| 20090027665 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IN-SITU MACHINERY INSPECTION - Methods and systems for inspecting rotatable machine components are provided. The system includes a fiber optic port configured to extend through a first aperture of a machine casing wherein the port includes an interior end and an exterior end. The system further includes an imager configured to optically couple to the exterior end. The imager includes a light intensifier capable of generate images of inspection components though the port using ambient light. The imager further includes an image capture gate configured to control an acquisition time of the generated images. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20100058758 | EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM, TURBOMACHINE SYSTEM HAVING THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM AND EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION CONTROL METHOD - An exhaust gas recirculation system that includes an exhaust gas recirculation regulator operatively connectable to a turbomachine system, and regulating a predetermined amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated. The exhaust gas recirculation system further includes a measuring unit that measures fuel composition of incoming fuel, and a control unit connected to the EGR regulator and the measuring unit, and determining a Wobbe Index and/or reactivity of the incoming fuel based on the measured fuel composition and determining the predetermined amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated based on the determined Wobbe Index and/or reactivity. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100071878 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING USING SYSTEM EXHAUST - A method for operating a system comprising a number of fluid streams and a number of components include a device is provided.

| 20100050143 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ROUTING - Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program product for routing, modeling routes, and measuring congestion. In some embodiments, Gcells are implemented with reduced number of nodes to facilitate route modeling and congestion measurement. Some embodiments are particularly suitable for direct congestion and routing analysis of diagonal routing paths. In this way, congestion analysis can be directly performed along diagonal boundaries for diagonal routes, without requiring association with Gcell boundaries on Manhattan routing layers. | 02-25-2010 |
