20120020727 | LOCKING PLATE SYSTEM - A locking plate system comprising a locking plate assembly and proprietary wrench is disclosed. In a first embodiment, the locking plate assembly is installed either singularly or in sets on a rigid panel (rectangular or L-shaped) and used to secure the panel to an elevator wall or door jam. In addition, rivets are used to secure the locking plate assembly, The locking plate assembly utilizes a jack post and a latch dog, each having teeth that are manipulated to lock and unlock the system. The respective angles of the interfacing teeth on both the jack post and latch dog provide the unique capability of the locking system to effectuate both the functional compressive strength of the locking plate and the ability of the mechanism to retain its locking functionality. In other embodiments, the rigid panels are included in the embodiment, with specific description given for the composition of the panels. | 01-26-2012 |

20080306778 | Accessibility Insurance Coverage Management - Accessibility insurance coverage management is provided. An insurance server receives a coverage request from a requester that includes a user identifier corresponding to a user (i.e. policyholder). The insurance server matches the user identifier with a stored policyholder identifier and retrieves accessibility data corresponding to the matched policyholder identifier. If required, the insurance server updates the policyholder's accessibility data by receiving accessibility data from an accessibility database server. The insurance server identifies the policyholder's coverage using the user's accessibility data along with the user's policy information. The insurance server sends a message to the requester which indicates an amount of the particular item corresponding to the coverage request the insurance server covers. The insurance server receives accessibility service bills on a frequent basis, such as monthly. The insurance server verifies the billing information, pays the bill, and updates policyholder claims paid to date information. | 12-11-2008 |

20100293932 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRESSURE RELIEF IN AN EXHAUST BRAKE - An exhaust brake has a body with a passageway for exhaust gases therein. A valve member is movably located within the passageway for selective movement between an open position where the valve member opens the passageway and exhaust gases are free to move through the passageway and a closed position where the valve member blocks the passageway and the passage of exhaust gases through the passageway. The valve member has an aperture therethrough to permit a limited flow of exhaust gases through the aperture when the aperture is open. An exhaust valve actuator mechanism is coupled to the valve member for moving the valve member between the open position and the closed position. A closure member is positioned adjacent to the aperture. The closure member has an open position where the closure member is spaced apart from the valve member and permits a flow of exhaust gases through the aperture and the closure member having a closed position where the closure member contacts the valve member about the aperture and inhibits a flow of exhaust gases through the aperture, An actuator member operatively engages the closure member.

20120112685 | BATTERY PACK MANAGER UNIT AND METHOD FOR USING SAME TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF A BATTERY PACK - The present invention generally relates to a device and method for the management of a collection of battery cells. In one embodiment, the present invention permits the management of a collection of battery cells composed of an overall battery pack manager unit, individual cell manager units, and wireless communication links between these units. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a device and method for the management of a collection of battery cells in the field of rechargeable batteries, such as batteries based on lithium-based chemistries, nickel-based chemistries, and lead-acid chemistries. In still another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method that permits the maximization of battery pack capacity during a charge-discharge cycle and/or permits the maximization of the total number of charge-discharge cycles. | 05-10-2012 |

20140197980 | TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICES-BROADCAST (TIS-B) AUTOMATIC ADDRESS DETECTION AND COVERAGE INDICATION - Techniques are described that allow a system, such as a portable ADS-B-enabled device, to automatically determine whether the aircraft in which the system is employed is included in air traffic information (e.g., TIS-B air traffic information) broadcast by an air traffic control (ATC) ground station. The system includes a receiver assembly to receive a first transmission from a transponder of the aircraft that includes an identification address (e.g., an ICAO address) that identifies the aircraft. The receiver assembly also receives a second transmission from the ATC ground station that includes air traffic information and a client list including identification addresses of aircraft included in the air traffic information. The identification address of the aircraft is retrieved from the first transmission and used to determine whether the aircraft is included in the air traffic information by comparing the identification address with the identification addresses in the client list. | 07-17-2014 |
20140197981 | TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICES-BROADCAST (TIS-B) TRAFFIC SNOOPING - An ADS-B system associated with an aircraft is configured to furnish an indication whether the aircraft is within coverage of air traffic information transmitted by an air traffic control ground station. The ADS-B system receives transmissions from an air traffic control ground station that include air traffic information and a client list comprising identification addresses of aircraft included in the air traffic information. The ADS-B system determines whether the aircraft is within a range of a second aircraft and whether the second aircraft is included in the air traffic information by comparing an identification address of the second aircraft with the identification addresses in the client list. The ADS-B system furnishes an indication that the aircraft is within coverage of the air traffic information when the second aircraft is included in the air traffic information and the aircraft is within the range of the second aircraft. | 07-17-2014 |

20090155756 | EXTENSIBLE EXAM LANGUAGE (XXL) PROTOCOL FOR COMPUTER BASED TESTING - A memory stores a plurality of first data structures, which includes element specific data objects indicating a classification of at least one of the plurality of segments of the test definition language, and second data structures, which include attribute specific data objects indicating at least one attribute of the segments of the test definition language implemented by a computer. A method for computer-based testing includes authoring a test specification and content of the at least one test using a test definition language, compiling the test specification and content of the at least one test to create a compiled test specification and content, which includes validating the test specification and content, storing the compiled test specification and content to a resource file, and retrieving the compiled test specification and content from the resource file during delivery of the test. | 06-18-2009 |

20140046048 | MOLECULAR STANDARDS FOR MICROBIAL PATHOGENS - A method for constructing a consensus sequence from a sequence alignment. The consensus sequence may be used to generate molecular standards that may substitute for genomic DNA in various assays. Since a molecular standard cannot have unresolved bases, the method removes less informative sequences to resolve all positions in the alignment. Also includes several sequences from pathogenic waterborne species that were constructed according to the method. | 02-13-2014 |
