Abstract: Method and system for processing a telephone call comprising initiating a telephone call. Taking a first action if the telephone call is answered before a call alert is initiated. Taking a second action if the telephone call is answered after the call alert is initiated. Furthermore, a first action may be taken if the telephone call is answered before a call alert is initiated or if the telephone call is answered within a time period following the call alert being initiated. The second action may be taken if the telephone call is answered after expiry of the time period following the call alert being initiated.

Abstract: Described is a walker that is a front entry walker that surrounds the user with a frame on three sides and that includes a fold-down seat when needed. The frame includes a first side frame, a second side frame and a rear frame connected between the first and second side frames. The rear frame includes the seat such that when the seat is in the stowed position, the seat in conjunction with the first and second side frames collectively surround the user on at least three sides. Further, an adjustable arm rest is attached with each of the first and second side frames. Notably, each adjustable arm rest has a forearm support and corresponding brake system.

Abstract: Covers on bucket tips are provided with an access slot along a circumferentially facing edge of the cover at a location where moisture removal grooves of the bucket will intersect with the cover. Machine tooling is then applied to form the grooves along the suction side and adjacent the leading of the bucket. The machining runs out through the access slot forming grooves along the side edge of the bucket cover within the slot. The axial extent of the covers overlying leading and trailing edges of the buckets is maintained while enabling moisture removal by centrifugal action.

Abstract: A method and system of evaluating a turbine component comprises obtaining data relating to respective surface conditions at a plurality of different surface locations of the turbine component and calculating the total profile efficiency loss for the turbine component based on the data. Calculating the total profile efficiency of the turbine component may include calculating the local profile efficiency loss percentage for each of the surface conditions at the different surface locations (and/or sub-areas of the different surface locations) and calculating an average of the local profile efficiency loss percentages, each of the local efficiency loss percentages being weighted by respective predetermined weight factors. The turbine component may be a nozzle or a bucket and each of the turbine component's surface locations may be an admission suction surface, an admission pressure surface, a discharge suction surface or a discharge pressure surface.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for providing efficiency and cost analysis for a power generation unit. The system of this disclosure includes a current condition data acquisition logic that acquires a plurality of current condition variables for the power generation unit. A design constants acquisition logic acquires a plurality of design constants for the power generation unit; and an analysis logic calculates a operational efficiency of the power generation unit. The method provides efficiency and cost analysis for a power generation unit. The method includes the steps of acquiring a plurality of current condition variables for the power generation unit, and acquiring a plurality of design constants for said power generation unit. With the current condition variables and design constants, the method calculates an operational efficiency of the power generation unit.
