Title: System and method for virtual rental fleet, modeling a simulated fleet of assets and disposing of assets
Inventor: SUHY ANDY F
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A system for managing assets, and facilitating electronic commerce respecting the assets includes a computerized database for storing asset profiles for a plurality of assets. The asset profiles, each include an asset specification and a bid definition. The asset specification includes maintenance history data for the asset and the bid definition outlines the bounds for one of sale, rental or lease of the asset. Users of the system may search the database remotely over the Internet for desired assets, and retrieve detailed information, such as maintenance history, and then bid on the asset for purchase, rental, or lease. Users can also add their own assets to the database for search by others. The system also includes a fantasy fleet feature for conducting "what if" analyses of a simulated fleet containing existing assets and proposed assets.

Title: Pile a combustible et technologie a puce
Inventor: MARSH STEPHEN A
IPC: H01M4/86
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne une pile à combustible formée sur une plaquette semi-conductrice par formation d'un canal sur la plaquette et par formation d'une barrière membrane d'échange de protons dans le canal gravé. La barrière divise le canal en deux canaux. Un combustible à hydrogène est introduit dans une des deux parties et un oxydant est introduit dans l'autre. L'hydrogène réagit avec un catalyseur formé sur une anode du côté hydrogène du canal afin de libérer des ions hydrogène (protons) qui sont absorbés dans la membrane. Les protons migrent à travers la membrane et se combinent aux électrons de retour sur la cathode du côté oxydant de la membrane, puis avec l'oxygène pour former de l'eau.

Abstract: A printing apparatus is provided in which confidential prints
are kept secret from each other even when congested by passwords
for a plurality of confidential prints being entered in
succession. Pointers are provided at the respective ends of a
confidential print job queue and a normal print job queue in a
queue management unit 16. New print jobs are stored into the
corresponding ends. When a user enters a valid password for a
confidential print job A from an input unit 19, a control unit 11
releases the hold status of the confidential print job A. The
control unit 11 also refers to the end pointer for confidential
print jobs and moves the confidential print job A to the end of
the confidential print jobs. When a normal print job a is
completed, the control unit 11 skips held confidential print jobs
B and D, and processes the confidential print job A which is the
first released of the hold status. Then, a normal print job bl is
executed so that no confidential print job follows immediately.

recovery boiler supplies outlet steam, as a
cooling steam, to a combustor 117 through a steam
channel 116. The flow rate of steam guided into

intermediate-pressure drum 106 becomes a set value
set according to a load status of a gas turbine
101. A required amount of steam according to the

Abstract: An orthopaedic method and anchor assemblies for anchoring a linkage such as a rod
or cable used for fixation or reduction. One assembly includes an anchor plate and a
slotted anchor bolt that captures the plate in a one-piece assembly for convenient
installation. The base of the anchor bolt lies below the plate, and a cap or nut tightens
down to secure a linking member, e.g., a rod or cable, in the slot, simultaneously clamping
the bolt to fix both its position and its orientation on the plate. One occipital plate has
lateral arms that hold the anchor bolts, and a Y-shaped embodiment is mounted in an
inverted orientation to position the anchor bolts well down in soft tissue for more effective
wound closure. A cable connector is used together with an anchor plate, vertebra anchor
screws and fixation rods to secure ends of a cable at the level of one or more vertebrae,
providing a versatile and highly stable system for alignment, fixation and fusing of the
cervical and thoracic spine. The cable connectors have an open-sided channel that fits onto
and securely clamps to an already-positioned fixation rod, with an eyelet or other structure
providing a rigid and fixed securing point for a cable that is threaded about the vertebrae
under tension. Methods of fixation are described.

Abstract: The problem of assembling electronic components onto circuits automatically, while retaining maximum frequency response, is solved by this invention. An electronic component (1) with leads (2, 3), such as a microwave choke, resistor, capacitor, or switch, is assembled in a totally electrically non-conductive carrier (21). Each lead from the component has an end attached to the carrier by non-metallic means (24). At least one lead from the component has an unobstructed length between the end of the lead and the component for direct electrical bonding of the lead to a contact in a circuit. By minimizing the lead length between the component and the contact point, and directly attaching the lead to the contact with minimum solder or other described means, electrical reflections and resonances are eliminated. This technology is exemplified in a broadband microwave choke offering frequency response of 300 Khz to 60 Ghz.

Abstract: An active gain region sandwiched between a 100% reflective bottom Bragg mirror and an intermediate partially reflecting Bragg mirror is formed on a lower surface of a supporting substrate, to thereby provide the first ("active") resonator cavity of a high power coupled cavity surface emitting laser device. The bottom mirror is preferably in direct thermal contact with an external heat sink for maximum heat removal effectiveness. The reflectivity of the intermediate mirror is kept low enough so that laser oscillation within the active gain region will not occur. The substrate is entirely outside the active cavity but is contained within a second ("passive") resonator cavity defined by the intermediate mirror and a partially reflecting output mirror, where it is subjected to only a fraction of the light intensity that is circulating in the gain region. The active gain region is preferably electrically excited, with a circular bottom electrode formed by an oxide current aperture between the bottom mirror and the heat sink, and with an annular top electrode formed on an upper surface of the substrate.
