20110100164 | Self-Pulling Corkscrew - A self-pulling corkscrew is provided. The corkscrew includes a body comprised of a first arm extending downwardly from a central portion and a second arm extending downwardly from the central portion. The first and second arms each having an inner surface and an outer surface wherein the inner surfaces of the first arm and the second arm cooperatively define a bottle receiving cavity. The corkscrew further includes a first groove traversing at least a portion of the outer surface of the first arm and a second groove traversing at least a portion of the outer surface of the second arm. One of either the first and second grooves has a first depth at a proximate end of the groove and a second depth at a distal end of the groove. The corkscrew is further comprised of a sleeve, a handgrip and a screw. The sleeve is slidably engaged with the first and second arms and has a first inwardly projecting protrusion and a second inwardly projecting protrusion. The first protrusion cooperatively engages the first groove and the second protrusion cooperatively engages the second groove. The handgrip is attached to the body proximate the central portion, and the screw is coupled to the handgrip. The screw extends into the bottle receiving cavity between the inner surfaces of the first and second arms. | 05-05-2011 |

20100061525 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED ASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE LOOP TESTING - A method and apparatus for mechanizing the currently manual ADSL loop testing process is disclosed. In one embodiment, an automated loop testing device is disclosed, where the loop testing device has a pair of terminals, e.g., RJ-11 jacks on both sides of the device. The jack on one side connects to inside wiring which, in turn, connects to an ADSL modem. The other jack connects to an outside line which, in turn, connects to a central office of a network provider. In operation, the present device detects a line voltage reversal and then disconnects the input line to the ADSL Modem. When the voltage returns to normal, then the device behaves normally by being closed, essentially acting as a pass through device and again connects the input lines to the output lines. | 03-11-2010 |

20090125155 | Method and System for Optimizing Industrial Furnaces (Boilers) through the Application of Recursive Partitioning (Decision Tree) and Similar Algorithms Applied to Historical Operational and Performance Data - A method is provided for deriving optimized operating parameter settings for industrial furnaces of different designs as commonly used in power generation that will achieve robust and desirable operations (for example, low NOx and low CO emissions while maintaining specific furnace exit gas temperatures). The method includes the application of recursive partitioning algorithms to historical process data to identify critical combinations of ranges of operational parameter (combinations of settings) that will result in robust (low-variability) desirable (optimized) boiler performance, based on empirical evidence in the historical data. The method may include the application of various algorithms for recursive partitioning of data, as well as the consecutive application of recursive partitioning methods to prediction residuals of previous models (a methodology also known as boosting), as well as the application of other prediction algorithms that rely on the partitioning of data (support vector machines, naive Bayes classifiers, k-nearest neighbor methods). | 05-14-2009 |
