Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090094328System and Methods for Technology Evaluation and Adoption - A method for technology evaluation and adoption includes proposing a new technology and allowing at least one group to use the new technology. The at least one group provides feedback through at least one collaboration tool. The at least one group's use of the new technology is evaluated and at least one value based upon the evaluation is calculated. The new technology may be directed to at least one of new software, programs, services, or business processes.04-09-2009

20090321144PROTECTING AN ELEMENT FROM EXCESSIVE SURFACE WEAR BY LOCALIZED HARDENING - A method of protecting an element from excessive surface wear is provided. In this method, a localized area of the element that will be subjected to excessive surface wear is exposed to induction heating for a period sufficient to heat the localized area to an elevated temperature at which the localized area undergoes austenitic transformation. The localized area is quenched, followed by tempering, and then cooling. A result of the method is a localized hardened area formed monolithically with the element and having a localized hardness that is greater than a base hardness of the element.12-31-2009
20110136239CORROSION TESTING APPARATUS AND METHODS - A system for sulfide stress cracking testing comprises an enclosed testing chamber including a fluid bath comprising a liquid saturated with hydrogen sulfide gas. In addition, the system comprises a test fixture disposed in the testing chamber and at least partially submerged in the fluid bath. The test fixture includes a housing having an internal chamber in fluid communication with the fluid bath and a test assembly disposed in the internal chamber. The test assembly comprises a first upper support and a second upper support, a first lower support and a second lower support, and a first platen engaging each of the upper supports and adapted to transfer an applied vertical load to the upper supports. Further, the system comprises a test specimen mounted in the test assembly between the upper supports and the lower supports.06-09-2011

20090310974APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE POSITION OF MEDIA IN A MEDIA PATH - An apparatus (12-17-2009
20110157604EDGE SENSING APPARATUS AND METHOD REDUCING SHEET FLY HEIGHT ERROR - An edge sensing apparatus is disclosed including first and second emitters, first and second detectors and a timer. Beams radiated from the first emitter being emitted in an opposite direction from beams radiated from the second emitter. The first and second detectors being aligned to receive beams from the first and second emitters respectively, where the first detector is offset in a cross-process direction from the first emitter and/or the second detector. The timer receiving signals from both the first and second detectors, wherein a change of the signals determines a position of an edge of a substrate media sheet causing the change of signals. Also, an edge sensing method is disclosed including measuring a mean time associated with a change of signals received from the two detectors and determining a location of a sheet edge causing the change of signals based on the mean time.06-30-2011

20110196650DUAL CROSS BEAM SENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING LEAD EDGE AND/OR TRAIL EDGE MEDIA CURL - A system and method for measuring a lead edge and/or a trail edge media curl utilizing a dual cross beam sensor. The dual cross beam sensor includes one or more pairs of emitters (e.g., a pair to two pairs of emitters) and one or more detectors positioned sequentially in a media path so that a media passes via dual cross beams. Timing data with respect to the media can be measured as the media crosses via the dual cross beam sensor from a leading edge and/or trailing edge. A true instantaneous media speed and a curl height (i.e., media tip height or media curvature) can be simultaneously calculated from the timing data associated with the lead edge/trail edge with respect to each single cross beams of the dual cross beam sensor. An average curl height can be then calculated to enhance the accuracy of the media curl measurement.08-11-2011
