20080301204 | Correlated Analysis of Wasted Space and Capacity Efficiency in Complex Storage Infrastructures - A system and method for correlated analysis of wasted space and capacity efficiency in complex storage infrastructures are provided. The system and method of the illustrative embodiments bring together wasted space data from all areas and components of the storage infrastructure into a single set of reports correlating information from these various sources in the storage infrastructure. In addition, correlated analysis of this collected information is performed with regard to wasted space. Logical storage devices of the storage infrastructure which are unused by host systems may be identified and appropriate corrective actions may be automatically taken. Moreover, automated recommendations and other automated corrective actions may be taken based upon the correlated analysis of the correlated data collected from the various components of the storage infrastructure. | 12-04-2008 |

20100108658 | Dual voltage regulating system for electrical resistance hot surface igniters and methods related thereto - Systems and methods for energizing a low voltage electrical resistance igniter are disclosed. The systems and methods determine the line voltage into the system and control the voltage being applied to the electrical resistance igniters so a first regulated voltage is applied initially and for a time period and thereafter a second regulated voltage is applied, the second voltage being the operating voltage for the igniter. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time required to heat-up the low voltage electrical resistance igniter to a temperature sufficient to ignite a fuel-air mixture while regulating the output voltage being delivered to the igniters to prevent over voltage damage to the igniters. | 05-06-2010 |
20100116182 | RESISTANCE HEATER BASED AIR HEATING DEVICE - Featured is a resistance heater air heating device that includes a low thermal conductivity enclosure and an electric resistance heater that is disposed within such an enclosure. In more particular embodiments, such an enclosure is configured so as to provide a high surface area which in combination with the heater heats the air passing through the enclosure. In more particular embodiments, the ceramic enclosure is configured and arranged so as to include a through aperture in which is disposed the electric resistance heater and through which the air flows along the length of the through aperture. | 05-13-2010 |
20110086319 | FUEL GAS IGNITION SYSTEM FOR GAS BURNERS INCLUDING DEVICES AND METHODS RELATED THERETO - Featured is a gas burner ignition system using miniaturized hot surface igniters of various types configurations and material systems: The ignition system includes an electronic microprocessor which controls both the igniter operation and all functions of the ignition system. | 04-14-2011 |
20110264269 | Ignition System Having Control Circuit With Learning Capabilities and Devices and Methods Related Thereto - Featured is an ignition system using miniaturized hot surface igniters of various types, configurations, and material systems. The ignition system includes an electronic microprocessor on which a software program is executed so as to control the operation of an igniter and all functions of the ignition system. The software program evaluates performance characteristics relating to operation of the igniter. Additionally, the software program determines operation parameters and characteristics for energizing the igniter when it determines that the operation parameters and characteristics for energizing should be updated or revised. | 10-27-2011 |
