20100012777	Supersonic Aircraft with Spike for Controlling and Reducing Sonic Boom - Method and arrangement for reducing the effects of a sonic boom created by an aerospace vehicle when said vehicle is flown at supersonic speed. The method includes providing the aerospace vehicle with a first spike extending from the nose thereof substantially in the direction of normal flight of the aerospace vehicle, the first spike having a second section aft of a first section that is aft of a leading end portion, the first and second sections having a second transition region therebetween and each of the sections having different cross-sectional areas, the leading end portion of the first spike tapering toward a predetermined cross-section with a first transition region between the predetermined cross-section and the first section. The first transition region is configured so as to reduce the coalescence of shock waves produced by the first spike during normal supersonic flight of the aerospace vehicle. A spike may also be included that extends from the tail of the aerospace vehicle to reduce the coalescence of shock waves produced by the spike during normal supersonic flight of the aerospace vehicle.	01-21-2010

20110053270	Patterning Hydrogels - A method for forming a pattern-coated substrate includes disposing a composition comprising a polysaccharide-based polymer on a substrate to generate a coated substrate. The polysaccharide-based polymer composition is substantially free of cross-linking monomers. The method further includes exposing a portion of the coated substrate to a first dose of UV radiation to induce crosslinking of the polysaccharide-based polymer, wherein a portion of the substrate is shielded from the ionizing radiation. The UV exposed coated substrate may be washed or hydrated to remove uncross-linked polysaccharide-based polymer.	03-03-2011
20120178162	POLYMER MATRICES FOR CELL CULTURE - Synthetic cell culture surfaces, including a hydrophobe modified cellulose or an hydroxylated acrylate polymer composition and optionally including a silica source, cell culture coating and cell culture articles incorporating the composition, and methods of making and using the articles for cell culture, as defined herein.	07-12-2012
20120189843	Coated Articles With Improved Fingerprint Resistance and Methods of Making Same - Described herein are various articles that have improved resistance to the adverse effects observed when tactilely-transferable residue is contacted therewith, along with methods for their manufacture and use. The articles and methods generally make use of an adhesion binder that can be used to form a polymer network around a solvent-soluble fluoropolymer to adhere the fluoropolymer to the surface of the article substrate.	07-26-2012
20130323419	METHODS FOR PREPARING POLYMER MEMBRANES ON POROUS SUPPORTS - Methods for preparing a polymer membrane on a porous support may include providing a porous support having an outer wall, a first end, a second end, and porous channel surfaces that define a plurality of channels through the porous support from the first end to the second end. The plurality of channels includes membrane channels. The channel surfaces that define the membrane channels are membrane-channel surfaces. The polymer membrane may be coated onto the porous support by first establishing a pressure differential between the outer wall and the plurality of channels. Then, a pre-polymer solution may be applied to the membrane-channel surfaces and, optionally, the first and second ends, by slip coating or emulsion coating while the pressure differential is maintained. This results in formation of a pre-polymer layer on at least the membrane-channel surfaces. Then, the pre-polymer layer may be cured to form the polymer membrane.	12-05-2013
20140342148	GLASS STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF CREATING AND PROCESSING GLASS STRUCTURES - A glass structure and a method for creating the glass structure include a glass carrier layer and a flexible glass substrate. The glass structure includes an intermediate layer at least temporarily bonding the flexible glass substrate to the glass carrier layer. The intermediate layer includes a first debond layer attached to an adhesion layer. The first debond layer is at least partially resistant to a high temperature processing of the glass structure at a temperature of greater than or equal to about 500° C. The first debond layer is configured to enable the flexible glass substrate to be debonded from the glass carrier layer after the high temperature processing of the glass structure. A method for processing the glass structure includes debonding the flexible glass substrate from the glass carrier layer after the high temperature process.	11-20-2014

20130319313	BOAT ACCESS HATCH AND SEAT - A boat access hatch and compartment are provided, wherein the hatch cover also serves as a seat for the boat, and includes a three-dimensional, multi-planar configuration. In one embodiment, the hatch cover includes three panels. A generally vertically oriented backrest panel is attached to a rear side of a horizontal seating panel. A front vertical panel is attached to an opposed end of the seating panel. In a preferred embodiment, the three-panel hatch cover is integrally formed into a monolithic, single unit that includes a hinge at or near an upper rear portion of the backrest panel. Seat cushions may be provided on the seat panel and the backrest panel.	12-05-2013
20140056013	LOW PROFILE BOAT NAVIGATION LIGHTS - Low profile navigation lights for a boat are provided, wherein the navigation lights are inset or recessed within a mount, which may be positioned along or within a rubrail of a boat. Each mount is preferably made from a tough, rigid material, such as metal or hard plastic, and includes a hole for receiving the light bulb and protective cover. The navigation lights are recessed within the mount, so that the mount serves to protect the lights against bumps or collisions against docks, piers, other vessels, and the like.	02-27-2014
