20130139515 | Integral gas turbine, flywheel, generator, and method for hybrid operation thereof - A power plant incorporating attributes of a gas turbine engine, flywheel, and electrical generator (hereafter turbine/flywheel or TF) in a single compact unit, having a compressor arrayed with magnets which weight the periphery of the TF. Intermittent combustion periods accelerate the TF to a first rotational velocity, then combustion ceases, and the inlet/outlet of the TF are sealed, causing it to self-evacuate. Conductive coils surround the TF. Magnetic flux between the magnets and coils acts as a motor/generator, electrically powering a load, and absorbing electrical power therefrom via regenerative braking; power out decelerating the TF (now a flywheel), power in accelerating it. A pressure accumulator accepts the TF exhaust, and is pressurized by the combustion periods. Between combustion periods, exhaust in the accumulator expands in a small pump/motor that drives a generator, routing electricity to the TF to raise its rotational velocity. | 06-06-2013 |

20150128597 | Sky condenser with vertical tube compression and pressurized water utilization - A floated condenser extracts water from the sky. The condenser is part of or supplemental to a typical buoyed wind turbine set, comprising lift element, wind turbine, retention cable, electrical output, and base. The cable is hollow or coextensive with a lumen, the inner diameter thereof is water impermeable. The hollow/lumen stacks water over an accumulator, effecting a static base pressure p=ρgh. This pressure makes the water utilizable. After pressure multiplication—via a hydrostatic piston—or not, a first stream of water electrolyzes into liquid hydrogen and oxygen, one or both stored/sold directly. Another stream of water drives a turbine/motor or series hydroelectric turbines/motors, powering electrolysis and/or grid, the water then stored at moderate pressure for water utilities. Excess power from the wind turbine also supplements electrical output. A conductor runs along the cable. Gasified hydrogen is routed via the cable, lifting the condenser/turbine/kite. | 05-14-2015 |

20090299284 | Balloon Catheter Tip Design - The present invention is directed to distal tip designs for catheter, wherein distal tip material is positioned about an inner shaft. The distal tip material may also be used as a tie layer for thermally bonding two incompatible materials together, such as a waist portion of a balloon to the inner shaft. | 12-03-2009 |
20100320169 | Balloon Cones and Waists Thinning Methodology - Medical balloons and balloon preforms are made by methods which include the step of selectively removing material from the proximal and/or distal ends of a segment. In the case of a thermoplastic material characterized by one or more glass transition temperatures, the segment may optionally be maintained at a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the segment during the material removal step. | 12-23-2010 |

20080232520 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EYE-OPENING BASED OPTIMIZATION - An eye opening measurement technique, that does not interrupt a receiver's normal operation, is used as a metric for optimizing any selected parameters of the receiver's operation. If eye opening size decreases, as a result of a change to a receiver parameter, the polarity for stepwise changes is reversed such that the next change is in the opposite direction. Other types of search procedures can be used. | 09-25-2008 |
20090290666 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVER PULSE RESPONSE DETERMINATION - A pulse response for a receiver, as an array PR, is found from the receiver's symbol stream. For a continuous stream of arbitrary data, a value of the array PR[k] can be determined from the signal levels of the symbols received. The stream of received data is input to a FIFO. Between the first and last locations of the FIFO is the symbol referred to herein as D | 11-26-2009 |
