20090185188PASS-FAIL TOOL FOR TESTING PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION LEVEL IN A FLUID - A simple pass-fail tool that can be used to test the particulate contamination level in a fluid. The tool relies upon a comparison between a measured indicator of the contamination level in the fluid with another indicator of a contamination level of the fluid. Based on the comparison, conclusions about the contamination level of the fluid, and decisions about the fluid, for example that the fluid is acceptable for a particular use, can be made. The fluid can be fuel, lubrication, power transfer, heat exchange or other fluids used in a fluid system, for example fuel injection systems of diesel engines or hydraulic systems, where contamination of the fluid is of concern and use of an excessively contaminated fluid is to be avoided.07-23-2009

20100122931Coking of Gas Oil from Slurry Hydrocracking - Integrated slurry hydrocracking (SHC) and coking methods for making slurry hydrocracking (SHC) distillates are disclosed. Representative methods involve passing a slurry comprising a vacuum column resid, a liquid coker product, and a solid particulate through an SHC reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen to obtain the SHC distillate. Atmospheric distillation in the SHC product recovery section yields a combined SHC gas oil/SHC pitch stream that is sent to coking to generate the liquid coker product. In a representative embodiment, vacuum distillation in the SHC product recovery is avoided, thereby eliminating equipment that is often most susceptible to fouling.05-20-2010

20120145490SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INDICATION OF BRAKING FOR ELECTRIC BRAKES - A system for electrical braking of a vehicle comprises a power bus coupled to a first driver associated with a first electromechanical actuator (EMA). The power bus is also coupled to a second driver associated with a second EMA, and the first EMA and the second EMA are associated with a wheel of the vehicle. The power bus provides braking power to the first EMA via the first driver and to the second EMA via the second driver. A normal braking command interface provides a first braking signal to the first driver and a second braking signal to the second driver. An emergency/park brake interface bypasses the normal braking command interface and sends a first emergency/park braking signal to the first driver and a second emergency/park braking signal to the second driver. A sensor measures a current at a single location of the power bus that is proportional to a braking force exerted on the wheel.06-14-2012
