20100015267Dies for Making Extruded Synthetic Wood and Methods Relating Thereto - The present invention is directed to extrusion dies for making extruded synthetic wood and methods relating thereto. The dies include adapter dies, transition dies, stranding dies, and molding dies. The adapter dies include a channel with a restricted cross-sectional area. The stranding dies include a plurality of non-uniform channels that differ in length, cross-sectional area, cross-sectional shape, or combinations thereof. The transition dies are coordinately configured with the stranding die to adjust the flow rate of the extrudate. Particular configurations of dies upstream of the molding die allow for higher compression ratios in the molding die than previously feasible. Each of the dies described herein may be used individually with standard dies known in the alt. Alternatively, the dies may be used in combination to form integrated units. The dies described herein allow for making stronger, more consistent synthetic wood at greater output rates than previously possible.01-21-2010

20100287924DUAL PUMP HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - A dual pump hydraulic system is provided for a vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a first circuit with a first high pressure pump supplying hydraulic fluid to the first subsystem at a higher pressure. The system also includes a second circuit with a second lower pressure pump supplying hydraulic fluid to the second subsystem at a second pressure. A first valve controls communication between the first pump and the second circuit. A second valve is operable to communicate the second pump with the first circuit when pressure in the first circuit is less than a second threshold pressure or when commanded by a control unit. A check valve prevents fluid flow from the first circuit back into to the second valve.11-18-2010

20080237402Aircraft trim safety system and backup controls - Methods and apparatuses that control trim of an aircraft even in the presence of conflicting trim inputs, for example by disabling the trim input switches on the aircraft when conflicting switch inputs are received. When conflicting switch inputs are received and certain time conditions are met, the controller can disable the switch inputs and provide a backup and independent means to control the trim circuitry. The pilot can be allowed to re-enable the disabled inputs.10-02-2008
20090212975In-Circuit Testing For Integrity Of Solid-State Switches - A switching and fault detection circuit comprises two controllable switches capable of coupling a power source to a load. A controller can control the switches and test them for faults, and a voltage sensor can read the output voltage going to the load. Dual-redundant switches and fault detection circuitry can provide correct operation if one should fail. Control and feedback logic can determine if each of the solid-state switches is operating correctly during the power-on and power-off cycles and can also check for a fail-open condition during normal operations. If it is determined that a solid switch has failed open or closed, a fault can be generated.08-27-2009
20090302174Variable Speed Flap Retraction and Notification - The present invention provides systems and methods for controlling the speed of flap retraction on aircraft, and alerts to the pilot of potentially unsafe flap position. The invention accepts direction from a pilot and senses operation of the aircraft to determine appropriate flap position and flap retraction speed.12-10-2009

20110114291METHOD AND REACTORS FOR GASIFICATION OF FUELS IN THE FORM OF DUST, SOLIDS, OR LIQUIDS, SUCH AS COAL, PETROLEUM COKE, OIL, TAR, OR THE LIKE - With a method for cooling units subjected to stress at high temperatures, in cooled reactors for gasification of fuels that contain carbon, using gasification media that contain oxygen, whereby the reactor walls are cooled by way of a coolant circuit, penetration of substances from the reactor into the cooling circuit in the event of possible leaks is supposed to be reliably prevented. This is achieved in that the units to be cooled, such as, for example, gasification burners, burner muffles, or the like, are equipped with an independent cooling circuit, whereby this cooling circuit is directly connected with the main cooling circuit.05-19-2011
20110132241SLAG RUNNER ON BURNERS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST DRIPPING SLAG - With a slag runner on burners or burner niches for protection against dripping slag, which occurs during the gasification of fine-particle fuels that contain ash, within a gasifier, reliable protection of the burner exits or the burner niches to prevent them from becoming clogged with slag is supposed to be made available. This is achieved in that the slag runner (06-09-2011

20110083949SWITCHING DEVICE - A switching device includes a switching appliance, a cap, at least one connecting device for firm connection of the switching appliance to the cap, and a monitoring device. In at least one embodiment, the monitoring device includes a sensor and a tripping element, whose position is variable after connection and which, when the switching appliance is ready to operate, is located in a position in which the tripping element can be detected by the sensor, the monitoring device further including a signal unit which is connected to the sensor and is used to signal operational readiness once the sensor has detected this.04-14-2011

20090219899Method for Interfacing a Second Communication Network Comprising an Access Node with a First Communication Network Comprising a Contact Node - An operational method interfaces a second communication network containing an access node with a first communication network encompassing a contact node. In a first step, an access node reads or receives an identity which is specific for the second communication network and is stored in a storage medium of a memory node. Then an interfacing message containing the identity that is specific for the second communication network is transmitted from the access node to the contact node, which is defined by an address stored in the storage medium. A packet data service to the access node is supplied by the contact node such that the second communication network is interfaced with the first communication network. An assembly and a storage medium are provided for interfacing the second communication network with the first communication network.09-03-2009

20100325289RE-ACTIVATED GROUP COMMUNICATION - An improved method for re-activating a terminated group session. A server responsible for controlling the connection stores associated participant information identifying clients that participated or were intended to participate the connection. This associated participant information is provided to the client when a negative response to the request for re-joining the connection needs to be given. The client can then re-activate the communication by re-initing the connection. The roles and responsibilities of the continued connection are more consistent and still, the task of storing the information for the continued connection takes place in the element where it is most appropriately done.12-23-2010

20110255093INTERFEROMETRIC SYSTEM WITH SPATIAL CARRIER FREQUENCY CAPABLE OF IMAGING IN POLYCHROMATIC RADIATION - In the interferometric system, the image plane is imaged by an output imaging setup via a transmission system of reflectors to the output plane and a reflection type diffraction grating is located in the image plane of an imaging setup of a reference branch. The transmission systems of reflectors are adjusted so that axes of both branches coincide at an entrance to the output plane and parallel with a normal line of the output plane, and an axial beam, diffracted by the reflection type diffraction grating at an angle α, enters into the output plane at an angle β, and the relation between angle β and α is sin(β)=sin(α)/m, where m is a magnification of the output imaging setup. The system enables the achievement of a holographic imaging of an object by low-coherence waves. Incoherent waves allow the imaging of objects immersed in scattering media.10-20-2011
