20120020058Solar Powered Airfield Light - A solar-powered airfield light provides high angle light up to about 90°. A solar panel is mounted atop the enclosure but does not overlie a curved transparent shoulder extending upward from the transparent generally cylindrical side walls of the enclosure. An optical element within the enclosure surrounds an LED light source so as to direct light emanating from the LED in two preferential beams, one directed to the shoulder and the other directed to the side walls. A portion of the light impinging on the curved shoulder is redirected to high angles to comply with high angle light requirements for airfield lights.01-26-2012

20120219297APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING INFRARED SIGNALS AT A MEDIA DEVICE CONFIGURED TO BE POSITIONED IN DIFFERENT ORIENTATIONS - Systems and methods are operable to detect infrared (IR) signals at a media device. Exemplary embodiments include a media device configured to receive media content; at least one IR detector residing in the media device, and configured to receive a portion of IR signals emitted from a remote control; and a cover lens disposed in a portion of an enclosure of the media device. The cover lens has a first cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signals emitted from the remote control and is configured to transmit a first portion of the received IR signal to the IR detector when the media device is horizontally oriented, and has a second cover lens portion configured to receive the IR signal emitted from the remote control and is configured to transmit a second portion of the received IR signal to the IR detector when the media device is vertically oriented.08-30-2012
20120243166MEDIA CONTENT DEVICE CHASSIS WITH INTERNAL EXTENSION MEMBERS - A media content receiving device, such as a set top box, includes a chassis that incorporates a heat bridge, a heat shield or both. The heat bridge may take the form of a structural wall coupled to, but preferably integrated with, the chassis to facilitate conductive heat transfer into a chassis panel. The heat bridge may be configured to receive heat radiated from a chip having a die to be cooled. The heat shield may take the form of a wall-type structure protruding from a chassis panel. For example, the heat shield may extend from a top panel of the chassis in a fin-like or flange-like manner to provide a thermal barrier between adjacent electrical components arranged on a circuit board. While the heat shield protects the adjacent component from potential thermal damage or degradation, it may also operate to transfer heat into the chassis.09-27-2012

20080273972TEMPERATURE CONTROLLING APPARATUS - An apparatus for controlling the temperature of a component, which is situated in use in a gas stream, provides a nozzle to create a jet of air at an angle to the gas stream, the jet being directed into the region of the stagnation point of the component so as to control the temperature of the component. The invention is particularly suited to preventing or reducing the formation of ice on vanes of gas turbine engines, but may also be applied to other components, and may equally be used in situations where a component is to be cooled rather than heated.11-06-2008
20090269187Variable stator vane - A variable stator vane in a gas turbine engine has a journal provided with a circumferential recess. An aperture extends from the recess to a face of the journal directed towards the aerofoil portion of the vane. In operation of the engine, heated air, for example from a downstream compressor stage of the engine is admitted to the recess and flows through the aperture to, for example, the pressure surface of the aerofoil portion. The aerofoil portion is thereby heated, so preventing ice accretion on the vane.10-29-2009

20090019816Method of modular pole construction and modular pole assembly - A method of modular pole construction an elongate modular pole structure is disclosed. A first step of the method involves providing hollow tapered pole section modules, each module having a first open end and an opposed second open end. A cross-section of the second end is less than a cross-section of the first end. The modules are stacked to form an elongated modular pole structure of a selected length by mating the second end of a first module with the first end of a second module. The first and second modules may have different structural properties, such that poles having desired structural properties can be constructed by selectively combining modules having differing structural properties.01-22-2009

20130041844METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES - Processes and supporting systems facilitate the periodic assessment of the value of illiquid assets held by a real estate investment trust (“REIT). These values are combined with valuations of the liquid assets (securities, cash) held by the fund and used to calculate an overall net asset value. The periodic assessments may be adjusted intra-period to account for extraordinary events. In order to manage redemptions, the liquidity of the fund is managed and monitored and as redemption requests are received a “market condition” is established. Based on the market condition, a redemption cap is applied, which may limit the amount that may redeemed during any one period.02-14-2013
