Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110200324METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL CONNECTION VALIDATION - An optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) having an Add path for adding optical channel signals input through a plurality of Add ports to an outbound dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) signal, and a Drop path for switching selected channels from an inbound DWDM signal to one or more of a plurality of Drop ports. The OADM has a loopback connection between the Add path and the Drop path. The loopback connection couples a selected loopback channel wavelength from the Add path to the Drop path. The physical connection between a transceiver and the OADM can be verified by connecting the transmitter to an Add port of the OADM and the receiver to a Drop port of the OADM. The OADM is controlled to switch the selected loopback channel wavelength in the Drop path to at least one intended drop port to which the receiver should be connected, and the transmitter is controlled to transmit a predetermined test signal using the loopback channel wavelength. Detecting the test signal by the receiver verifies that the receiver is connected to the at least one intended drop port.08-18-2011

20120176074SYSTEM FOR DECOUPLING A ROTOR FROM A STATOR OF A PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR AND FLYWHEEL STORAGE SYSTEM USING THE SAME - A system for decoupling a rotor from a stator of a permanent magnet motor and a flywheel storage system using the same are provided. The flywheel storage system uses the permanent magnet motor as a magnetic active coupler to minimize magnetic losses in flywheel energy storage system during the motor-generator electric power transfer for enabling a magnetic field weakening method and a way of cancelling the losses during a conservative mode where the stator is totally decoupled from the rotor. Also, the present invention enables the optimal sizing of a permanent motor-generator to be able to supply a constant power over a large range of rotating speeds.07-12-2012
20120187922ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD - An system for storing electrical energy over at least a medium term duration. The energy storage system comprises a motor assembly operatively connectable to at least one of an electrical energy source and an electrical distribution network for providing kinetic energy, a flywheel device operatively connectable to the motor assembly for storing at least one part of the kinetic energy, a generator assembly operatively connectable to the flywheel device for receiving at least one portion of the part of the kinetic energy and generating regenerated electrical energy in response thereto, and a control unit for controlling operation of the energy storage system, which enables an energy storage operating mode for storing the part of the kinetic energy into the flywheel device, and an energy supply operating mode for providing at least one portion of the regenerated energy to at least one of the electrical distribution network and an electrical appliance.07-26-2012
20120198960HIGH ENERGY DENSITY FLYWHEEL - A high energy density flywheel has a central rotating axle for storing kinetic energy. The flywheel comprises a first member to be operatively mounted around the axle. The first member comprises a first material having a given high mass density enabling a given high kinetic energy storage capacity. The flywheel comprises a second member operatively attached to the first member. The second member surrounds an outside portion of the first member subject to radial forces generated by a rotation of the flywheel. The second member comprises a second material having a given high yield strength enabling a given high maximum rotational speed. The second member enables an operation of the flywheel at a given high flywheel rotational speed greater than the rotational speed that would be allowed by the maximal yield strength of the first material, to thereby provide the flywheel with a given high kinetic energy storage capacity.08-09-2012
20120201066DUAL SWITCHING FREQUENCY HYBRID POWER CONVERTER - A dual switching frequency hybrid power converter comprising two different types of power switching element switching at two different frequencies is presented for DC-to-AC and AC-to-DC voltage conversion and for monophase or multi-phase devices with the aim of reducing considerably the conduction and switching losses of those power switching elements. The dual switching frequency hybrid power converter also enables a DC to DC voltage conversion as well as an AC to AC voltage conversion.08-09-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090213136Color sampler - A method for selecting a desired color from a screen display using a color selection tool that may appear as an eyedropper. Rather than independently choosing pixels or a matrix of pixels, the user blends a color by selecting pixels using a mouse cursor. In response, the color of each selected pixel is incrementally blended into the current color at a constant rate. That is, each selected pixel is blended with the current color according to a constant blending factor. In this manner, the current color changes at a constant rate with the contribution of each successive pixel. This approach allows the user to gradually blend colors from the screen display, much as a painter would gradually mix colors on a palette.08-27-2009

20080302029Sealing Structure - The present invention provides a sealing structure for a loading dock opening, consisting of two flexible side seals on opposite sides with a sealing form and mounted in a vertical orientation to a frame, and a curtain-like head seal also affixed to the frame, which is affixed to the loading dock walls. Taken together, the sealing structure sealingly engages the cargo body such that weather elements do not enter the warehouse or truck body but goods can be moved between the cargo body and the warehouse. The seal is deformable but resilient, forming a seal when in contact with the truck cargo body, which has shape memory and stiffness to revert to its original form when it no longer contacts the truck cargo body.12-11-2008
