20150066156 | ROBUST SWING LEG CONTROLLER UNDER LARGE DISTURBANCES - Local swing leg control was developed that takes advantage of segment interactions to achieve robust leg placement under large disturbances while generating trajectories and joint torque patterns similar to those observed in human walking and running. The results suggest the identified control as a powerful alternative to existing swing leg controls in humanoid and rehabilitation robotics. Alternatively, a detailed neuromuscular model of the human swing leg was developed to embody the control with local muscle reflexes. The resulting reflex control robustly places the swing leg into a wide range of landing points observed in human walking and running, and it generates similar patterns of joint torques and muscle activations. The results suggest an alternative to existing swing leg controls in humanoid and rehabilitation robotics which does not require central processing. | 03-05-2015 |

20090102252 | Cycle seat with adjustable sides - The cycle seat with adjustable sides includes a base plate having a forward and optionally a rearward guide plate thereon. Each guide plate includes laterally adjustable left and right arm extensions, with each arm having a generally vertical wing extending upwardly therefrom. The arms of each pair simultaneously adjust inwardly and outwardly opposite one another, permitting a single adjustment to adjust both wings of a set equally. Each wing pair includes a latch mechanism, which is adjustable as the cyclist rides the cycle. The seat may be installed per se upon a bicycle or other cycle, or may be installed in combination with a longitudinal and/or arcuate and vertical adjustment mechanism for the seat. The cycle seat greatly reduces or eliminates the need for a pommel, while assuring that the seat remains in contact with the hips and/or thighs of the cyclist at all times to assure more complete control. | 04-23-2009 |
20100187873 | Cycle seat with adjustable sides - The cycle seat with adjustable sides includes laterally adjustable side wings for increased rider stability. The seat is mounted on arcuately articulating arms that pivot from the lower forward frame of the cycle. The arms are biased upwardly by a spring, thus urging the seat into contact with the rider. A latch mechanism allows the rider to latch the seat position in a lower range for normal riding, or to latch the seat in a higher range to support the rider as he or she stands on the pedals to exert greater force during acceleration or uphill riding. The greater support provided by the raised seat and articulating support mechanism during such riding greatly reduces the amount of upper body exertion the rider would otherwise need to stabilize him or herself using the cycle handlebars, thus freeing the rider to exert greater pedal force during such extreme cycling operations. | 07-29-2010 |

20090102252 | Cycle seat with adjustable sides - The cycle seat with adjustable sides includes a base plate having a forward and optionally a rearward guide plate thereon. Each guide plate includes laterally adjustable left and right arm extensions, with each arm having a generally vertical wing extending upwardly therefrom. The arms of each pair simultaneously adjust inwardly and outwardly opposite one another, permitting a single adjustment to adjust both wings of a set equally. Each wing pair includes a latch mechanism, which is adjustable as the cyclist rides the cycle. The seat may be installed per se upon a bicycle or other cycle, or may be installed in combination with a longitudinal and/or arcuate and vertical adjustment mechanism for the seat. The cycle seat greatly reduces or eliminates the need for a pommel, while assuring that the seat remains in contact with the hips and/or thighs of the cyclist at all times to assure more complete control. | 04-23-2009 |
20100187873 | Cycle seat with adjustable sides - The cycle seat with adjustable sides includes laterally adjustable side wings for increased rider stability. The seat is mounted on arcuately articulating arms that pivot from the lower forward frame of the cycle. The arms are biased upwardly by a spring, thus urging the seat into contact with the rider. A latch mechanism allows the rider to latch the seat position in a lower range for normal riding, or to latch the seat in a higher range to support the rider as he or she stands on the pedals to exert greater force during acceleration or uphill riding. The greater support provided by the raised seat and articulating support mechanism during such riding greatly reduces the amount of upper body exertion the rider would otherwise need to stabilize him or herself using the cycle handlebars, thus freeing the rider to exert greater pedal force during such extreme cycling operations. | 07-29-2010 |

20150363744 | TRACKING CHANGES IN RESUMES TO IDENTIFY PERSONS INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING A NEW POSITION - A method, system, and computer program product for identifying persons who may be interested in acquiring a new position by tracking changes in their resumes. The present invention provides an efficient method to both prevent employee attrition and to signal to potential future employers that the person may become available soon. In general, the invention works by crawling a resume source for resumes, determining the resume owner, associating owner contact information, and tracking changes made to the resumes. If a resume is changed within a certain time period above a certain threshold activity level, then the resume owner is identified as being interested in acquiring a new position. Multiple different resumes from multiple different resume sources can also be mapped to a single owner to provide an aggregate actual resume in which changes can be tracked and used to identify employees interested in acquiring a new position. | 12-17-2015 |

20100096301 | CLEANING AND SEPARATION SYSTEM FOR TUBERS - An entire harvested ground fruit load is subjected to a first cleaning process on a cleaning table, which separates the smaller ground fruits, soil, stones, clods, vine stems, grasses and other debris from the larger ground fruits. The fall-through burden from the cleaning table is subsequently subjected to a second separation step using a pintle belt conveyor equipped with at least one spinning shear roller. Soil particles, stones, clods, vine stems, grasses and other debris fall between the pintles of the pintle belt conveyor and are discarded, while small ground fruits are moved by the spinning shear roller(s) and either recombined with the main ground fruit load or diverted to a separate path for storage. Operational speed of the pintle belt conveyor and rotational speed of the shear rollers can be adjusted to maximize the breakup of clods which impact the shear roller(s). | 04-22-2010 |
