| 20090249879 | INSPECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF MATERIAL PROPERTY ANOMALIES - An inspection system includes an ultrasonic transducer configured to deliver ultrasonic wave energy to at least one sub volume of the part, and an ultrasonic receiver configured to receive ultrasonic wave energy from the part at a fundamental frequency and at least one harmonic frequency. Both the ultrasonic transducer and the ultrasonic receiver are located on the same side of the part in various configurations. In a method, ultrasonic wave energy is delivered to at least one subvolume of the part using an ultrasonic transducer and ultrasonic wave energy from the part at a fundamental frequency is received at least one harmonic frequency using an ultrasonic receiver positioned on the same side of the part to determine whether one or more material property anomalies are present in the part. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090232664 | Permanent magnet motor for subsea pump drive - A subsea pump drive employs a permanent magnet (PM) motor to drive a subsea pump. The PM motor rotor in one embodiment is canned with a non-magnetic material such as inconel that can provide a desired level of corrosion protection. The PM motor provides a subsea pump drive that is smaller and more efficient, having a high power factor than a subsea pump drive utilizing a conventional induction motor. The PM motor subsea pump drive eliminates the necessity for a topside storage tank and associated fluid transfer lines when the motor rotor is cooled with processed fluid. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090231890 | Boost converter input ripple current reduction circuit - A boost inductor value reduction circuit is integrated into a traditional boost power converter to greatly reduce undesirable high frequency harmonics from being fed back to the input side of the boost power converter. The boost inductor value reduction circuit is very small when compared with traditional filter techniques, is less costly than traditional filter techniques, and does not degrade the boost power converter control performance. It can also be used to reduce the size of the boost inductor without compromising the converter performance for use in energy efficient sensitive applications such as photovoltaic inverters. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090230689 | WIND TURBINE ENERGY STORAGE AND FREQUENCY CONTROL - Commands are generated for controlling a state of charge of an energy storage device coupled between an energy source and an auxiliary load. Commands are also generated for providing from the energy storage device to the auxiliary load and for using power from the energy storage device for controlling a DC link voltage, energy source torque, grid side power flow, or combinations thereof. Commands may also be generated to provide frequency compatible power to auxiliary loads of the energy source. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090031311 | PROCESSING TECHNIQUES FOR SERVERS HANDLING CLIENT/SERVER TRAFFIC AND COMMUNICATIONS - The present invention relates to a system for handling client/server traffic and communications pertaining to the delivery of hypertext information to a client. The system includes a central server which processes a request for a web page from a client. The central server is in communication with a number of processing/storage entities, such as an annotation means, a cache, and a number of servers which provide identification information. The system operates by receiving a request for a web page from a client. The cache is then examined to determine whether information for the requested web page is available. If such information is available, it is forwarded promptly to the client for display. Otherwise, the central server retrieves the relevant information for the requested web page from the pertinent server. The relevant information is then processed by the annotation means to generate additional relevant computer information that can be incorporated to create an annotated version of the requested web page which includes additional displayable hypertext information. The central server then relays the additional relevant computer information to the client so as to allow the annotated version of the requested web page to be displayed. In addition, the central server can update the cache with information from the annotated version. The central server can also interact with different servers to collect and maintain statistical usage information. In handling its communications with various processing/storage entities, the operating system running behind the central server utilizes a pool of persistent threads and an independent task queue to improve the efficiency of the central server. A task needs to have a thread assigned to it before the task can be executed. The pool of threads are continually maintained and monitored by the operating system. Whenever a thread is available, the operating system identifies the next executable task in the task queue and assigns the available thread to such task so as to allow it to be executed. Upon conclusion of the task execution, the assigned thread is released back into the thread pool. An additional I/O queue for specifically handling input/output tasks can also be used to further improve the efficiency of the central server. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090029631 | Mitigation of stress corrosion and fatigue by surface conditioning - Method and apparatus for surface conditioning a metal surface typically having irregular surface contours, by rubbing the metal surface with a surface conditioning device having a plurality of bristles which contact the metal surface during the rubbing and effect tensile stress reduction or degraded layer removal in the metal surface. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20080305582 | POWER SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING METHOD AND STRUCTURE - A semiconductor chip packaging structure is fabricated by using a dielectric film with two surfaces, and a power semiconductor chip with an active surface having contact pads. An adhesive layer is used to connect the first surface of the dielectric film and the active surface of the power semiconductor chip. A patterned electrically conductive layer is formed adjacent to the second surface of the film, extending through holes in the film to the contact pads. | 12-11-2008 |
