| 20130054213 | PROCESS FOR ADAPTIVE MODELING OF PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION - The present subject matter is directed to methods and systems for providing adaptive modeling of performance degradation in a system, particularly, a gas turbine system. A performance model is provided and operated as both a calibration model and a baseline model. Data produced during both operations is stored and differences there between is used in adaptive logic, which may correspond to a neural network, to predict performance degradation to control operation of a system baseline model. Data from operation of the system baseline model may also be stored and used with data from the calibration model and baseline model in the adaptive logic. | 02-28-2013 |

| 20120132119 | Variant speed directional control mechanism for water-jet powered craft - The invention relates to an auxiliary appendage(s) to improve off plane steering response and maneuverability of water jet powered crafts. The invention utilizes the pump's water flow and rotates on a horizontal axis, parallel to the water. Utilizing surface tension, drag or mechanical control the device rotates up and down on the vertical plane. The device does not cause additional sheer or stresses on water jet thrust assemblies. The invention easily attaches to water jet powered craft dramatically improving the steering capability during off-plane maneuvering. Its unique design allows adjustable torsion loading, rotates on one or both sides and allows precise tuning for multiple crafts from personal watercraft to large water jet powered crafts. This device operates on either side of the discharge nozzle to increase low speed control until the speed increases to a (craft dependent) preset point and allow the device to tilt out of the water. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20120047542 | System and method for rule based dynamic server side streaming manifest files - There is provided a system and method for rule-based dynamic server-side streaming manifest files. There is provided a method comprising receiving a request to provide a first video content for playback, evaluating a plurality of rules for the first video content, generating a dynamic manifest file referencing the first video content, and providing the dynamic manifest file in response to the request, thereby enabling an application to playback the first video content for output on a display by interpreting the dynamic manifest file. The rules may implement various features such as dynamic advertisement insertion, load balancing, client customization, user and device targeting, enhanced security mechanisms, global announcements, and others. As streaming protocols are widely supported by default on many client platforms, the dynamic manifest files can be utilized in a user friendly and transparent manner compared to client-side solutions requiring cumbersome client software installations. | 02-23-2012 |
