20110259016 | METHOD OF STARTING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A method of starting a gas turbine engine includes maintaining the gas turbine engine at the dwelling speed after light-off until a predetermined magnitude of combustor warm-up is determined then increasing the speed of the starter motor to accelerate the gas turbine engine after the predetermined magnitude of combustor warm-up is achieved. | 10-27-2011 |
20110302927 | FUEL CONTROL METHOD FOR STARTING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A method for controlling a flow of fuel to a starting gas turbine engine includes controlling the flow of fuel to the engine by controlling fuel pressure to the engine, and modulating the flow of fuel to the engine if engine exhaust gas temperature approaches a given exhaust gas temperature to lower the engine exhaust gas temperature below the given exhaust gas temperature. | 12-15-2011 |
20120174594 | TURBOMACHINE FUEL DELIVERY METHOD AND ASSEMBLY - An example method of fuel delivery to a turbomachine includes reaching a light-off speed of a turbomachine and delivering fuel to a combustor of the turbomachine at a first rate. The method also increases the rate of the delivery. The combustor achieves light-off at a fuel flow rate on or in-between the first rate and a second rate that is greater than the first rate. An example turbomachine fuel delivery assembly includes a fuel delivery component and a controller configured to adjust the fuel pump to increase a rate of fuel delivery from a fuel supply to a combustor of a turbomachine. | 07-12-2012 |
20120326880 | Low Oil Indication - A method of indicating low oil level of lubrication oil for a gas turbine engine automatically eliminates false low oil readings due to temperature-induced lubrication oil shrinkage and operation-induced changes in lubrication oil level. | 12-27-2012 |
20130227959 | METHOD OF ACCELERATION CONTROL DURING APU STARTING - A method for controlling fuel flow to a gas turbine engine during starting includes monitoring acceleration of the gas turbine engine to determine actual acceleration value, and calculating a fuel flow rate for a setpoint acceleration using the actual acceleration value as a factor. The method further includes commanding the calculated fuel flow for the setpoint acceleration to the gas turbine engine. | 09-05-2013 |

20110286591 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE MOBILE COLLABORATION - A communication system is provided that uses loosely-coupled client-server architectures to improve the efficiency of communications. The communication system includes client and facilitator applications. The client application is a component of processor-based mobile communication devices. The facilitator application is hosted on one or more servers or other processor-based devices, and communicates with the client application via one or more couplings. The facilitator application can also be distributed among one or more portable processor-based devices including the communication devices hosting the client application. The communication system improves efficiency of voice communications by allowing communication device users to dynamically manage how and when mobile calls take place, intelligently screen calls based on caller identity, urgency, and subject matter, determine which contacts in a directory are available to talk and which ones choose not to be disturbed, and increase accessibility of enterprise and personal contact information from mobile phones. | 11-24-2011 |

20110226250 | SEAL FOR VARIABLE COMPRESSION INTERFACES - The disclosure is directed to an example of a device configured to be in fluid communication with an article. The device includes an element configured to contact the article to form a variable compression interface between the element and the article. The device also includes a seal disposed on the element and at the variable compression interface. The seal is configured to reduce an amount of unwanted fluid leakage at the variable compression interface. An example seal includes a filter media configured to trap unwanted particles attempting to pass through the variable compression interface. In one example, the variable compression interface can be included within a heat and moisture exchange (HME) unit. | 09-22-2011 |
20130081625 | CAPILLARY HEATER WIRE - A heater wire including at least one extending component disposed thereon. The heater wire is positioned within a respiratory gas conduit. | 04-04-2013 |

20110048726 | INTERNAL TREE CAP AND ITC RUNNING TOOL - Internal tree cap ( | 03-03-2011 |
20140034328 | BORE PROTECTOR - The invention provides a bore protector for a tubing hanger, the bore protector is to be arranged in a tubing hanger in a spool in a subsea production Xmas tree for through tubing rotary drilling (TTRD) in an existing production well. The bore protector is distinctive in that it comprises a means to be releasably fastened in at least one of: the spool in the Xmas tree and the tubing hanger, and a wear sleeve extending down into the tubing hanger, covering the tubing hanger sealing surfaces for the tubing hanger plugs, the wear sleeve comprises a shoulder at or near an upper end, the shoulder is arranged on a below positioned seat of a main part of the bore protector, in which position the wear sleeve is releasably fastened. | 02-06-2014 |
20140144645 | INTERNAL TREE CAP AND ITC RUNNING TOOL - Internal tree cap (ITC) adapted to be installed in the bore of a subsea well unit or to an internal tubular element of the same, comprising a locking element for releasably locking the internal tree cap to said subsea well unit or internal tubular element. The ITC further comprises a fluid channel extending through a fluid barrier between the lower and upper part of the internal tree cap, which fluid channel is blocked by a burst element adapted to break and open for fluid flow through the fluid channel when exposed to a predetermined pressure difference over the burst element. The invention also relates to an ITC running tool and a locking mechanism for supporting the ITC in the tool. | 05-29-2014 |
