20120026307	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT OF CURING ENERGY DELIVERED DURING SIMULATED DENTAL RESTORATIONS - A system and method for real-time measurement of curing energy delivered to a simulated dental restoration from a source of curing energy. The system comprises a detector and a display. The detector measures at a location within the simulated dental restoration the amount of curing energy delivered by the curing energy source. The display displays the measured amount of curing energy in real-time. The system also comprises a temperature detector to measure temperature changes in the oral tissues during curing (teeth and gums). The system also comprises a video camera to record the operator's curing technique.	02-02-2012

20150084310	UNIVERSAL FIFTH WHEEL PLATE COVER AND METHOD - An improved universal greaseless fifth wheel plate cover and method of installation are disclosed. The fifth wheel plate cover can be retrofitted to almost every existing conventional (greased) fifth wheel, or it could optionally be manufactured into new fifth wheels. The disclosed device comprises a slip plate, which preferably is comprised of a pair of mirror-imaged slip plate members, a plurality of tie down plates, and at least two ramp plate members. The slip plate(s) contain recessed pockets with a plurality of slip plate holes for receiving the plurality of tie down plates. Each tie down plate contains a plurality of corresponding tie down plate holes with sloped edges for contacting a fifth wheel top surface at a distance removed from the bottom edge of the slip plate, thereby ensuring that a weld to fixedly attach the tie down plate to the fifth wheel top surface does not compromise the integrity of the slip plate upon installation.	03-26-2015

20140273987	Challenge Response System to Detect Automated Communications - Systems and methods associated with providing a challenge response test on a client device are provided. The systems and methods include receiving at the client device, a communication initiated at the sender device. The client device determines whether the communication should be challenged. The client device transmits a challenge to the sender device. The client device receives a response to the challenge indicative of whether the incoming communication from the sender device is from a safe sender. The response is analyzed to determine whether the incoming communication is from a safe sender.	09-18-2014

20130039728	Refuse Collection Vehicle With Telescoping Arm - A refuse collection vehicle has a container collection arm with a telescoping boom coupled with a refuse stowage unit of the vehicle. A grasping mechanism is coupled with an end of the boom. A rotary actuator couples the grasping mechanism with the boom to enable a waste container to be moved between a pick up position and a dump position.	02-14-2013
20130285401	Grabber - A grabber assembly has a base to secure with the refuse collection device. A pair of arms is pivotally coupled with the base. The pair of arms moves between a grasping position and a release position. Belts are coupled with the arms. The belts contact the refuse container in the grasping position. A tensioning device tensions the belts to provide a variable force rate to tension the belts.	10-31-2013

20130329900	AUDIO SIGNAL DISTORTION USING A SECONDARY AUDIO SIGNAL FOR ENHANCED CONTROL OF PSYCHO-ACOUSTIC AND MUSICAL EFFECTS - A distorter is provided that allows a musician/sound engineer to affect the operation of a distortion circuit using a second musical instrument or a sound modifier, enabling the musician/audio engineer to vary the behavior of the distorter in real time. The invention enables a musician and/or sound engineer to achieve sounds and effects that are impossible to create using conventional distorters. The invention enables a user to provide a primary audio signal representing a musical instrument that is to undergo audio signal distortion; and to provide a secondary audio signal representing a sound modifier or a second musical instrument that is used to modify psycho-acoustic and/or musical effects of the audio signal distortion. An output signal is produced having substantially non-clipped parts for conveying the sound of the musical instrument, and having clipped parts for conveying psycho-acoustic and/or musical effects responsive to the second musical instrument or the sound modifier.	12-12-2013
