| 20110064940 | DISPERSION METHOD FOR PARTICLES IN NANOCOMPOSITES AND METHOD OF FORMING NANOCOMPOSITES - A method of manufacturing a nanocomposite includes exposing a plurality of substantially dry nanoparticles to a substantially dry and solid matrix material to form a combination of the nanoparticles and the matrix material. The method also includes agitating the combination of the nanoparticles and the matrix material to thereby disperse the nanoparticles on the matrix material. The matrix material remains in a solid phase during agitating. Furthermore, the method includes processing the combination to form the nanocomposite having the nanoparticles dispersed in the matrix material. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110250427 | ULTRASTRONG AND STIFF LAYERED POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES AND HIERARCHICAL LAMINATE MATERIALS THEREOF - A stiff layered polymer nanocomposite comprising a substrate adapted to receive a plurality of alternating layers of a first material and a second material; wherein the first material and second material are a polyelectrolyte, an organic polymer or an inorganic colloid and said first material and said second material have a chemical affinity for each other, said plurality of layers crosslinked using a chemical or physical crosslinking agent. Thin films that are consolidated and optionally crosslinked can be manufactured into hierarchical laminates with rigid and stress resistant properties. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20100005911 | Weathering Test Apparatus With Real-Time Color Measurement - What is disclosed is a weathering test apparatus with an In situ, Real-time Color Measurement System (IRCMS) with an input optic connected to a light pipe placed in the chamber between a light source and a test specimen in turn connected to a color measuring sensor and the associated processing and storage system to determine the color of a specimen in a continuous fashion within the enclosure of the weathering device. The color obtained is then compared a stored value or reference to determine the color evolution over time and can also be compared with the Standard Reference Materials (SRM) to determine when standardized testing has achieved acceptable color change values. In another embodiment, the input optic is offset from a line between the specimen and the light source to limit interference of shading created by the optic, and in another embodiment, several input optics are used in tandem to measure the color of different specimens located at different angular orientations on the rotating rack in the chamber. In yet another embodiment, a second optic is used to take a full-spectrum measurement of the irradiant light source used in the color calculation under the CIE standard. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20110246481 | Apparatus and Method for Query Prioritization in a Shared Nothing Distributed Database - A shared nothing distributed database system includes a master node and a set of shared nothing nodes. Each shared nothing node includes a node state table stored in memory that characterizes various statements and multiple processes implementing each statement, target resource consumption rate for each process and process activity information. A monitor module executed by a central processing unit processes information in the node state table and adjusts values in the node state table in accordance with priority criteria specifying individual user priority ascribed to a statement. A query associated with a statement is processed in the shared nothing distributed database system in accordance with the priority criteria. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110295907 | Apparatus and Method for Expanding a Shared-Nothing System - A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to evaluate an expanded shared-nothing data store configuration. A data redistribution schedule table with specified parameters is formed. Data is redistributed within the expanded shared-nothing data store in accordance with the data redistribution schedule table. | 12-01-2011 |
