20090249125 | DATABASE QUERYING - Data stored in relational databases can be retrieved using a relational database query language, while data stored in a multidimensional database is typically retrieved using a multidimensional database query language. However, most users do not have a functional working knowledge of multidimensional database query languages, which leaves large amounts of data inaccessible. Further, while some relational database query languages may be translated into a multidimensional database language, the information generated by such translations is often unusable, or returns large numbers of errors. In order to obtain effective translation of a relational database query language to a multidimensional database query language effective translation and filtering needs to occur. Using effective mapping and retrieval of database metadata along with effective, customizable business logic filtering of query components, more effective and reliable results may be achieved. | 10-01-2009 |

20150053062 | Interchangeable Mouthpieces for Brass Instruments - Musicians skilled in the specialization of brasswind instruments often desire to work out the facial muscles in preparation for a wide range of tonal registries. Most mouthpieces for particular brasswind instruments come in a very small variation of diameters and cup depths. This limitation creates problems when looking to improve higher tone or lower tone ranges. Presently, the musician must try to modify a mouthpiece from an entirely different instrument to satisfy this need. This invention focuses on keeping the shank standardized to couple with the matching instrument while allowing the user to change the cup portion of the mouthpiece to differing sizes and depths. This design enables the user to work a much wider range of tonal registers with the simplicity of a threaded connection between the shank and the cup. | 02-26-2015 |

20120033801 | Wireless Priority Service within a Distributed Call Processing Architecture - A system, method, and call processing component for controlling an order of call processing among a plurality of call processing components. Each call processing component, upon receiving a call request when system resources are not available to process the requested call, creates a real queue entry in its call processing queue and sends a call-queued notification to all other call processing components in the system. The other call processing components in the telecommunication system then create a shadow queue entry in their respective call processing queues as a placeholder for the requested call. When system resources become available and the requested call is next in the queue, the call processing component that received the request de-queues and processes the requested call, and sends a call de-queued notification to the other call processing components. In response, each of the other call processing components removes the placeholder queue entry for the requested call from each call processing component's call processing queue. | 02-09-2012 |

20160033166 | THERMAL RECOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - An apparatus comprises a subcooler, such as a vented tube/plate or tube on tube heat exchanger, and a pre-cooler and/or post-heater, which may be a vented tube/plate or tube on tube heat exchanger. The subcooler and pre-cooler and/or post-heater are connected in fluid communication with each other (in series) and with a refrigerant output and input of a condenser. For example, the refrigerant output goes into the subcooler, and the refrigerant input comes out of the precooler and/or post-heater. A working fluid (e.g. coolant), such as water or glycol or other working fluid, is forced, such as by pumping, first through the subcooler and then through the precooler and/or post-heater. Flow rate of the working fluid through the apparatus may be regulated such that the refrigerant is first subcooled to an incoming fluid's temperature and then to pre-cool the refrigerant to approximately its saturated-vapor state, when the system is operating to provide a refrigeration effect. Heat absorbed by the working fluid using the method may heat a potable hot water system or as a secondary heat source. | 02-04-2016 |

20120261102 | Thermosyphon Heat Recovery - A thermosyphonic heat recovery unit for thermosyphonic heat transfer of heat from a hotter first fluid to a cooler second fluid comprising a heat exchanger including a first fluid conduit and a second fluid conduit, optimized means for connecting fluids to the two conduits to optimize heat transfer and fluid flow, a pressurized cold fluid input and hot fluid output, whereby the second fluid thermosyphonically flows through said second conduit as the first fluid flows through said first conduit. Said system having an optimized heat exchanger tube-on tube spirally wound, with wind direction to take advantage of the Coriolus force effect, for optimized refrigerant and other fluid turbulence and therefore optimized heat transfer, and optimum location of said heat exchanger and sizes of connecting tubes to minimize refrigerant friction related pressure loss, and to optimize heat transfer, refrigerant flow and thermosyphonic second fluid flow through said heat exchanger. | 10-18-2012 |

20100224842 | LANDING JACK LIFT - A landing jack lift has an upright lever portion which is pivotally attached to a base plate. A lifting arm is pivotally connected to the upright along the lower portion of the upright lever. A lifting plate is pivotally disposed on an end of the lifting arm and removably fits under a landing jack foot while in use. A pin pulling arm is pivotally disposed above the lifting arm on the upright lever portion and selectively retains the locking pin on the landing jack to allow the landing jack to move. The lifting arm is constrained to not pivot past around 90 degrees from the upright lever. In use the user is not required to bend over while raising and lowering the landing jack. A handle is provided on the upper portion of the upright lever to aid the user. | 09-09-2010 |

20080264941 | Safety Pressure Cap - A safety radiator cap has a centrally located pressure plunger that forces pins outward against the inside of a radiator fill tube to prevent opening of the cap when the system is under pressure. As the liquid cools, the pressure is reduced and the pins retract due to biasing springs which allow the cap to be removed thus ensuring that the cap can only be removed when safe. Pressure pads at the end of the pins allow an embodiment of the invention to be used in any vehicle without retrofitting. | 10-30-2008 |
20090145349 | Fluid Flow Indicator - A fluid flow indicator consists of a flow chamber having a freely spinning flow rate indictor that rotates in response to fluid flow and rotates in proportion to the rate of flow. A visible indicator allows a medical practitioner to carefully control the flow rate even though the fluid flow is smooth without other visible signs of movement. In one embodiment a plurality of flow holes are provided in the fluid chamber to direct the fluid around the fluid flow indicator rotor causing the rotor to rotate in proportion to the rate of fluid flow. Another embodiment provides a flow opening to direct the fluid past the rotor. The fluid chamber is provided with a connecting nipple on either end to connect the flow indicator with a fluid delivery system. | 06-11-2009 |
