  • Publication number: 20090298648
    Abstract: A hydraulic vehicle clutch system and preemptive control method includes a hydraulic vehicle clutch for transferring torque from a propeller shaft to at least one rear wheel drive axle, a vehicle speed sensing device for monitoring a vehicle speed, a shift position sensing device for monitoring a shift position of a transmission shift lever, and a hydraulic pressure generating system for delivering hydraulic fluid at a desired pressure to the hydraulic vehicle clutch for selectively actuating the clutch to couple the propeller shaft and the at least one rear wheel drive axle and thereby transfer torque from the propeller shaft to the at least one rear wheel drive axle. The pressure generating system sends hydraulic fluid to the clutch with the desired pressure at a first pressure when (1) the vehicle speed sensing device indicates that the vehicle speed is at or below a threshold vehicle speed and (2) the shift position sensing device indicates that the shift position is in a nondrive position.

  • Publication number: 20090282207
    Abstract: A system and method for storing and retrieving a sparse matrix from memory of a computing device while minimizing the amount of data stored and costly jumps in memory. The computing device may be an FPGA having memory and processing elements. The method comprises storing non-zero data elements of the matrix in a data array and storing their corresponding column address values in a column index array. To read this stored data from memory, each preceding value of the column index array may be compared with each current value of the column index array to determine if the data array value corresponding with the current column index array value belongs on the next row of the matrix. The method may include pre-ordering the matrix with zero-pad placeholders or creating a row increment pointer array which typically stores fewer values than the number of rows in the matrix.

  • Publication number: 20090270894
    Abstract: A surgical cutting instrument comprises an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. The outer tubular member includes a proximal section, an intermediate section, a distal section, and a side wall. The side wall defines a central lumen extending from the proximal section to the distal section. The side wall also includes means for conducting fluid within a sidewall of the outer tubular member from the proximal section to the distal section and includes a distal opening positioned to direct fluid at the bur and a treatment site. The inner tubular member is rotatably received within the central lumen. A distal end of the inner tubular member forms a bur extending distally beyond, and exposed relative to, the distal section of the outer tubular member.

  • Publication number: 20090242495
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a rack assembly comprising a plurality of support surfaces each having a planar face, wherein the planar face of each support surfaces comes into close proximity to one another such that one or more receiving voids are formed. Within the planar face of one or more of the support surfaces there are open areas which allow for the ambient environment of the rack assembly to come into fluid communication with the receiving void formed within the rack assembly. A receiving void is designed to receive a flexible reusable substrate having a front and back essentially planar surface and to maintain said flexible reusable substrate in an equivalent planar orientation of the rack assembly such that fluid communication with the ambient environment of the rack assembly will come into direct contact with a corresponding area of a flexible reusable substrate contained therein.

  • Patent number: 7594726
    Abstract: Variable focus optical devices, in particular lenses, can include a cavity at least partially defined by a flexible member (2), which may be retained between engaging portions of a frame member (8) and a ring member (12), such that a peripheral region of the membrane is caused to change direction, more than twice. The engaging portions of the ring and frame may be high-friction surfaces. In addition, methods of filling a cavity of a lens with transparent fluid, methods of adjusting the pressure of fluid in the cavity, and methods of sealing such a cavity are described, as well the use of such lenses in adjustable spectacles.

  • Publication number: 20090237243
    Abstract: A protective case incorporates a light-activated sound chip playback system that is largely hidden beneath a liner shaped to hold a readable card. The case includes a receptacle having an opening; a lid sized to fit over the opening; a semi-rigid liner shaped to generally fill the receptacle, the liner having a storage location for a readable card, such as a gift card, credit card or smart card, the liner being formed of generally laminar material so as to leave a void between an upper interior surface of the liner and an interior bottom surface of said receptacle; and an electrochemical-cell-powered sound playback system positioned generally within the void, the sound playback system having a light-activated switch which activates sound playback when said lid is removed from said receptacle.

  • Publication number: 20090213471
    Abstract: The invention relates to a variable focus lens (10), comprising a rigid ring (22), a flexible membrane (20) attached to the front surface of the ring, a rigid transparent front cover (40), attached to the flexible membrane (50), and a rigid rear cover (20) on the rear surface of the ring (22). A cavity (60) is formed between the flexible membrane (50) and the rear cover (20), and the cavity is filled with a liquid. The amount of liquid in the cavity can be varied to vary the curvature of the flexible membrane and so vary the optical characteristics of the lens. The rear cover can be integral with the ring, or formed separately. Further, a second flexible membrane can be positioned between the rear cover and the ring. The various parts of the lens can be held together by adhesive.

  • Patent number: 7571548
    Abstract: Optimizing pedal angle for a cyclist is accomplished with a template having a central body with an aperture for positioning over the lateral condyle in a cyclist's knee. A fist alignment arm extends from the central body and incorporates an alignment indicia for positioning between the knee and hip of the cyclist. A second alignment arm extends from the central body at a predetermined angle with respect to the first alignment arm and employs an angular alignment indicia for relative placement over a malleolus bone of an ankle of the cyclist.
