20100057415 | COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK FOR MODELING - A modeling solution, which enables various users to create, use, and evaluate models, such as scientific models, in various scenarios is provided. To this extent, the modeling solution can define a model using one or more model components, each of which is configured to implement a modeling function using a set of standard execution rules. Additionally, the modeling solution can manage attribute data for each model/model component, which can include evaluation data for the corresponding model/model component. A user can review the attribute data and decide on a model/model component to use in a scenario. Subsequently, the user can provide initialization data for the scenario. The scenario can be executed, and result data for the scenario can be stored together with the initialization data. Users also can evaluate the scenario. In an embodiment, multiple users are classified into multiple tiers, and evaluation data is managed for each tier, thereby allowing users to effectively evaluate the model/model component among groups of users with similar concerns. | 03-04-2010 |
20130283647 | AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE SKID RECOVERY SYSTEM - Disclosed is a vehicle skid recovery system, which is able to accelerate skid recovery, when an automotive vehicle begins to skid as a result of ice accumulation on the road surface. The embodiments control operation of ice removers (e.g., blades or heaters), which are mounted within the wheel wells forward of the wheel, based on information received from the vehicle's outside temperature sensor and anti-lock braking system (ABS). When the temperature sensor indicates that the outside temperature is below a predetermined temperature (e.g., below freezing) and when the anti-lock braking system is activated as a result of detected skid, a controller activates the ice remover in one or more of the wheel wells and, thereby cause the ice remover to remove ice from the road surface forward of the corresponding wheel. Clearing the ice allows the vehicle's tires to gain traction on the road surface and, thereby stops the skid. | 10-31-2013 |

20100328885 | Rotatable Cooling Module - A rotatable cooling module includes a cooling coil. An input line is coupled to the cooling coil via a coupler that allows the cooling coil to rotate independent of the input line. An output line is coupled to the cooling coil via a second coupler that allows the cooling coil to rotate independent of the output line. A coolant flows through the input line and the first coupler and passes through the cooling coil, which removes heat from an electronic assembly to which the cooling unit is attached. The coolant then flows through the second coupler and through the output line and returns to a heat exchanger, which cools the liquid before recirculating through the cooling unit. The couplers are disposed about a single axis which allows the cooling module to be rotated, and the couplers prevent damage from occurring to any of the elements of the cooling module. | 12-30-2010 |
