Did You Know...
...that the Band-Aid Bandage was invented by a Johnson & Johnson employee whose wife had cut herself? Earl Dickson's wife was rather accident prone, so he set out to develop a bandage that she could apply without help. He placed a small piece of gauze in the center of a small piece of surgical tape, and what we know today as the Band Aid bandage was born!

| 20100102976 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING VIBRATION OF POWER TRANSFORMER The present invention provides a system and method for monitoring vibration of a power transformer. The system comprises at least one vibration sensor operably mounted to the outer case of a transformer for sensing vibration of the power transformer; a spectrum analyzer... | 04/29/2010 |
| 20090314092 | Method of Analyzing Non-Synchronous Vibrations Using a Dispersed Array Multi-Probe Machine A method for identifying an unfolded non-synchronous blade vibration frequency in blades on a rotating rotor using a plurality of probes spaced from each other about the rotor. A set of data is acquired from the probes during a predetermined number of rotor revolutions ... | 12/24/2009 |
| 20090249880 | Real-time detection of wafer shift/slide in a chamber Methods and systems for detecting wafer shift/slide in a semiconductor process chamber have been disclosed. The vibration amplitude is measured in terms of acceleration because an increase in vibrational acceleration correlates with an increase of displacement of a wafe... | 10/08/2009 |
| 20090019936 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING SQUEAKING NOISES A method for detecting squeaking noises within a sound signal generated during operation of a motor vehicle or during operation of a component thereof is described; in this method the sound signal is detected; an amplitude spectrum of the sound signal representing the a... | 01/22/2009 |
| 20080041163 | Particle Detection A method for detecting particles in a fluid involves passing any ultrasonic signal through the fluid. A Fast Fourier Transform analysis is performed on the received signal, to determine a characteristic frequency of the fluid where the amplitude is greatest. Both the am... | 02/21/2008 |
