20130180259 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING POWER USING A SUPERCRITICAL FLUID - A dual cycle system for generating shaft power using a supercritical fluid and a fossil fuel. The first cycle is an open, air breathing Brayton cycle. The second cycle is a closed, supercritical fluid Brayton cycle. After compression of air in the first cycle, the compressed air flows through a first cross cycle heat exchanger through which the supercritical fluid from the second cycle flows after it has been compressed and then expanded in a turbine. In the first cross cycle heat exchanger, the compressed air is heated and the expanded supercritical fluid is cooled. Prior to expansion in a turbine, the compressed supercritical fluid flows through a second cross cycle heat exchanger through which also flows combustion gas, produced by burning a fossil fuel in the compressed air in the first cycle. In the second cross cycle heat exchanger, the combustion gas is cooled and the compressed supercritical fluid is heated. | 07-18-2013 |

20120244502 | CARD GAME FOR LEARNING THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET - A game and method of play is disclosed to facilitate learning of the IPA. The game is a multiplayer card game where each player receives a specified number of cards. Each card includes a single alphabetic character of the IPA. One player begins by spelling out a phonetic word using one or more of his or her cards. The next player then forms a new phonetic word by interchanging, adding or subtracting one of his or her cards to or from the phonetic word. Each player continues to form new words by interchanging, adding or subtracting a card. If a player is unable to form a new word, that player is out of the game. The game continues until only a single player is left. That player is the winner. | 09-27-2012 |
