Filed:

Feb 5, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/026467

Inventors:

Raymond P. O'Leary - Evanston IL, US
Christopher McCarthy - Oak Creek WI, US

Assignee:

S&C Electric Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H02H 5/04

US Classification:

361104

Abstract:

Fault protection is provided with fuse saving in a power distribution system. An operating characteristic of a fault protection device protecting a portion of the power distribution system is configured in view of fuse melting characteristics. In this manner, fault protection is provided with fuse saving, when possible, with reduced service disruptions.

Filed:

Jun 18, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/141425

Inventors:

Christopher McCarthy - Glenview IL, US
Raymond P. O'Leary - Evanston IL, US

Assignee:

S & C ELECTRIC CO. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H02H 9/00

US Classification:

361 42

Abstract:

A reclosing fault protection device detects a partial bypass state. Upon detecting the partial bypass state, the fault protection device implements a ground trip delay operating state. The ground trip delay operating state provides a delayed ground trip response characteristic.

Appl. No.:

9/048397

Inventors:

Arunabha Basu - Naperville IL
Theodore H. Fleisch - Houston TX
Christopher I. McCarthy - Naperville IL
Svend-Erik Mikkelsen - Gentofte, DK
Carl A. Udovich - Joliet IL

Assignee:

Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C10L 102
C10L 110

US Classification:

44446

Abstract:

The invention relates to high energy, oxygenated fuel compositions suitable for use in compression ignition internal combustion engines which fuel compositions contain a synergistic combination of dimethyl ether, methanol, and water, the combination providing a single liquid phase with good ignition characteristics. More particularly fuels comprising from about 72 to about 95 weight percent of dimethyl ether, from about 0. 1 to about 20 weight percent of methanol, and from about 0. 1 to about 20 weight percent of water are disclosed.

Appl. No.:

8/528119

Inventors:

Arunabha Basu - Naperville IL
Theo H. Fleisch - Houston TX
Christopher I. McCarthy - Naperville IL
Carl A. Udovich - Joilet IL

Assignee:

Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C10L 300
C10L 118

US Classification:

44448

Abstract:

A method is described for operating a spark ignition internal combustion engine utilizing an improved composition containing dimethyl ether and propane as fuel. An engine incorporating the invention produces a lesser amount of certain atmospheric pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, as compared to the amount of pollutants produced when the engine is operated at identical conditions with propane as fuel. Also described is an improved fuel composition which exhibits a lower vapor pressure than, for example, propane and, therefore, is relatively easier to liquefy and transport.
