20110296011 | SHARED HEARTBEAT SERVICE FOR MANAGED DEVICES - Systems, methods, and apparatuses for facilitating communication between remote services and applications installed on a device are described. In accordance with embodiments, each of a plurality of remote services generates an application-specific message intended for processing by a corresponding application installed on a device and transmits the application-specific message to a device management system (DMS) server, where it is queued. A DMS client installed on the device sends heartbeat messages to the DMS server indicating that the device is available to receive messages. In response to receiving the heartbeat messages, the DMS server transmits the application-specific messages to the DMS client. The DMS client then publishes each application-specific message to the particular application that the application-specific message was intended for. | 12-01-2011 |
20120170471 | AUTOMATED ACCESS POINT SELECTION TO PROVIDE COMMUNICATION NETWORK PRESENCE TO A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method of selecting an access point to provide communication network presence to a communication device.

20120055104 | Solar attic pressurizer - The invention, Solar Attic Pressurizer is a unique and simple approach to a residential energy problem. The first and main purpose for the invention is to actively move air through the attic space in the most efficient means possible. The Department of Energy through their Energy Star program have stated that traditional active attic fans, solar and conventional can draw air out of your living space into your attic and out of your house. This increased the losses in energy both in cooling and heating which not only costs more in energy but also overworks the air conditioning equipment. This invention not only ventilates the attic space but uses pressure to reduce or eliminates losses from the living space to the attic that can occur with or without an active attic ventilation system. | 03-08-2012 |

20100145279 | SELF-SUTURING CATHETER SYSTEM - An improved catheter-over-needle system having a hub including a self-suturing mechanism comprising a circular needle rotatably slidable in a circular groove in the hub. The needle is sharpened to a point at an end and preferably is also formed into a tang for use as a handle. The hub is flattened on a side to be adjacent to the skin, defining a hub flat thus truncating the groove through, for example 60° thereof. After the catheter is positioned in the blood vessel, the flat is pressed against the skin. The circular needle is rotated through an angle such that the circular needle passes through a portion of the skin, thereby “self-suturing” the hub to the skin of the patient. The hub is thus firmly attached to the patient, and no separate suturing is required. De-suturing of the catheter requires only reverse rotation of the circular needle. | 06-10-2010 |

A bias spring urges the first and second needle elements into a preferred position, preferably the closed position. Each needle member includes a lever for use in opening and closing the clip and also includes a grasping element for capturing a catheter hub as the clip closes. Preferably, the needle elements are curved through about 120°, are sharpened to a point at a first end, and are joined to a pivot element at the opposite end. No separate conventional suturing of a catheter hub to a patient is required. | 06-10-2010 |

20120255745 | Coal Fire Extinguishment Method and Apparatus - A method and apparatus for controlling and extinguishing subterranean coal fires. Suitable detection and measuring devices are initially used to determine the extent of the fire and develop a plan of extinguishment. Flow control devices are added to all the mine's access points in order to control gas flow into and/or out of the mine. In addition, new access points may be added. Gaseous carbon dioxide is pumped into the mine until a positive pressure is developed (with respect to atmospheric pressure. Pressurized and liquefied carbon dioxide is directed into the area of the combustion face. The liquid carbon dioxide blankets the combustion area with a gas which will not support combustion and absorbs a tremendous amount of heat from the burning coal. | 10-11-2012 |
20130233699 | Device and Method for Plasma-Based Structure Manipulation of Hydrocarbons and Other Substances - An apparatus and method for the manipulation of selected substances—such as long chain hydrocarbons—in order to create resulting substances having shorter chain lengths. The method also produces heat and electricity as byproducts. Significantly, the chain length reduction is accomplished without an oxidation-reduction reaction such as found in combustion. Thus, no significant amount of greenhouse gasses are produced. A hydrocarbon-containing fuel is converted into a plasma within an accelerator chamber. The plasma interacts with one or more target systems which intrude upon the flow. Electron removal devices are used to remove free electrons from the plasma, after which the fuel is decelerated and cooled. The cooled fuel contains altered molecules due to the removal of the free electrons. | 09-12-2013 |
