  • Patent number: 10018357
    Abstract: A system and a method for controlling operation of a power plant system. The system has at least a gasifier, a boiler, an induced draft fan, and a baghouse. A controller in communication with the system is configured to implement a first stage and/or a second stage sequences after detecting loss of flame in the boiler using a temperature measurement device. The method includes automatically bypassing the baghouse and controlled (e.g., decreasing) the speed of the induced draft fan in the system to relight the boiler. The input feed to the gasifier can be limited and devices operated for a predetermined amount of time before reigniting the boiler.

  • Publication number: 20080188854
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for assisting a user during delivery of a labral anchor. For example, one embodiment provides a labral anchor delivery system that includes a drill sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end that is cannulated therebetween. At least a portion of the drill sleeve proximate to the distal end is curved such that the distal end is configured to be positioned substantially perpendicular to a surface of a glenoid. The labral anchor delivery system includes a drill bit having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to be positioned within the cannulated drill sleeve and into engagement with the surface of the glenoid. In addition, at least a portion of the drill bit between the proximal and distal ends of the drill bit is flexible for conforming to the curved portion of the drill sleeve.
