| 20110142747 | THREE PHASE SULFUR SEPARATION SYSTEM WITH INTERFACE CONTROL - A liquid separator system having a gas phase zone, an aqueous phase zone and a denser liquid zone is used to separate mixtures of fluids. The separator can be used for separating molten sulfur from liquid redox solution or reslurry water. The system includes a vessel with a top part and a bottom part. The vessel has a larger diameter at the top part than at the bottom part. The system also includes an inlet for introducing a redox solution or reslurry water and molten sulfur, which is denser than redox solution or reslurry water, into the vessel. An outlet near the bottom part of the vessel allows a flow of the molten sulfur from the vessel. An interface control structure senses an interface level between the redox solution or reslurry water and the molten sulfur, and the interface control structure controls the flow of molten sulfur from the outlet. The interface control structure is adjusted to optimally alter the vertical height of the interface level within the vessel so that the residence time of the molten sulfur in the vessel does not decrease as the sulfur production throughput decreases, and so that the interface area of the molten sulfur and the redox solution is reduced as the sulfur throughput decreases. A pressure controller monitors the pressure in the vessel and adds or removes gas from a gas phase zone in the vessel to maintain a predetermined pressure regardless of the vertical height of the interface. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20110075447 | SINGLE STAGE POWER CONVERSION UNIT WITH CIRCUIT TO SMOOTH AND HOLDUP DC OUTPUT VOLTAGE - The Power Conversion Unit includes a single stage rectifier circuit that generates a DC voltage which is stored on a first capacitor. A circuit arrangement connected to the first capacitor monitors the DC voltage at the capacitor and other predefined signals to generate signals for smoothing ripples associated with the DC voltage and maintains the DC voltage at a predefined level for a predefined time interval. The holdup and smoothing voltages are generated by developing and storing a high voltage on a second capacitor. A switching device connected to the second capacitor causes energy to flow from the second capacitor into the primary winding of a transformer whose secondary winding are switched to deposit the energy stored in said transformer onto the first capacitor. A circuit for charging the second capacitor is also provided. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090201821 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING EARLY LINK FAILURE IN AN ETHERNET NETWORK - A system and method for providing an early indication of link failure in an Ethernet network. In some embodiments an Ethernet PHY determines a link failure if the PHY loses descrambler synchronization, if remote receiver status is determined to indicate a remote receiver failure, or if link status indicates a link failure. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090201924 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SQUELCHING A RECOVERED CLOCK IN AN ETHERNET NETWORK - A system and method for squelching a recovered clock in an Ethernet network. In one embodiment the invention provides a method for squelching a recovered clock in an Ethernet network comprising a local node coupled to a remote node by a link, the method including receiving a descrambler status signal, receiving a remote receiver status signal, receiving a link status signal, and squelching the recovered clock signal based on the descrambler status signal, the remote receiver status signal, and the link status signal. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20110170645 | METHOD FOR SWITCHING MASTER/SLAVE TIMING IN A 1000BASE-T LINK WITHOUT TRAFFIC DISRUPTION - A method switches master/slave timing in a communication network without traffic disruption. The method includes a master device informing a slave of timing loss. The master device additionally begins transmitting with timing from a local reference clock and begins receive timing recovery. The slave freezes its receive timing recovery and locks its transmit clock. The master device transitions its transmit timing to use the recovered receive clock. The slave gradually switches to transmitting using its local clock signal. The method may be used in synchronous Ethernet networks. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20090193614 | DUST COLLECTION APPARATUS FOR DEMOLITION TOOL - A dust collection device for attaching to a demolition tool includes a hollow first body, a hollow second body, and a suction tube. The hollow first body can be configured to connect with an associated demolition tool. The hollow second body can connect with the first body and the two bodies can cooperate to define an internal space. The second body can be at least one of (i) selectively removable from and reattachable to the first body at or adjacent a distal end of the first body without damaging the first body or the second body and (ii) rotatable with respect to the first body. The suction tube can connect to at least one of the first body and the second body. The suction tube can define a passage in fluid communication with the internal space. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20090148093 | ADJUSTABLE ANTIFRICTION BEARING ARRANGEMENT - A shaft is supported in a housing on the front and rear antifriction bearings that are mounted in opposition. The front bearing has an outer race provided with an external thread that engages an internal thread within the housing. That outer race is fitted with a locking ring that is engaged to turn the race and thereby bring the front and rear bearings to a desired setting. The locking ring has a flange that lies along a radially directed face of the housing, and once the bearings achieve a desired setting, a screw is extended through the flange and into the housing to secure the locking ring and the outer race against rotation. | 06-11-2009 |

| 20110198904 | IMPERVIOUS WHEELCHAIR SEAT COVER SYSTEM - An impervious wheelchair seat cover used to substantially ensure that every patient or individual that is transported through a facility has a clean and sanitary wheelchair. The impervious wheelchair seat cover comprises a seat cover made from impervious materials and cut so that the impervious wheelchair seat cover lines a seat portion, a back portion and an arm portion of the wheelchair. The top and bottom corners have hook and loop fastener securing ties to hold the impervious wheelchair seat cover in place. There also are numerous pieces of adhesive material on the underside of the impervious wheelchair seat cover providing further cohesion to the chair. The arm covers are designed so as not to cover the sides of the wheelchair chair and to accommodate urine bags and other medical attachments. The impervious wheelchair seat cover is disposable or is washable and reusable. | 08-18-2011 |
