Patent CA-2859264-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRADY WILLIAM LEWIS
IPC: E01C7/18
Filed: 2013-04-25
Abstract: Asphalt compositions comprising reclaimed asphalt and an ester-functional rejuvenating agent derived from tall oil are disclosed. Rejuvenated binder compositions are also included. The rejuvenating agents restore to reclaimed asphalt desirable properties of virgin asphalt. Reduced glass-transition onset temperatures and improved creep stiffness in the rejuvenated binders translate to improved low-temperature cracking resistance in the asphalt. The rejuvenating agents impart desirable softening at low dosage while also maintaining acceptable penetration values. Dynamic shear rheometry results demonstrate that criteria for asphalt compositions under low, intermediate, and high temperature conditions can be achieved, and the asphalt will have good fatigue cracking resistance and rutting avoidance. The rejuvenating agents reduce the temperature needed to compact or mix asphalt compositions, which conserves energy and reduces cost. The rejuvenated asphalt and binder compositions enable greater use of reclaimed asphalt, especially RAP, and help the road construction industry reduce its reliance on virgin, non-renewable materials.

Title: System and method for dynamically coordinating tasks, schedule planning, and workload management
Inventor: MEYER JOHN J
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2013-01-23
Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically coordinating a plurality of tasks are provided. Such tasks include a priority rank and at least one of a target date, a classification, an associated application, an associated action, and an associated priority rank adjustment parameter. A particular task can be processed relative to other tasks to generate a first scheduling scheme that defines a prioritized arrangement of the tasks. Based on the priority rank adjustment parameter(s), further scheduling schemes can be generated in lieu of the first scheduling scheme, thereby accounting for the respective priority rank adjustment parameters by influencing the arrangement of the tasks relative to one another. Additionally, based on a status notification, the tasks can be processed to generate a scheduling scheme that accounts for the status notification by influencing the arrangement of the first task and the stored tasks relative to one another.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems, including computer program products, for optimizing and controlling the energy consumption of a building. A first computing device generates a set of thermal response coefficients for the building based on energy characteristics of the building and weather data associated with the location of the building. The first computing device predicts an energy response of the building based on the set of thermal response coefficients and forecasted weather associated with the location of the building. The first computing device selects minimal energy requirements of the building based on an energy consumption cost associated with the building. The first computing device determines one or more temperature set points for the building based on the energy response and the minimal energy requirements. The first computing device transmits the one or more temperature set points to a thermostat of the building.

Title: Method of producing alcohols
Inventor: MILLER JORGE
IPC: C07C67/11
Filed: 2012-02-08
Abstract: A method of making alcohols involves forming of alcohol esters from liquid alkane halides and a solution of metallic salts of organic acids to produce gaseous alcohol esters for reaction with magnesium or metal hydroxides to form the alcohol and the metal salt of the organic acids. In an improvement method, liquid phase alcohol esters instead of gaseous alcohol esters are produced from liquid alkane halides and a solution of metal salts of organic acids whose alkane esters are less soluble in water than that of the alkane halide and treating of the alcohol ester formed with magnesium or metal hydroxides to form the alcohol and the metal salt of the organic acids.

Abstract: In a method for operating a gas turbine (11), NOx is removed from the exhaust gases of the gas turbine (11) by means of a selective catalysis device (14) with the addition of NH3. The method achieves an extremely low NOx content while simultaneously achieving economic consumption of NH3 and avoiding NH3 in the exhaust gas by maintaining the NOx content of the exhaust gas at a constant level via a regulated return of a portion of the exhaust gas in varying operating conditions of the gas turbine (11), and by adjusting the addition of the NH3 in the selective catalysis device (14) to the constant NOx level.

Title: High efficiency control system for the conversion of electrical energy to thermal energy
Inventor: PIETSCH ANTON
IPC: B61H9/06
Filed: 2013-04-12
Abstract: An improved control arrangement is used in a high power rectifier and comprises two or more power controllers ganged together in parallel. Each power controller rectifies an AC voltage signal using zero voltage crossing switching to produce a binary switched signal and each power controller is connected to an independent connectible load. Each power controller includes a fast acting binary power switch that selectively connects the respective independent connectible load to the rectified AC voltage signal. The control arrangement selectively activates the power controllers to define a desired connected load. This high power rectifier and control arrangement is advantageously used to provide fast up down power regulation to a grid by selective storage of thermal energy and deriving power from the thermal energy storage system to add fill in power to the grid.
