Abstract: Provided is an Ni-based single crystal superalloy wherein the ingredients have a composition containing, as ratio by mass, from 5.0% by mass to 7.0% by mass of Al, from 4.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Ta, from 0% by mass to 2.0%  by mass of Mo, from 3.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of W, from 3.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Re, from 0% by mass to 0.50% by mass of Hf, from 3.0% by mass to 7.0% by mass of Cr, from 0% by mass to 9.9% by mass of Co and from 1.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass of Ru, with the balance of Ni and inevitable impurities. The alloy prevents TCP phase precipitation at high temperatures, therefore having improved strength at high temperatures and having oxidation resistance at high temperatures.   The above-mentioned first-generation alloy CMSX-2 and second-generation alloy CMSX-4 are, though comparable thereto in point of creep strength at low temperatures, inferior to third-generation alloys in point of creep strength at high temperatures, since a large quantity of eutectic .gamma.'-phase remains therein even after high-temperature solution treatment.

Inventor: HOWARD CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-08-28
Abstract: The domain name of the website in which a knowledge worker is working is used to obtain a parser program that is specific to the domain. The parser program is then sent back to the browser on which the knowledge worker is viewing information and extracts content metadata from the website in which the knowledge worker is working. In one embodiment, the parser program extracts content metadata from the webpage displayed in the browser.  In another embodiment, the parser program navigates from the webpage that is being displayed in the browser to another webpage that contains content metadata and extracts the content metadata from that other page. In still another embodiment, content metadata, such as a publication title, that is returned to the rights advisor website via the parser is 'normalized' to obtain a standard identifier that is, in turn, used to determine rights for the content.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the power consumption of an electronic display.    A maximum current value may be selected where above this value the risk to damage to the display or local circuitry may be jeopardized.  Ramp-wise and/or gradual controls of the display parameters such as fan speed and backlight levels may reduce the current draw during extreme situations and line voltage fluctuations. Embodiments allow the display to continue operation without risking an overload of the local circuit or damage to the display. Further embodiments may be used to limit the power consumption of a display in order to minimize energy usage. Several parameters can be measured and controlled simultaneously to provide a minimal amount of energy usage while minimizing any noticeable difference in images.

Abstract: An engine having DME pilot ignition is disclosed. DME Pilot ignition creates far more energy than a conventional spark plug, thus minimizes the possibility of misfire in the engine map. DME injection can be used in a number of ways. In one embodiment, DME injection replaces the conventional spark plug in an Otto cycle engine. In another embodiment, DME injection is used in addition to spark ignition to minimize the use of DME. In this embodiment, DME  injection is only used during those portions of the engine map where misfire may occur, or during those times when a misfire sensor detects misfire.  DME injection can also be used in conjunction with alcohol boosting in other embodiments.
