20140158665 | SEALED SOLENOID MAGNETICALLY OPERATED HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC POWER SWITCH - A sealed solenoid, magnetically operated electric power switch is suitable for use as capacitor, line and load switch operating at transmission and distribution voltages that includes no seals through the sealed container housing the contactor portion of the switch. The sealed solenoid switch includes a magnetically operated drive system with an actuator that magnetically couples across the container wall to avoid the use of a moving or sliding seal as part of the drive system. The sealed solenoid switch may also include a ballast resistor and resistor contact located inside the sealed container to avoid another seal as part of the ballast system. A magnetic latch holds the switch in a closed position, and a spring holds the switch in the closed position, to avoid the need for an energizing current to maintain the switch in either position. | 06-12-2014 |

20120142224 | M.C. Cord adapter - A consumer assembled electric power cord adapter which has an squared insulator body defining a enclosure and a identical pair of alloyed metal electric conductors which fit securely attached on the inside of the enclosure. A low flow of positive and negative electric current is directed to the identical alloyed conductors when the consumer strips the wire of a barbers' clipper cord and self assembles those wires through the designer orifice of the identical alloyed conductors then securely attach them within the inside of the enclosures. An electric path is formed immediately after the enclosures are properly sealed with two screws and bolts, and a standard adapter wire is attached onto the protruding alloyed conductors and a energized wall receptacle. | 06-07-2012 |

20080219394 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING AN ADJUSTED PEAK NODAL POWER IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR - Systems and methods for a nuclear reactor that include developing a first peaking factor at a first burnup threshold for one or more fuel rods. A second peaking factor is developed at a second burnup threshold for the fuel rods. The second burnup threshold is greater than the first burnup threshold. A third peaking factor is developed and is associated with a peak average power threshold for the fuel rods. An adjusted peak nodal power is generated for the fuel rods as a function of a base peak nodal power, the first peaking factor, the second peaking factor, and the third peaking factor. | 09-11-2008 |

20090314196 | Anchor With Snag Release Mechanism - An anchor incorporates a release mechanism that is releasably assembled to a shank. An anchor chain is affixed to a crown section of the anchor. The chain is slideably inserted through a tubular release mechanism body. A tension controlling mechanism is elastically coupled between the release mechanism and the anchor chain. A pair of release interface notches is formed within the proximal end of the release mechanism; the slots are placed on opposing sides of the release mechanism. A pair of release interface fasteners is disposed along a distal end of the shank. The release mechanism is held in a mooring configuration by engaging the release interface notches and the release interface fasteners. The release mechanism maintains the chain in a mooring configuration until the release mechanism is rotated perpendicular to the shank, wherein the release interface notches disengage from the release interface fasteners changing a tensile force from an anchor engaging direction to a releasing direction. | 12-24-2009 |

20160125144 | DUPLICATION DETECTION IN CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION TO UPDATE A CLINICIAN - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided to detect incremental changes in clinical documents associated with a patient. A user selection is received indicating that a user wants to compare two or more clinical documents that are associated with the patient or authored by the same clinician, enabling the user to become up-to-date on the patient's care. A first clinical document and a second clinical document are identified. For the first clinical document and the second clinical document, differences are algorithmically determined. The first clinical document is transformed into a new representation of the first clinical document. Further, the second clinical document is transformed into a new representation of the second clinical document. One or more of the new representations of the first and the second clinical documents are displayed, assisting the user to quickly find and understand the differences between the documents. | 05-05-2016 |

20100204961 | INTEGRATED SYSTEM DESIGN - A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to integrate multiple engineering design systems in a computer aided design (CAD) system. A design generator is displayed and used to create an engineering design that has different worksheets. Each worksheet represents a different aspect of the design, has local design objects that represent functional aspects of a component that are independent from the component's physical representation, and relation objects that models constraints for properties of the design objects. The objects are organized into a functional layout document (FLD) that is stored in a data center/database that is shared by the worksheets. The FLD is then used to design an engineering design/model. | 08-12-2010 |
