| 20110239654 | ANGLED SEAL COOLING SYSTEM - An aft liner seal for a combustor for a gas turbine includes an inner shell having an inner and outer surface and central axis. The aft liner seal has an outer shell positioned over the inner shell that has an inner and outer surface and central axis coaxial with the inner shell. One of the outer surface of the inner shell or the inner surface of the outer shell has grooves angled relative to the central axis. The angled grooves and adjacent portions of the inner surface of the outer shell or the outer surface of the inner shell form cooling passages. The cooling air exits the cooling passages at an exit angle that is matched to a swirl angle of the combustor flow. Matching of the exit angle and the swirl angle minimizes shear of cooling air with respect to flow exiting the combustor liner. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20090042151 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLAME STABILIZATION AND CONTROL - A system and method for providing continuous measurement and control of a combustion device by altering the fuel composition delivered thereto. The system includes devices for sensing combustion characteristics or other device characteristics, and controlling the performance of the combustion device based on the sensed information. Performance control occurs via addition of one or more additives to the fuel to adjust combustion characteristics. Via such sensing and performance control, consistent combustion device performance may be maintained, despite varying fuel characteristics. In one variation, -characteristics of the combustion device in operation, such as flame characteristics, are sensed and used to adjust fuel characteristics via iterative addition of one or more additives. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110000472 | IGNITION COIL - An ignition apparatus includes a core, primary and secondary windings and a loop-shaped magnetic return path structure. The structure includes layers of wound strip steel or wound ferritic wire stacked in an outward fashion. The core is placed in an interior of the loop forming at least one air gap between a core end surfaces and the structure. A combined core and magnetic return path structure includes a continuous loop formed by winding ferritic wire either on a spool or on a mandrel and is then bonded. The bonded winding is cut to form two C-shaped portions. Each C-shaped portion has a central yoke that extends into a pair of parallel legs. The C-shaped portions are re-assembled over primary and second windings so that the legs form a pair of parallel branches. One branch acts as the core and the other branch acts as the magnetic return path. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20080276918 | INTEGRATED IGNITION COIL AND OIL SEAL FOR HEAD AND CAM COVER - An ignition apparatus includes an oil seal integrated with a spark plug boot and configured to mate with a cylinder head so as to seal the oil that is found under the cam cover from the spark plug and high voltage terminal of the plug. The cylinder head includes a ring-cavity recessed in the head surrounding the spark plug. The spark plug boot includes an annular sealing rib on a lowermost axial end. The sealing rib is configured in size and shape to effect an interference fit in the ring cavity. The ignition apparatus includes another seal integrated at the top to seal to the cam cover.

| 20090066464 | IGNITION APPARATUS HAVING BONDED STEEL WIRE CENTRAL CORE - An ignition apparatus includes a transformer having a central core, a primary winding disposed thereabout, a secondary winding disposed outwardly of the primary winding, a case configured to house the central components, and an outer core or shield disposed outwardly of the secondary winding. The central core is formed from multiple, low carbon steel wires held together is a cylindrical shape with cured bond coating material such as an epoxy material or an aromatic polyamide material. In one configuration, at least two different sizes of wires are used in forming the core to increase the density of the magnetically-permeable wire material in the core. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100132677 | IGNITION APPARATUS WITH CYLINDRICAL CORE AND LAMINATED RETURN PATH - An ignition apparatus includes a cylindrical core made from magnetically-permeable material and a C-shaped magnetic return path structure that is made from a stack of silicon steel laminations. A tightly controlled air gap is provided between one leg of the C-shaped structure and an end face of the core, forming a magnetic circuit having a high magnetic permeability, which overall reduces the number of primary winding turns needed, thereby reducing the amount of copper wire. In addition, the circular cross-section of the core reduces the mean length per turn (MLT) of the primary winding because the primary winding can be wound directly on the core, which in turn also reduces the MLT of the secondary winding. The reduced MLT also reduces the amount of copper wire. The structure may be replaced using a magnetically-permeable, U-shaped shield. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100070432 | REPORT GENERATOR APPARATUS FOR ALLOWING A FINANCIAL ENTITY TO MONITOR SECURITIES CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND POTENTIAL MONETARY CLAIMS RESULTING THEREFROM - Reports are automatically created of securities class action lawsuits customized to show potential monetary claims resulting from the lawsuits for securities purchased or acquired by one or more financial entities. To produce the reports, a database of securities class action lawsuits is maintained. The lawsuit database includes a subset of securities class action lawsuits that are deemed to be noteworthy by the entity that administers the system. A comparison is made for each financial entity of transaction activity of the financial entity with records in the database subset of securities class action lawsuits to identify any securities purchased or acquired by the financial entity that are associated with a securities class action lawsuit in the lawsuit database and which may provide a potential monetary claim for the financial entity. A report is then created for each financial entity showing the noteworthy lawsuits. For the lawsuits that were identified as providing a potential monetary claim for the financial entity and which are deemed to be noteworthy, the report includes the potential monetary claim for the financial entity based on the transaction activity of the financial entity. A similar process occurs for creating a watchlist report of securities class action lawsuits of interest to financial entities customized to show potential monetary claims resulting from the lawsuits for securities purchased or acquired by one or more financial entities. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20090286268 | Assays for Cancer Patient Monitoring Based on Levels of Analyte Components of the Plasminogen Activator System in Body Fluid Samples - The present invention describes clinically and medically important methods of examining, screening over time, and monitoring the outcome of a cancer patient who is undergoing treatment or therapy for his or her disease. More specifically, the invention provides a method of monitoring the progression of disease, or the effectiveness of cancer treatment, in a cancer patient by measuring the levels of one or more analytes of the plasminogen activator (uPA) system, namely, uPA, PAI-1 and the complex of uPA:PAI-1, in a sample taken from the cancer patient, preferably, before treatment, at the start of treatment, and at various time intervals during treatment. As a result of performing the method, an increase or elevation in the levels of one or more of the PA system analytes in the cancer patient compared with the levels one or more of the respective PA system analytes in normal control individuals serves as an indicator of cancer advancement or progression and/or a lack of treatment effectiveness for the patient. | 11-19-2009 |
