Patent number: 10018357Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: MIDDLEBURY COLLEGEInventor: Michael William Moser

Publication number: 20080188854Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2008Publication date: August 7, 2008Inventor: Michael William Moser

Publication number: 20080072948Abstract: An internal combustion engine that includes a block, a cylinder head having an intake valve port and exhaust valve port formed therein, a piston, and a combustion chamber defined by the block, the piston, and the head. At least one thermoelectric device is positioned within either or both the intake valve port and the exhaust valve port. Each of the valves is configured to move within a respective intake and exhaust valve port thereby causing said valves to engage the thermoelectric devices resulting in heat transfer from the valves to the thermoelectric devices. The intake valve port and exhaust valve port are configured to fluidly direct intake air and exhaust gas, respectively, into the combustion chamber and the thermoelectric device is positioned within the intake valve port, and exhaust valve port, such that the thermoelectric device is in contact with the intake air and exhaust gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2007Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Andrew McGilvray, John Vachon, William Moser
