U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in Ohio (May 4)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in Ohio. *** Beta LaerMike Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4 -- Beta LaerMike, Dayton, Ohio, has been assigned a patent (8,169,599) developed by Kenneth D. Krabacher, Xenia, Ohio, and Leslie M. Jenson, Blaine, Minn., for a "device and method for measuring parts." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A device and method for measuring moving material includes a processor and operating software associated therewith; a light source for emitting at least two polarized light beams in a manner wherein the beams cross thereby creating an interference region and generate a set of fringes; a sensor aligned relative to the interference region wherein the fringes have a predetermined orientation to the directional movement of the material and wherein the sensor is operably equipped to receive scattered light emanating from the interference region and provide a time varying signal to the processor such that the processor can manipulate and convert the signal to speed and distance and a polarizing filter operably associating a polarizing filter with one of the sensor and the emitting means in a manner to substantially preclude reflected polarized light from the interference region back to one of the sensor and the emitting source." The patent application was filed on July 8, 2009 (12/499,535). 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=8,169,599&OS=8,169,599&RS=8,169,599 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Kent State University, Texas A&M University System Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4 -- Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, and Texas A&M University System, College Station, Texas, have been assigned a patent (8,169,680) developed by Hanbin Mao, Kent, Ohio, Paul Luchette, Kent, Ohio, and David E. Bergbreiter, College Station, Texas, for "polymers responsive to radiation pressures." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Polymers that undergo a reversible phase change in response to being exposed to a light from a laser having a radiation pressure greater than a threshold level. The phase changeable polymers have the ability to reduce the intensity of the laser and can advantageously scatter laser light incident on the polymers. The on-off response of such polymers is in the microsecond range and the light scattering property is independent of laser wavelength. The polymers can beneficially be incorporated into devices to protect human vision and optical instruments that are vulnerable to lasers at high intensities. Methods for making and using such devices are also disclosed." The patent application was filed on Sept. 19, 2007 (11/901,916). 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=8,169,680&OS=8,169,680&RS=8,169,680 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** ViaSat Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4 -- ViaSat, Carlsbad, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,170,158) developed by four co-inventors for a "digital cross-polar interference cancellation." The co-inventors are William H. Thesling, Hudson, Ohio, Richard T. Gedney, Avon, Ohio, Matthew D. Nimon, Hinckley, Ohio, and Fan Mo, Stow, Ohio. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Cross-polar interference cancellation in a dual-polarization system is described. A terminal in a satellite communication system may receive a first communication signal in a first polarization and a second communication signal in a second polarization substantially orthogonal to the first polarization. The terminal may correlate in-phase or quadrature components of the first communication signal with in-phase or quadrature components of the second communication signal to generate one or more correlation measurements. Correction terms may be generated, using the correlation measurements, to remove at least some of the cross-polar interference." The patent application was filed on Sept. 30, 2008 (12/242,147). 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=8,170,158&OS=8,170,158&RS=8,170,158 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi. *** Rockwell Automation Technologies Assigned Patent for Sight-line Non Contact Coupled Wireless Technology ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4 -- Rockwell Automation Technologies, Mayfield Hts., Ohio, has been assigned a patent (8,169,302) developed by Jerry L. Penick, Shaker Heights, Ohio, and Gregg M. Sichner, Mentor, Ohio, for a "sight-line non contact coupled wireless technology." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Control systems and methods are disclosed for controlling operation of movable systems in an automated process with a stationary system having a first control system component and at least one movable system having a second control system component, in which optical or other non-contacting signaling between the stationary and movable systems is used to ascertain whether a movable system is proximate the stationary system, and wireless communications is used to transfer control data between the systems while the non-contacting signal link is maintained." The patent application was filed on Sept. 8, 2011 (13/227,540). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft1.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=8,169,302.PN.&OS=PN/8,169,302&RS=PN/8,169,302 Written by Shabnam Sheikh; edited by Jaya Anand.
