Inventor: KERWIN JOHN M
IPC: A61G5/04
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: A system and method for controlling a device such that device operates in a smooth manner. The system may switch between control architectures or vary gain coefficients used in a control loop to control the device. As the architecture or gains are switched, the control signal may be smoothed so that the device does not experience an abrupt change in the control signal it receives. In one embodiment, the control signal may be smoothed by adding a decaying offset value to the control signal to create a smoothed control signal that is applied to the device.

IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2007-02-13
Abstract: The present invention provides technology for controlling, or tuning, the catalytic activity of gold provided upon nanoporous supports such as those derived from nanoparticulate, crystalline titania. In some aspects of practice, the surface of nanoparticulate media incorporated into a catalyst system of the present invention is provided with chemical modifications of the surface that dramatically suppress the ability of the resultant catalyst system to oxidize hydrogen. Yet, the system still readily oxidizes CO. In other words, by selecting and/or altering the nanoparticulate surface via the principles of the present invention, PROX catalysts are readily made from materials including catalytically active gold and nanoparticulate media.  Additionally, the nanoparticulate support also may be optionally thermally treated to further enhance selectivity for CO oxidation with respect to hydrogen. Such thermal treatments may occur before or after chemical modification, but desirably occur prior to depositing catalytically active gold onto the support incorporating the nanoparticles.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for fast updating of oil and gas field production optimization using physical and proxy simulators. A base model (30) of a reservoir (100), well (100), or a pipeline network (100) is established in one or more physical simulators (26). A  decision management system (24) is used to define uncertain parameters for matching with observed data (114). A proxy model is used to fit the uncertain parameters to outputs of the physical simulators (26), determine sensitivities of the uncertain parameters, and compute correlations between the uncertain parameters and output data from the physical simulators (26). Parameters for which the sensitivities are below a threshold are eliminated. The decision management system (24) validates parameters which are output from the proxy model in the simulators (26). The validated parameters are used to make production decisions.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for a system (100) and method (800) (900) for preserving bandwidth in data networks. The method (800) (900) includes determining whether to perform functional redundancy processing for a current data set (840) (940). Determining whether to perform functional redundancy processing for a current data set may be conducted according to redundancy rules. In performing functional redundancy processing, the method includes searching at least one queue for a data set that is functionally redundant to the current data set (850) (950). The searching may be conducted according to redundancy rules. If a queued data set is found to be functionally redundant to the current data set, the queued data set may be dropped from the queue and the current data set added to the queue (860) (960). In such a manner, functionally redundant messages are dropped prior to transmission and bandwidth is optimized.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the design and construction of diverse peptide and polypeptide libraries. In particular, the invention concerns methods of analytical database design for creating datasets using multiple relevant parameters as filters, and methods for generating sequence diversity by directed multisyntheses oligonucleotide synthesis. The present methods enable the reduction of large complex annotated databases to simpler datasets of related sequences, based upon relevant single or multiple key parameters that can be individually directly defined. The methods further enable the creation of diverse libraries based on this approach, using multisynthetic collections of discrete and degenerate oligonucleotides to capture the diverse collection of sequences, or portions thereof.

Title: System and process for converting non-fresh water to fresh water
Inventor: ROSENBAUM ITZHAK
IPC: C02F1/04
Filed: 2009-04-22
Abstract: A method of converting seawater, waste water, brackish water and polluted water to fresh water, referred to as "The Rosenbaum-Weisz Process", is disclosed. This method utilizes high temperature electrolysis to decompose the seawater into hydrogen, oxygen and salts/minerals. The generated hydrogen and oxygen are then combusted in a high temperature combustor to generate superheated steam. The heat from the superheated steam is then removed by a high temperature heat exchanger system and recycled to the high temperature electrolysis unit. The superheated steam is then condensed, as a result of the heat extraction by the heat exchanger system, to produce fresh water. The recovered salts/minerals can be sold to generate additional revenue.
