Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090255923Induction Heating Method - During induction heating of a billet of an electrically conducting material by rotating the billet relative to a magnetic field that is generated by means of at least one direct-current-carrying superconducting winding on an iron core, the reverse-induction voltage can be reduced when a direct current is generated and maintained in the winding at a value that generates in the iron core at least in the region of the winding a magnetic flux density at which the relative permeability of the material of the iron core is less than in a zero-current state of the winding.10-15-2009
20090272734Induction Heater - An induction heater for heating metallic billets with a yoke of E-shaped cross-section, on the middle limb of which a superconducting coil is seated, has a well located between the middle limb and each one of the respective two outer limbs. A billet can be heated by being rotated in each one of the two wells.11-05-2009
20100147833Method and Apparatus for Induction Heating of a Metallic Workpiece - An apparatus and related method for inductively heating a workpiece is disclosed. A first magnetic unit is rotated about a metallic workpiece utilizing a super-conducting spool, while a second magnetic unit can be utilized to generate an exterior magnetic field operable to drive the first magnetic unit.06-17-2010
20120021916METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HEATING SHEET MATERIAL - A method and an apparatus for heating a sheet material made of an electrically conductive, non-magnetic material, the apparatus including at least one coil arrangement with DC-carrying windings that is made to rotate around an axis oriented perpendicular to the sheet material and to thereby induce eddy currents in the sheet material.01-26-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090193044WEB GRAPH COMPRESSION THROUGH SCALABLE PATTERN MINING - A method and a processing device are provided for compressing a web graph including multiple nodes and links between the multiple nodes. Nodes of the web graph may be clustered into groups including no more than a predetermined number of nodes. A list of links of the clustered nodes may be created and sorted based on a frequency of occurrence of each of the links. A prefix tree may be created based on the sorted list of links. The prefix tree may be walked to find candidate virtual nodes. The candidate virtual nodes may be analyzed according to a selection criteria and a virtual node may be selected. The prefix tree may be adjusted to account for the selection of the virtual node and the virtual node may be added to the web graph.07-30-2009

20090032064PLATE WASHING SYSTEM WITH ULTRASONIC CLEANING OF PIPES AND A CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An automated method of cleaning the pipes of a plate washing system is provided. The plate washing system includes at least one manifold having a plurality of pipes configured to be provided within wells of a plate in order to wash the wells, an ultrasonic transducer mounted to a tank, and a control system. The plate washing system also includes sensors to sense the position of the pipes relative to plate and the tank, and the fluid level within the wells of the plate. The method includes dispensing fluid to the tank, submerging the tips of the pipes within the fluid, activating the ultrasonic transducer in order to vibrate the fluid, and aspirating the fluid from the tank. The control system may initiate a cleaning operation at the request of the user, at a scheduled interval, or when the level sensing system detects a decrease in instrument function.02-05-2009
