    Abstract: An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) System has an LT working fluid loop and an HT working fluid loop. The working fluid loops may each have a pump, one or more heat exchanger boilers, an expander, and a condenser. A recuperator is arranged within the LT working fluid loop between the pump and the first heat exchanger boiler. The recuperator is also arranged within the HT working fluid loop between the expander and the pump, or within the LT working fluid loop between the expander and the condenser. One of the heat exchanger boilers in the LT loop may be a charge air cooler heat exchanger, and may receive charge air mixed with recirculating exhaust gas. The LT loop may include more than one heat exchanger boiler, arranged in series or in parallel. Bypass valves may selectively bypass one or more of the heat exchangers.

  • Patent number: 10339782
    Abstract: A method includes receiving location data of a monitoring device when carried by a user and receiving motion data of the monitoring device. The motion data is associated with a time of occurrence and the location data. The method includes processing the received motion data to identify a group of the motion data having a substantially common characteristic and processing the location data for the group of the motion data. The group of motion data by way of processing the location data provides an activity identifier. The motion data includes metric data that identifies characteristics of the motion data. The method includes transferring the activity identifier and the characteristics of the motion data to a screen of a device for display. The activity identifier being a graphical user interface that receives an input for rendering more or less of the characteristics of the motion data.

  • Publication number: 20190059744
    Abstract: An activity monitoring device, methods and computer readable media are provided. The activity monitoring device includes a housing configured for attachment to a body part of a user and a display screen attached to the housing. Further included is a first sensor disposed in the housing for capturing motion of the activity monitoring device when attached to the body part of the user and a second sensor disposed in the housing for sampling a heart rate of the user. Memory is disposed in the housing for storing the motion captured by the first sensor and the heart rate sampled by the second sensor. A processor is disposed in the housing and is configured to determine a physical state of the user during a period of time. For motion that is below a threshold the processor identifies the physical state to be a sedentary state and for motion that is at or above the threshold the processor identifies the physical state to be an active state.
