  • Patent number: 10113745
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing improved cooling to a combustion liner of a gas turbine combustor is provided. A plurality of flow deflectors is secured to a flow sleeve in order to improve the flow of impingement air from a flow sleeve to the combustion liner outer surface, such that the amount of impingement air being swept away by a cross flow of cooling air is reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150215461
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing multi-tenant callback services may be provided via a multi-tenant services integration platform. Several multi-tenant software as a service applications may be offered as a hosted software solution via the multi-tenant services integration platform. Various applications may deploy and support a shared tenant and shared services environment where there can be many different customers (companies and users) running in their own virtual partition from a single application instance. The applications may be multi-tenant aware and integrated into an administration portal which integrates several shared tenant services. The tenant model may allow for customized application configurations to be run from a single application instance. Further, improved methods for providing callback management, calculating estimated wait times, and providing for callback initiation may be integrated in such multi-tenant services.

  • Publication number: 20110154199
    Abstract: A computer implemented method to playback an enriched audio file that includes advancing a file that includes a timeline of events synchronized to an audio file. The timeline of events includes a first event scheduled to be performed before a second event. The audio file is played. An override mode is entered such that the performance of the timeline of events is not synchronized to the audio file. The second event is performed before the first event while the audio file is played and the override mode is exited such that the timeline of events is synchronized to the audio file.

  • Patent number: 7427939
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for providing electronic dispersion compensation. In one embodiment an apparatus may include an analog-to-digital converter and a plurality of adaptive filters arranged in parallel. The analog-to-digital converter may output blocks of samples, associated portions of which may be provided as inputs to the filters. Data combining circuitry may receive each of the associated outputs and provide a digital signal output. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
