20120325744 | MONITORING AND CONTROL OF UNIT OPERATIONS FOR GENERATING STEAM FROM PRODUCED WATER - In a process and apparatus for treating produced water, for example for re-use in an oil or bitumen extraction operation of for treating frac water, the produced water flows through a series of treatment units. A portion of the produced water may by-pass one or more of the treatment units but the by-pass portion may be such that the treated water is still acceptable, for example for discharge or reuse. Concentrations of oil and grease, organic carbon, silica, pH or related parameters in the produced water may be monitored and used to control the process or apparatus. Control of the process may involve one or more of altering a by-pass portion, altering the addition of chemicals, and altering the operation of a unit process. The process may be controlled to respond to upset conditions, or such that the concentration of one or more limiting contaminants is near, but not over, a specified maximum for re-use or discharge. | 12-27-2012 |

20140091969 | RADOME FOR A RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY - A radome for a radar sensor that includes a first and second section. Each section is formed of layers that have an electrical thickness substantially equal to an integer multiple of a guided half-wavelengths of the radar beam. Each of the sections are configured such that, at a location spaced apart from the radome, a first phase angle of the first portion of the radar beam differs from a second phase angle of the second portion of the radar beam by an amount substantially corresponding to an integer number of three hundred sixty degrees (360°) of phase angle shift. | 04-03-2014 |
20140159942 | PARTIAL COVERING RADOME FOR A RADAR UNIT - A sensor assembly that integrates a camera and a radar sensor is described herein. The sensor assembly includes a housing configured to partially enclose the camera and the radar sensor, and define a partial radome that partially intrudes into the radar beam. The partial radome is configured such that after passing through the partial radome a first phase angle of the first portion of the radar beam differs from a second phase angle of the second portion of the radar beam by an amount substantially corresponding to an integer number of three hundred sixty degrees (360°) of phase angle shift. The partial radome provides glare shield to the camera, protection to assembly, and is configured to minimally effect radar performance. | 06-12-2014 |
20150040350 | ANTI-RATTLE SLEEVE FOR A HINGE JOINT - An anti-rattle sleeve that includes a retention feature on a split end that extends radially from the body portion and a slot configured to allow the retention feature to be pressed through an opening. The sleeve also includes a flange portion opposite the split end that includes an inner bump configured to contact a surface of an object bracket and an outer bump configured to contact a surface of a mounting bracket. The inner bump and the outer bump are located relative to the slot such that the sleeve is deformed by the brackets in a manner effective to reduce relative motion between the object bracket and the mounting bracket when compressed between the brackets. | 02-12-2015 |

20110220540 | Apparatus and Method for Making Bag Assembly - An apparatus for forming a bag assembly includes opposing die members. Each opposing die member defines a single die and has a perimeter-welding portion for forming a perimeter-weld of the bag assembly and a tube-welding portion for forming a tube-weld of the bag assembly. During operation, the perimeter-welding and tube-welding portions weld the bag assembly simultaneously, then the perimeter-welding portion of one of the opposing die members is moved relative to the tube welding portion of the die member to increase the distance between the perimeter-welding portions of the opposing die members. When the perimeter-welding portions are moved apart, welding by the perimeter-welding portions is generally suspended while welding by the tube-welding portions may continue. | 09-15-2011 |

20090241313 | Pin Removal and Insertion Tool - A tool for the removal and insertion of the retaining pins used to maintain teeth, or caps, on heavy equipment. The tool has an elongated body with the majority portion of the ends being angled and the remaining portion chamfered. A handle extends from the body and on the opposing side is a pin removal bar at right angles to the body which has a sufficient length to extend beyond the teeth. Preferably the pin removal bar is offset from the center of the body to position the pin removal bar proximate the tooth adjacent to the pin to be removed. A removal pin is affixed to the distal end of the pin removal bar and has a length slightly less than a distance between teeth. | 10-01-2009 |

20090203015 | MULTIPLEX ASSAYS FOR HORMONAL AND GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTORS, AND USES THEREOF - The present invention provides compositions and methods for simultaneously detecting mRNA expression levels of hormonal receptors, particularly both estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), optionally in combination with growth factor receptors, particularly epidermal growth factor receptor ERBB2 (Her-2), and further optionally in combination with control genes, such as the housekeeping genes NUP214 and/or PPIG. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are useful for determining hormonal receptor and/or growth factor receptor status, particular both ER and PR status and optionally also ERBB2 status, such as for assessing or treating breast cancer. | 08-13-2009 |
