| 20110265642 | Double-Acting Subterranean Pump - The invention relates to a double-acting pump system for use in moving a fluid. The pump system includes a means for inputting power at a location remote from the double-acting pump. The system allows for manual power input, such as through a local pumping unit. The double-acting pump may define an interior volume and include a first end chamber in fluid communication with the local pumping unit, a second end chamber in fluid communication with the local pumping unit, a central chamber having a separating section, and a driving element (e.g., a double-ended piston) slidably located within the interior volume of the double-acting pump. The separating section may include an inlet valve section (e.g., two inlet valves) and an outlet valve section (e.g., two outlet valves). | 11-03-2011 |

| 20080258547 | AIRCRAFT BRAKE CONTROL ARCHITECTURE HAVING IMPROVED POWER DISTRIBUTION AND REDUNDANCY - An electromechanical braking system for an aircraft, including a first power conversion module (PCM) and a second power conversion module (PCM), each configured to receive power from a respective independent power source on the aircraft. The system further includes at least one brake system control unit (BSCU) for converting an input brake command signal into a brake clamp force command signal. At least a first brake control module (BCM) and a second brake control module (BCM) are provided, each configured to receive the brake clamp force command signal from the at least one BSCU and to output a primary brake clamp force command signal and an alternate brake clamp force command signal based on the received brake clamp force command signal. A first electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) and a second electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) are provided, each configured to convert a brake clamp force command signal to at least one electromechanical actuator drive control signal. The first EMAC is operative based on the primary brake clamp force command signal from the first BCM or, in the event of a failure disabling the first BCM, based on the alternate brake clamp force command signal from the second BCM. The second EMAC is operative based on the primary brake clamp force command signal from the first BCM or, in the event of a failure disabling the first BCM, based on the alternate brake clamp force command signal from the second BCM. The first EMAC receives its operating power from the first PCM, and the second EMAC receives its operating power from the second PCM. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080258548 | AIRCRAFT BRAKE CONTROL ARCHITECTURE HAVING IMPROVED ANTISKID REDUNDANCY - According to the present invention, an electromechanical braking system is provided. The braking system includes at least one brake system control unit (BSCU) for converting an input brake command signal into a brake clamp force command signal. In addition, the braking system includes a first electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) and a second electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) configured to receive the brake clamp force command signal from the at least one BSCU and to convert the brake clamp force command signal to at least one electromechanical actuator drive control signal. Further, the braking system includes at least one electromechanical actuator configured to receive the at least one drive control signal and to apply a brake clamp force to at least one wheel to be braked in response to the at least one drive control signal. Moreover, the first EMAC and the second EMAC are configured to perform antiskid control in relation to the at least one wheel to be braked. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100250467 | PORTFOLIO CONFIRMATION AND CERTIFICATION PLATFORM - A system and method for confirmation of hedge fund information, comprising performing an asset/liability confirmation by comparing corroborating data received from a third party independent of the hedge fund to a list of hedge fund assets/liabilities to identify third party confirmed assets/liabilities that correspond to the corroborating data. A price input confirmation is performed to identify a fund-provided value of an asset/liability as a confirmed value when it substantially corresponds a third party value of each asset/liability. Assigning a unique identifier to a confirmation instance and associated the unique identifier to a report identifying the proportion of the fund's NAV attributable to the total value of third party confirmed assets/liabilities and attributable to the total confirmed value of assets/liabilities. A second report identifying generated risk and/or performance data includes the unique identifier to certify that the asset/liability and price input confirmations have been performed. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090156946 | BLOOD PRESSURE MOTION SENSING - The invention relates to a blood pressure monitor for measuring the blood pressure of a person including a blood pressure cuff. The blood pressure monitor also includes an electro-pneumatic package. The electro-pneumatic package includes a pump, a valve, a pressure sensor, and one or more accelerometers. A pneumatic mechanical coupling is configured to pneumatically and mechanically directly couple the blood pressure cuff to the electro-pneumatic package, wherein a signal from the one or more accelerometers configured to indicate an activity level of the person during a blood pressure measurement. A display is configured to display an indication of the activity level. The invention also relates to a blood pressure monitor wherein an electronics circuit is configured to receive the motion signal from the one or more accelerometers during a blood pressure measurement. The invention also relates to a method for detecting a motion artifact in a non-invasive blood pressure measurement. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090318818 | BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM - A blood pressure monitoring system that includes a compact housing that contains a pneumatic circuit that is removably attached to an inflatable cuff by a hoseless connector so that the cuff can be inflated and deflated to provide blood pressure readings that are detected by a pressure sensor. A controller is also contained in the housing which controls the circuit activities and records blood pressure related data. The controller is linked via a bidirectional communication system with a processor that is contained in a host station which programs the controller and collects and records blood pressure related data. The communication system also allows the monitoring system to communicate over a wider network with other remote stations. | 12-24-2009 |
