20140299007 | Method and apparatus for collecting and removing refuse from an underground mine - A hydraulically operated compaction device is mounted on a mobile support frame and is dragged by a mine utility vehicle through an underground mine for the collection of waste material generated from the mining operations. The waste material is deposited into a compaction chamber and compacted in a receiver of the compaction device. Hydraulic power is supplied from a hydraulic power takeoff on the utility vehicle to actuate the compaction device to compact the waste material in the receiver. When the receiver is filled with compacted waste material, the mine utility vehicle moves the compaction device to a location in the mine where the compaction device is transported out of the mine for pick-up by a commercial waste hauler. By collecting and compacting waste material in the mine, the frequency of hauls of waste material from the mine and the associated costs are substantially reduced. | 10-09-2014 |

20120005056 | Systems and Methods for Determining a United States Average Retirement Age Index - Systems and methods for determining a U.S. average retirement age index, the index including a year and week. The method determines a wealth at death of an average U.S. couple for a first retirement age. If wealth at death is greater than zero, the retirement age is decreased by one and the wealth at death value is recalculated. This process continues until the wealth at death value is less than zero, at which point the year of the retirement age index is determined by adding one to the current year of the retirement age. The week of the retirement age index is determined by: dividing the opposite of a wealth at death value for the year prior to the year of the U.S. average retirement age index by a wealth delta and multiplying the result by fifty-two. | 01-05-2012 |

20130262502 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS QUERY PROCESSING - The invention relates to a method and system that provide a continuous querying mechanism that analyses real-time data streams to generate relevant results. It leverages data grid and event processing technology to provide a high performance and extremely scalable continuous querying solution. An embodiment of the invention provides a flexible querying language and data storage to allow users to register their interest in specific types of data, e.g. processes. The users are notified of matching results using an event-based mechanism. In order to efficiently analyse a large amount of data, the embodiment uses a grid infrastructure that allows storage of the data across many grid nodes and distributes the query execution workload, avoiding the bottleneck represented by constantly querying a database. Continuous queries are stored in a Continuous Query Registry and that Registry is invoked every time an insert or update event occurs on the triple store. | 10-03-2013 |

20140243028 | ENHANCED TEXT MESSAGING SERVICE - Illustratively, and not by way of limitation, in one embodiment a software client supports basic rich communication suite (RCS) chat capabilities, wherein a user's chat/text message is sent to both an RCS chat server as well as a smart text services (STS) server. The STS server acquires tagged terms (e.g., “#movie-title”) and retrieves relevant information (e.g., showtimes, locations, reviews, ticket purchases, etc.). When a match is found (e.g., at the selection of the sender), the user interface integrates Smart Text results in a dedicated container (panel) to display the match and relevant actions to a receiver (e.g., and sender) of the message. | 08-28-2014 |

20150089956 | METHOD OF EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT FOR A GAS TURBINE SYSTEM AND EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT ASSEMBLY - The invention relates to a method for operating a gas turbine system, wherein the gas turbine system includes a compressor, a combustor, a heat recovery steam generator, a scrubber, a direct contact cooler. The method includes introducing the scrubbing fluid discharged from the scrubber into the direct contact cooler, contacting the scrubbing fluid in the direct contact cooler with the exhaust gas discharged from the heat recovery steam generator in order to remove a portion of nitrogen oxide therefrom; feeding the exhaust gas discharged from the direct contact cooler into the compressor. With the technical solution of the present invention, nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas is reduced to a certain extent by means of used scrubbing fluid from the scrubber. This solution may improve the efficiency in reduction of nitrogen oxide with a simple and feasible manner. | 04-02-2015 |

20110270595 | MODEL DRIVEN APPROACH FOR AVAILABILITY MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (AMF) CONFIGURATION GENERATION - A method and system for generating an Availability Management Framework (AMF) configuration based on a model driven approach. The AMF configuration is an instance of an AMF sub-profile that can be used to model resources and services to be protected, and is generated from an instance of the Entity Type Files (ETF) sub-profile and an instance of the Configuration Requirements (CR) sub-profile. The ETF sub-profile can be used to model the resources provided by vendors, and the CR sub-profile can be used to model configuration requirements. Each of the AMF sub-profile, the ETF sub-profile and the CR sub-profile is a specialization of pre-defined Unified Modeling Language (UML) meta-classes. An input that includes an ETF model and a CR model, which are instances of the ETF sub-profile and the CR sub-profile, respectively, is transformed into an AMF model as the AMF configuration. | 11-03-2011 |
