20100135579PROPERTY RECORD DOCUMENT DATA VERIFICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A data verification system is configured to verify machine-recognized data elements acquired during a machine-implemented data acquisition process. The system includes a data verification workstation, a image server, and a data entry server. The data verification workstation is configured to obtain document images from the image server, present portions of document images to an operator, wherein the document images include text, and receive input from the operator based on the text. The input includes data elements. The data verification workstation is also configured to acquire machine-recognized data elements from the data entry server. The machine-recognized data elements were acquired from the document image during a machine-implemented data acquisition process based on the text. The data verification workstation is also configured to compare the data elements received from the operator to the machine-recognized data elements and selectively prompt the operator to re-input the data elements based on the comparison.06-03-2010

20100071888HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - A heating and cooling system for a building utilizes lower vents which open into lower portions of rooms of a building, and upper vents which open into upper portions of rooms of the building. When the system is operating in a heating mode, heated air is delivered into the upper portions of the rooms through the upper vents and air is removed from the rooms through the lower vents. When the system is operating in a cooling mode, cool air is delivered into the rooms through the lower vents, and air is removed from the rooms through the upper vents. Operating the heating and cooling modes in this fashion provides the most efficient operation of the heating and cooling system.03-25-2010
20100258642ENVIROMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONFIGURING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS - An environmental control system of a building utilizes lower vents which open into lower portions of rooms of a building, and upper vents which open into upper portions of rooms of the building. When the system is operating in a heating mode, heated air is delivered into the upper portions of the rooms through the upper vents and air is removed from the rooms through the lower vents. When the system is operating in a cooling mode, cool air is delivered into the rooms through the lower vents, and air is removed from the rooms through the upper vents.

20100174797Method for Recoverable Message Exchange Independent of Network Protocols - A method is described to allow a device to retrieve a message, that is separated into a plurality of fragments, from a data source, wherein the method involves: establishing a first network connection with the data source; receiving a subset of the plurality of fragments; determining the first network connection has ended before completion of said message; establishing one or more subsequent network connections with the data source; and receiving any of the plurality of fragments not within the subset. The characteristics (for example: application protocol, security, speed, reach, bandwidth capability, cost of usage, network type, physical layer type, data-link layer type, or IP address of one or both of the first and second devices) of the first network connection can be potentially different than the subsequent network connections.07-08-2010

20100066090Free renewable energy designs - These Free Renewable Energy Designs capture the Earth's tidal energy forces. These systems of interconnected modules are capable of capturing and releasing massive amounts of sea water through water control gate(s) located on the barges. Type A design modules are permanently suspended between high tide and low tide levels and converts Earth's tidal energy into electricity by means of bidirectional water driven turbines contained within cylindrical housings located adjacent to the watertight control gate(s), and at the internal connections between the individual modules, and by bidirectional air driven turbines on the air pressure relief vents. Type B design modules are dynamically secured against massive columns with foundations, and are capable of moving freely up and down the columns, thus using gravitational kinetic energy and buoyant kinetic energy to mechanically drive electrical generators between tidal changes. They also incorporate bidirectional water and air driven electrical turbines, which are activated during the “fill” and “empty” cycles of the system just prior to high and low tides.03-18-2010

The designs embody aerodynamic structural titanium support systems that extend forward and terminate directly in front of the centerline of the jet engine terminating at a circular titanium forward spoke connecter that receives a sharply angled series of identical bird deflection spokes that trail back and attach to the perimeter of the jet engine intake housing or nacelle. All of the support elements and deflection members shall be aeronautically designed to direct a maximum amount of air into the jet engine.08-04-2011
