Title: Method and apparatus for solar heating air in a forced draft heating system
Inventor: BURTON ANDY
IPC: F24S10/40
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: A solar heating system for use in combination with a forced draft heating system for heating ventilation air of a building. The solar heating system includes a solar collector assembly for heating a liquid circulated through the assembly. The heated liquid is stored in an insulated storage tank where it can be circulated through a heat exchanger positioned in an air duct of the forced draft heating system as need to heat air flow through the duct. The use of a liquid as the heat transfer fluid and providing a storage facility for heated liquid permits the heating system to operate for a period of time after the sun sets or becomes ineffective in providing solar radiation until the heat stored in the liquid becomes exhausted. To increase the heat storage capacity of the liquid, one or more heat sinks can be utilized to absorb excess heat from the liquid and then transfer the absorbed heat back to the liquid when an opposite thermal gradient exists.  Additionally, the heating system can recover waste heat from hot combustion gases exhausted from a fuel-fired forced draft heating system.

Title: System and method of mapping and analyzing vulnerabilities in networks
Inventor: GORMAN SEAN P
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-07-28
Abstract: Systems and Methods for mapping and analyzing networks are taught. Network line data is converted into point data. The point data is associated with cells of a grid overlaying the network. A number of points in each of the cells of the grid is determined. The number of points in one cell of the grid is compared to the number of points in other cells of the grid to determine the infrastructure in each of the cells of the grid. It is determined how the infrastructure in one cell is spatially related to the infrastructure in other cells in order to rank cell criticality. Cell criticality rankings are sequentially removed from the grid to determine consequential impact on network properties of the grid.

Inventor: ZHARINOV KONSTANTIN ANATOLYEVI
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2005-07-04
Abstract: The invention relates to analytical instrument engineering and can be used for designing calibrating patterns of measuring devices for determining one or several secondary properties of an unknown sample on the basis of the measuring results of a plurality of the primary properties thereof. The inventive method consists in selecting a calibrating set for samples whose secondary properties are known and are defined by means of reference methods, in measuring the primary properties of each said sample by means of a reference device, in converting the measuring results into a form corresponding to the calibratable device, in forming a calibrating pattern enabling to define the analysed secondary properties of the unknown sample on the basis of the measurement of the plurality of primary properties thereof measured by means of the calibratable device. Said method is  characterised in that  the mathematics for the calibration translations are determined by selecting the combination of samples therefor and the primary properties of each sample are measured by the reference and calibratable devices. The selection of an independent multidimensional calibrating pattern is carried out by comparing the results and by using a method for verifying the accuracy thereof, thereby taking into account the non-linear differences of technical parameters of the calibratable and reference devices and the operating conditions.

Abstract: A method is provided for evaluating a protected plant having a protection mechanism. A population of immature insects (i.e., larvae or nymphs) belonging to an insect species having a plurality of instars is first exposed to the protected plant such that the protected plant is at least contacted thereby.  The insect exposure extends for a selected time period corresponding to a sublethal exposure of the insect population to the protected plant. The exposure of the insect population to the protected plant is then halted following the selected time period and insects collected. A physical characteristic of at least some collected insects is measured and the immature insects are then sorted into instars. The measured physical characteristics are then statistically analyzed across the instars so as to determine an efficacy of the protection mechanism of the protected plant with respect to the insect population. Associated methods are also provided.

Title: Bi-toroid transformer
Inventor: HEINS THANE CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01F27/38
Filed: 2007-07-18
Abstract: The invention provides a means of increasing transformer efficiency above 100%. The transformer consists of a single primary coil and two secondary coils. The two secondary coils are set on a secondary core toroid which is designed to be maintained at a lower reluctance than the primary core toroid throughout the transformer's entire operating range.  When the transformer secondary delivers current to a load the subsequent induced back EMF is not allowed to couple back to the primary due to the higher reluctance flux path.  Instead the secondary coil's induced back EMF follows the path of least reluctance into the adjacent secondary coil.
