| 20080211234 | Power Towers/Innovative Method of Power Extraction Using Static Airfoils - An airfoil shaped tower the size of a skyscraper for the production of electrical power using turbines. The turbines are located at the base of the tower and are fed by ambient air. Power to turn the turbines comes from the pressure drop generated by the wind moving over a changing surface of the airfoil. (Bernoulli's Equation). The areas of negative pressure on the exterior surface are covered by a plurality of bleeder vents that conduct air from the high-pressure (ambient air) interior to the low-pressure exterior. The invention is further improved by the construction of several towers in close proximity. Adjacent towers augment the air velocity thus increasing the pressure differential. The power of the turbines is greatly increased because power is proportional to the effective wind velocity cubed. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20100111788 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING OXIDIZED MERCURY INTO ELEMENTAL MERCURY - An oxidized mercury converter utilizes a combination of heat, reduced pressure, and dilution when converting oxidized mercury in a gas sample into elemental mercury. The converter applies heat to a gas sample to thermally convert oxidized mercury within a gas sample into elemental mercury and an oxidizing component, and thereafter reduces the pressure of the gas sample to minimize combination of the elemental mercury with other oxidizing compounds present in the gas sample and/or with byproducts of the thermal conversion (e.g., the oxidizing components). The converter thus allows an accurate analysis of the total amount of mercury, both oxidized and elemental forms, present within a gas sample without the need to use consumable reagents in the mercury conversion process. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20100116453 | INTEGRATED QUIESCENT PROCESSING OF MELTS - A quiescent melt handling system includes a melting furnace and a holding furnace communicating with the melting furnace for holding a molten metal melt. The holding furnace has a relatively large surface area and a relatively shallow depth, having a width to depth ratio in the range of 4-100 to 1. Also provided is structure in the holding furnace for separating inclusions from the melt in the holding furnace. A mold communicates with the holding furnace. A counter gravity casting system, which might comprise a vacuum assisted casting system, draws the melt into the mold. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20090138629 | Utilizing Programmable Channels for Allocation of Buffer Space and Transaction Control in Data Communications - A control mechanism for data bus communications employs channels to which bus transactions are assigned, each channel having independent flow control. The control mechanism enforces an ordering algorithm among channels, whereby at least some transactions may pass other transactions. Channel attributes are programmable to vary the ordering conditions. Preferably, each channel is allocated its own programmable buffer area. The control mechanism independently determines, for each channel, whether buffer space is available and enforces flow control independently for each channel accordingly. Flow control is preferably credit-based, credits representing buffer space or some other capacity of a receiver to receive data. Preferably, the flow control mechanism comprises a central interconnect module controlling internal communications of an integrated circuit chip. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090213735 | SYSTEM TO IMPROVE DATA PACKET ROUTING IN A DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A system to improve data packet routing in a data processing device may include a plurality of functional modules, and communication buses connecting the functional modules. The system may also include a flow control mechanism in which command packets that traverse the communication buses are each assigned their own channel with their own pool of credits. The system may further include a switch to route data packets on the communication buses from one of the functional modules to any other of the functional modules based upon the credits. In addition, any of the functional modules without credits to send the data packets on a particular channel may send a message to have the switch perform a route test. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20090126715 | Gas cooking appliance with removable burners and useable work area - A gas cooking appliance for use with at least one removable burner, the cooking appliance including a structural housing supporting a cooktop surface having at least one convertible area for use with the at least one removable burner. When the at least one removable burner is operable with the cooking appliance, it resides above the convertible area and is supplied a fuel mixture from the cooking appliance by a gas-to-air type fuel supplier. According to various preferred embodiments there are provided a gas shutoff device for stopping the flow of gaseous fuel to the removable gas burner when the burner is relocated or not properly installed to the appliance proper; and an interlock so that during cooking, the removable burner does not move about in an unsafe way. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20080304482 | Device and method for communicating with a legacy device, network or application - A translation device allows communication between two entities that are not compatible. The two entities can include a legacy entity that uses an address format not compatible with a newer entity. The translation device receives a packet for the legacy entity and converts its address to one that is compatible with the legacy entity. The translation device may use different processes to convert the address in accordance with messaging protocols, packet configuration or the destination address desired. Once the packet includes a compatible address, the device sends the packet to the legacy entity. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090063941 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING REDUNDANCY TO EXCHANGE DATA IN A MULTICAST OR ONE WAY ENVIRONMENT - A system for use in one-way communications takes data from a source and parses it into work units. The work units may have a fixed size. The data of the work units is given to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) library. The RAID library applies parity to the data and produces a number of output streams. Each stream includes data from the work units and redundant data from the parity application. The streams are combined and sent over a network. The inverse parity is applied on the receiving side to recreate the data. The redundant data is used in place of any data having an error condition, such as being lost or corrupted. The data is reconstructed on the receiving end without the need to resend data. | 03-05-2009 |
