20130152778	Transmission Shifting Assembly and Method - An transmission servo assembly having a dual piston assembly for use in an automobile to transmission is described. The dual piston assembly includes a primary and a secondary piston that, when included within an assembly housing, provide surfaces that may be acted upon by a pressurized fluid so as to drive a servo pin into and away from a band within the transmission. The dual piston assembly allows for the application of a high apply force to servo pin while reducing the pressure of both an apply fluid and a release fluid, and therefore the amount of power used by a fluid pump external to the transmission servo assembly. The transmission servo assembly also substantially eliminates band drag by balancing the pressure applied to surfaces of dual piston system and by providing a biasing member designed and configured to provide suitable initial and ending forces to dual piston system.	06-20-2013

20110181600	STRUCTURED ARRANGEMENT OF VISUAL ENDPOINTS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for structured arrangement of visual endpoints in diagrams. Generally, endpoint arrangements are consistently used on shapes in a domain (diagram type) based on common information flow characteristics of the domain. In addition, shape specific positioning of endpoints can be based on a shape's unique characteristics. Diagrams are more readable across an organization because diagrams have a more consistent flow structure in the form of endpoints and connections. Diagrams are also easier to construct because endpoints have predictable locations.	07-28-2011

20080272183	Apparatus for repairing or reinforcing containers - Various solutions for repairing and reinforcing containers are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide patches or reinforcing members which may be conveniently and effectively adhered to a container to improve the structural integrity thereof, protect the contents of the container, and provide an aesthetically-pleasing repair/reinforcement of the container. A substantially-planar patch may be used to repair or reinforce a surface of a container, while patches for adhering to multiple surfaces of the container may be used to repair or reinforce edges or corners. The thickness of the patch may be substantially less than that of its other dimensions to provide a low-profile repair or reinforcement, thereby reducing subsequent damage to the container caused by snagging or catching the patch on external objects. Additionally, the adhesive may bond the patch to the container to reduce separation and withstand loadings imparted to the container.	11-06-2008
