  • Publication number: 20160273716
    Abstract: A LED lamp has at least two LEDs to provide light of at least two different spectral outputs. An optic element has an entry surface disposed to receive the light from the LEDs. The entry surface includes refracting surfaces that refract the light tangentially. The refracting surfaces may extend radially relative to a center of the entry surface. The refracting surfaces may be continuously curved in cross-section where the refracting surfaces may include convex refracting surfaces and concave refracting surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20160265728
    Abstract: A solid-state lamp with an angular distribution optic is disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention can provide for improved luminous intensity distribution in the vertical plane for a vertically oriented solid-state lamp. A lamp according to some example embodiments of the invention includes at least one LED, an optically transmissive enclosure for the LED or LEDs, and a base. The lamp also includes a distribution optic conformably disposed in or on the base to conduct light for angularly distributed emission from the base of the lamp. In some embodiments, the lamp is dimensioned as a replacement for a candelabra type incandescent bulb. The distribution optic can be composed of any optical medium, and in some embodiments, may be from about 1 mm to about 5 mm thick. In some embodiments, the distribution optic is made of thermally conductive plastic.

  • Publication number: 20160085893
    Abstract: Full-AC load flow constitutes a core computation in power system analysis. A performance gain with a hardware implementation of a sparse-linear solver using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is achieved by use of a DC network emulation of the power system bus. Analog Behavioral Models (ABMs)are used in an efficient strategy for designing analog emulation engines for large-scale power system computation. A generator model is also developed using analog circuits for load flow emulation for power system analysis to reduce computation time. The generator model includes reconfigurable parameters using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). The circuit module is used with other reconfigurable circuits, i.e., transmission lines and loads.

  • Patent number: 9192810
    Abstract: A dual treadle treadmill. The dual treadle treadmill includes a frame, a first treadle, a second treadle, and a generator. The first treadle and the second treadle are each pivotally coupled with the frame and each have a moving surface. The generator is operably associated with the first treadle such that the generator is driven in response to the first treadle pivoting relative to the frame. Other embodiments of dual treadle treadmills are also described.

  • Patent number: 9094458
    Abstract: One example embodiment provides a method and system where a node in a utility network receives a block of IPv6 network addresses from an access point in the utility network. The utility node allocates an IP network address from the block of IPv6 network addresses received from the access point to an in-premise device which communicates to the utility node over an in-premise network which is not IP based. The utility node proxies the allocated IP address to the utility network, allowing other nodes on the utility network to address and communicate with the in-premise device.

  • Publication number: 20140274577
    Abstract: A dual treadle treadmill. The dual treadle treadmill includes a frame, a first treadle, a second treadle, a clutch axle, and a tensioning mechanism. The first treadle and the second treadle are each pivotally coupled with the frame and each have a moving surface. The clutch axle includes an axle, a first driver, and a second driver. The axle is rotatably connected to the frame. The first driver is coupled to the axle by a first clutch. The first clutch transmits torque between the first driver and the axle in response to the first driver rotating in a first direction relative to the axle. The first treadle is connected to the first driver through a first link such that the first driver is rotated in a first direction in response to the first treadle being pivoted in the first direction. The tensioning mechanism maintains a tension on the first link.

  • Publication number: 20140222999
    Abstract: The invention relates to an application server and a method. The application server comprises a resolver which reserves a subscriber number prefix for test target applications. The resolver associates an address of an application server with the prefix in a memory and resolves subscriber numbers containing the prefix into the address using the memory. A network element simulator listens to a port, which has a port number which is also used in communicating with the network element being simulated. A test target application communicates with the simulator instead of the network element being simulated via a protocol stack in the application server. An application layer binding is used to route incoming messages to the test target application.

  • Publication number: 20130087340
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for favorably altering the chemomechanical properties of subterranean formations using treatment fluids comprising surfactants and halide salts. Methods for treating formations comprise the steps of introducing a chemomechanical treatment fluid into the formation and allowing the treatment fluid to interact with the formation to alter its petrochemical properties in various ways. Depending on the application, the chemomechanical treatment fluid may comprise a base fluid, a halide salt and an amphoteric or nonamphoteric surfactant where the surfactant is dissolved in the base fluid at a concentration below its critical micelle concentration. Applications of use involving the chemomechanical treatment fluids include treatment operations, secondary recovery operations, drilling operations, and any other operation that would benefit from the formation property modifications described herein.
