20110232791 | PROPORTIONAL VALVE EMPLOYING SIMULTANEOUS AND HYBRID ACTUATION - Disclosed is an exemplary valve having a first valve member that may include at least one orifice, and which is moveable between a first position and a second position, and a second valve member that includes at least one orifice, and which is moveable relative to the first valve member between a first position, in which the at least one orifice of the second valve member is fluidly disconnected from the at least one orifice of the first valve member, and a second position, in which the at least one orifice of the second valve member is fluidly connected to the at least one orifice of the first valve member. The exemplary valve may also include first and second actuators for moving the first and second valve members between their respective first and second positions. | 09-29-2011 |

20120022764 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING FUEL ECONOMY USING PREDICTIVE ENVIRONMENT AND DRIVER BEHAVIOR INFORMATION - Disclosed is an exemplary method for optimizing vehicle performance. The method includes determining an optimized drive torque for maximizing vehicle fuel economy and detecting a driver requested drive torque. A determination is made on whether the driver requested drive torque is performance related or safety related. The arbitrated drive torque is set to the optimized drive torque when it is determined that the driver requested drive torque is not performance and safety related. The arbitrated drive torque is set to the driver requested drive torque when it is determined that the driver requested drive torque is either performance or safety related. | 01-26-2012 |

20130253782 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING THE PERFORMANCE OF A VIRTUAL VEHICLE - A mobile computing apparatus simulates the performance of a virtual vehicle using the route, driving behavior and loading experience of a baseline vehicle. The baseline vehicle is instrumented and operational data is collected, forming a data set. The apparatus includes simulator logic configured to construct a duty cycle from the data set representative of the operation of the baseline vehicle during travel along the route (e.g., a loading duty cycle). The data set includes route data with distance and vehicle speed information, engine data associated with the engine, and operational element data. The logic defines a virtual vehicle that is the same as the baseline vehicle but that includes a virtual operational element, such as a transmission, that is different than that in the baseline vehicle. The logic determines a performance characteristic, such as fuel economy, of the virtual vehicle using the constructed duty cycle. | 09-26-2013 |

20120159835 | Submersible Combination Bait Storage and Transport Holder and Fish Lure Apparatus and Method - A combination bait storage and transport holder, and fish lure apparatus and related method is disclosed that enables a user to store and transport bait and lure water life (target fish), all with the same container. This apparatus comprises a transparent or semitransparent (substantially transparent) material intended for bait storage, bait transportation and complete submersion in water for fish luring, and comprises at least one fluid passage opening through which water can pass but the bait cannot pass. Once submerged in water, this allows any native water life present to see and/or smell the bait and thereby be lured and attracted to the bait, and allows oxygenated water and bait aroma to flow into and out of the apparatus. There are also one or more closures whereby all openings can be closed at will so that water does not leak water during storage and transportation. | 06-28-2012 |

20140338762 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FEED-FORWARD VALVE TEST COMPENSATION - A system includes a controller including a processor configured to execute a program stored in a memory of the controller to generate and transmit a first output comprising a total flow demand value to a plurality of valves communicatively coupled to the controller. Each of the plurality of valves is configured to receive a respective portion of the total flow demand value. The processor is configured to receive an input indicative of a decoupling of a first valve of the plurality of valves and to generate a second output based at least in part on the first output and a first operational characteristic of the first valve. The second output is configured to vary a second operational characteristic of a second valve of the plurality of valves to maintain the total flow demand value. | 11-20-2014 |

20120209540 | Systems and Methods for Managing Wellhead Production - A system and method for monitoring and managing wellhead production and costs associated therewith. Electronic equipment is placed at the well head to monitor the volume of product lifted from at a wellhead. The equipment monitors both the volume and the percentage of products lifted and stored at the well head. The status of the separation and the volume can be monitored in real time or on a delayed time basis. The data is displayed on a map and used to identify efficient routes for gathering the lifted product at an appropriate time. The data may be displayed in a user interface which displays desired data in connection with each well head in a represented geographic region. | 08-16-2012 |
