Title: Drain
Inventor: O'DONNELL RICHARD
IPC: E06B7/14
Filed: 2008-09-16
Abstract: A water drain for insertion into a mating wall opening in an extruded, hollow door or window sash or frame. A round, rectangular or the like housing having at least one peripheral front flange defining a drain opening is adapted for abutment against a wall of the sash or frame, said housing having a top wall portion and a bottom wall portion perpendicular to the front flange, and a pair of opposed side wall portions, a baffle extending downwardly from the housing top wall portion for partially closing an upper portion of the drain opening, and a flap having a lower planar rear surface and an upper planar front surface for opening and closing lower and upper portions of the drain opening. The planar lower rear surface portion is joined to the upper front surface portion by a pivot axis, the planar lower surface being disposed forwardly of the upper planar front surface whereby the flap tends to gravitate to an at-rest, closed, substantially vertical position. The flap has a lug extension at each end of the pivot axis for insertion into mating holes in said side wall portions of the housing for pivotal mounting of the flap in the housing drain opening, whereby the flap planar lower surface can pivot from a substantially vertical at-rest closed position to an open position for the drainage of water.

Title: Encoder signal analysis system for high-resolution position measurement
Inventor: SCHULTZE GARY
IPC: G01B7/14
Filed: 2007-02-05
Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying the position of a magnetic shaft are provided. N field sensors are adjacently positioned at fixed locations relative to the shaft's periodic field, corresponding to 180/N relative phase shifts. A table provides N>2 predetermined signal models and a pre-identified position associated with each. An interpolator compares a representation of the N measured sensor signals to at least two predetermined models to generate a correction signal that provides another pre-identified position. The correction signal depends on N sensors for every position of the shaft. The correction signal is used to incrementally choose said another pre-identified position from the table as an approximate position of the shaft in an iterative process to find the minimum correction signal and identify the position.

Title: Apparatus and method for detecting gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd)
Inventor: BAYLOR RICHARD A
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2007-04-06
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for detecting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the esophagus of a patient. A capsule with pH-sensitive dissolving properties is placed in the lower portion of the esophagus of the patient. The capsule is removed after a period of time, such as about 24 hours. The change in weight or volume of the capsule, or both, allows detection of acid reflux, i.e., the presence of acid in the esophagus for even a relatively short duration during the period of time. If the weight or volume change is significant, the capsule allows diagnosis of GERD. Alternatively, an amount of time during which the capsule was exposed to acid in the esophagus may be determined by dissolving the capsule remaining and using a solution property, such as conductivity, pH, color, or turbidity.

Title: Enhanced steam cycle utilizing a dual pressure recovery boiler with reheat
Inventor: OSBORNE STEVEN I
IPC: F01K23/04
Filed: 2009-03-20
Abstract: An enhanced steam cycle utilizing a dual pressure recovery boiler with reheat allows a large increase in electrical generation with various turbine cycles while overcoming traditional lower furnace material limitations. A dual pressure designed recovery boiler furnace is provided with a lower furnace and an upper furnace.  The lower furnace is operated at a lower temperature to prevent or reduce corrosion of the lower furnace wall tubes caused by the reducing environment. The lower furnace can be either a low pressure natural circulation steam generating (drum) system or economizer. Unlike the lower furnace, the upper furnace is not exposed to a reducing environment and is therefore not as susceptible to severe corrosion rates. The upper furnace is operated at higher temperatures and pressures which permit implementation of higher efficiency reheat steam cycles. The upper furnace thus operates as a high pressure natural circulation steam generating (drum) system, or as a once-through supercritical steam generating system. The dual pressure recovery boiler can thus be coupled to a variety of condensing, non-condensing or a combination of condensing and non-condensing turbine cycles to provide a large increase in electrical generation.

Title: System for sealing a dummy bar head in a mould of a continuous casting plant for casting large-format preliminary sections
Inventor: MEIER THOMAS
IPC: B22D11/16
Filed: 2009-05-21
Abstract: In a system for sealing a dummy bar head in a mould of a continuous casting plant for casting large-format preliminary sections, a flat gasket (6) to seal the gap between the dummy bar head and the mould is provided, which is held on a packing plate (7) contained on the dummy bar head. Said packing plate has approximately the cross-sectional shape of the mould profile and covers the flat gasket (6). The packing plate (7) is displaceable towards the centre of the mould by an amount which is a function of the conicity of the mould (3). To this end, it consists of two plate halves (7a, 7b) lying in one plane with respect to each other. This makes it possible, when inserting the dummy bar head, to compensate for the angled course of the mould with the contracting packing plate until the sealing gap between packing plate and mould remains uniform on all sides.
