20100068049 | FEATURES TO PROPERLY ORIENT INLET GUIDE VANES - Several physical features on an inlet guide vane (IGV) ensure proper orientation of the IGV within a compressor during assembly. A gear with several teeth removed results in a flat surface on the gear which inhibits the gear from rotating on the rack of the compressor inlet casing. An orientation pin is located in the internal bore of the gear. The cylindrical IGV spindle has a portion formed as a flat surface and the orientation pin engages this flat surface. These features are applicable to both a one-piece IGV where the jackshaft is integrated with the IGV stem and a two-piece IGV in which the jackshaft is separate from the IGV stem. A feature applicable to a two-piece IGV is a shaped boss on the IGV stem that allows the jackshaft to be located on the IGV stem in only one orientation. | 03-18-2010 |

The current application state of the set of computing devices can be automatically adjusted to lessen the determined difference. | 02-18-2010 |

20100086509 | Self-Heating Shaving Compositions - Non-pressurized shaving compositions are described that provide a warm/hot sensation during use as the result of an exothermic redox reaction. The compositions are post-foaming via nascent gas release in situ due to the generation of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide induced foam is maintained for several minutes after the compositions are dispensed, whereby the compositions are capable of providing both a warm sensation and sustained lather, a balance which heretofore has been a significant challenge. | 04-08-2010 |

20110235678 | LEADLESS MEDIA PROTECTED FAST RESPONSE RTD SENSOR AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - The RTD device of the present invention is comprised of a semiconductor substrate and a substantially thin conductive metal layer disposed upon the semiconductor substrate, wherein the conductive metal has a substantially linear temperature-resistance relationship. The conductive layer is etched into a convoluted RTD pattern, which consequently increases the overall resistance and minimizes the overall mass of the RTD assembly. A contact glass cover and a conductive metal-glass frit are placed over the RTD assembly to hermetically seal the RTD. The resultant structure can be “upside-down” mounted onto a header or a flat shim so that the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate is exposed to the external environment, thus shielding the RTD from external forces. The resultant structure is a low mass, highly conductive, leadless, and hermetically sealed RTD that accurately measures the temperature of liquids and gases and maintains fast response time in high temperatures and harsh environments. | 09-29-2011 |
20130287956 | Methods of fabricating large-area Graphene - A method for fabricating large-area, high-quality Graphene product. Specifically, the fabrication method uses a seed layer of exfoliated Graphene in combination with a substrate and a catalyst metal layer and introduces Carbon atoms to the Graphene seed, causing growth of high-quality Graphene product. The method of the invention combines some steps of current mechanical exfoliation techniques with other steps of the CVD process and adds a new technique to the fabrication method involving seed-based catalyst of large-area Graphene product growth. | 10-31-2013 |
