Publication number: 20200176968Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a power distribution device having a power input and a plurality of power receptacles. The power receptacles are coupled in parallel with each other. A switching circuit is coupled between the power input and the power receptacles. A circuit breaker detects when an aggregate current load of the receptacles is greater than a rating of the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker disconnects the power input from all of the receptacles after a first amount of time following the detection. An electronic controller is configured to disconnect a subset of the receptacles from the power input with the switching circuit to reduce the aggregate current load below the rating of the circuit breaker within a second amount of time following the detection. The second amount of time is less than the first amount of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Salim Ling, Miki Mauriciu Wechsler, Richard Steegmueller, Ali M. Rizavi, Joseph Robert Dunne, Shlomo Bergman

Publication number: 20050180634Abstract: A method of identifying endmember spectral values from multispectral image data, where each multispectral data value is equal to a sum of mixing proportions of each endmember spectrum. The method comprises the steps of processing the data to obtain a multidimensional simplex having a number of vertices equal to the number of endmembers. The position of each vertex represents a spectrum of one of the endmembers. Processing the data is conducted by providing starting estimates of each endmember spectrum for each image data value. The mixing proportions for each data value is estimated from estimates of the spectra of all the endmembers. The spectrum of each endmember is estimated from estimates of the mixing proportions of the spectra of all the endmembers for each image data value. The estimation steps are repeated until a relative change in the regularised residual sum of squares is sufficiently small. The regularised residual sum of squares includes a term which is a measure of the size of the simplex.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2003Publication date: August 18, 2005Applicant: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Mark Berman, Haari Kiiveri, Ryan Lagerstrom, Robert Dunne

Patent number: 5697207Abstract: The air inlet to the compressor of a gas turbine is supplied with liquid nitrogen for cooling the ambient inlet air. The heated nitrogen converts to gaseous nitrogen and is supplied to either the combustor to lower the flame temperature and hence reduce NO.sub.x formations within the combustor or the turbine section to increase mass flow and hence increase power output, or both. Liquid nitrogen is also supplied in heat exchange relation with the cooling system of a generator driven by the turbine section. The operating temperature of the generator is thus lowered, thereby increasing its capacity and power. The nitrogen from the heat exchanger of the generator cooling system converts to gaseous nitrogen and is supplied to the combustor for lowered NO.sub.x emissions or to the turbine for improved mass flow, or both.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1996Date of Patent: December 16, 1997Assignee: General Electric Co.Inventors: Robert Harold Cromer, Patrick Robert Dunne, Jennifer Elise Gill, Mark David Seminatore
