Abstract: A system and method of controlling an oil flow within a refrigeration system, the system including a compressor, an expansion device in flow communication with the compressor, and an electronic controller in communication with the expansion device and the compressor, wherein the electronic controller is configured to operate in an oil return mode based at least in part on an operational speed and a continuous operational run time of the compressor.

Abstract: A projection apparatus for projection inside a vivarium environment (101) comprises a display member (107) and a projection surface (108) adapted to be positioned inside the dry or liquid environment within the vivarium (101) and a projector (104) positioned outside the vivarium environment (102) where at least part of one wall of the vivarium enclosure is transparent. The projector (104) is adapted to be positioned on its narrow edge and project an image on the projection surface utilizing a highly reflective surface (105) to redirect the projection and an additional lens, or lenses, (106) to further refine the image.

Abstract: A method for controlling a system includes receiving system demand data; processing the system demand data; defining a first value of a first system operating parameter; receiving system condition data; associating the first value of the first system operating parameter with a first operating map function; determining whether the system condition data exceeds a threshold of the first operating map function; determining whether the system condition data exceeds a threshold of a second operating map function responsive to determining that the system condition data exceeds the threshold of the first operating map function; and changing the first value of the first system operating parameter to a second value associated with the second operating map function responsive to determining that the system condition data does not exceed the threshold of the second operating map function.

Abstract: A method for delivering ballast to a section of railroad track includes measuring an existing ballast profile of a section of railroad track using a remote sensing system, and providing a signal indicative thereof to a first computer. Using the first computer, the existing ballast profile is compared with an ideal ballast profile to compute a track file representing a volume of additional ballast needed as a function of linear position along the section of railroad track, and data representing the track file is transmitted to a second computer of an automatic ballast dump train. Ballast is dumped along the section of railroad track according to the track file under control of the second computer.

Abstract: A heat pump is provided having a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. A compressor is fluidly coupled to the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. A reversing valve is fluidly coupled between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. The reversing valve is adapted to flow of a refrigerant from the compressor to the first heat exchanger during heating mode and to the second heat exchanger during a cooling mode. A thermal expansion valve is positioned between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. An electronic expansion valve is positioned between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. A controller is electrically coupled to operate the electronic expansion valve between a fully open, a fully closed and a modulated position depending on the operation of the compressor.

Abstract: An air conditioning system that comprises a controller that is in electrical communication with a compressor, a condenser fan, a temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the ambient air, a temperature sensor that measures the temperature of a condenser coil of the air conditioning system, and a low pressure switch (LPS) that measure the pressure of a refrigerant disposed within the air conditioning system. An algorithm resident on the controller controls the controller to enter a low ambient cooling mode when the temperature of the ambient air is less than a set temperature. The algorithm further controls the controller so that a minimum and/or maximum cycling frequency is imposed on the condenser fan.

Abstract: Methods and systems for applying a transaction digital watermark to content being downloaded over a content delivery network. The digital watermark carries information about the transaction pursuant to which the content was downloaded, which can be useful in establishing a “chain of custody” that facilitates piracy detection and/or other tracking and monitoring applications. Moreover, the digital watermark is applied by an edge caching server, which enables downstream entities in the content delivery chain, such as Internet service providers, to influence the information carried in the digital watermark and enables transaction details that become known after the content leaves the content provider network to be carried in the digital watermark, but without opening up a security hole at the end user premises.

Abstract: A refrigerant system adapted to reduce refrigerant migration therein includes a compressor and a controller. The compressor has a motor with motor windings. The motor windings are responsive to control signals to selectively generate heat in a manner that does not turn the motor. The controller selectively energizes the motor windings to generate heat based on at least one of a monitored temperature or pressure to warm the compressor.
