Jack Jumper Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 2 -- Jack Jumper, McHenry, Ill., has been assigned a patent (8,300,382) developed by William R. True, McHenry, Ill., Richard R. Todd, Lemont, Ill., and Sharon C. Huber, McHenry, Ill., for a "portable transformer with safety interlock."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A portable apparatus for voltage transformation is capable of temporarily augmenting a power transformer. A transformer with a first medium voltage primary winding, a second medium voltage primary winding and a low voltage secondary winding is selectably coupled to a plurality of medium voltage electrical power input couplings capable of temporarily coupling with medium voltage power on a plant. An interlocked switch selectably couples the medium voltage electrical power input couplings to the medium voltage primary windings of the transformer such that only one medium voltage primary winding of the transformer is coupled at a time to the medium voltage electrical power input couplings. The interlocked switch can use a captive key system to prevent more than one secondary winding from being simultaneously connected. Medium voltage circuit protection devices such as fuses are included. A low voltage circuit protection device, operatively coupled to the low voltage secondary windings, provides low voltage power. An interlocked couplings door lockably covers the medium voltage electrical power input couplings and a fuse door lockably covers the fuses such that no door can be unlocked when a medium voltage primary winding of the transformer is coupled to the medium voltage electrical power input couplings. The portable apparatus can be carried on a vehicular trailer."
The patent application was filed on Jan. 30, 2010 (12/697,230). 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=8,300,382&OS=8,300,382&RS=8,300,382

These are transmitted over a shared radio channel. A radio receiver (101) receives processed (e.g. compressed) video signals from the base station or another camera device. Images from the camera or the base station are displayed in a selected manner on a display or monitor (140). The base station device (20) receives processed (e.g. compressed) video signals, stores them and retransmits them. A command signal is received by the radio receiver to modify operation in such a manner as to control bandwidth usage. Wireless camera devices can adjust their operation to accommodate other wireless camera devices. Different transport protocol modules 230 and 240 can be selected according to the application that the user selects for operation."

University of Illinois Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 2 -- The University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill., has been assigned a patent (8,300,228) developed by Daniel L. Marks, Chapel Hill, N.C., Joseph B. Geddes III, Champaign, Ill., and Stephen A. Boppart, Champaign, Ill., for a "matched pulse stimulated raman scattering."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Methods and apparatus for selectively driving the vibrations of normal modes of a target molecule into coherence using stimulated Raman scattering. In concert, many vibrations produce a larger anti-Stokes signal than a single vibration. The same illumination does not drive other molecules to have coherent vibrations, so these molecules produce a weaker signal. Target and confounder molecules can be distinguished by pulses that drive many vibrations coherently, with applications in coherent Raman microspectroscopy."
The patent application was filed on Oct. 20, 2009 (12/582,168). 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=8,300,228&OS=8,300,228&RS=8,300,228

Hamilton Sundstrand Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 2 -- Hamilton Sundstrand, Rockford, Ill., has been assigned a patent (8,299,762) developed by Gregory I. Rozman, Rockford, Ill., and Matthew L. Wilhide, Cherry Valley, Ill., for a "starting/generating system with multi-functional circuit breaker."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A pre-charge circuit limits in-rush currents on a direct current (DC) link that includes a first DC link bus and a second DC link bus. The pre-charge circuit includes a switching device connected in series with the first DC link bus. The switching device has an ON state in which power flow is enabled on the DC link and an OFF state in which power is disabled on the DC link. A controller selectively modulates the state of the switching device to limit in-rush currents on the DC link."
The patent application was filed on June 5, 2009 (12/479,211). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,299,762.PN.&OS=PN/8,299,762&RS=PN/8,299,762

Hamilton Sundstrand Assigned Patent for Rim Driven Thruster having Transverse Flux Motor
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 2 -- Hamilton Sundstrand, Windsor Locks, Conn., has been assigned a patent (8,299,669) developed by Jacek F. Gieras, Glastonbury, Conn., and Gregory I. Rozman, Rockford, Ill., for a "Rim driven thruster having transverse flux motor."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A rim driven thruster comprises an annular housing, a propulsor assembly, a magnetic rotor assembly and a transverse flux stator assembly. The annular housing defines a flow path extending along an axis. The propulsor assembly is supported within the housing and comprises propeller blades extending radially from the axis of the flow path. The propeller blades are configured to rotate about the axis. The magnetic rotor assembly is mounted to radially outer ends of the propeller blades. The transverse flux stator assembly is mounted to the annular housing and is configured to provide electromagnetic torque to the magnetic rotor assembly."
The patent application was filed on Oct. 18, 2010 (12/906,825). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,299,669.PN.&OS=PN/8,299,669&RS=PN/8,299,669

The co-inventors are Paul B. Allard, Stevensville, Mich., Robert Ryan Bradley, Granger, Ind., James W. Kendall, Mount Prospect, Ill., Steven J. Kuehl, Stevensville, Mich., Douglas D. LeClear, Benton Harbor, Mich., Alan S. Lucas, Evansville, Ind., Andrew M. Tenbarge, Saint Joseph, Mich., John J. Vonderhaar, Saint Joseph, Mich., and Guolian Wu, Saint Joseph, Mich.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A refrigerator module connection system for connecting a feature module to a utility source and transferring a plurality of utilities between the feature module and the utility source. The feature module connection system includes a utility source that has a connection capable of removably engaging the feature module to the utility source. Also included is at least one feature module that independently supplies one or more functionalities. Further included is an interface between the utility source and the feature module, where the interface includes a detection and recognition device, such as a reed switch, a DIP switch, or a comparator circuit, that operates to detect when the feature module is connected to the utility source. One or more predetermined utilities are transferred between the utility source and the feature module based upon which feature module is connected to the utility source."
The patent application was filed on Aug. 12, 2009 (12/539,651). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,299,656.PN.&OS=PN/8,299,656&RS=PN/8,299,656
