20080284168Pulsed energy transfer - A system capable of converting fluid energy into electrical energy in conditions of low fluid flow is provided. In an embodiment, the system may engage and disengage an energy converter via an automatic clutch. In an embodiment, the transmission of energy to an energy converter is controlled by switching the energy converter on and off. In another embodiment, the flow of electrical energy to an electrical load is controlled by a switching device. In another embodiment, a funnel is used for condensing the flow of fluid moving through the system.11-20-2008
20100135767Variable and Centrifugal Flywheel and Centrifugal Clutch - A flywheel is attached to a shaft of a turbine. As the shaft rotates, the flywheel swings outwards away from the shaft and regulates the angular velocity of the rotating shaft. In an embodiment, there are multiple flywheels attached to the shaft. In another embodiment there is a first flywheel that controls a second flywheel.06-03-2010

20090196075FLY-FORWARD CONVERTER POWER SUPPLY - A fly-forward converter topology for a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that may incorporate the advantages of both a forward converter and a flyback converter into a two-stage half-wave converter is provided. The fly-forward converter may be considered as a half-wave forward converter that has been modified with the addition of another secondary winding and a second rectifier, operating as a forward converter during the on period of the primary-side switch(es) and functioning as a flyback converter during the off period. Magnetizing energy stored in the core of the converter's transformer is not lost or recirculated in the primary, but may be transferred from the primary to the secondary. By transferring the transformer magnetizing energy to the secondary during the off period, the transformer core of the fly-forward converter may be reset without additional core resetting circuitry.08-06-2009
20090261790SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER POST REGULATOR - Methods and apparatus for regulating a synchronous rectifier DC-to-DC converter by adjusting one or more existing synchronous rectifiers in the converter are provided. By regulating an existing synchronous rectifier, the rectifier may function as a modulator for post regulation over a limited range of output voltages suitable for load regulation, without introducing an additional conversion stage for post regulation, which typically decreases efficiency and power density. Independent post regulation of an existing synchronous rectifier may improve the load regulation, reduce output voltage ripple, and improve the transient response of the converter. By operating independently from the main control loop, post regulation may most likely avoid the limitations of the main control loop, such as limited gain bandwidth and a relatively slow transient response. Such post regulation may be added to isolated or non-isolated switched-mode power supplies, such as forward or buck converters.10-22-2009

20100112075COMPOSITIONS OF MICROPARTICLES AND GRANULES FOR ORAL CONTROLLED RELEASE OF SUBSTANCES FOR VETERINARY USE - Microparticles or granules intended for use in the zootechnical field, constituted by a core which contains a substance having a pharmacological action, a food supplement or a diagnostic medium, intimately mixed or adsorbed with a hydrated silicate of magnesium, aluminum, calcium and sodium (smectite, montmorillonite or bentonite); the core is coated with a double fatty layer constituted by two fats or waxes, of which the one having the highest melting point constitutes the inner layer while the one having the lowest melting point is arranged so as to form the outer layer. The ability to control release effectively and accordingly reduce rumen degradation of active substances which contain a cationic or an anionic chemical function, such as for example choline chloride lysine hydrochloride, calcium chloride, citric acid, ascorbic acid or nicotinic acid is determined by the synergistic action of two phenomena: an interaction between the active substance and the other component of the core, and the barrier effect of the double fat layer. Taken individually, the two phenomena are unable to apply effective control over the release of the active substance.05-06-2010

20100305736CUSTOMIZABLE SCHEDULING TOOL, MANUFACTURING EXECUTING SYSTEM CONTAINING THE TOOL AND METHOD OF USING THE TOOL - A customizable scheduling tool is used in a system for managing and controlling manufacturing processes planned by enterprise resource planning (ERP) and produced by a plant floor. A manufacturing executing system (MES) implements the planned manufacturing process and controls the corresponding production at the plant floor. The scheduling tool contains a set of built in data relating to the plant floor forming a data model and built in formula templates. The scheduling tool contains measures for defining new data, and the measures are operable to edit new fields to expand the built in set of data, and measures for modifying a built-in formula template. Ideally a manufacturing executing system (MES) contains such a tool and utilizes a method of using the tool.12-02-2010

20100279316Antibodies to Phosphorylated IRAK4 - The present invention relates to antibodies that bind phosphorylated forms of IRAK4, methods of using such antibodies to detect IRAK4 biological activity, and methods for the detection, diagnosis, and prognostication of pathological conditions related to IRAK4 biological activity. ERAK4 is one member of a small family of highly conserved cytoplasmic signal transduction proteins characterized by the presence of an N-terminal “death domain” and a C-terminal serine-threonine kinase domain. IRAK4 functions in cytoplasmic signal transduction pathways by interacting with membrane spanning proteins which play, inter alia, critical roles in vertebrate immune system function.11-04-2010
