20100070515 | SHARED NAMESPACE FOR STORAGE CLUSTERS - Any client application uses a namespace application to resolve its pathname in order to reference a computer file. Computer files are stored in a fixed-content storage cluster and are accessed by retrieving a unique identifier for the computer file using the namespace application. Any type of pathname scheme from any client application is supported by the namespace. The namespace application uses a bindings table to record bindings between objects including the start date and end date for each binding, and direction and separator data used in the pathname scheme. An attribute table in the namespace keeps track of each attribute and its value for each object of the namespace including a start date and an end date for each attribute. The namespace provides syntactic generality in that any pathname scheme of a client application can be resolved to identify a unique computer file in the storage cluster. The namespace may be shared between applications because when one application modifies a file or its attributes using the namespace, another application using a different pathname scheme has access to the exact same data and modifications. The namespace provides a near instantaneous continuous backup for computer files in the storage cluster because of the use of start date and end dates for the bindings and attributes. | 03-18-2010 |

In a first embodiment, a ceramic turbine rotor rotates just inside a ceramic shroud and separated by a small clearance gap. The ceramic rotor is connected to a metallic volute. In order to accommodate the differential rates of thermal expansion between the ceramic rotor and metallic volute, an active clearance control system is used to maintain the desired axial clearance between ceramic rotor and the ceramic shroud over the range of engine operating temperatures. In a second embodiment, a ceramic turbine rotor rotates just inside a ceramic shroud which is part of a single piece ceramic volute/shroud assembly. As temperature increases, the ceramic volute expands at approximately the same rate as ceramic shroud and tends to increase the axial clearance gap between the ceramic rotor and ceramic shroud, but only by a small amount compared to a metallic volute attached to the shroud in the same way | 01-26-2012 |

The bearing closest to the compressor can be an oil bearing and the bearing closest to the turbine an air bearing. The bearing closest to the compressor and the bearing closest to the turbine can both be an oil bearing. The bearing closest to the compressor and the bearing closest to the turbine can both be an air bearing. Moving the metallic-ceramic joint between the bearings can provide sufficient isolation to enable the all-air bearing solution. | 07-17-2014 |

20110246389 | Electronic trading spooler - A spooler for a computerized trading system is provided. The spooler acts as a master to a calculation engine slave that calculates the desired state of the orders and quotes in the market. Thus, the spooler controls the high-level allocation of computational and communicational resources of the computerized trading system and the calculation engine receives from the spooler what to calculate. The spooler imposes when necessary an overall priority of calculation of the trading system that supports the spooling activity. The spooler comprises a scheduler and a package assembly. The scheduler determines the current state of the underlying prices relative to the underlying prices used to calculate quotes still active in the exchange and whether the computational resources of the trading system should focus as much as possible on preparing quoting operations, or whether other activities of the trading system can be done. The package assembly prepares quoting operations and builds the quoting operation data package. Depending on the state of the system, the scheduler operates in different modes: a “normal computations” mode, a “priority computations” mode, and a “masshold” mode. | 10-06-2011 |

20110020972 | System And Method For Making A Photovoltaic Unit - A process of making a photovoltaic unit includes steps of simultaneously forming a first layer of n-type material and a second layer of p-type material using a continuous casting process, and continuously bonding the first and second layers to form a p-n junction. The process may be performed using a twin-roll type continuous casting system having a continuous casting mold that includes a first mold compartment for receiving molten n-type material and a second mold compartment for receiving molten p-type material. The molten n-type material and the molten p-type material are gradually solidified into semi-solid shells and are pressed together by opposed casting rolls, creating a metallurgical bond between the n-type material and the p-type material that forms an effective p-n junction. The process permits the large scale efficient manufacturing of photovoltaic units. | 01-27-2011 |
20110036530 | System and Method for Integrally Casting Multilayer Metallic Structures - A process of making a multilayer metallic casting includes steps of simultaneously forming a first layer of a first metallic material and a second layer of a second metallic material using a continuous casting process, and continuously bonding the first and second layers to form a integrally cast multilayer metallic casting. The process may be performed using a twin-roll type continuous casting system having a continuous casting mold that includes a first mold compartment for receiving a molten first metallic material and a second mold compartment for receiving a molten second metallic. The molten first and second types of metallic material are gradually solidified into semi-solid shells and are pressed together by opposed casting rolls, creating a metallurgical bond between the first and second types of metallic material in order to form an integrally cast multilayer metallic casting. The process permits the large scale efficient manufacturing of near net shape multilayer metallic castings. | 02-17-2011 |
20110036531 | System and Method for Integrally Casting Multilayer Metallic Structures - A process of making a multilayer metallic casting includes steps of simultaneously forming a first layer of a first metallic material and a second layer of a second metallic material using a high speed continuous casting process, and continuously bonding the first and second layers to form a integrally cast multilayer metallic casting. The process may be performed using a twin-roll type continuous casting system having a continuous casting mold that includes a first mold compartment for receiving a molten first metallic material and a second mold compartment for receiving a molten second metallic. The molten first and second types of metallic material are quickly solidified into semi-solid shells and are pressed together by opposed casting rolls, creating a metallurgical bond between the first and second types of metallic material in order to form an integrally cast multilayer metallic casting. The process permits the high speed efficient manufacturing of near net shape multilayer metallic castings. | 02-17-2011 |
20120103555 | ULTRA-THIN SLAB OR THICK-STRIP CASTING - A system of twin-roll casting an ultra-thin slab or thick-strip of metal with a liquid core still present inside the hollow shell of the casting as it exits the nip of the opposing counter rotating casting rolls. The wide sides of the cast shell are formed against a recessed casting surface on each roll and the narrow end walls of the shell are formed against the tapered ends of the recessed area so one half of the narrow end wall is formed on each roll and the two halves are joined together at the nip to form the full perimeter of the metal casting. A liquid-cooled copper mold liner provides continued support to each of the four sides of the casting below the twin-rolls and contact with those chilled copper mold liners continues to remove heat from the liquid core of the casting enabling the shell to continue growing in thickness. As the casting exits the mold it will be of adequate thickness to pass through opposing pairs of support rolls below the mold without bulging where water sprays can provide the additional cooling needed for final and complete solidification. A variation of this system uses one or more separating dams to cast different metals or different alloys of the same metal to integrally cast a dual-layer or multi-layer ultra-thin slab or thick strip of metal with a thin metal layer on one or both of the wide and narrow end casting surfaces. | 05-03-2012 |
