| 20120019941 | SYSTEM FOR DISCRETELY ACTUATED SOLAR MIRRORS - System for establishing a surface shape. The system includes a compliant substrate including the surface and having a reverse side, and a plurality of discrete actuators engaging the reverse side and arranged in a selected pattern to control the surface shape as individual discrete activators are activated. It is preferred that the actuators have multiple discrete stable states of elongation. A particularly preferred embodiment uses actuators that are binary with two stable states of elongation. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20080258341 | LIGHTWEIGHT SINGLE-USE CONCRETE CURING SYSTEM - A lightweight concrete curing blanket includes a layer of nonwoven fabric that is hydrophilic and that has a thickness of less than about 0.020 inches. A layer of film (e.g., polyethylene film) is bonded to the layer of nonwoven fabric, and has a thickness less than or equal to about 0.001 inch. The layer of film has a moisture vapor transport rate of less than about 0.0016 grams per square foot per twenty-four hours. A combined weight of the layer of nonwoven fabric and the layer of film is less than about 100 grams per square meter. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100307157 | METHODS RELATING TO TURBINE ENGINE CONTROL AND OPERATION - A method of controlling a combustion turbine engine, wherein the engine includes: a fuel line including a heat exchange portion; a heating value meter; a cold leg bypass comprising an alternate fuel line that bypasses the heat exchange portion, the cold leg bypass being connected to the fuel line at an upstream fork and at a fuel mixing junction, the fuel mixing junction being positioned such that a length of fuel line between it and the inlet to the combustor is short; and valves for controlling the amount of fuel being directed through the heat exchange portion; the method comprising: measuring the heating value of the fuel; determining a target fuel temperature range based on the heating value and a target Modified Wobbe Index range; and controlling the fuel that bypasses the heat exchange portion such that the temperature of the fuel is within the target temperature range. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100307158 | SYSTEMS RELATING TO TURBINE ENGINE CONTROL AND OPERATION - A combustion turbine engine that includes: a compressor; a combustor that receives fuel from a fuel line; a turbine; a heat exchange portion comprising a portion of the fuel line in heat transfer relationship with a heat source for heating the fuel; a rapid heating value meter disposed to test the heating value of the fuel that is configured to provide heating value test results within approximately 1 minute; a cold leg bypass comprising a fuel line that bypasses the heat exchange portion, the cold leg bypass being connected to the fuel line at an upstream fork and at a fuel mixing junction; and valves for controlling the fuel being directed through the heat exchange portion and the fuel being direct through the cold leg bypass; wherein the length of fuel line between the fuel mixing junction and the combustor is less than 20 meters. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20110185702 | FUEL HEATER SYSTEM INCLUDING HOT AND WARM WATER SOURCES - A system is provided and includes first and second water supplies at first and second relatively high and low temperatures, respectively, a heat exchanger, coupled to the water supplies, through which fuel and relative amounts of the water supplies at the first and second temperatures flow for fuel heating and a controller, operably interposed between the water supplies and the heat exchanger, to select and/or modulate the relative amounts of the water supplies permitted to flow through the heat exchanger to heat the fuel to a temperature based on a heating requirement to meet a modified wobbe index (MWI) rating. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110203291 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS RELATING TO FUEL DELIVERY IN COMBUSTION TURBINE ENGINES - A fuel delivery system for a combustion turbine engine, comprising: a fuel line having a fuel compressor and parallel branches downstream of the fuel compressor: a cold branch that includes an after-cooler; and a hot branch that bypasses the after-cooler; a rapid heating value meter configured to measure the heating value of the fuel from the fuel source and transmit heating value data relating to the measurements; means for controlling the amount of fuel being directed through the cold branch and the amount of fuel being directed through the hot branch; and a fuel-mixing junction at which the cold branch and the hot branch converge; wherein the fuel-mixing junction resides in close proximity to a combustor gas control valve. | 08-25-2011 |
