20150256043 | Systems and Methods for Preventing Rotation of Rotor Bearings in a Stator - Systems and methods for preventing rotation of rotor bearings in electric motors which enable retrofitting of conventionally designed bearings to use spring-loaded keys instead of elastomeric T-rings to prevent rotation while allowing axial movement of the bearings within a stator bore. An elongated, curved spring arm is positioned in the nesting groove at the outer periphery of the bearing. One end of the spring may be secured to the bearing by positioning an S-shaped bend in the spring arm through a hole in the floor of the nesting groove. A key at the opposite end of the spring arm is urged radially outward by the spring arm. The key may be positioned in a slot in the outer portion of the bearing, and the spring arm may be retained in the groove by a retaining pin installed in the groove. | 09-10-2015 |

20110066296 | Method and Apparatus for Control of an Electric Power Distribution System in Response to Circuit Abnormalities - A methodology and related system apparatus is provided to most efficiently and flexibly respond to abnormalities to reconfigure and restore service to end customers in commodity distribution systems to enhance the circuit reconfiguration in an electrical power distribution system. Methodology is also provided to appropriately allocate system resources of the distribution system to prevent the potential overloading of electrical power sources. In one illustrative arrangement, the methodology is characterized by resources at each node and communications of source allocation data or messages to other nodes to request and establish an appropriate allocation of system resources. In a preferred arrangement and especially useful for larger distribution systems, “teams” of nodes are defined in the distribution system having associated switching controls with the various teams communicating amongst each other to “negotiate” or work out the most efficient and expeditious reconfiguration of the system in response to fault conditions and other circuit abnormalities. | 03-17-2011 |

20090259682 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGNING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS - A method for generating specification requirements for an Information Technology development project has been developed. First, a framework is created for decomposing and categorizing organizational information into data elements that include project design requirements. These data elements are then stored in a data repository. A relationship is defined between the data elements and corresponding project information provided by the end-user. These defined relationships are also stored in the data repository. Next, a guided facilitation process is used to elicit objective information from the end-user regarding objectives for new technology. Also, specification information is collected from the end-user based upon the objective information. The requirements for the project are determined from the end-user based upon the specification information. This continues until informational needs pertinent to the various types and categories of requirements have been specified. Then the data elements in the data repository are mapped with the corresponding informational needs. Finally, a standards requirement document for the project is generated using the mapped data elements from the data repository. | 10-15-2009 |
