Abstract: A spring valve configured to provide automated movement of the control lever thereof so as to return the control lever to the first position. The spring valve includes a body having a first end and a second end configured to be releasably secured to pipes. The body has movably coupled thereto a control lever that is configured to be moved between a first position and a second position. The control lever is operably controlled with a torsion spring that is operably coupled therewith. The torsion spring includes a first end that is operably coupled to a spring end engagement member formed on the body. The second end of the torsion spring is operably coupled to control lever. Control lever includes tab member formed on the lower portion of the control member. The torsion spring is operable to apply torque to the control lever to return to its first position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which activate the p53 response, and find use in, for example, hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer treatment and potentially other diseases/conditions involving sirtuin function.

Abstract: A method for utilizing a database for an inspection of an industrial plant includes downloading a spreadsheet from a remote database containing inspection-related data for the industrial plant, wherein the spreadsheet includes selection lists of inspection data. The method further includes entering inspection data into the spreadsheet utilizing the selection lists and uploading the spreadsheet with the entered inspection data to the remote computer to thereby update the remote database.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is a system and a method utilizing a web-based interactive database to automate the process for managing internal components of a plant. The system captures all essential information and provides on-line up-to-date information upon request. The system provides valuable information to a customer to analyze the plant specific problem and offers inspection methods, mitigation methods and processes to resolve the problem.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for monitoring and evaluating brain electrical activity. Methods are provided for obtaining local synchrony information relating to regions of a brain. Methods are provided that include obtaining EEG information from an infant subject, and using the obtained EEG information in obtaining local coherence information. A mathematical technique or computer algorithm can be used to process the EEG information in order to reduce residual volume conduction error in the obtained local coherence information.

Abstract: The method includes receiving parameters input by a user and calculating crack behavior estimations based on the received parameters by using a plurality of accessible crack behavior models. The crack behavior estimations calculated from each of the models are displayed to the user in order to illustrate how the different models compare in calculating a desired crack behavior profile. The displayed crack behavior estimations utilize a compilation of both historical crack growth rate data, as well as predicted crack growth rate data, and may be displayed as an estimated crack growth rate versus time, or as estimated crack growth over time. These parameters are displayed graphically for each crack behavior model in order to enable the user to make a comparison for each crack growth model.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing inspection requirements using a network-based system. The system includes a server system coupled to a centralized database and at least one client system. The method includes receiving information relating to a plurality of components of a specific plant and storing the information into a centralized database. The method further includes cross-referencing the information received, updating the centralized database based on the information received and providing information in response to an inquiry.

Abstract: A system for maintaining outage data provides for analysis of the data on a task by task basis. The data is electronically stored and used to generate reports, which may be provided automatically, and to determine best approaches to specific tasks. Monitoring of on-going tasks is also provided. The stored outage data is accessible both internal and external to the system.
