20100043891 | VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY - A device to enhance sealing is provided. The device includes a body and a pressure cup. The pressure cup includes a channel, a first pressure channel, and a second pressure channel. The channel is formed in a surface of the body to surround a first portion of the surface. The channel is configured to hold an o-ring. The first pressure channel extends through the body and opens into the first portion of the surface. The second pressure channel extends through the body and opens into the channel. Pneumatic pressure within the second pressure channel is controlled to hold the o-ring in the channel when a second pressure within the first pressure channel changes. | 02-25-2010 |
20120012719 | ADJUSTABLE CARRIAGE HOLDER FOR SUPPORT APPARATUS - A carriage holder for support of an apparatus includes identical upper and lower support plates having on their outer edge a number of indentations corresponding to the number of apparatus to be supported, said indentations providing aligned radial horizontal grasping surfaces on one side of said apparatus. The carriage holder also includes a series of vertical spring pivot pins joining said upper and lower support plates, adjacent to each said indentation, each such pin bearing a torsion spring loaded retractable clamp member to provide grasping surfaces in retracted position opposite to the grasping surfaces of said indentations. The carriage holder also includes an unobstructed aperture in each of said aligned support plates for mounting said carriage holder on a shaft. The carriage holder further includes a locking mechanism to hold said carriage in a fixed position on the shaft. | 01-19-2012 |

20120039966 | Rinse-Off Care Products and Consumer Product Line-ups Comprising Same - Consumer product line-ups are provided that include a rinse-off care product that may be used in conjunction with a traditional leave-on antiperspirant or deodorant product to better manage underarm malodor. | 02-16-2012 |
20120195944 | Rinse-Off Care Products and Consumer Product Line-ups Comprising Same - Consumer product line-ups are provided that include a rinse-off care product that may be used in conjunction with a traditional leave-on antiperspirant or deodorant product to better manage underarm malodor. | 08-02-2012 |
20130045907 | Methods of Reducing Odor - Methods for reducing odor include applying and/or depositing particulate antimicrobial agents via a rinse-off personal care composition to the skin and/or hair follicles. | 02-21-2013 |
20130115317 | Method for Identifying Pre-Biotics and Compositions Containing the Same - A method for indentifying test agents that exhibit prebiotic activity on companion animal skin commensal microorganisms and dermatological compositions that include such agents. The method includes providing a test culture of a test agent, a companion animal skin commensal microorganism and a minimal carbon medium. The method provides a time efficient and cost effective way to predict in vivo prebiotic activity of a test agent on skin commensal microorganisms. | 05-09-2013 |
20140017190 | Deodorant Methods - Compositions including a polyvinylamine malodor control polymer and/or a metalated polyvinylamine malodor control polymer, an emollient, and water; and methods thereof are provided.

20080307292 | Method and Apparatus for Digit-Serial Communications for Iterative Digital Processing Algorithms - An architecture and a method are provided for decoding codewords for codes such as low density parity check (LDPC) codes. An iterative decoding algorithm such as the Belief Propagation Algorithm (BPA) is employed that attempts to correct errors in an input block of symbols via a structure containing two sets of nodes through node processing and the passing of messages between nodes. Message passing and node processing is performed in a digit-serial manner instead of a bit-parallel manner. | 12-11-2008 |
20110231069 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING GROUND ENGAGING TOOL POSITION BASED ON FLUID PRESSURE - An agricultural implement is provided that includes a ground engaging tool configured to engage soil in a working position and to disengage the soil in a non-working position. The agricultural implement also includes an actuating cylinder coupled to the ground engaging tool and configured to transition the ground engaging tool between the working position and the non-working position based on a flow of fluid from a fluid supply system. In addition, the agricultural implement includes at least one sensor configured to output a signal indicative of a fluid pressure within the fluid supply system, and a controller configured to determine whether the ground engaging tool is in the working position or the non-working position based on the signal. | 09-22-2011 |
