| 20110240257 | VIBRATION STABILIZATION SYSTEM FOR MULTI-COOLER - A bracket for stabilizing a heat exchanger has a base member extending between first and second ends. An aperture at the first end of the base member receives a fastener. The bracket is fixedly secured to a vehicle through the fastener. A flex zone extends between the first and second ends of the base member. The flex zone is movable between a first, relaxed position and a second, flexed position. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110240275 | LOW THERMAL STRAIN MULTI-COOLER - A heat exchanger with multi-flow capabilities includes a pair of intermediate tanks located between a pair of header tanks. An open gap is provided between the two intermediate tanks. A first plurality of tubes extend between the header tanks. A second plurality of tubes extend between one of the header tanks and one of the intermediate tanks. A third plurality of tubes extend between the other header tank and the other intermediate tank. In a two flow system, the two intermediate tanks are in fluid communication through a flexible jumper tube. In a three flow system the two intermediate tanks are isolated from each other. The open gap between the intermediate tanks allows for the uneven heat expansion between the various fluid flows. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110240387 | THERMAL STRAIN REDUCING MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER - A bracket for retaining a heat exchanger includes a base member having a first end portion and a second end portion. An aperture at the first end portion of the base member receives a fastener. The bracket is fixedly secured to a vehicle through the fastener. An arcuate hook at the second end of the base member receives the heat exchanger. A flex zone extends between the first and second end portions of the base member. The flex zone is movable between a first, relaxed position and a second, flexed position. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110240388 | THERMAL EXPANSION RESISTANT HEAT EXCHANGER SEAL - A seal member may include a base portion, a plurality of deflector portions, and an expansion portion. The base portion may include a plurality of tabs adapted to be mounted to a heat exchanger. The plurality of deflector portions may each extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of tabs and manipulate a flow of fluid proximate the heat exchanger. The expansion portion may be disposed between adjacent deflector portions and may be expandable in response to exposure to heat between a first position at which the adjacent deflector portions are a first distance apart from each other and a second position at which the adjacent deflector portions are a second distance apart from each other. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20090240469 | DYNAMIC DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF - A method and system for displaying asset health information includes determining a status of at least one asset in a monitored system based on operational information obtained about the at least one asset. The obtained operational information about the at least one asset is compared against other operational information obtained about the monitored system. A review of the determined status of the at least one asset is conducted based on the comparison. At least one of textual information and numeric information is displayed based on the conducted review of the determined status of the at least one asset. Additionally, at least one of three or more indicator lights is displayed based on the conductive review of the determined status of the at least one asset. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090240472 | DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An Asset Health Management system monitors and analyzes the health of a component of an asset. A sensor network, with one or more sensors operably coupled to an asset component, collects sensor data associated with operating characteristics of the asset component. A processing node (a System Health Node) includes one or more modules, i.e., software functions, and one or more configuration files. The processing node processes the sensor data with the one or more modules according to the one or more configuration files and determines health information corresponding to the asset component. The one or more modules receive and transmit input and output data, respectively, via data streams that organize the input and output data, e.g., according to time stamps and that may be cached. The health information may be displayed on user interfaces and/or may be transmitted over an information network to external systems. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090240604 | Method and apparatus for data acquisition in an asset health management system - An asset management system includes a controller area network bus and a data acquisition module connected to the controller area network bus. The data acquisition module has a plurality of analog input channels. One or more sensor systems are connected to the input channels with the input channels receiving analog signals from the sensor systems. The data acquisition module passively conditions the received analog signals prior to digital conversion. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090240853 | Method and apparatus for configuring a bus network in an asset management system - A method and system for managing assets includes a controller area network bus having a first end and a second end. One or more sensor systems are connected to the network bus. The sensor systems are connected to one or more assets to obtain at least one of operational data and condition data for the one or more assets. A self-healing bridge is connected to the first end and the second end of the network bus and is adapted to minimize a loss of connectivity in the network bus. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20110236185 | INTERSTAGE SEAL - An interstage seal is provided for installation between forward and aft stage discs of a turbine section of a gas turbine engine. The seal has a forward annular portion, which extends forward to contribute to an air seal at the outer periphery of the forward stage disc, and an aft annular portion, which extends rearward to contribute to an air seal at the outer periphery of the aft stage disc. The seal has a peripheral slot into which static vane inner rails are loadable. The seal includes a first component, which provides the forward annular portion, and a second component, which provides the aft annular portion. The second component is separably connectable to the first component such that the first and second components, when connected, cooperate to form the peripheral slot. Loading the static vane inner rails into the slot prevents the second component separating from the first component. | 09-29-2011 |
