20100300097 | HEAT ENGINE - A heat engine includes a boiler, an injector for injecting working fluid into the boiler, a retainer for releasing the hydraulic fluid for movement away from a start position once working fluid vapour pressure in the boiler reaches a predetermined level, a returner for returning the hydraulic fluid to its start position following expansion of working fluid vapour in the boiler, resulting in reciprocating hydraulic fluid motion, and an exhaust valve to release expanded working fluid vapour from the boiler. The vapour pressure increase in the boiler causes a change of state from liquid to gas of a least a portion of the injected working fluid, followed by a substantially constant pressure heating of the working fluid, giving rise to a change of state from liquid to gas of substantially all of the remaining injected working fluid. | 12-02-2010 |

20100140518 | Valves Controlling Flow - Valves controlling flow of gas or liquid, where compressible material is trapped within a rigid housing to provide a leak-proof seal surrounding an longitudinally movable rigid shaft. Where the shaft has a hollow channel and perpendicular ports to the outer surface, it allows for on and off control and is called a hollow shaft valve. If the shaft has diametric reductions on its outer surface, the valve allows for variable control. Creating a series of hollow shaft valves and variable shaft valves on a single shaft allows multiple functions through a single seal to create a serial shaft valve. The technology also allows for the precise and indexed variable control of fluid flow through a variable shaft valve by having a bayonet style system to precisely actuate orifice size rather than a rotary handle. This arrangement has application in a wide variety of situations including chlorination valves. In the case of automobiles, the valve used to vent fuel in the case of an accident can be triggered by mechanical means, such as an airbag deployment sensor system. | 06-10-2010 |
20130008993 | Modular compter cable spool - Keeping computer, router and switch cables organized can be challenging as cables may have excess length which can become entangled with each other and which can be susceptible to damage. The enclosed invention relates to a modular spool. Many copies of the spool may be linked together to a large number with ease and convenience. They may also be easily separated for convenient maintenance. Each spool has a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other end, so that one spool design can result in large lengths of connected spools. The spools may be connected by a bayonet style system or by screws or pins after alignment with a notch and key system. | 01-10-2013 |

At least one group shared secret is provisioned on a plurality of requesting devices, which are further provided with other authentication credentials such as a shared secret for full authentication by the authenticating device. When authentication is sought, the requesting device transmits a pre-authentication request comprising one of the group shared secrets to the authenticating device, which verifies that group shared secret. The group shared secrets may be stored in volatile memory at the authenticating device. If the group shared secret is verified, the authenticating device will authenticate that same device in response to a subsequent authentication request. | 10-11-2012 |

20100187237 | Cryogenic Liquid Tank - A hydrogen storage tank for a hydrogen fueled aircraft. The tank has a wall made of layers of aerogel sections around a hard shell layer, sealed within a flexible outer layer, and having the air removed to form a vacuum. The periphery of each layer section abuts other sections of that layer, but only overlies the periphery of the sections of other layers at individual points. The wall is characterized by a thermal conductivity that is lower near its gravitational top than its gravitational bottom. The tank has two exit passageways, one being direct, and the other passing through a vapor shield that extends through the wall between two layers of aerogel. A control system controls the relative flow through the two passages to regulate the boil-off rate of the tank. | 07-29-2010 |

20160132800 | Business Relationship Accessing - A computer method and system provide means for inputting, verifying and outputting business relationship data to a user. The system comprises a database of business relationships between organizations, some of which are marked as visible or hidden. The system applies an algorithm to determine which relationships to verify. A user may search for an organization according to search criteria and the system will select a set of organizations that match the criteria. Web content is displayed based on the verification and visibility status of the relationships. | 05-12-2016 |
20160132811 | Influential Peers - A computer method and system provide means for identifying influential organizations in a business network. The system comprises a database of business relationships between organizations. The system applies algorithms to determine which organizations are influential to others. In response to a user searching for a product, service or organization, the system determines which product, service or organization are recorded in the database as connected to an influential organization. | 05-12-2016 |
20160132901 | Ranking Vendor Data Objects - A system and method of providing web pages of ranked organization to a user. The user may update data about an organization which will cause the ranking to be changed and the webpage regenerated. The system may inform the user or other users of changes to the ranking. | 05-12-2016 |

20080268838 | Mobile interactive satellite services - A system for providing mobile interactive satellite services includes a satellite operable to communicate with mobile units, a terrestrial base transceiver station operable to communicate with mobile units, and a ground station in communication with the satellite and the terrestrial base transceiver station to provide mobile interactive satellite services. The mobile interactive satellite services include a multicast component and an interactive component such that the ground station provides both the multicast component and the interactive component using the satellite, with the terrestrial base transceiver station used to provide an ancillary terrestrial component. A device for communicating with a mobile interactive satellite service system includes an antenna, a transceiver coupled to the antenna and operable to communicate with a mobile interactive satellite service system, a user input device, an output device, a processor unit, and a network interface. The processor unit is coupled to the user input device, the output device, and the transceiver such that the processor is operable to output received information from the transceiver using the output device, to receive interactive information from the user input device, and to transmit data based on the received interactive information using the transceiver. The network interface is coupled to the processor such that the processor is operable to side load information. | 10-30-2008 |
20150057881 | Method And System For Integrated Assistance Services - A method and an apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention includes a controller to process a travel assistance request for communication through a satellite and terrestrial mobile communication network. Data related to multiple assistance providers can be received in response to the request. At least one criterion can be processed for the assistance providers based on, for example, historical trip data. The assistance providers can be graphically represented for user selection based on the criterion. Data related to a selected assistance provider can be displayed, including navigation data to and/or from the assistance provider. In another embodiment, the travel assistance request can be communicated to a service center through the network. The service center can communicate data related to an assistance provider, including navigation data to and/or from the assistance provider. A rating of the assistance provider can be communicated to a specified community-of-interest through the network. | 02-26-2015 |
