Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090142762Method of Screening for Binding Interaction Using Sets of Microparticles and Unique Probes - The present invention relates to methods for screening for binding interactions using multiple sets of microparticles, wherein said set has the same identifiable characteristic and wherein one of more sets comprise subsets of microparticles and said subset presents at least one unique probe that acts as a binding partner for a target molecule in a biological sample. In particular, the invention provides for methods of detecting tissue-typing antigens in donor tissue or recipient tissue using these multiple sets of microparticles.06-04-2009

20080310931Apparatus and Methods for Fastening a Panel or Other Components - Fasteners such as clip nut fasteners can include a clip having a nut cage and a nut supported by the nut cage. The nut cage can have a wall supporting a portion of the nut wherein the wall can flex toward and away from the nut. The nut can have projections or other discontinuities for engaging bearing surfaces in the nut cage, for limiting rotation of the nut when under torque.12-18-2008
20090016843Spacer Assemblies, Apparatus and Methods of Supporting Hardware - Light-weight fastener assemblies, spacers, standoff and other fastener components include one or more non-metal parts. A non-metal spacer can support a fastener element or fastener support so they fastener and a payload can be supported spaced apart from a surface such as an aircraft surface.01-15-2009
20090028660Fasteners, Fastener Components and Fastener Receptacles - Fasteners, fastener components and fastener receptacles, including quarter-turn fasteners may use a receptacle body having a non-metal material and one or more fastener engagement structures that together define a non-circular passage in the body. Underneath the fastener engagement structures, one or more support structures extend inwardly under the corresponding fastener engagement structures for supporting the underside of the fastener engagement structures. The support structures can have a concave configuration relative to an axis of the body. Additionally, a support structure can be co-extensive with the corresponding fastener engagement structure.01-29-2009
20090103997Apparatus and Methods for Securing a Fastener - A nut plate assembly and a method for securing a nut plate assembly may include a support for a fastener element wherein the support has a base to be supported and/or fixed on a support surface and the base has another surface against which the fastener element bears. The base also supports a structure for supporting the fastener element where the structure is at least partly non-symmetrical about a plane other than a horizontal plane parallel to the base. One side of the base may be secured to the support surface and the other side of the base may have the fastener element bearing against it when a complementary fastener element is secured to the first fastener element.04-23-2009
20090129885FLOATING NUT PLATE - Methods relating to and apparatus such as floating nut plates may include complementary surfaces limiting movement of a retainer toward or away from side walls of a receiver, such as wherein a nut element is positioned between the retainer and the receiver. One of the complementary surfaces may be a groove formed in the retainer. In one configuration, the receiver and/or retainer are non-metal.05-21-2009
20110123296Fasteners, Fastener Components and Fastener Receptacles - Fasteners, fastener components and fastener receptacles, including quarter-turn fasteners may use a receptacle body having a non-metal material and one or more fastener engagement structures that together define a non-circular passage in the body. Underneath the fastener engagement structures, one or more support structures extend inwardly under the corresponding fastener engagement structures for supporting the underside of the fastener engagement structures. The support structures can have a concave configuration relative to an axis of the body. Additionally, a support structure can be co-extensive with the corresponding fastener engagement structure.05-26-2011

20110152036SKATING SIMULATOR - The invention is a skating simulator 10 having a frame 20, a longitudinally extending rail 30, a carriage 40, and a foot pedal 50. The rail 30 is attached to the frame 20. The carriage 40 operably engages the rail 30 for reciprocating along a path 60 along the rail 30. The foot pedal 50 is attached to the carriage 40. The foot pedal 50 has an intermediate member 51, a foot pad 52, means for attaching the foot pad 52 to the intermediate member 51 allowing non circular arcuate movement of the foot pad 52 in relation to the intermediate member 51 in the longitudinal direction X and transverse direction Z.06-23-2011

20100012686Container With Extendable Spout - A fluid container may have a body that defines a void for receiving a fluid. A neck extends outward from the body, and a spout the spout is at least partially located within the neck. The spout is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. When the spout is in the retracted position, a majority of the spout is located within the neck and the fluid is prevented from flowing out of the container through the spout. When the spout is in the extended position, however, the spout extends outward from the neck and the fluid is free to flow out of the container through the spout. An exterior surface of the spout may be at least partially formed from a deformable material, and a protrusion in the neck contacts the material and extends into the material to form a seal.01-21-2010

20100065040HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM - An integrated heating and cooling system for a living space of a building connects together (a) a solar-based heating and cooling system and (b) heating and cooling systems that rely directly or indirectly on fossil fuels that are conventionally used in buildings. The system operates the solar-based heating and cooling system preferentially to heat or cool the living space. Therefore, the system minimises the use of fossil fuels to heat and cool the living space.03-18-2010

20090125837TAB CONTROL WITH TYPE AHEAD AND THUMBNAIL IMAGES - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to tab control presentation and provide a method, system and computer program product for tab control management with type-ahead and thumbnail imagery. In an embodiment of the invention, a tab control navigation method can be provided. The method can include arranging thumbnail images for corresponding tabs in a tab control within a tab navigation view, and, in response to a selection of one of the thumbnail images, activating a corresponding one of the tabs in the tab control. The method further can include receiving text in a type-ahead filter, and filtering the tab navigation view to include only thumbnail images corresponding to tabs associated with the text.05-14-2009

20100213217LIQUID DISPENSING ASSEMBLY - A dispensing assembly including a cartridge and a retainer. The cartridge includes a dispensing end and defines a reservoir for holding a liquid. The dispensing end includes a connector portion for receiving an end fitting with a rotational connection. The retainer includes a first open end and receives the cartridge such that the connector portion communicates with the first open end in a manner allowing connection of the end fitting. The retainer couples with the cartridge in a manner preventing relative rotation between the cartridge and the retainer.08-26-2010
