Title: Maintaining information in one or more virtual volume aggregates comprising a plurality of virtual volumes
Inventor: GIBBLE KEVIN LEE
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2003-08-13
Granted: 2010-09-21
Abstract: Information is maintained in one or more virtual volume aggregates comprising a plurality of virtual volumes. A plurality of virtual volumes is maintained in a first information storage medium, and forms one or more virtual volume aggregates, where each of the of virtual volumes is assigned to one of the virtual volume aggregates. The method further provides a plurality of second information storage media. The method then identifies the least recently used virtual volume, and writes the virtual volume aggregate comprising that least recently used virtual volume to one or more second information storage media.  Thereafter, the method determines if space is required on said first information storage medium. If space is required on said first information storage medium, the method selects the virtual volume aggregate comprising the least recently used virtual volume and removes from said first information storage medium each virtual volume in that selected virtual volume aggregate that has been written to one or more second information storage media.

Abstract: A computer implemented process (Fig. 1) is provided for assessing and characterizing the degree of success or failure of an operational event of a machine system such as a fluid compressor machine or turbine machine or the like on a continuous numerical scale. The computer implemented process develops and tracks machine unit signatures, machine site signatures and machine fleet signatures (110,120) to evaluate various operational events (140,150) and provide fault detection (130,160). At least some sensor data acquired from the machine system during an operational event is transformed to correct or at least reduce variabilities in the data caused by ambient conditions and fuel quality. The transformed data is then analyzed using statistical methods to determine how closely the operational event conforms to an expected normal behavior and the information is used to develop a single comprehensive quality assessment of the event. By saving, tracking and updating operational event assessments over time, machine/component degradation may be recognized at any early stage and corrective action may be initiated in advance of a catastrophic failure.

Abstract: Pollutants in a flue gas stream from a dryer of products, such as wood chips, are removed by a pollution abatement system that includes an electrified filter bed unit for removing solid particulates. To prevent deteriorated operation of the electrified filter bed unit due to condensation of volatile organic compounds, the flue gas stream is heated, prior to admission to the electrified filter bed unit, to a temperature sufficient to convert condensable liquid aerosols to a gaseous state. The electrified filter bed unit then removes solid particulate selectively without collecting condensable organics.      After the flue gas stream has passed through the electrified filter bed unit, gaseous pollutants can be removed by an oxidation process, for example.

Title: Echogenic needle for transvaginal ultrasound directed reduction of uterine fibroids and an associated method
Inventor: HURST BRADLEY SHAWN
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2004-01-13
Granted: 2010-12-21
Abstract: The invention is a transvaginal ultrasound probe having an attached echogenic needle that is useful in the treatment of uterine fibroids. The echogenic needle has an echogenic surface near its tip that allows the physician to visualize its location using ultrasound imaging. In one embodiment, the needle has an active electrode at its distal end. The active electrode supplies radio frequency energy to a fibroids causing necrosis of the targeted fibroid or by destroying the fibroid's vascular supply . The radio frequency needle preferably has a safety device that shuts-off energy if the needle punctures the uterine wall. In a second embodiment, the needle has a cryogen supply tube and cryogen supply. This embodiment destroys fibroid tissue by freezing it or its vascular supply when the tissue comes in contact with the needle's frozen distal end. The invention further includes the method of using the ultrasound probe with the attached needle.

Title: Surgical instrument incorporating electroactive polymer actuator blocking lockout mechanism
Inventor: SHELTON FREDERICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2005-07-22
Granted: 2013-02-19
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. The handle produces multiple firing strokes to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. One or more electrically activated lockout mechanisms, such as electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators, are biased to prevent firing unless activated. One lockout is a spring-biased side pawl firing mechanism enabled by an EAP block actuator. Another is a firing trigger EAP lock. Yet another is a closure yoke EAP lock. Yet a further one is a manual retraction EAP lock that locks the firing mechanism. Thereby, various sensed or commanded inputs may be incorporated to prevent inadvertent firing.

Abstract: A client for a text-based messaging application for a dual-mode mobile communication device may initiate an audio conference based on a text-based message. Contents of fields of the text-based message may be extracted and utilized to construct an audio conference request message that is subsequently transmitted to an audio conference gateway. Where the text-based messaging application is an instant messaging (IM) client application, it may be configured to recognize a voice connection as being related to an ongoing Data Mode IM conversation. As a consequence of the recognition, the IM client application may maintain the user interface for facilitating participation in the Voice Mode IM conversation. Updates related to the status of the Voice Mode IM conversation may be received at the dual-mode mobile communication device over the voice connection and reflected in changes to the user interface.

Abstract: A gas temperature control system for maintaining a desired economizer outlet gas temperature across a range of boiler loads comprises a plurality of tubular configurations having surfaces that are in contact with the flue gas. Each tubular configuration, preferably, comprises a plurality of serpentine or stringer tubes arranged horizontally or vertically back and forth within the economizer, and each tubular configuration having a separate feedwater inlet. Heat transfer from the flue gas is accomplished by controlling the feedwater flow rates through the tubular configurations. In a temperature control system having two tubular configurations, the overall heat transfer capacity of the economizer may be reduced to maintain the desired economizer outlet gas temperature during low boiler loads by reducing feedwater flow through one tubular configuration and by overflowing the other tubular configuration, such that total flow of feedwater through the economizer is maintained substantially constant. Feedwater flow rate entering the economizer may be used to engage/disengage the economizer water internal proportion or bias system. Once engaged, the measured feedwater flow to the economizer is used to generate a proportioned or biased flow rate demand signal. The demand signal is then compared to the measured underflow proportioned or biased flow rate. If there is a difference between the demand signal flow rate and the measured flow rate, control valve(s) modulating the proportioned or biased flow is/are adjusted.
