Title: Exhaust turbine throttled normally aspirated and turbocharger throttled turbocharger eco-boost type engines
Inventor: BAYRAM PETER JOHN
IPC: H02K7/18
Filed: 2013-10-28
Abstract: Turbocharger (compressor 10/turbine 11) is braked by variable speed motor-generator (M-G) 8 controlled by a throttle position sensor (TPS) connected to a throttle control system (TCS) and engine control unit (ECU), and whose maximum speed is limÂ­ited by boost pressure sensor 15. M-G 8 outputs power to a variable speed M-G connected to the engine's crank, or to a battery-pack, upon throttle lift-off and when it is braked by a connected vehicle's braking system and accumulated power is subsequently discharged into the engine crank via the M-G connÂ­ected to the engine crank such that turbocharger engine throttling and the M-G 8 output increases or, less economically, boosts turbo pressure. When idling at low/sub-zero temperatures, bypass valve 13 is closed so that the engine becomes only exÂ­haust throttled, and at high ambient temperatures bypass valve 12 is closed so that compressor 10 adiabatically expansion refrigerates charge air, and intercooler bypass valve 23 opens when temperature sensors 21 & 22 sense such cooling. A similar Normally Aspirated system (fig.1) is also disclosed.

Title: System and method for performing wellbore fracture operations
Inventor: COHEN CHARLES-EDOUARD
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2012-07-30
Abstract: A method of performing an oilfield operation about a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation are provided. The method involves performing a fracture operation by generating fractures about the wellbore. The fractures define a hydraulic fracture network (HFN) about the wellbore. The method also involves generating a discrete fracture network (DFN) about the wellbore by extrapolating fracture data from the HFN. The DFN includes fracture branches with intersections therebetween and matrix blocks. The method also involves generating a depth of drainage through the DFN, defining production parameter (s), and performing a production operation to produce fluids from the subterranean formation based on the depth of drainage and the production parameter (s). The production operation may involve generating a flow rate through the DFN, generating a pressure profile of the DFN for an initial time based on the flow rate, and generating a production rate based on the pressure profile.

Inventor: MARSTON DAVID
IPC: G10L25/63
Filed: 2014-01-24
Abstract: In a method for automatic retrieval of audio content, features (eg. 63 different features such as tempo, loudness and spectral slope, Table 1) are derived from a sample audio file to produce an F-dimensional (eg. 32-D) vector which is converted into an M-dimensional (eg. 5-D) vector via a machine learning module acting on trained audio content (eg. 450 different mood keywords such as joyful, confident, exciting) in order to allow selection and retrieval of music audio files. A database of audio tracks having accurately chosen metadata may be used to train the machine learning in order to generate metadata (ie. estimate mood tags) without human input.

Title: Fuel cell electrodes and catalysts
Inventor: BAYATI MARYAM
IPC: H01M8/08
Filed: 2014-05-15
Abstract: A catalytic material may be formed by taking carbon nanotubes, contacting the carbon nanotubes with a polyelectrolyte chain containing nitrogen atoms, so as to coat the carbon nanotubes with the polyelectrolyte chain, and then heat treating the coated carbon nanotubes to a temperature of at least 200Â°C. A suitable polyelectrolyte is poly- (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDAC). A preferred heat treatment temperature is between 400Â° and 440Â°C, and the catalytic activity appears to decrease with higher treatment temperatures. The resulting material is suitable for use as an oxygen reduction catalyst in a fuel cell electrode. It avoids the costs involved with use of platinum as catalyst.
