  • Patent number: 8037750
    Abstract: In an icing condition detection system, a circuit provides an output representing impending icing conditions as a function of power consumption of a single element detector. A thermal isolation pedestal includes a detector support end that supports the single element detector and an opposite strut mounting end. A thermal isolation controller controls a thermal isolation pedestal temperature to thermally isolate the single element detector from a strut mounting end.

  • Patent number: 7734521
    Abstract: A financial instrument is provided that enables investors to invest in depositary receipts based on underlying non-domestic shares of a foreign business entity through a domestic stock exchange even though the underlying non-domestic shares are traded only on a stock exchange with a settlement day that has no substantial temporal overlap with the investor's domestic stock exchange's settlement day. In accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, an international trading transaction structure and corresponding methodology is provided that enables investment in such financial instruments while guarding against currency market fluctuations during the trade period prior to settlement.

  • Publication number: 20100068076
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic piston engine comprising a plurality of pistons which are driven by a drive/output shaft, are axially movably guided in a piston drum of a housing, and each define a working region into which a pressurised means can be supplied via a suction valve, and from which the pressurised means can be discharged via a delivery valve. The housing comprises at least one other housing part connected to the piston drum on the front side. According to the invention, the delivery valves and the suction valves are arranged approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the piston engine in the region of a separating plane between the housing parts, in the housing receiving areas.

  • Publication number: 20090301295
    Abstract: A piston arrangement includes a piston which is pin-ointed to a sliding block. The sliding block is molded directly onto the piston by injection molding so that no separate process step is required. The piston itself is part of the injection mold, an extremely precise fit can be guaranteed in the hinging area of the sliding block to the piston, which fit permits a reliable connection even when the piston surface is located in the connecting area outside the given tolerance, because by directly molding the sliding blocks onto the piston the tolerances are compensated.

  • Patent number: 7509536
    Abstract: A method and system for error handling by incorporating functionality to identify errors at two levels of context. A first level providing the user with an error message, and the second level identifying where in the process the error occurred. The method and system comprise a reusable piece of code and building blocks providing universal use of a variety of applications that captures errors at different levels of context. Additionally, the method and system takes the building blocks and pushes the functionality out to the Internet.

  • Publication number: 20080019464
    Abstract: A spectrum analysis engine (SAGE) that comprises a spectrum analyzer component, a signal detector component, a universal signal synchronizer component and a snapshot buffer component. The spectrum analyzer component generates data representing a real-time spectrogram of a bandwidth of radio frequency (RF) spectrum. The signal detector detects signal pulses in the frequency band and outputs pulse event information entries output, which include the start time, duration, power, center frequency and bandwidth of each detected pulse. The signal detector also provides pulse trigger outputs which may be used to enable/disable the collection of information by the spectrum analyzer and the snapshot buffer components. An alternative pulse detection module is provided that tracks signal pulses by comparing peak data from successive FFT cycles with existing signal pulse data that is derived from comparing peak data for prior FFT cycles.

  • Publication number: 20070227079
    Abstract: A knock-down portable partition system has cover panels supported on a post and beam framework designed for quick and easy on-site manual assembly. The framework includes at least two vertical posts and at least two structural beams rigidly, yet detachably interconnecting the vertical posts. Connectors secure the beams to the posts, such that the partition system can be assembled and disassembled manually. The partition system may include utility troughs shaped to retain wires, cabling, etc. therein to provide power and/or communication to the system. The utility troughs have opposite ends shaped to be detachably mounted to the posts.

  • Patent number: 6962076
    Abstract: A positioning system is provided for use in a wind tunnel that results in accurate and dynamic orientation for a model while reducing aerodynamic interference. The system includes a pitch-yaw sleeve having a generally cylindrical shape and a torque tube disposed askew within the sleeve and rotatable about its longitudinal axis to drive a shaft. The shaft is generally elongated and crooked. The sting, to which a model is affixed, is rotatably attached to a distal end of the shaft. Rotation of the pitch-yaw tube and/or the pitch-yaw sleeve provides precise pitch and yaw orientation of the model, and rotation of the sting relative to the shaft provides precise roll orientation.
