20120298568 | BARREL-TYPE FISH/PARTICLE SCREEN WITH ADJUSTABLE FLOW DISTRIBUTION AND DEBRIS REMOVAL - Debris adhering to the outer surface of a barrel-type fish screen is cleared by air bursts from a series of perforated air pipes positioned inside the outer foraminous shell of the screen, the perforations being holes with axes at an acute angle to the screen radius for efficient use of the air. Separately, the conical water collection manifold mounted inside the shell is open at its narrow end, with a valve mounted to that open end to control the opening. The opening prevents reduced water inflow at that end of the manifold, and the valve adjusts the access of the surrounding water to the opening, thereby allowing the manifold to be tuned to more closely approach a uniform distribution of axial water flow along the length of the collection manifold for different ambient conditions. Webs joining the air pipes to the collection manifold are also included in certain embodiments of the invention to support increased lengths of the entire apparatus without loss of structural integrity, including support for the foraminous shell. | 11-29-2012 |

20100097118 | Activating an Information Handling System Battery From a Ship Mode - In some embodiments, a method for activating an information handling system battery without using AC power is provided. One or more switches associated with a battery are maintained in a ship mode state during shipping of the information handling system such that the battery remains disconnected from particular information handling system components during shipping. In response to a user input, a power-on device generates and communicates a power-on signal to a battery management unit (BMU) of the battery. In response to receiving the power-on signal, the BMU activates the one or more switches from the ship mode state, which connects the battery to the particular information handling system components. The power-on device generates and communicates the power-on signal to the BMU, and the BMU activates the one or more switches from the ship mode state, while the information handling system is not connected to any AC power source. | 04-22-2010 |

20130088720 | OPTICAL GYROSCOPE - A microfabricated optical gyroscope that utilizes a linear array of micron scale optical ring resonators closely spaced to allow evanescent coupling of electromagnetic fields in adjacent resonators. Within each resonator, the optical Sagnac effect produces a phase difference between clockwise and counterclockwise propagating light that is proportional to the inertial rotation rate perpendicular to the plane of the resonator. The disclosure enhances the overall sensitivity to rotations by varying the strengths of the evanescent coupling between resonators and/or the circumferences of the resonators. The size and coupling strengths control the optical interference between resonators. By using periodically alternating coupling strengths and/or linearly chirped resonator circumferences, the gyroscope transmission has extremely narrow transmission resonances with slopes, corresponding to the responsivity to inertial rotations, that are large enough to yield shot noise limited sensitivities sufficient for inertial navigation in a device size less the 1 mm | 04-11-2013 |

20130260343 | PNEUMATICALLY SUPPORTED SPATIAL ATTITUDE SIMULATOR - A flight simulator rests on a plurality of air cushions as a hovercraft and assumes spatial attitudes depending upon the relative heights of the air cushions. Flight controls determine the volume of air supplied to each air cushion and thereby control the pitch and roll attitudes of the flight simulator. The simulator may be connected to an external support frame and may thereby be subjected to longitudinal, lateral, and rotational movements. | 10-03-2013 |
