20130015638 | INDIVIDUAL SNOWBOARDS FOR EACH FOOT - An improved individual snowboard for each foot is described having several improvements over the prior art relating to safety, stability, and performance. Each snowboard comprises a curved up nose and tail, a base, and a common sidewall surrounding the perimeter of the board. A resilient tapered core is disposed between the base, but not through the nose and tail, to provide additional flex when needed. The width of the nose is larger than the width of the tail for maneuverability and changing stances. The user will stand on both boards perpendicular to the sidewalls, with each nose pointing outward and each tail pointing inward. Angled sidecuts assist in stopping and turning, while a raised camber provides a smoother ride while adding more edge for better stopping, turning, and control. | 01-17-2013 |

Additionally, the method may include operating the electric motor/generator if the engine power requirement of the load is not sufficiently large to operate the engine in the low emissions mode. | 09-30-2010 |
20130239577 | HYBRID GAS TURBINE ENGINE-ELECTRIC MOTOR/GENERATOR DRIVE SYSTEM - A method of operating a drive system for a load is disclosed. The drive system may have an electric motor/generator and a gas turbine engine. The engine may have a combustor, and main and pilot flow paths via which fuel is supplied to the combustor. The engine may be operable in low and standard emissions modes. A proportion of the fuel that is supplied to the combustor via the pilot flow path may be greater in the standard emissions mode than in the low emissions mode. The method may include determining an engine power requirement of the load, and whether the engine power requirement of the load is sufficiently large to operate the engine in the low emissions mode. Additionally, the method may include operating the electric motor/generator if the engine power requirement of the load is not sufficiently large to operate the engine in the low emissions mode. | 09-19-2013 |
20140294559 | MULTIPLE MODE GAS TURBINE ENGINE GAS FUEL SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED CONTROL - A method for operating a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The method includes determining whether the gas turbine engine fuel system is in a steady state mode or a transient mode. The method also includes modifying the gas turbine engine power output by modifying a pressure set point of the fuel system while maintaining a fuel control valve in a steady state when in the steady state mode. The method further includes modifying the gas turbine engine output by modifying the position of the fuel control valve while maintaining the pressure set point of the fuel system constant when in the transient mode. | 10-02-2014 |

20150257557 | MODULAR, KNOCK-DOWN DRINKING VESSEL - A modular drinking vessel having a bottom-most base module, a removable intermediate module, and a removably attachable cap module including a mouthpiece and a tethered cap. At least one of the modules has at least one extensible and collapsible handle anchored at both ends to a slide track on the module. Two such handles may be provided on opposed sides of the modular drinking vessel. Alternatively, the drinking vessel may comprise a monolithic cup with at least one such handle, in the absence of intermediate and cap modules. | 09-17-2015 |
