The engine includes an output shaft that is coupled to a rotor of the alternator. The generator further includes a first fan that initially directs air in a first direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the output shaft. A second fan that directs air in a second direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft. The generator further includes an enclosure such that the alternator, the engine, the first fan and the second fan are within the enclosure. In some embodiments, the generator may further include a third fan that directs air in the direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft and a fourth fan that directs air in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft. | 05-09-2013 |

20130230386 | Diffuser Seal for Geared Turbofan or Turboprop Engines - A diffuser seal for an aft end of a high pressure compressor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The diffuser seal includes a flow guide carrier coupled to the diffuser case. The flow guide carrier is also coupled to a static seal. The static seal engages a rotary seal and permits air flow through the static and rotary seals in the aft direction. The flow guide carrier is also coupled to a fairing and a fairing/hub support. The flow guide carrier supports the fairing in a spaced-apart position with respect to the rear hub so that air flowing through the static and rotary seals passes between a forward surface of the fairing and the rear hub. The fairing/hub support extends forward from the flow guide support and engages an aft surface of the fairing thereby limiting movement of the rear hub and fairing in the aft direction. This design helps to prevent parts or debris from piercing the rear hub and entering the high pressure turbine in the even of a fan blade-out or fan blade-off event. | 09-05-2013 |

20120323816 | Method of Strategy Selection for Investment Portfolios - A method for attaining a financial goal. Using a computer, an individual makes decisions that include whether or not to engage a skilled investor to select an investment mix of asset classes; to then produce a starting investment portfolio by populating the selected investment mix with appropriate assets; and to monitor and adjusting the investment portfolio over time. These determine a path along a decision tree. A computer may then determine the likelihood of meeting the financial goal. The investment mix of asset classes may be determined using computer-generated tables of rolling average, historic returns. The computer may also cross-check an estimated return of the selected mix to ensure that a needed return may be attained. An investment portfolio is then created by populating the asset classes with appropriate assets. The investment portfolio may be monitored and periodically readjusted back to the original mix of asset classes. | 12-20-2012 |
