20080289211Method of drying roving products - A system and method of drying wet items including roving packages, cakes and bobbins of wound wet glass fibers and/or wet glass fiber strand(s) by first preheating the wet items using waste hot gases coming from any source including a glass furnace, a dryer or a heat engine operating to generate electrical power prior to removing much, most or all of the moisture in the wet roving packages, cakes and bobbins using a dielectric or microwave oven, to save energy, reduce drying costs and to increase the capacity of dielectric or microwave dryers.11-27-2008
20080289364Method and system for preheating glass batch or ingredient(s) - The invention includes a method and system for heating one or more ingredients of a glass batch or the entire glass batch that is then used to make molten glass using waste hot gases from a system for generating electricity using a drive for an electrical generator that is powered by a heat engine that exhaust waste hot gases having a temperature of at least about 200 degrees C. At least a portion of the electricity generated can be used to power manufacturing plant equipment and the waste hot exhaust gases exhausted by the heat engine, such as a gas turbine, is used in a static or dynamic heat exchanger to heat the entire glass batch or one or more of the ingredients of the glass batch, prior to feeding the glass batch into a glass melting furnace.11-27-2008
20080289788Method of drying mat products - The invention includes a method and system for generating electricity using a drive for the electrical generator that is powered by an engine that uses high pressure hot gases produced by combustion of a fuel and an oxygen bearing gas, using at least a portion of the electricity generated to power manufacturing plant equipment and using the waste hot exhaust gases from the heat engine, such as a gas turbine, with or without a heat exchanger, in an oven in which the mat is carried through continuously on a belt, drum or with other conventional means to dry the wet fibrous mats. Optionally the fibrous mats can contain a binder and the hot waste gases can be optionally used to cure a binder.11-27-2008

20090192019FOUNDATION BRAKE HILL START AIDE SYSTEM - An exemplary embodiment of a Hill Start Aide system for a vehicle includes a brake system. The brake system including a brake actuator for manually actuating the brake system. The brake system is selectively configurable in a stopped configuration, where the brake system is manually maintained via the brake actuator such that a vehicle road wheel speed is about zero rpm, a released configuration, where the brake system will not generally inhibit rotation of at least one vehicle road wheel, and a control stop configuration, where the vehicle road wheel speed is about zero rpm. The Hill Start Aide system also includes a controller for at least partially controlling the brake system. The controller will selectively send a signal to maintain the brake system in the control stopped configuration when the brake actuator is manually released. The controller will send a signal to the brake system to release the brakes when a predetermined amount of time has elapsed after a transmission is manually shifted to a neutral configuration while the brake system is in the control stopped configuration.07-30-2009
