20110064588 | INLET THROTTLE CONTROLLED LIQUID PUMP WITH CAVITATION DAMAGE AVOIDANCE FEATURE - A liquid pump includes an electronically controlled throttle inlet valve to control pump output. With each reciprocation cycle, a plunger displaces a fixed volume of fluid. When less than this fixed volume is desired as the output from the pump, the electronically controlled throttle inlet valve throttles flow past a passive inlet check valve to reduce output. As a consequence, cavitation bubbles are generated during the intake stroke. Cavitation damage to surfaces that define the inlet port passage are avoided by a specifically shaped and sized cavitation flow adjuster extending from the valve member of the passive inlet check valve. By positioning the cavitation flow adjuster in the inlet port passage, a flow pattern is formed in a way to encourage cavitation bubble collapse away from surfaces that could result in unacceptable cavitation damage to the pump. | 03-17-2011 |

One end of the rotatable pump shaft is attachable to a gear. The housing also includes a retainer disposed within the housing and located about the pump shaft. The retainer includes a first rim and a second rim that are spaced apart from each other. The retainer also includes a side wall extending between the first and the second rims. Further, the side wall of the retainer defines a first volume and a second volume within the housing. The side wall of the retainer has a plurality of apertures configured to allow a fluid flow from the first volume to the second volume while retaining particulate contaminants larger than a size of the apertures within the first volume. | 03-19-2015 |

20090140836 | MOVEABLE BARRIER OPERATOR TRANSLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system includes a translator device that is configured to receive, using a pre-programmed native mode of operation, a first barrier actuation code transmitted by a transmitter according to a first code format. The translator device then analyzes the first barrier actuation code and verifies that it is a valid code. When a valid code, the translator device saves the information contained in the code, and creates a second barrier actuation code at least in part from information contained in the first actuation code and transmits the second barrier actuation code according to the second code format, which is different from the first code format. A barrier operator is coupled to the translator device and a barrier. The barrier operator has a receiver apparatus and the receiver apparatus receives the second barrier actuation code. The barrier operator determines whether the second barrier actuation code is valid, and when the barrier actuation code is determined to be valid, actuates the barrier. | 06-04-2009 |
20090175025 | PERMANENTLY INSTALLED LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENTS FOR A BARRIER OPERATOR - A barrier movement operator controls movement of a movable barrier. The barrier movement operator includes a head unit, including a chassis, for commanding the movable barrier to perform movable barrier functions. A plurality of closely mounted light emitting elements are fixedly mounted onto the head unit. A heat sink is in thermal communication with the set of light emitting elements and with the chassis of the barrier movement operator to dissipate thermal energy from the set of light emitting elements. A controller is utilized for controlling the head unit to provide power to the set of light emitting elements. | 07-09-2009 |

20100304713 | Technique for restricting access to a wireless communication service - In providing a wireless communication service of a selected type, a user of a mobile communication device may attempt to access the selected type of service despite his/her subscription to a different type of service. In processing the device's request for accessing the selected type of service, an authentication vector is retrieved based on information identifying the device in the request. The access to the selected type of service may be denied after it is determined that a presentation of the authentication vector does not conform to the selected type of service. | 12-02-2010 |

20110066518 | BID INVALIDATING AUCTION - A bid invalidating auction system may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory stores a plurality of elements characterized by an ordering in which the elements will be rendered ineligible to win a contest. The processor provides, via the interface, the elements to the users, and receives, via the interface, a selection of an element from a user. The processor associates the element with the user if the element is eligible and not associated with another user. The processor renders the next eligible element in the ordering ineligible, if the first element is associated with the first user. The processor repeats the receive, associate, identify and render until an occurrence of an event. Upon the occurrence of the event, the processor identifies the next eligible element in the ordering which is associated with a user and designates the associated user the winner. | 03-17-2011 |
