Trimble Navigation Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 29 -- Trimble Navigation, Sunnyvale, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,145,396) developed by Jeffrey D. Dillman, Ames, Iowa, for a "planter assembly with selectively actuated output."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An actuating system for a planting device. The actuating system has an electric motor that provides an actuating force for a seed shaft. A pneumatic acting member is connected to a source of compressed air through a valve and positioned to engage the electric motor to actuate the electric motor. The source of compressed air and electric motor can thus be connected to a controller that operates the source of compressed air and the electric motor in order to provide selective actuation to control planting of the planting device."
The patent application was filed on Jan. 5, 2011 (12/984,720). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,145,396&OS=8,145,396&RS=8,145,396

CSR Technology Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 29 -- CSR Technology, San Jose, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,144,810) developed by Steve Gronemeyer, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Robert Tso, South San Gabriel, Calif., for a "serial radio frequency to baseband interface with programmable clock."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An interface between an RF processing section and a baseband processing section supports general purpose message transmission as well as satellite positioning system signal sample transmission between the RF processing section and the baseband processing section. The interface includes a bi-directional message serial interface and a data serial interface. The complexity of the data serial interface may be minimized by using a single data bit signal line in the data serial interface."
The patent application was filed on Feb. 19, 2003 (10/369,853). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,144,810&OS=8,144,810&RS=8,144,810

Cardiac Pacemakers Assigned Patent for Neural Stimulation System for Cardiac Fat Pads
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 29 -- Cardiac Pacemakers, St. Paul, Minn., has been assigned a patent (8,145,304) developed by Julia Moffitt, Iowa City, Iowa, and Imad Libbus, St. Paul, Minn., for a "neural stimulation system for cardiac fat pads."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Various aspects relate to a device which, in various embodiments, comprises a header, a neural stimulator, a detector and a controller. The header includes at least one port to connect to at least one lead, and includes first and second channels for use to provide neural stimulation to first and second neural stimulation sites for a heart. The controller is connected to the detector and the neural stimulator to selectively deliver a therapy based on the feedback signal. A first therapy signal is delivered to the first neural stimulation site to selectively control contractility and a second therapy signal is delivered to the second neural stimulation site to selectively control one of a sinus rate and an AV conduction. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein."
The patent application was filed on July 15, 2010 (12/836,802). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,145,304&OS=8,145,304&RS=8,145,304
