20150100187 | METHOD OF OPERATING AN ELECTRIC OR HYBRID VEHICLE - A method of controlling a motor in a hybrid electric vehicle mitigates the risk of an incorrectly wired or incorrectly connected wiring harness. Following the connection or re-connection of a wiring harness, the vehicle responds to a torque request by limiting the magnitude of the motor torque until the proper direction of torque is confirmed. A flag is then set to record that torque direction has been confirmed so that the vehicle can respond normally to future requests. Several events may indicate that a wiring harness has been re-connected. | 04-09-2015 |

The compressor is operable to compress natural gas received at the input for delivery at the output. A liquefied gas source is also in fluid communication with the wellbore. | 09-18-2014 |
20150240147 | AQUEOUS SOLUTION AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURE AND USE - Oilfield treatment compositions contain water, hydrochloric acid and urea. The urea and water may be present at a urea/water weight ratio between 0.8 and 12.0, and the hydrochloric acid and urea may be present at a urea/hydrochloric acid molar ratio between 0.1 and 0.5. The compositions are present as one liquid phase. The volumes of the compositions are substantially higher than those of the water volumes; consequently, the amount of water necessary to perform various well-service operations is lower. | 08-27-2015 |

20090041840 | Positive wakeup pharmaceutical sleep system with compatible pre-bedtime administration - A novel sleep regulating pharmaceutical formulation is introduced, typically implementing two principal drugs having actions which are reversive to one another, yet incorporated into a unitary solid dosage, and prepared for oral administration before bedtime. Usually, structure is configured to initially release a calmative or other sleep-compatible substance by prompt dissolution. The initial release is followed by a specific period of delay, which in basic formulations entails no release of any drug, and which allows a nominal interval of sleep. At the terminus of the delay, a final agent is released to induce wakeup. Incorporation of agents of opposite action within a unitary dosage form renders utility which is uniquely appropriate to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, delay of release and final delivery of wakeup agent are arranged by a dialysis membrane which eventually bursts as a result of osmotic pressure generated by a hydrophilic core. | 02-12-2009 |
