20100079291 | Personalized Activity Monitor and Weight Management System - A weight management system comprised of a body worn device which interfaces periodically with a computer. The established weight goals of the user are translated by the computer into daily activity targets and downloaded into the device. The device monitors the user's activity, offering progress status toward the daily activity target. Further, the device alerts the user of excessive sedentary periods which depress metabolic indicators. The activity targets, allowed length of sedentary periods and suggested activities to reach goal are specific to the individual based on their biometrics and living environment. The computer provides historical tracking of activity for motivational and coaching purposes. | 04-01-2010 |

20090188590 | METHODS OF REPAIRING ENGINE COMPONENTS - Methods are provided for repairing an engine component. In an embodiment, a method includes forming at least one layer of a first braze alloy mixture including about 40% by weight of a first base alloy material and about 60% by weight of a first braze alloy material, over a structural feature of the component. The first braze alloy material includes chromium, cobalt, tungsten, tantalum, aluminum, hafnium, carbon, boron, and a balance of nickel. A second braze alloy mixture is disposed over the at least one layer of the first braze alloy mixture, the second braze alloy mixture including between about 50% and about 60% by weight of a second base alloy material, and between about 40% and about 50% by weight of a second braze alloy material. The component is then subjected to heat treatment, and may be further subjected to machining, coating and final inspection. | 07-30-2009 |
20110112002 | METHODS OF CLEANING COMPONENTS HAVING INTERNAL PASSAGES - Methods are provided for cleaning a component having internal passages. A method includes contacting the component with an aqueous hydrogen fluoride solution without agitating the solution for a time period in a range of about 20 minutes to about an hour to dissolve a solid piece of blockage material blocking at least a portion of the internal passages, the aqueous hydrogen fluoride solution comprising, by volume, about 40 percent to about 60 percent hydrogen fluoride and optionally, a corrosion inhibitor, and the blockage material comprising a silicate and rinsing the component with water to remove at least a portion of the aqueous hydrogen fluoride solution from surfaces of the component defining at least a portion of the internal passages. | 05-12-2011 |

20120254264 | Network-Attachable, File-Accessible Storage Drive - Storage drive logic and a standalone tape file structure are described. File transfer logic transfers file data to and from a network according to a first protocol. Media access logic accesses a sequential-access storage medium associated with the drive according to a second protocol. Media management logic translates file-based commands received from the network according to the first protocol into sequential-access device commands according to the second protocol. The device commands control accessing of data by the drive. The storage medium may be a magnetic tape including a data region for storing data in a file format, and a table of contents (TOC) region for storing a table of contents that indexes the locations of files within the data region. | 10-04-2012 |

20110036929 | Funnel meter measuring device - A new measuring device can be used with compression sprayers. The sprayer has a tank that holds liquid, a pump that enables a user to compress air in the tank, a spray nozzle that is in fluid communication with the tank, an inlet opening to the tank, and a funnel surface that extends upwardly and outwardly from the inlet opening. A special gate fits onto a broken rim that extends upwardly from the inlet opening, and rotates between one position (in which liquid on the funnel surface flows into the tank through gaps in the broken rim) and another position (in which wall sections on the gate block the gaps). Markings on the funnel surface enable a user to measure a quantity of liquid that is retained on the funnel surface. Ribs and recesses on the broken rim and on the gate releasably, axially secure the gate to the broken rim. | 02-17-2011 |
20130048761 | SPRINGLESS SHUT-OFF VALVE FOR LIQUID SPRAYERS - A springless valve that is used for a liquid sprayer has a body that has an upstream bore that has three parts with increasingly larger cross-sections. A pin portion of a slide/pin combination moves between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, liquid in the first part of the upstream bore flows into inlets in the third part of the upstream bore, through a central passage, to an outlet to a downstream bore. A linearly-moving slide portion on the slide/pin combination fits within a recess in the body, and has resilient arms that engage front and rear radial faces on a narrowed waist on the pin. The arms extend over opposed sides of the narrowed waist, have tangs that lock onto a lower side of that waist, and rigidly connect the slide portion to the pin portion, enabling a user to move the slide/pin combination axially between the open and closed positions. | 02-28-2013 |

20130071815 | Architecture for Full Motion Diagnostic Training with Trigger-Based Devices - Apparatus and associated methods relate to a training system adapted to display to a user three dimensional motion trajectory data of a trigger-based device temporally proximate to a trigger action. In an illustrative example, the training system may provide a near real-time graphical display and/or post-firing analysis with graphical display indications of firearm orientation in three axes before, during, or after a trigger action. Some embodiments may output post-firing analysis of the orientation or trajectory to a user of the firearm. The stored graphical display indications may be stored or displayed in substantially real time to a user or observer, who may provide corrective feedback to the user. The three axes of motion may be mutually orthogonal to define three dimensional space. Various embodiments may provide time-shifting of the graphical display indications, for example, to facilitate analysis of the three axis motion relative in time to trigger actions. | 03-21-2013 |
