20100033119RETROFIT MOTOR SYSTEM FOR HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS - A motor control system for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications is described. The motor control system includes a thermostat and an electronically commutated motor (ECM) coupled to the thermostat. The ECM is configured to retrofit an existing non-ECM electric motor included in an HVAC application and to operate in one of a plurality of HVAC modes. The HVAC modes include at least one of a heating mode, a cooling mode, and a continuous fan mode. The HVAC mode is determined based at least partially on outputs provided by the thermostat.02-11-2010

20100320767PRESSURE GRID SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING - A pressure grid system and method suitable for obtaining and/or generating, storing, distributing and using a pressurized gas. The pressure grid system obtains and/or generates pressurized gas by using the energy from various sources, preferably natural resources such as wind power, hydro power, etc. At least a portion of the pressurized gas is stored in one or more subterranean locations, from which the pressurized gas can be transported to end users for their use, for example, by converting the energy of the pressurized gas to another form of energy, such as electrical, mechanical, and/or thermal.12-23-2010
20110089667UPPER COUPLER ASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION METHOD THEREFOR - Upper coupler assemblies for mounting coupling devices to trailers, and methods for inspecting upper coupler assemblies. The upper coupler assemblies include a housing having first and second members that define a cavity therebetween. At least the second member has a through-hole adapted to receive a coupling device, such as a kingpin. The cavity contains at least one fluid-tight chamber, more preferably multiple gas-tight and liquid-tight chambers by walls within the cavity. The coupler assembly has at least one fluid inlet for introducing and/or withdrawing a fluid (liquid and/or gas) from one or more of the chambers. The integrity of the upper coupler assembly can be evaluated by introducing or removing a gas from the one or more chambers and detecting the presence of any gas leaks in the one or more chambers.04-21-2011
