Abstract: An example system includes an electrical machine electrically configured to generate electrical energy used by one or more components of a gas-turbine engine; an energy storage system; and a controller electrically connected to the energy storage system and configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage system, wherein, in response to the gas-turbine engine being shut off, the controller is configured to cause the electrical machine to rotate a rotor of the gas-turbine engine using the energy received from the energy storage system.

Abstract: An example electrical machine configured to generate electrical energy used by two or more components of a gas-turbine engine is described herein. The electrical machine comprises one or more first stator teeth having a first axial length that support first windings configured to generate a first level of the electrical energy used by a first component of the two or more components. The electrical machine also comprises one or more second stator teeth having a second axial length that support second windings configured to generate a second level of the electrical energy used by a second component of the two or more components, the first axial length different than the second axial length.

Abstract: A secure data collaboration communication system and apparatus provides secure communication of data to multiple users of client systems to enable data collaboration. The secure data collaboration communication system and apparatus generate, share, receive, and utilize widget references to generate a common dataset. To accommodate varying levels of data access to a common dataset, in at least one embodiment, each user of the secure data collaboration communication system is associated with an access policy defining the level of data access for the user. The secure data collaboration communication system and apparatus apply the access policy to the dataset generated using the widget reference to limit exposure to data in the dataset commensurate with the user's data access level. Thus, a secure data collaboration communication system and apparatus provides a technical solution to the technical problem of providing secure collaborative data access to users having diverse levels of data access authorization.

Abstract: A real-time, on-line method and analytical system for determining halohydrocarbons in water which operate by (1) extracting on-line samples; (2) purging volatile halohydrocarbons from the water (e.g., with air or nitrogen); (3) carrying the purge gas containing the analytes of interest over a porous surface where the analytes are adsorbed; (4) recovering the analytes from the porous surface with heat (thermal desorption) or solvent (solvent elution) to drive the analytes into an organic chemical mixture; (5) generating an optical change (e.g., color change) in dependence upon a reaction involving the analytes and a pyridine derivative; and (6) measuring optical characteristics associated with the reaction to quantify the volatile halogenated hydrocarbon concentration.

Abstract: Changes in the infrared reflection spectrum of a thin film of silica-like resinous material sandwiched between metal electrodes can be induced by applying an electric potential to a top electrode which is semitransparent. Characteristic infrared absorption lines change in proportion to a small electric current flowing through the material. These changes occur with response times of the order of seconds, and show time constants of the order of minutes to reach stationary values.
