  • Publication number: 20140015749
    Abstract: “A computer-implemented method and system (“Legion”) for capturing and outsourcing an existing graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an application to a crowd for their collaborative real-time control using an input device are provided. A crowd refers to a dynamic pool of one or a plurality of anonymous worker of varying skill level and/or reliability. The pool is dynamic because workers are able to come and go at their leisure and no specific worker can be relied upon to be available at a given time or to continue working on a job for a specific amount of time. Mediation strategies for integrating the input of multiple crowd workers in real-time is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8510004
    Abstract: An exemplary system includes at least one valve configured to control fluid flow in a dual-clutch transmission system. A solenoid is operably connected to the at least one valve and configured to move the valve to a plurality of positions. A primary processing unit is in communication with the solenoid and configured to determine an intended position of the valve. A controller is configured to receive the intended position of the valve from the primary processing unit and generate a primary control signal associated with the intended position of the valve. The solenoid is configured to move the valve to the intended position based on the primary control signal. A secondary processing unit is configured to receive information from the primary processing unit and prevent the primary control signal from controlling the solenoid if the primary processing unit is unable to control the solenoid.

  • Patent number: 8145044
    Abstract: An air ammonia heater and vaporization chamber system utilizing a contiguous vaporization chamber having an inlet for receiving dilution air, which is passed across at least one heating element integrated into the vaporization chamber to heat and pre-heat the vaporization chamber. Aqueous or anhydrous ammonia is injected from at least one ammonia injector, which is integrated into the vaporization chamber, into the heated dilution air. The heated ammonia/air mixture may then be passed through a bed of packing prior to being released from the vaporization chamber. The bed of packing maintains the heated, homogenous ammonia/air mixture at a minimum temperature of 350° F. to ensure the air/ammonia mixture does not condense. The air ammonia heater and vaporization chamber system may be used in the vaporization and bleeding of ammonia with air for NOx reduction in the flue gas from heat recovery steam generation systems, packaged boilers, simple cycle catalyst systems or fired heaters.
