Patent EP-2611345-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LOUIS JEFFREY S
IPC: A47L11/29
Filed: 2011-09-01
Abstract: An extractor-type surface cleaning machine includes a base or foot having a suction nozzle and a handle that is pivotally coupled to the foot and moveable between upright and inclined positions. The recovery tank is removably securable to the foot and fluidly communicates with the suction nozzle and the accessory. The recovery tank defines a collection chamber and a passage having an inlet in communication with the suction nozzle and an outlet. A valve member is moveable between a closed position substantially covering the outlet and an open position. Movement of the handle to the upright position moves the valve member to the closed position to block the passage during cleaning with the accessory hose. Movement of the handle to the inclined position allows movement of the valve member to the open position so that suction from the collection chamber is communicated to the suction nozzle for floor cleaning.

Abstract: A system for operating a combustor includes a nozzle and a fuel passage and diluent passage through the nozzle. A fuel supply is in fluid communication with the fuel inlet, and a diluent supply is in fluid communication with the diluent inlet and the fuel inlet. A method for operating a combustor includes flowing a fuel through a fuel inlet in a nozzle and flowing a diluent through a diluent inlet in the nozzle. The method further includes sensing an operating parameter of the combustor, generating a signal reflective of the operating parameter, and controlling a flow of at least one of air or diluent to the fuel inlet based on the signal reflective of the operating parameter.
Patent EP-2506405-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CULLEN JOHN JAMES ANTHONY
IPC: H02K55/04
Filed: 2012-03-21
Abstract: A machine such as a ship's engine has a superconducting component 15 requiring cooling for its operation, and includes a cooling system 40. The cooling system is operable in first and second modes. In a cool-down phase the cooling system is run in the first mode providing relatively high heat transfer from the superconducting component. On attainment of a desired operating temperature the cooling system is run in the second mode, providing lower heat transfer. This enables a reduced cool-down time of the machine, while allowing economical operation in normal service. 
     The higher level of cooling in the first mode used during the start-up procedure can involve a colder cryogen, or a greater flow of coolant. One way of achieving the latter is to circulate the coolant in normally evacuated regions 16 during the cool-down phase, and then re-establishing the vacuum in these regions for normal service operation.

Abstract: A window shade that reduces the risk of an individual becoming entangled in cords used to operate the shade includes a headrail adapted for horizontal mounting above a window, a shading material attached to the headrail, and at least one cord for raising and lowering the shading material. The cord is attached to a location adjacent a lower end of the material, and extends upward through cord guides toward the headrail. The cord is encased within a collapsible shroud attached to each cord guide. The shroud is adapted to longitudinally extend as the shading material is lowered toward a deployed position, and then longitudinally collapse as the shading material is raised toward a stowed position.

Abstract: A content player presents content and determines to record an associated macro. The content player detects inputs and includes the inputs along with corresponding times in the macro. When the content player subsequently provides access to the content, the content player executes the macro, executing the inputs at the corresponding times. In some cases, a number of the inputs may be associated with a single operation and the operation may be recorded instead of the individual inputs. In some cases, the content player may record an input unless a prior indication is received specifying not to include the next input. In other cases, the content player may only record an input if a prior indication is received specifying to include the next input. In one or more implementations, the content player may provide access to one or more recorded macros so that the macros may be edited.
