20150101325 | RECONFIGURABLE SKIN SYSTEM BASED ON SPATIALLY TARGETED ACTIVATION OF SHAPE MEMORY POLYMERS - Reconfigurable skin systems may include a multi-cellular structure, in which individual cells are filled with a shape memory polymer having conductive chains of conductive particles embedded or dispersed therein. The systems are configured such that application of a stimulus to selected cells causes the shape memory polymer to undergo a phase change in the selected cells and impart a textured surface to one side of the multi-cellular structure. | 04-16-2015 |

20090249856 | CUP-SHAPED MEMBER FORMING APPARATUS - A method and apparatus for forming cup-shaped members used in conjunction with a single-acting or a double-acting press having an outer punch assembly, an inner punch assembly and a base. A draw pad and a cutting edge are carried on the outer punch assembly, a draw horn is carried on the inner punch assembly and a blank and draw die is carried on the base. The draw pad and the draw horn oppose the blank and draw die such that the draw pad clampingly engages the blank and draw die in order to exert a clamping pressure on the pressure piston system having first and second pistons vertically stacked with respect to one another. The pressure piston system includes a damping member located within the pressure piston system for continuously increasing the clamping pressure during advancement of the outer punch assembly toward the base of the press. | 10-08-2009 |

20150300868 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR FUEL LEVEL SENSING - Apparatuses and methods for fuel level sensing use a rotatable housing, an interior arm suspended on an axle within the housing, a counterweight joined to one end of the interior arm and a position sensor with first and second sensor elements. The sensor elements are arranged within the housing with one of the sensor elements is joined to an interior wall of the housing and the other joined to the interior arm such that the sensor elements are rotatable relative to one another. An exterior arm joined to an exterior of the housing is adapted to accommodate a float. The exterior arm slaves the rotatable housing in rotation about a rotational axis, and relative rotation of the first and second sensor elements may cause a change in a sensor output of the position sensor. | 10-22-2015 |

20100076997 | GENERATION OF HOME NETWORK USE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON COLLECTED METADATA OF PRIOR CONNECTED ITEMS - Particular embodiments provide home network use recommendations to a user. The home network use recommendations may involve recommendations on items, which may include devices, applications, and/or services. When users connect an item (e.g., a device) to a home network, information associated with the item may be received. Metadata for the information is generated that describes the information. The metadata may be stored in storage in a user profile for the user. The user profile may then be analyzed to determine home network use recommendations. For example, recommendations may be how to use or configure the home network. | 03-25-2010 |
