20110057601CURRENT INJECTION CIRCUIT FOR DELAYING THE FULL OPERATION OF A POWER FACTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AC INDUCTION MOTORS - An energy saver delay circuit for an induction motor is disclosed. The energy saver delay circuit includes a power factor control circuit including an integrator, the integrator having a negative summing junction and a current injection circuit electrically connected to the negative summing junction, the current injection circuit configured for injecting an offset current into the negative summing junction to cause about the maximum available voltage from a power source to be supplied to the motor for a predetermined amount of time. Current injection may be triggered by voltage being applied to the motor, wherein the voltage exceeds a predetermined value. Alternatively, current injection may be triggered by current flowing through the motor, responsive to the current exceeding a predetermined threshold current. Alternatively, current injection may be triggered by voltage across the power factor control circuit, responsive to the voltage exceeding a predetermined threshold voltage.03-10-2011

20090104827DISCONNECTABLE MOORING SYSTEM WITH VESSEL-MOUNTED TENSIONING DEVICE - A buoy recovery system for a disconnectable mooring arrangement that permits turret-buoy connection at any compass heading while preventing damage to the pull-in line and the turret assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the mooring tensioning assembly is positioned on the vessel at a location other than on the rotatable turret assembly. This permits the size of the turret assembly to be significantly reduced and the fluid swivel stack to be positioned within the vessel between its deck and keel. The improved buoy recovery system employs a hollow bore hydraulic cylinder assembly that is attached to the turret assembly and configured as a chain tensioning system. The hollow bore hydraulic cylinder assembly is arranged and designed to support the weight of the buoy and permit the turret assembly to be rotated relative to both the vessel and the buoy during mooring operations.04-23-2009

20120100996GENETIC MARKER IDENTIFICATION IN ATLANTIC COD - The present application describes SNPs useful for the genetic analysis of Atlantic cod. Also described are QTLs and SNP marker associations for commercially important traits such as weight, nodavirus resistance, resistance to stress and for determining geographic origin. The application also provides methods and uses of the SNPs for identifying family members and/or estimating relatedness, marker assisted selection, breeding programs, population management, identification of geographic origin and trait-association studies. A SNP-based linkage map for Atlantic cod is also provided.04-26-2012

20100065561Multi-Chamber Package with Tear Feature - A multiple chamber package is illustrated which includes two or more containers that are connected by a tear strip in which the tear strip is connected to each of the containers by a tear line. The container can be torn away from the tear strip to thereby provide a smaller package and as such may be more desirable for being carried around in one's pocket or otherwise. By connecting multiple containers together and using a tear strip, a large billboard area is also provided for marketing information to more easily convey information along about the contents of the package to the consumer. The overall package may be formed as a unit, single molded plastic component part with simple as opposed to complex molding techniques.03-18-2010
