| 20110054871 | Thermodynamic Process Control Based on Pseudo-density Root for Equation of State - A system for thermodynamic modeling is provided. The system comprises a computer having a processor, a thermodynamic process simulation application, and a thermodynamic equation of state application. When executed by the processor, the thermodynamic equation of state application determines a density root based on a first and second point of departure from an equation of state and based on a first and a second extrapolation equation. The first departure point satisfies the equation | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110066285 | Thermodynamic Phase Equilibrium Analysis Based on a Reduced Composition Domain - A method of modeling phase characteristics of thermodynamic systems utilizing pseudo-properties strategy and a reduced number of variables is disclosed herein. The method describes a means of determining the probability of phase splitting of mixtures of materials at a given temperature, pressure, and composition by characterizing the functions that describe the system via pseudo-properties, and also by describing the system in n−1 or fewer variables, where n represents the number of components in the system of interest. In an embodiment, a multi-component system is characterized in one variable, thereby providing simplified thermodynamic models in a time-efficient manner. In addition, the information generated by this reduced-variable calculation can further be used as a starting point for calculations of equations of state. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20120095808 | System and Method for Process Predictive Simulation - A system for process control is provided. The system comprises a computer system, a data store comprising a plurality of data sets, each data set associated with operating conditions of a plant at a particular time, a first application, and a second application, the first and second applications executed by the computer system. The first application simulates operation of the plant in accordance with first principles and based on one of the data sets. The second application receives plant simulation data from the first application, aggregates plant historical data about the plant from a plurality of sources, associates the plant simulation data and the plant historical data to components of the plant, analyzes the plant simulation data and the plant historical data, and visually presents an information produced by the analysis of the plant simulation data and the plant historical data. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20100014958 | TURBINE ENGINE ROTOR DISC WITH COOLING PASSAGE - Disclosed is a gas turbine engine rotor disc with a plurality of cooling passages having an essentially radial orientation relative to an axis of rotation of the rotor disc, each cooling passage having an inlet and an outlet and being included relative to a rotor disc surface and a cut-out arranged at the passage at an outlet end of the passage. Each cooling passage terminating in a slot is arranged in the periphery of the rotor disc. Each slot is sized and configured to receive a glade root. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100047073 | TURBINE BLADE ASSEMBLY - A turbine blade assembly, in particular of a gas turbine, is provided. The turbine blade assembly includes a turbine disc with rotor blades inserted into notches of the turbine disc and locking plates that are placed inside circular grooves with rims in the turbine disc and in the rotor blade. The edges of the locking plates that are oriented towards the center of the turbine disc are castellated by providing teeth and accordingly a part of the rim of the circular groove of the turbine disc is also castellated by providing gaps and whereby the gaps of the rim match the teeth of the locking plates. The locking plates have a spring-back force to provide both locking and sealing capabilities during engine operation. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20100122123 | METHOD FOR GUARANTEEING CONSISTENCY OF FUNCTIONAL PARTS ACROSS A SOFTWARE INSTALLATION IN A COMPUTER - A method for guaranteeing consistency of functional parts across a software installation in a computer that is platform and language independent. Specifically, each software installation will contain a part, for example a DLL that exports a function or variable, which is available to other parts in the installation. All other parts in the installation, for example, executable files and other DLLs, will reference the exported resource. The name of the exported resource should evoke a particular software level and be specific to the software installation it belongs to. All other software installations on the same computer will follow this practice. Thus, all parts in a software installation will effectively reference a software level (via an exported resource). When the multiple parts of software are loaded into computer memory prior to execution of the software, the operating system will attempt to resolve references to the exported resource. If a software part has been modified such that it refers to an inconsistent export resource, the operating system will produce an error at software load time, immediately identifying the inconsistent part. | 05-13-2010 |
