20130122795 | WELDING FUME EXTRACTOR - A fume extraction hood is designed to be positioned above a welding, cutting, or other metal-working location and to remove hot gases, smoke and fumes produced during these processes. The hood forms a box-like structure with an extractor rail structure disposed in an internal volume of the hood. The extractor rail structure comprises panels that force sharp turns in the gases, causing particulate matter to drop out of the gases both outside and inside the extractor rail. A primary path for gases accelerates and re-directs the gases entering into the extractor rail, and within the rail. The rail may form a dropout tray that can be removed for cleanout of collected particulate. The side and end rails of the hood may create a secondary path for gas not directly intaken into the extractor rail. This secondary path is re-directed towards the extractor rail, where gas is collected and particulate is forced to drop out as it joins the primary path. | 05-16-2013 |

20130244555 | OPTIMIZED AIRBORNE COMPONENT EXTRACTOR - A component extractor system includes a source of a positive pressure air stream and a source of a negative pressure air stream. Conduits convey the air streams to and from a work area where one or more nozzles create a capture region and draw airborne components into the system. The system is optimized in terms of flow ratios, dimensions of the conduits and elements of the nozzle, and so forth. | 09-19-2013 |
20130244556 | AIRBORNE COMPONENT EXTRACTOR WITH IMPROVED FLOW PATHS - A component extraction system utilized a base unit that produces a positive pressure air stream and that draws a negative pressure air stream into the base unit. To enhance performance, and reduce head requirements and power consumption, a number of bends in the flow paths is minimized in the base unit. | 09-19-2013 |
20130244557 | AIRBORNE COMPONENT EXTRACTOR HOOD - An airborne component extraction system includes a source of a positive pressure air stream and a source of a negative pressure air stream. The air streams are directed through conduits to a hood that distributes the positive pressure air stream into a work area, and that draws the negative pressure air stream from the work area to remove airborne components within the work area. Aspects of the hood offer greatly enhanced performance in creating a controlled region for component removal and for drawing and removing the components for the work area. | 09-19-2013 |
20130244558 | AIRBORNE COMPONENT EXTRACTOR WITH ADJUSTABLE FLOW RATES - A extraction system is designed for metal working and other applications. The system may comprise a cart-type base or may be incorporated into a fixed or semi-fixed installation. A blower delivers a positive pressure airflow to a hood that creates an air region by directing the air through an annular space between inner and outer shrouds, impacting the air against a single generally perpendicular flange. Return air from the operation may be mixed with fresh air, both of which may be filtered, to supply the positive pressure air. Both air streams to and from the hood may be adjusted to optimize operation. Adjustments may be made at the base unit or remotely. | 09-19-2013 |
20130244559 | AIRBORNE COMPONENT EXTRACTOR MANIFOLD - An airborne component extraction system comprises a source of a positive pressure air stream and a source of a negative pressure air stream. Conduits allow the positive pressure air stream to be channeled to a work area, and the negative pressure air stream to be drawn from the work area to pull airborne components away from the work area. A manifold receives the conduits and aids in directing both air streams between the sources and the conduits. The manifold may support the conduits in the form of an arm that can be rotated while directing the air streams. | 09-19-2013 |
20130244560 | AIRBORNE COMPONENT EXTRACTOR WITH IMPROVED POWER AND PRESSURE PERFORMANCE - An airborne component extractor provides a positive pressure air stream to a work area and draws a negative pressure air stream from the work area. Conduits conduct both air streams. A movable cart-type base unit or a permanent installation may provide for the air streams. Sizes and operational parameters are selected to provide good component removal, reduce head losses, and reduce power requirements. | 09-19-2013 |
20140213164 | FUME EVACUATION SYSTEM - A fume evacuation system is designed to remove smoke, fumes, and particulate from a metal-working or other application. The system may include a cart-type base unit or may be incorporated into a fixed or semi-fixed installation that uses suction to draw air (e.g., containing smoke, fumes, and particulate) away from the metal-working application. The fume evacuation system includes a hood that creates an arduous flow path and varying velocity profile, which cools and separates any particulate matter in the suctioned air. The arduous flow path may include multiple sharp turns created by an inner deflector component and an inlet tube. The inlet tube may further contain baffles to cool particulates from the suctioned air. | 07-31-2014 |

20100008459 | Calibrating A Phase Detector And Analog-To-Digital Converter Offset And Gain - The present invention includes apparatus and methods to calibrate a phase detector and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) offset and gain. In one such embodiment, an apparatus includes a phase detector to generate an error pulse and a reference pulse, a combiner to combine the pulses, and an ADC to receive the combined pulses, where the ADC has a full scale set by an average of the reference pulse. Still further, a calibration loop may be coupled between the output of the ADC and the phase detector to generate and provide a phase adjust signal to reduce or eliminate phase offsets. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 01-14-2010 |

20140044736 | PROCOLLAGEN CARBOXY-TERMINAL PROPEPTIDES AS A TARGET AND TREATMENT FOR ANGIOGENESIS RELATED DISEASES - The present invention relates to the field of angiogenesis. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions for modulating angiogenesis. In a specific embodiment, a method for modulating a blood vessel in a subject in need thereof comprising contacting a cell of the subject with a procollagen carboxy-terminal propeptide, a biologically active fragment or mimetic thereof, thereby modulating the blood vessel. | 02-13-2014 |

20140374452 | Holsters For Concealed Carry Of A Handgun - A concealed carry holster for a small handgun is formed from a web of woven stretchable material in which one end is wrapped back around the web to form a flattened roughly conical pocket for receiving the handgun. A loop is formed at the other web end for holding the holster on a garment. In a first embodiment, adapted to be held to a bra, the web has an opposite end folded back to form stacked web layers, which are detachably secured to form the loop. In a belt supported inside the pants version of the holster, the opposite belt end is folded back and sewn to create two loops, one for the wearer's belt, the other exposed and sized to receive and hold a cell phone. | 12-25-2014 |

20130304670 | Computer-Generated Investment Index - A method for generating an investment vehicle index including selecting a universe of investment vehicles and selecting, by a computer, out of the universe of investment vehicles, only those that meet at least one performance criteria, resulting in a first subset. The method also includes selecting, by the computer, out of the first subset, investment vehicles based upon at least one characteristic of the entity associated with each investment vehicles, resulting in a second subset. The method further includes weighting, by the computer, the second subset of investment vehicles based upon their standard deviation of volatility to generate an index of volatility-weighted investment vehicles. | 11-14-2013 |
