| 20110163018 | HYDROGEN COOLED GENERATOR LUBRICANT DRAIN SYSTEM - A hydrogen cooled generator includes a lubricant drain system. The lubricant drain system includes a hydrogen detraining tank having a hollow interior portion. A sensor is operatively mounted in the hydrogen detraining tank. The sensor is configured and disposed to detect an interface zone between an amount of lubricant and an amount of hydrogen gas in the hollow interior portion. A drain line is fluidly coupled to the hydrogen detraining tank. The drain line includes a first end portion that is exposed in the hollow interior portion and a second end portion. A valve is mounted in the drain line. A controller is operatively connected to the sensor and the valve. The controller is configured to selectively open the valve allowing a portion of the amount of lubricant to flow from the hollow interior portion when the interface zone is above the first end portion of the drain line. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110210628 | HYDROGEN CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC GENERATOR - Systems for controlling hydrogen purity in a power plant system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a hydrogen control system for a generator housing includes: a mass flow control system fluidly connected to the generator housing, the mass flow control system being configured to measure a flow rate of a gas mixture extracted from the generator housing and modify the flow rate of the gas mixture across a range of flow rates; and a vent conduit fluidly connected to the mass flow control system, the vent conduit for receiving a portion of the gas mixture from the mass flow control system and feeding the portion of the gas mixture to an outlet. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110231111 | TURBINE-GENERATOR HYDROGEN SEAL OIL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS - A hydrogen cooled generator having a system for diagnosing problems associated with a seal oil system. Included is a shaft having a turbine end and a collector end; a first shaft seal located about the shaft at the turbine end; a second shaft seal located about the shaft at the collector end; a first set of sensors for measuring seal oil pressure differentials across both shaft seals; a second set of sensors for measuring seal oil temperature differentials across both shaft seals; a third sensor for measuring a hydrogen side seal oil flow rate; and a system for analyzing data collected from at least two sensors to diagnose the shaft seals. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20090006466 | MANAGING EXTENSIBLE VALUE TYPES IN SPREADSHEET CELLS - Individual cells within a spreadsheet may contain an extensible value as defined by an extensible value type. The extensible value type is a third party user defined value type that is incorporated into the spreadsheet as a supported data type. When the extensible value type is defined, an associated set of functions are developed to operate on the type. The spreadsheet manages instances of these extensible values such that they are properly maintained by the spreadsheet application while in use and released from memory when they are no longer in use. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20090186016 | AUGMENTATION OF ENDOTHELIAL THROMBORESISTANCE - Stretch-induced increased hemodynamic load adversely affects endothelial cell function and is an important contributor to thromboembolus formation in heart failure, valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, venous insufficiency, and pulmonary hypertension, and in thrombus occluded vein grafts. Local thrombus formation and thromboenbolic events can be reduced by inhibiting the TGF-beta signaling pathway or TGF-beta per se. Inhibitors can be administered to patients or veins (prior to interposition) at risk for thromboembolic events or local thrombus formation. Inhibitors can be applied to harvested veins to be used as arterial grafts. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20090016609 | Method for detection and recognition of fog presence within an aircraft compartment using video images - Detecting video phenomena, such as fire in an aircraft cargo bay, includes receiving a plurality of video images from a plurality of sources, compensating the images to provide enhanced images, extracting features from the enhanced images, and combining the features from the plurality of sources to detect the video phenomena. Extracting features may include determining an energy indicator for each of a subset of the plurality of frames. Detecting video phenomena may also include comparing energy indicators for each of the subset of the plurality of frames to a reference frame. The reference frame corresponds to a video frame taken when no fire is present, video frame immediately preceding each of the subset of the plurality of frames, or a video frame immediately preceding a frame that is immediately preceding each of the subset of the plurality of frames. Image-based and non-image based techniques are described herein in connection with fire detection and/or verification and other applications. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20110238273 | Method of Aligning a Transmission Synchronizer - The present disclosure relates to methods of detecting misalignment in a transmission synchronizer and methods of alignment. Detection of misalignment is accomplished via monitoring a performance characteristic of a power source configured to provide an engagement force to the synchronizer. Where misalignment is detected a predetermined torque is applied to the input or output side of the synchronizer to rotationally align synchronizer components. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20110251859 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to Facilitating Administration of a Fixed Annuity Having a Long-Term Care Rider - Administering a fixed annuity having a long-term care (LTC) rider includes calculating, at a time of an insured party entering a claim period for LTC benefits and as a function of a value of a fixed annuity for an annuitant, an available insurance amount for an LTC benefit. This fixed-annuity value can comprise a present value of the fixed annuity at the time the insured party enters the claim period. These teachings will also accommodate calculating the total LTC benefits by summing the value of the fixed annuity with the value of the fixed annuity as multiplied by a multiplier. LTC benefits can be paid by apportioning a first part of the payment against the fixed annuity itself while apportioning a second part of the payment against an available insurance amount. Following depletion of the annuity, however, one can then apportion such payments only against the available insurance amount until exhausted. | 10-13-2011 |
