| 20090123272 | ADAPTIVE VARIABLE GEOMETRY TURBOCHARGER STRATEGY - A variable geometry turbocharger employs multiple vanes in the turbine inlet with a unison ring and integral cast wall in the turbine housing forming the nozzle walls. An actuator rotates the unison ring through a rack and pinion driven crank shaft to move the vanes through a range of vane positions that extends between a hard-stop closed position and a hard-stop open position, and that includes a reference position corresponding to a desired flow condition. A variable geometry turbine controller uses a sensor indicating the actuation position of the actuator to guide the operation of the vanes to the reference position. The controller intermittently directs the actuator to force the vanes to the hard-stop closed and hard-stop open positions, and uses sensor information from those positions to reestablish the reference-position information that the actuator uses to guide the actuation of the vanes. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090249785 | VARIABLE-NOZZLE ASSEMBLY FOR A TURBOCHARGER - A variable-nozzle turbocharger includes a turbine housing and a center housing, and a generally annular nozzle ring and an array of vanes rotatably mounted to the nozzle ring such that the vanes are rotatably adjustable for regulating exhaust gas flow to the turbine wheel. An elastically deformable member is disposed between a radially inwardly facing surface of the nozzle ring and a radially outwardly facing surface of the center housing, the elastically deformable member having a radially inner surface contacting the radially outwardly facing surface of the center housing and having a radially outer surface contacting the radially inwardly facing surface of the nozzle ring so as to radially center the nozzle ring relative to the center housing. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20100230871 | Method of Sintering Ceramic Materials - A method of sintering a ceramic material comprises increasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a first predetermined temperature and maintaining the temperature of the ceramic material at the first predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to increase the grain size of the ceramic material. Increasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a second predetermined temperature, decreasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a third predetermined temperature to freeze the grain size of the ceramic material and maintaining the temperature of the ceramic material at the third predetermined temperature for a third predetermined time period to densify the ceramic material. Finally decreasing the temperature of the ceramic material to ambient temperature. The method increases the density of the ceramic material. Used for electrolyte layers of solid oxide fuel cells. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100255400 | FUEL CELL AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A FUEL CELL - A solid oxide fuel cell comprises a porous anode electrode, a dense non-porous electrolyte and a porous cathode electrode. The anode electrode comprises a plurality of parallel plate members and the cathode electrode comprises a plurality of parallel plate members. The plate members of the cathode electrode inter-digitate with the plate members of the anode electrode. The electrolyte comprises at least one electrolyte member, which fills at least one space between the parallel plate members of the anode electrode and the parallel plate members of the cathode electrode. At least one non-ionically conducting member fills at least one space between the parallel plate members of the anode electrode and the parallel plate members of the cathode electrode and the at least one electrolyte member and the at least one non-ionically conducting member are arranged alternately. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20090109111 | CROSS-POLAR COMPENSATING FEED HORN AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A feed horn with a horn body and a waveguide body, each with a front end and a back end, respectively. The horn body and the waveguide body coupled together, the waveguide body front end to the horn body back end. The waveguide body provided with a waveguide bore between the front end and the back end. At least one slot formed in the waveguide bore parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body bore, the at least one slot extending to the front end. The horn body provided with a horn bore between the front end and the back end. The horn body and the waveguide body formable via injection molding methods such as die casting. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20100058779 | STORAGE OF NATURAL GAS IN LIQUID SOLVENTS AND METHODS TO ABSORB AND SEGREGATE NATURAL GAS INTO AND OUT OF LIQUID SOLVENTS - Bulk storage of natural gas or methane is facilitated by absorbing and storing the gas in a liquefied medium through the interaction of moderate pressure, low temperature and a solvent medium. Systems and processes are provided that facilitate the absorption of natural gas or methane into a liquid or liquid vapor medium for storage and transport, and back into a gas for delivery to market. In a preferred embodiment, the absorptive properties of ethane, propane and butane under moderate conditions of temperature and pressure (associated with a novel mixing process) are utilized to store natural gas or methane at more efficient levels of compressed volume ratio than are attainable with natural gas alone under similar holding conditions. The preferred mixing process efficiently combines natural gas or methane with a solvent medium such as liquid ethane, propane, butane, or other suitable fluid, to form a concentrated liquid or liquid vapor mixture suited for storage and transport. The solvent medium is preferably recycled in the conveyance vessel on unloading of the natural gas. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20090300632 | WORK REQUEST CONTROL SYSTEM - A work request control system for receiving work requests from input devices provides a priority queuing mechanism for performance of tasks by a finite pool of heterogeneous resources. An input receives work requests from input devices and an attribute mechanism receives the work requests and determines the values of each of multiple attributes for each work request. A queue mechanism calculates using the multiple attributes and by considering each request as a multi-dimensional eigenvector the relative distance of each eigenvector in relation to a reference eigenvector and asserts the work requests in a priority order determined by the relative distance of each eigenvector. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20110257135 | TOPICAL PESTICIDE FORMULATION - Described are formulations and methods for animal pest control. A formulation for topical administration to animal pests includes a solution including an effective amount of cholecalciferol (also known as Vitamin D3) and at least one dermal penetrant or carrier, such that a lethal dose of the cholecalciferol can be delivered transdermally to an animal pest in solution, thereby being absorbed into the animal's bloodstream and subsequently causing the death of the animal. The formulation and method is effective at killing pests such as mice, rats, stoats, weasels, ferrets, rabbits, hedgehogs and possums. | 10-20-2011 |
