  • Patent number: 8917815
    Abstract: A grid employs dynamic and adjustable grid lines that communicates with a transmitting object and/or a receiving object. The grid lines may be but not limited to liner, crosshatched or pinwheel shaped. The grid may switch between opaque and translucent and the grid lines may target, calibrate to and track an object either transmitting or receiving. The grid may be employed as a filter or a privacy screen on a computer screen for instance. The grid lines are angled to match an angle of a user's position with respect to the grid.

  • Patent number: 8660928
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which relate to the management of asset invested in a fund. The system includes a computer connected to a network which has constantly updated fund data available to compare a current fund with a plurality of possible new funds. The system automatically transfers from one fund to another according to user predetermined criteria.

  • Patent number: 8287187
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the location of an x-ray source of an x-ray machine and adjusting grid lines in an anti-scatter grid are disclosed. An ideal beam path is obtained and is used to adjust grid lines in the anti-scatter grid. In one embodiment, the invention uses a source locator to locate the x-ray source, communicate this location to the said adjustable anti-scatter grid which could align the grid lines mechanically, by means of servos attached to the grid lines, to the ideal x-ray beam path. In other embodiment electrical currents are used to align grid lines with the beam source. By aligning the grid lines with the beam path, images with increased contrast and reduced noise can be produced.

  • Publication number: 20080037361
    Abstract: A mixer apparatus comprising a mixing chamber assembly, a mixing agitation assembly and an orifice assembly. The mixing chamber assembly includes a housing defining a cavity, an inlet providing fluid communication with the cavity and an outlet providing fluid communication with the cavity. The mixing agitation assembly includes a motor assembly, a drive shaft coupled to the motor assembly and at least one impeller coupled to the drive shaft. The at least one impeller and at least a portion of the drive shaft are positioned within the housing and are also positioned between the inlet and the outlet. The orifice assembly includes at least one orifice positioned between the inlet and the at least one impeller. Upon direction of a working fluid into the cavity through the inlet and through the at least one orifice, at least a portion of the fluid is mixed by the impeller and exhausted through the outlet.
