Title: Apparatus and associated methods to generate useable energy
Inventor: BASTOS RIBEIRO RENATO
IPC: F03B17/02
Filed: 2008-04-23
Granted: 2012-05-31
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and associated methods for generating energy by capturing and taking benefit of the energy generated by any quantity of air surfacing inside water. In exemplary embodiments, the apparatus comprises compressing a lower density gas in a liquid medium, allowing the gas to naturally rise to the surface of the liquid medium and then capturing the energy generated by the surfacing gas. An apparatus and method is disclosed to provide a low energy technique to compress air into water. In exemplary embodiments, air is introduced into water by simultaneously providing a low pressure area in the liquid medium and compressing the air into the low pressure area. By compressing the air into water in low pressure areas, the energy required to compress the air is greatly reduced. The amount of energy generated by the rising air is less than the amount of energy required to compress air underneath the water.

Title: Two-element tandem flexible joint
Inventor: PEREIRA JESNER H
IPC: F16L27/103
Filed: 2009-02-24
Granted: 2012-07-05
Abstract: A flexible joint (27) has an extension (54) mounted to a housing (51,52) for relative angular displacement. Two or more annular elastomeric flex elements (61,62) are stacked in a co-axial fashion and joined mechanically to mount the extension (54) to the housing (51,52) so that the flex elements react in parallel to angular and axial displacements of the extension with respect to the housing so that tensile load upon the extension (54) places each of the flex elements (61,62) in compression to split and share the tensile load among the flex elements in proportion to their relative axial stiffnesses. Therefore, for a given housing size or footprint, the overall load capacity is increased, and the lifetime of the flexible joint is increased for a given load capacity. The flex elements may have a common center of rotation, and the flex elements may be disposed either on the same side of the center of rotation or on opposite sides.

Title: Evaluation and adjustment of settlement value curves
Inventor: IYER SUNEEL
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2009-12-04
Granted: 2014-05-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a method that is useful in connection with providing discount factors for an exchange-traded mark-to-market derivative product that has a variable tick rate, such as an interest rate swap product. In some embodiments, the method includes providing a series of consecutive settlement values, which collectively represent a settlement value curve for the derivative product. The curve is evaluated by determining, for each consecutive pair of settlement values, whether the difference between the first settlement value in the pair and the second settlement value in the pair exceeds a threshold. The threshold represents the value at which a discount factor derived from said pair of settlement values, in conjunction with other parameters, would be negative. In other embodiments the disclosed invention encompasses an apparatus and a computer-readable medium.
