| 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 |

| 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 |

| 20110153594 | Apparatus and Method for Analyzing Query Optimizer Performance - A method of analyzing the performance of a query optimizer includes identifying an event trigger. A reproduction object characterizing operational parameters of the customer computer at the time of the event trigger is populated. The reproduction object is transported from the customer computer to a test computer. The reproduction object is analyzed at the test computer to characterize the performance of a query optimizer. | 06-23-2011 |

| 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 |

| 20090005181 | COMPENSATOR ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTORCYCLE PRIMARY DRIVE - A compensator assembly for transmitting torque from a crankshaft of an engine to a clutch in a motorcycle drive train. The compensator assembly includes a cam slider, a sprocket, and a spring pack biasing the cam slider into engagement with the sprocket. The spring pack includes multiple springs having different spring rates. The cam slider includes first and second dissimilar cam members. A retainer is coupled to the crankshaft and formed with an anti-rotation feature engageable to hold the retainer, the cam slider, and the crankshaft stationary during tightening of a retaining bolt. The sprocket includes a plurality of spokes and axial openings. At least a portion of the cam slider extends through one of the plurality of axial openings. | 01-01-2009 |
