20090271039 | Method and apparatus for flue gas recirculation - An improved method and system for flue gas recirculation (FGR) from the ID Fan located downstream of a scrubber (or other Air Quality Control Equipment including cyclones, baghouses, etc., hereafter “AQC equipment”) back to the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment) inlet to maintain the minimum required flue gas throughput during low-load conditions, thereby eliminating the need for a separate booster fan. A flue gas recirculation duct is connected from downstream of the ID Fan to the inlet of the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment). A variable flow restrictor is placed in the duct downstream of the ID Fan for controlling pressure of the recirculated flue gas. The flow restrictor is controlled in accordance to a function of boiler load or flue gas flow to produce the required backpressure that enables the flue gas to flow through the recirculation duct back to the inlet of the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment) at low loads. This side stream of treated gas is recirculated from the discharge of the ID Fan to the inlet of the AQC Equipment to maintain the appropriate gas velocity regardless of boiler load conditions. The pressure differential between fan discharge and the AQC Equipment inlet enables recirculation of a sufficient amount of treated flue gas using only a small duct and simple flow control damper, without using a booster fan. | 10-29-2009 |

20080230595 | Automated audio, video, and data extraction - A system and method for loading, processing and classifying media used in an automated system is disclosed. A robotic arm, or similar device, is used to pick a piece of media from a set of unprocessed discs in a first location and place that medium into a suitable media reader, such as a CDROM reader or DVD reader. A computing system, in communication with the media reader, determines whether the media was properly processed. If so, it is placed in a second location. If it is not properly processed, the robotic arm places the media in a third location, where it can be manually inspected and analyzed at a later time. In another embodiment, the computing system discriminates between various reasons for the inability to process the media and places the offending media in a location designated specifically for that failure type. At a convenient time, manual inspection and intervention can be used to correct the failed media. The system can also be used to sort media based on other criteria, such as media type, defect rate, or type of content. In all cases, the computing system also optionally generates an import log that tracks all discrepancies. | 09-25-2008 |
20080232219 | High throughput system for legacy media conversion - A system and method for creating digital content from a plurality of legacy media formats, such as paper, CD, VHS, DVD, etc. A coordination node is utilized to balance the computation load between the various processing units, particularly those involved in the second stage of operation. Extraction units are used to input various types of information into the system as digital media. Once the information has been extracted, the coordination node and its associated software determine the load on each processing unit in the second stage and based on this and other factors, determine which processing unit will perform the conversion. The output is then stored in storage devices. This approach maximizes system utilization, while being more cost efficient than traditional extraction systems. | 09-25-2008 |
20080235217 | System and method for creating, verifying and integrating metadata for audio/video files - The present invention discloses a system and method for insuring the integrity and format of metadata. In the preferred embodiment, a local database is created into which metadata information can be stored. Since the database is maintained locally, it can be guaranteed to have correct and complete metadata information. Metadata searches are preferably performed hierarchically, such that the local database is checked first for the required data. If the data is not resident in the local database, the traditional search of third-party databases is performed. Information retrieved from third-party databases is then verified, such as manually. Once the metadata has been checked and approved, the metadata is then stored locally. A set of rules is also created, which define the requirements and the file manipulations that must be preformed on the metadata for each type of target device. | 09-25-2008 |
20080235524 | System for peripheral re-enumeration - The present invention reduces the need for peripherals to be physically removed and re-installed when a malfunction occurs. In one embodiment, a device is placed in series between the system and the peripheral. This device controls the passage of power to the peripheral. When the peripheral malfunctions, the device disallows passage of power to the peripheral, and at some later point restores power, effectively emulating a physical removal and re-installation. In a second embodiment, additional software is added to the software driver for the peripheral. In this scenario, the additional software, upon detecting that the peripheral is incommunicative, would remove power being supplied to the peripheral by the system. Again, at some later point, power is restored, thereby emulating a disconnect/reconnect sequence. | 09-25-2008 |
