20130092074 | SAFETY FLAG FOR A WATERCRAFT - The present invention provides a safety flag for a watercraft that comprises an elongated pole, a pennant flag and a connector having upper, intermediate and bottom portions. The upper portion of the connector has an aperture for receiving the bottom portion of the pole. The intermediate portion of the connector has a shoulder for abutting against the upper surface of wall. The bottom portion of the connector is at least partially made of a flexible elastomeric material such that, in use, a user can insert the bottom portion in a watercraft aperture by rotating or pressing the connector up to a position wherein the shoulder abuts a watercraft wall and the safety flag is maintained in a stand up position. | 04-18-2013 |

20100253512 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ASSESS SIGNAL SIMILARITY WITH APPLICATIONS TO DIAGNOSTICS AND PROGNOSTICS - Signal processing technology for assessing dynamic system similarity for fault detection and other applications is based on time- and frequency-domain time series analysis techniques and compares the entire autocorrelation structure of a test and reference signal series. The test and reference signals are first subjected to similar pre-processing to help guarantee signal stationarity. Pre-processing may include formation of multivariate signal clusters, filtering and sampling. Multivariate periodograms or autocovariance functions are then calculated for each signal series. Test statistics are computed and assessed to determine the equality of the test and reference signals. When the difference between sample autocovariance functions or periodograms of such signals exceeds a preselected threshold value, fault detection signals and/or related diagnostic information are provided as output to a user. | 10-07-2010 |
20130263651 | DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF FAILURES OF POWER GENERATING EQUIPMENT DURING TRANSIENT CONDITIONS - Monitoring of transient operation of a turbine includes identifying a start condition and a stop condition for the transient operation and defining a path from the start condition to the stop condition wherein the path comprises a plurality of sequentially arranged sub-segments. Also, a respective value is obtained of each of a plurality of operating parameters for each respective sub-segment of the path and, then, for each of the respective sub-segments, a determination is made if the respective value of each of the plurality of operating parameters matches a respective predetermined allowable value for that particular operating parameter. | 10-10-2013 |

20100018026 | ARBITRARILY SHAPED DEPLOYABLE MESH REFLECTORS - A method and apparatus for making a mesh reflector that may be used to produce a shaped reflector is provided. The mesh reflector may be an umbrella-style deployable mesh reflector capable of approximating both parabolic and arbitrarily shaped reflecting surfaces, including those with regions of reversed curvature. The reflecting surface may be provided by a soft mesh attached to a highly pre-tensioned net composed of two sets of substantially parallel chords forming a plurality of parallelogram-shaped facets. The net/mesh may be made to conform to the desired shape by pulling and/or pushing on it at each of its facet corners via a set of finely adjustable tension ties and/or compression rods, the distal ends of which react against a set of pre-tensioned catenary-shaped chords disposed on the aft side of the mesh. The net/mesh and the aft catenaries may be supported and pretensioned by a set of substantially stiff radial ribs connected to a central hub by a means capable of providing high deployment torque and a means for controlling and coordinating the deployment of the ribs so that they reach their fully deployed positions nearly simultaneously. Methods for fabricating the mesh and attaching it to the net are also provided. | 01-28-2010 |
