| 20110011572 | Helical Tube Bundle Arrangements for Heat Exchangers - A heat exchanger comprising helically wound tube bundles is disclosed. The helically wound tube bundles are joined with tube sheets to define a primary working fluid system that is fluidically isolated from a secondary working fluid system. The tube sheets and tubes are formed of the same material, which facilitates their joining by means of joints that are substantially galvanic corrosion-resistant joints. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20080223685 | CLUTCH EXHAUST ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - An assembly and method is provided for reducing clutch wear due to centrifugal apply pressure within a clutch-apply cavity. The assembly comprises a rotatable clutch housing, a clutch-apply piston disposed within a clutch-apply cavity, and a balance piston. The balance and apply pistons define a balance cavity including a liquid fill channel and a dedicated air exhaust channel having a control radius configured to at least partially offset or compensate for the centrifugal apply force generated within the clutch-apply cavity when the clutch assembly rotates. The method includes configuring the balance cavity with an exhaust channel for exhausting fluid, and providing the exhaust channel with a control radius determined by the innermost radius of rotating fluid within the balance cavity as measured with respect to the centerline of rotation of the clutch assembly, the control radius being suitable for exhausting any excess of centrifugal balance force over centrifugal apply force. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090250307 | DUAL APPLY CLUTCH APPARATUS FOR COMPACT ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION - An actuator assembly for selectively actuating a clutch includes a first actuator ring that is moveable between a first axial position and a second axial position along a rotational axis of the clutch, and a second actuator ring that is slidably received within the first actuator ring, and that is moveable between a third axial position and a fourth axial position by the first actuator ring. The first actuator ring receives a first actuation force, and when in the second axial position, transfers the first actuation force to the second actuator ring. The second actuator ring selectively receives the first actuation force and a second actuation force, and when in the fourth axial position, transfers one of the first and second actuation forces to the clutch. The actuator assembly is included with a transmission and actuates a clutch that provides an input to a planetary gear set of the transmission. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100155159 | HYDRO-MECHANICAL CLUTCH FOR A HYBRID TRANSMISSION AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - A clutch assembly and method of operating the clutch assembly to start an engine of a hybrid vehicle includes a first clutch and a first clutch actuator for selectively engaging the first clutch. The first actuator has a first at-rest position engaging the clutch and a hydraulically charged position disengaged from the first clutch. The clutch assembly further includes a second clutch actuator having a second at-rest position away disengaged from the first clutch and a second hydraulically charged position engaged with the first clutch. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20110172959 | MULTI-GAP INTERFEROMETRIC SENSORS - An apparatus for estimating a property includes a hollow core tube and an input light guide disposed at least partially within hollow core tube. The apparatus also includes a second gap disposed within the hollow core tube and separated from the input light guide by an air gap width. The second gap is formed of a first solid material and has a second gap width. The apparatus also includes a third gap disposed at least partially within the hollow core tube and being further from the input light guide than the second gap. The third gap is formed of a second solid material and has a third gap width. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20110241936 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING AND UPDATING GEOGRAPHICAL DATA - A system and method for generating a geographical data transaction including information about a topography of a region and utilities within the region. The method and system include providing information about the topography of the region; receiving information from a user collecting data related to one or more utilities in the region; receiving information about time and date of the collected data; receiving information about each of the utilities; and receiving information about location of each of the utilities. The system and method further include receiving information about revisions made to the information about the map; and integrating the received information with the information about the topography of the region into a geographical data transaction. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20100198503 | Method and System for Assessing Quality of Location Content - A method and system for assessing the quality of location content is disclosed. The method includes evaluating the quality of location content based on who provided the content, the accuracy of the location data associated with the content, the integrity of the content, and when the content was provided. As a result of the evaluation, a quality score is generated. The quality score provides an indication of the reliability of the location content. The quality score may be updated when a change is made to the content. | 08-05-2010 |
