20100230971 | Mooring System for Tidal Stream and Ocean Current Turbines - A tidal stream or ocean current turbine is connected to a submerged buoy that is tethered to the seabed to create a virtual seabed level that is higher than the actual seabed. The buoy is constrained by tensioned tethers or catenary mooring lines such that it is approximately geofixed at a prescribed depth of immersion and orientation. The turbine device is attached to the submerged buoy by a connector strut that allows the device to swivel about the geofixed location. The strut to buoy connection incorporates a bearing system that allows the strut freedom of rotation in the horizontal and vertical planes about the geofixed buoy. The reserve of buoyancy in the submerged buoy acts to resist the vertical component of the mooring force such that the drag force on the turbine device cannot lead the device to submerge excessively or cause the downstream tension tether mooring lines to go slack. | 09-16-2010 |

20110247682 | Solar Balls: Solar Collection System for Any Climate - The energy crisis that has long been accepted in the scientific community is being embraced by society along with an increasing sense of environmental responsibility. Solar will be a large part of the renewable energy revolution. Solar harnessing technology has primarily focused on solar farms or on off-grid, residential use and mostly on warm, dry climates that have high percentages of clear sky. Cooler, wetter climates have seen less research and resources dedicated to solutions and indeed have a different set of requirements than for traditional desert solar farms. This invention provides a simple tracking solar solution that combines both concentrated photovoltaic CPV and traditional photovoltaic (PV), although the solution can use only CPV or PV. The invention reduces the structural and drive demands by shielding the solar collecting mechanisms inside an enclosure and then connecting the collecting mechanisms in synchronous arrays. By shielding the collecting mechanisms from moisture and wind, the drive and support mechanisms can be very simple and inexpensive. The use of both CPV and PV increases the efficiency, particularly in cooler climates. | 10-13-2011 |
20120026091 | PEN-TYPE MOUSE - A pen-type mouse includes a shoe that is movable with respect to a flat surface, an elongated body, and a joint connecting the shoe and the body such that the body is at least partially rotatable with respect to the shoe about a first axis that is generally parallel to the flat surface and about a second axis that is also generally parallel to the flat surface, but is prevented from rotating about a third axis that is generally perpendicular to the flat surface. The pen-type mouse can include a position detection module for determining a position of the shoe at each of a plurality of times as the shoe is moved, and a link for communicating the determined positions to a computing device. | 02-02-2012 |
20150025391 | Tissue Fluorescence Monitor With Ambient Light Rejection - Fluorescent markers used to identify a tissue may be imaged in a bright environment by synchronizing the imaging process with rapidly switched ambient lighting so that imaging occurs in phase with a switching off of the ambient lighting. In this way, valuable fluorescent imaging may be performed in an environment that appears to be brightly illuminated, for example in the area of a surgical suite. | 01-22-2015 |
20150313557 | CT Machine for Multi-Angle Scanning of Stationary Patients - A CT machine for scanning a stationary patient may provide for two-bar linkage articulated arms to move a CT gantry in an arbitrary trajectory. In one embodiment, the gantry may fit within a cavity to expose a central platform, which may support a patient for vertical scans in which the gantry housing rises from the cavity after the patient is so positioned. | 11-05-2015 |

20120300890 | SEGMENTED REACTION CHAMBER FOR RADIOISOTOPE PRODUCTION - A reactor that is operable to produce an isotope includes a region for containing a controlled nuclear fission reaction, the region segmented into a plurality of independent compartments, each of the compartments for containing a parent material in an aqueous solution that interacts with neutrons to produce the isotope via a fission reaction. Also provided are methods of producing an isotope using the same. | 11-29-2012 |
20140153684 | Dry Phase Reactor for Generating Medical Isotopes - An apparatus for generating medical isotopes provides for the irradiation of dry-phase, granular uranium compounds which are then dissolved in a solvent for separation of the medical isotope from the irradiated compound. Once the medical isotope is removed, the dissolved compound may be reconstituted in dry granular form for repeated irradiation. | 06-05-2014 |

20100199077 | AUTHENTICATED DEBUG ACCESS FOR FIELD RETURNS - Under the direction of a first party, an integrated circuit (IC) device is configured to temporarily enable access to a debug interface of the IC device via authentication of the first party by a challenge/response process using a key of the IC device and a challenge value generated at the IC device. The first party then may conduct a software evaluation of the IC device via the debug interface. In response to failing to identify an issue with the IC device from the software evaluation, the first party can permanently enable open access to the debug interface while authenticated and provide the IC device to a second party. Under the direction of the second party, a hardware evaluation of the IC device is conducted via the debug interface that was permanently opened by the first party. | 08-05-2010 |

20140065918 | METHOD OF PRODUCING RAPID HEATING OF A CATHODE INSTALLED IN A THERMIONIC EMISSION ASSEMBLY - A thermionic emission assembly includes a Wehnelt cap that has a cap beam aperture and a cavity within which a cathode is supported. Electrical energy applied to the cathode causes it to reach a sufficiently high temperature to emit a beam of electrons that propagate through the cap beam aperture. An anode having an anode beam aperture is positioned in spatial alignment with the cap beam aperture to receive the electrons. The anode accelerates the electrons and directs them through the anode beam aperture for incidence on a target specimen. A ceramic base forms a combined interface that electrically and thermally separates the Wehnelt cap and the anode. The thermal isolation of the Wehnelt cap from the anode allows the Wehnelt cap to increase in heat to rapidly reach a stable temperature as the cathode emits the beam of electrons. | 03-06-2014 |
