20140106232 | NANOSCALE THREE-DIMENSIONAL BATTERY ARCHITECTURE - A three-dimensional nanobattery formed by individually wiring nanostructured electrodes and combining them with an electrolyte. Short, capped nanotubes termed ‘nanobaskets’ are formed by sputtering coating onto nanoporous templates. Metallic nanowires are grown by electrochemical deposition from the nanobaskets and through the template, making electrical contact with each nanobasket electrode. The same procedure can be used to fabricate both a battery anode and a battery cathode. A thin layer of electrolyte is placed between the two nanobasket electrodes, and electrical contact is made through the nanowires. | 04-17-2014 |
20140351245 | SEARCH ENGINE SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING WAVE EQUATIONS FOR CLASSIFYING AND RANKING SEARCH RESULTS - An internet search system and method made according to this invention provides a rating/ranking for internet search results that emphasizes the discovery and curation of new content by publishers. Time-stamped internet search data is sorted and classified by detecting peaks and troughs in that data and describing them with one or more wave equations. The data is then classified into ripples according to the peak or trough in which it appears. Each search result may also be scored as a function of the detected peak in which it appears and the number of other search results within the same peak. The search system and method make these classifications and scores visible to the user by displaying them in textual, visual, or textual and visual form. | 11-27-2014 |

20140349752 | INTEGRATED DIGITAL PLAY SYSTEM - An integrated digital play system made according to the present invention provides a multi media, digitally integrated play environment that incorporates mobile device content and web based content which interacts with physically installed tags. The system includes means for identifying a fixed physical structure within a first play system; means for detecting a physical movement of a user relative to the fixed physical structure; a first computer means for combining the physical structure identification data and the user physical movement data to generate one or more motion points; and a second computer means for providing a virtual embodiment of the one or more motion points within a second play system. Because the first and second play systems are different play systems, the second play system does not require certain corresponding user motions in the first play system in order to perform in or progress through the second play system. | 11-27-2014 |

20110271704 | SEDIMENT TRAP SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods for condensate removal are disclosed. A reservoir may include a trap structure and a sediment trap may be disposed within the trap structure.

20110272043 | CONDENSATE REMOVAL SYSTEM AND METHOD - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus for handling a fluid is provided. The apparatus comprising a reservoir having a basin which receives the fluid and at least a first port through which the fluid is evacuated; a pump housing including a fluid pump; a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the fluid in the reservoir through the first port of the reservoir and in fluid communication with the fluid pump; at least one sensor which provides an indication of a height of the fluid in the reservoir; and a conduit with a first aperture and a second aperture therethrough, wherein the reservoir and the pump housing are external to the conduit. | 11-10-2011 |

20150101289 | LOOSE FILL FIRE-PROTECTIVE PACKING MEDIA - A loose fill packing media that can be used to protect packed items from heat and flame or to contain combustion and heat generated by a packed item comprises a plurality of foam cores formed from a cured thermoset resin coated with a layer of an intumescent material. The foam may be formed by mixing a thermoset resin with micro-balloons and a heat absorbing phase change material, adding a catalyst and shaping the mixture into pellets, curing the shaped pellets and then coating the pellets with the intumescent material. The pellets flow freely at room temperature to facilitate pouring into a box around a package to be protected. If the temperature becomes sufficiently elevated, the intumescent material foams and then chars holding the pellets together. The layer of pellets significantly impedes heat transfer to or from the package surrounded by the pellets. | 04-16-2015 |

20100003637 | Dental File with Improved Tip Configuration - A dental instrument for cleaning and shaping a root canal of a tooth includes a working portion having three helical flutes and a guide tip with a first, second, and third face surface. A portion of the guide tip is removed so that each of the first and second surfaces are contiguous to a lateral surface of a conical-shaped envelope defining the original tip but a portion of the third surface is not contiguous to a lateral surface of the conical-shaped envelope. The intersection of the first and second surfaces, however, remains at the center point of the guide tip. The removed portion of the guide tip may result in an arcuate-shaped face surface, an angular-shaped face surface, or some combination of the two. | 01-07-2010 |
20100040994 | Reciprocal Reverse Rotation Endodontic File - A single use, reciprocal reverse rotation, endodontic file includes a plurality of spaced apart helical flutes with spiraled lands therebetween. The lands have an edge with a positive cutting angle when the file is rotated in one direction and a scraping angle when rotated in the opposite direction. The file provides for sequential rotation of a selected angle in a forward direction followed by rotation of a slightly less angle in a reverse direction. In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the flutes is concave polygonal-shaped at a proximal end of the file and square-shaped at the distal end. In another embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the flutes is convex arcuate-shaped, the lands lying normal to the central longitudinal axis of the file. The handle portion of the file may be configured for use in a rotary handpiece or for manual rotation. | 02-18-2010 |
20100129778 | Methods for disenfecting and removing smear layer from tooth surfaces - Methods for disinfecting and removing smear layer from prepared tooth surfaces are provided. The methods involve irrigating the tooth surface with a disinfectant solution containing doxycycline or tetracycline, a surfactant such as polysorbate, and organic acid such as citric acid. The methods can be used in various dental treatments including, for example, endodontic and periodontic procedures as well as tooth restoration and reconstruction. | 05-27-2010 |

20120231414 | Fatigue-Resistant Nitinol Instrument - A fatigue-resistant Nitinol instrument has a working portion in the deformed monoclinic martensitic state and an austenite finish temperature in the range of 40° to 60° C. Because the operating environment of the instrument is about 37° C., the working portion remains in the monoclinic martensitic state during its use. The relatively high austenite finish temperature and fatigue resistance is achieved by subjecting the nickel-titanium alloy to a final thermal heat treat in a temperature range of about 410° to 440° C. while the nickel-titanium alloy is under constant strain of about 3 to 15 kg. Further, the high austenite finish temperature is achieved without subjecting the alloy to thermal cycling to produce shape memory. Additionally, there are no intermediate processing steps occurring between obtaining a finished diameter of the wire or blank through cold working and the final thermal heat treat under constant strain. | 09-13-2012 |
20130189644 | Multi-Planar Pre-Curved Rotary Endodontic File - An improved rotary endodontic file includes a multi-planar pre-curved apical portion having a first and a second curvature. The pre-curved apical portion begins at about one-third to one-quarter of the working length as measured from the tip end of the endodontic instrument. The first and second curvature permit the file to continually search and engage the walls of a tooth root canal in a forced inside-forced outside manner. As the file works its way down, it breaks free of any ledges encountered, probes lateral- and delta-type openings, and does not allow the file to stray from the curvature of the canal. | 07-25-2013 |
20130263700 | Longitudinally Ground File Having Increased Resistance To Torsional and Cyclic Fatigue Failure - A method of producing an endodontic file that involves grinding in a plane substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of a rotating dental instrument blank. By grinding the dental instrument blank in this manner, the torsional strength of the resulting endodontic file is not eroded during its production, thereby providing a file that is less susceptible to breakage during its use. | 10-10-2013 |
