20110005229 | LEAN DIRECT INJECTION FOR PREMIXED PILOT APPLICATION - Embodiments of this invention provide a premixed pilot assembly for use with a fuel nozzle for a turbine. The level of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted by the pilot is reduced by mixing the fuel and air fast, at the end of the pilot nozzle, thereby avoiding significant zones of rich fuel and air mixtures. The air is mixed with the fuel through the use of openings in a first cylinder and a second cylinder, one of which carries air and one of which carries pilot fuel. The openings can be configured as necessary to obtain a desired effect on the pilot. | 01-13-2011 |
20110131998 | FUEL INJECTION IN SECONDARY FUEL NOZZLE - In a conventional secondary fuel nozzle for a gas turbine combustion system, secondary air enters and flows around pegs to mix with fuel injected through holes in pegs. Because the pegs are in the air flow area, undesirable pressure drops occur adversely affecting turbine's efficiency and leading to higher emissions. A novel secondary fuel nozzle is provided in which fuel is injected upstream of the secondary air entry location, which allows the pegs to be removed from the flow area. An example secondary fuel nozzle includes a nozzle body delivering fuel, a nozzle housing surrounding the nozzle body and defining air passages for the secondary air to enter and flow toward an end of the nozzle body, and a premix fuel unit positioned upstream of the air passages injecting fuel delivered by the nozzle body into the secondary air for premixing prior to combustion. | 06-09-2011 |
20110246277 | MULTI-FACTOR PROMOTIONAL OFFER SUGGESTION - The invention relates to a method to send a promotional offer from a business entity. The method steps include obtaining a profile of the business entity from a financial management application (FMA) executing on a central processing unit (CPU) and configured to manage operations of the business entity, analyzing a plurality of messages from a message source based on a pre-determined criterion to identify a keyword, qualifying the keyword to generate a qualified keyword with a keyword rating, wherein the keyword rating represents how relevant the keyword is to the business entity based on the profile of the business entity, searching for the qualified keyword in the promotional offer among a plurality of promotional offers in a library to generate a match between the qualified keyword and the promotional offer, adjusting a score of the promotional offer, in response to generating the match, based on the keyword rating, and sending the promotional offer to a consumer based on the score. | 10-06-2011 |
20110294479 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSIGNING A SENDERID - A method for sending Short Message Service (SMS) messages includes receiving a request to generate a senderID, determining senderIDs based on a business name, and receiving a selected senderID from the senderIDs. The method further includes receiving a request to send an SMS message using the selected senderID, and sending a request to an SMS server to send the SMS message using the senderID. | 12-01-2011 |
20120253880 | SIMULATING DEPENDENCY OF TOKEN ARRIVAL ON PROCESS PERFORMANCE - A process analysis tool simulates the dependency of token arrival on performance of a business process. For example, the process analysis tool includes a token generator and a feedback module. The token generator schedules arrival of tokens to a business process simulator and, using feedback that depends on state of a process model, adjusts a parameter that characterizes the arrival of tokens. In particular, the adjustment can simulate the adverse effects of customer perception of processing cycle time and/or queue length on the arrival of tokens. The feedback module generates the feedback for the token generator. In this way, the process analysis tool simulates how the arrival of tokens depends on performance of the process model. A business analyst, other user or automated testing tool can use the process analysis tool to gain a better understanding of resource requirements or lost opportunities for a business process. | 10-04-2012 |
20140289002 | METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AND PROVIDING NOTIFICATION ABOUT WEB CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN ORGANIZATION AND DEVICES THEREOF - A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus that identifies and provides notification about web content associated with an organization includes identifying one or more sets of web content which contains one or more organization keywords. At least a portion of each of the identified one or more sets of web content is extracted. One or more business units within each of one or more organizations and one or more business words for each of the one or more business units are obtained. One or more of the business words are associated with one or more of the extracted portions of the one or more sets of web content. Each of the extracted portions of the one or more sets of web content are provided to a designated recipient computing device based on the association of the one or more business words with the one or more of the extracted portions of the one or more sets of web content. | 09-25-2014 |
20140298282 | DESIGN STRUCTURE FOR STACKED CMOS CIRCUITS - An automated method of modifying a semiconductor chip design includes creating a timing analysis of said semiconductor chip design, identifying a pluraility of gates in said semiconductor chip design which have either too fast a rising edge or falling edge, for each gate in said plurality of gates adding a stacked transistor to provide delay to the rising or falling edge of the gate. A design structure tangibly embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure includes a CMOS device having a first transistor with a first input, a pair of stacked transistors having a second input, and an output. | 10-02-2014 |
20150081731 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING PROCESS ELEMENT VARIANTS IN BUSINESS PROCESSES - The technique relates to a system and method for selecting process element variants in business processes. The technique involves receiving a process element execution request from at least one user. Then, determining a plurality of enterprise dimensions associated with the process element execution request. Thereafter, searching the process element variant corresponding to the plurality of enterprise dimensions in a declarative way based on a predefined dimensional hierarchy. Finally, selecting the process element variant for execution to accomplish the user request. This technique employs a declarative approach which eliminates the need define the variants for all possible combination of enterprise dimensions namely process, events, locations, organizations and data. | 03-19-2015 |
