20110047955 | PNEUMATIC FRUIT DECELERATOR APPARATUS AND METHOD - A decelerator apparatus for mounting at the end of a pneumatic fruit harvesting or delivery tube. The decelerator comprises a housing with a moving decelerator body aligned with a fruit-receiving inlet connected to the pneumatic delivery tube. The decelerator body, for example a padded rotating wheel, moves at a speed slower than the speed at which the fruit is pneumatically delivered into the housing, and further defines a compressive deceleration path that moves the fruit in a compressive but protective fit toward a housing exit, releasing the fruit after the fruit has been decelerated to the speed of the moving body. | 03-03-2011 |
20130091821 | PNEUMATIC FRUIT DECELERATOR BODY - A decelerator apparatus for mounting at the end of a pneumatic or gravity-fed fruit harvesting or delivery tube. The decelerator comprises a housing with a moving decelerator body aligned with a fruit-receiving inlet connected to the delivery tube. The decelerator body, for example a padded rotating wheel, moves at a speed slower than the speed at which the fruit is delivered into the housing, includes multiple depressions or indentations for receiving and separating fruit, and further defines a compressive deceleration path that moves the fruit in a compressive but protective fit toward a housing exit, releasing the fruit after the fruit has been decelerated to the speed of the moving body. | 04-18-2013 |

20110046817 | Incremental Position-Based Guidance For A UAV - Disclosed herein is a method and system for flying a ducted-fan aerial vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method includes receiving a flight plan comprising a plurality of waypoints and a plurality of path segments connecting the plurality of waypoints in an order of execution. The method further includes determining actual flight instructions for the ducted fan unmanned aerial vehicle based on (i) the received flight plan, (ii) a predetermined set of operating parameters associated with the ducted fan unmanned aerial vehicle, and (iii) an iterative analysis of a plurality of ordered triples. The method further includes sending the actual flight instructions to at least one processor of the ducted fan unmanned aerial vehicle configured to implement one or more portions of the actual flight instructions. | 02-24-2011 |

20100074797 | PROCESS FOR PASTEURIZING CHICKEN LITTER - This process comprises aerating chicken litter into a first windrow and aerating a second time into a second windrow. Each of the windrows are permitted to achieve a temperature of approximately 130° F. internally. The litter is then spread to completely cover the entire area and a second set of chickens is placed on the litter. The more aeration times that the windrow is made the more the litter is pasteurized and the pathogens and beetles are removed. | 03-25-2010 |

20110122142 | CONTENT PRESENTATION PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods for protecting display presentation information are presented. In one embodiment, graphics processing method includes receiving presentation information; performing an unauthorized display protection process; and forwarding result of the alteration in the presentation information. In one exemplary implementation the unauthorized display protection process introduces a characteristic in the graphics data signal that is compatible with an authorized display (e.g., trusted display, internal display, etc.) while distorting the graphics data signal in a manner that is not compatible with accurate presentation by an unauthorized display (e.g., untrusted display, external display, etc.). It is appreciated that a variety of characteristics that can be introduced or altered in the presentation information signal. In one embodiment, alterations are made to standard control signals (e.g., stuffing begin/end indications, blank start/end indications, reset indicators, etc.) and the alterations can create new or non-standard indications (e.g., value, character, pattern, etc.). | 05-26-2011 |
