Publication number: 20230298110Abstract: A multi-region risk relationship data store may contain electronic records representing a plurality of multi-region risk relationships and, for each multi-region risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of multi-region attribute values including a plurality of hierarchical local risk relationship attribute values. A back-end application computer server may receive an indication of a selected risk relationship and display at least some of the associated multi-region attribute values. The server may receive adjustments to some of the multi-region or local risk-relationship attribute values, and displayed information may be automatically and dynamically configured based on the received adjustments and a standalone risk calculation unit. At least some local risk relationship attribute values may be replicated for multiple regions. When adjustments have been completed, the server may automatically assemble a multi-region risk relationship document.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Alfred Edward Bergbauer, JR., Kevin M. Strong, III, Venkata Uma Lakkakula, Danielle Dubois, Kim Carina Ramelow

Publication number: 20120222591Abstract: A method of selective catalytic NOX reduction in a power boiler and a power boiler with selective catalytic NOX reduction. Fuel is combusted in a furnace of the boiler and a flue gas stream that includes NOX is generated. The flue gas stream is conducted from the furnace along a flue gas channel to a stack. The flue gas stream is cooled in a heat recovery area, including an economizer section, arranged in the flue gas channel. At least a portion of the NOX is reduced to N2 in an NOX catalyst arranged in the flue gas channel downstream of the economizer section. The flue gas is further cooled and heated air is generated in a gas-to-air heater arranged in the flue gas channel downstream of the economizer section and upstream of the NOX catalyst.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2011Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: FOSTER WHEELER NORTH AMERICA CORP.Inventors: David Greenhut, John Elston, Michael Mazzolla, Alfred Edwards

Miniature x-ray catheter with retractable needles or suction means for positioning at a desired site
Patent number: 7031432Abstract: An x-ray catheter has an x-ray tube having an x-ray source therein and an x-ray transparent window through which x-rays may pass is positioned with retractable needles or suction. The needles, if present, are retractably attached to a hinge which is operatively connected to a control that extends or retracts the needles from the device, the needles positioned adjacent the x-ray transparent window so as not to impede the flow of x-rays. Alternatively, suction opening operatively connected to a vacuum source positions the x-ray source at the desired site.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: SciMed Life Systems, Inc.Inventor: Kurt Alfred Edward Geitz -
Patent number: 7016659Abstract: In an AM system directed to commercial broadcasting, a pure unmodulated (CW) carrier signal and two sideband signals are generated and processed separately as three independent signals that are summed as output of a final linear mixer. The sideband signals are derived independently utilizing audio spectrum-sharing based on complementary comb filtering, quadrature phase-shifting at both audio and carrier sideband frequencies, and exclusive alternate toggling at a designated switching rate between the two sidebands so that at any instant in time only one of the two sidebands is present along with the continuous carrier. The overall performance provides the capability of advantageous modulation beyond the conventional 100% modulation limit.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2003Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Inventors: Michael L. Dorrough, Dennis Robert Lee, Alfred Edward Parker, Richard Williamson Burden

Patent number: 6890428Abstract: A fryer filtration arrangement includes an oil drain pan and associated filter assembly. The filter assembly may be removably connected to the pan by a friction fit coupling arrangement. The pan may be positioned in latch-free movable drawer. The fryer vat may be shaped such that particulate matter settles therein along a substantially linear region and oil circulated during a filtration operation may flow along the substantially linear region to push the settled particulate matter to the pan and filter assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Illinois Tool Works, Inc.Inventor: Alfred Edward Mullaney, Jr.
