20100125383 | ELECTRONIC METHOD OF CONTROLLING PROPULSION AND REGENERATION FOR ELECTRIC, HYBRID-ELECTRIC AND DIESEL-ELECTRIC MARINE CRAFTS, AND AN APPARATUS THEREFOR - A method of programming and setting parameters for a computer unit that regulates the interface between the operator of a marine vessel and the vessel's electric generation and propulsion systems. The invention describes the regulation of energy producing devices, energy storage devices and drive motors and propellers in both propulsion and regeneration modes. This invention simplifies and automates most of the operation of marine electric, hybrid electric, or diesel electric propulsion because the only controls requiring operator intervention are three generator modes: OFF, AUTO and ON, an alarm, an override switch and one or more throttle(s). This helm control can be duplicated in different areas of the vessel. All automatic modes required to regulate forward movement, reverse, emergency power, zero drag, propeller freeze and regeneration are all controlled by a logic using a combination of generator mode, the position of the throttles, the speed and the stored parameters of the vessel. | 05-20-2010 |

20120101671 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTOMATING, CONTROLLING, AND OPTIMIZING THE OPERATION OF ONE OR MORE ENERGY STORAGE UNITS AND A COMBINED SERIAL AND PARALLEL HYBRID MARINE PROPULSION SYSTEM - A method of integrating, optimizing and combining in a marine hybrid system, the operation of one or more variable speed high voltage direct current (HVDC) generator(s), one or more energy storage units and a combination of one or more HVDC parallel hybrid and serial hybrid propulsion systems through use of an Energy Management Computer. One aspect of the invention involves the application of logic programming to automate the optimization and the operation of the Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) so that whenever the system requires their usage, they are operated at optimum efficiency conditions. For an ICE to operate at peak efficiency a combination of a large energy storage unit used as a buffer combined with a mixture of both a serial and a parallel hybrid system is used. | 04-26-2012 |

20140110074 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING WATER LOSS IN A PAPER MILL - A method and system for reducing waste water from a paper machine system. The system involves splitting a flow output from a seal water tank. With a portion of the flow output being used to maintain a fluid level within a wire pit, and the balance being recycled to the system as substantially clean water. | 04-24-2014 |
