| 20090143915 | Environmental control system - A system for providing outside air to a space for dilution of contaminants within the space. The system includes an air handler that supplies a flow of outside air to the space and an occupancy detector that calculates the occupancy of people in the space. Also included is a processor that determines a flow rate set point for the outside air for the space based on the occupancy in the space, the floor area of the space, and the flow of outside air supplied by the air handler. An air flow controller is provided that modulates the air flow from the air handler to the space. An open protocol network is connected to the air handler, the occupancy detector, and the air flow controller, and the processor dynamically calculates the outdoor air flow rate set point. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20090288927 | MULTI-AREA CLUTCH ASSEMBLY - A torque transmitting assembly includes an actuator for engaging a torque transmitting element. A mechanism is connected to the actuator. The mechanism is operable to selectively allow fluid communication therethrough. The mechanism communicates between two separate fluid spaces located on opposite sides of the actuator. During movement of the actuator, a fluid is allowed to transfer through the mechanism between the two separate fluid spaces. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100099537 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION - The present invention provides a control system for a dual clutch automatic transmission having a torque converter. The transmission provides seven forward speeds or gear ratios and reverse. The control system includes a hydraulic pump, a pressure regulator assembly and control valves that provide and release pressurized hydraulic fluid to the torque converter, a pair of input clutches and eight synchronizer clutches. A first pair of control valves are high flow rate valves which are capable of rapidly engaging and disengaging the input clutches. A second pair of high flow rate valves, control valves and spool valves provide a branching control circuit which controls engagement and disengagement of the synchronizer clutches. A control valve linked to the shift lever blocks hydraulic fluid flow to the first pair of high flow rate valves to inhibit input clutch activation when the shift lever is in Park or Neutral. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20090255006 | Transgenic Zebrafish - Transgenic zebrafish containing sqt genomic sequences driving expression of a reporter gene are provided. This line faithfully reproduces the spatiotemporal expression pattern of endogenous sqt, and at the late blastula stage is expressed in the YSL as well as in the blastomeres. The data show that expression in embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues is controlled by separable regulatory elements, including at least two elements that mediate the response to Nodal signals in different cell types. An element upstream of the transcription start site mediates the response to Nodal signaling specifically in the EVL cells. By contrast, a conserved Nodal response element (NRE) in the first introns is required for transgene expression in the blastomeres. The data show that expression of the transgene in the blastomeres depends on Nodal signaling activity. Furthermore, expression of sqt and cyc in the blastomeres depends upon Nodal signals from the YSL. These experiments suggest that Nodal signals in the YSL act to induce nodal-related gene expression in the embryo margin by activating the Nodal autoregulatory pathway. Targeted depletion of Nodal signals from the YSL results in embryos lacking endoderm and head mesoderm, similar to the defects observed in mice lacking Nodal function in the visceral endoderm. Thus, the data provides strong genetic evidence for the functional conservation between the YSL and the visceral endoderm. This suggests a common evolutionary origin for teleost and mammalian extra-embryonic tissues, despite their profound morphological differences. | 10-08-2009 |
