Appl. No.:

10/736870

Inventors:

Thomas John Freeman - Marietta GA, US

International Classification:

B65D 6/12
B65D 81/38

US Classification:

220 8, 22059216, 220 431

Abstract:

An insulated drinking utensil that extends to contain more liquid and enhance logo/decorative display including an outer casing, inner casing(s), a lid if desired, a handle if desired, and sealing gasket if desired. The extendable drinking container transforms from a normal drinking utensil into a larger drinking utensil capable of holding more and displaying more. This container allows individuals the convenience of turning their everyday mug into a larger container or pitcher. This container allows individuals to show off their favorite team in a new and revolutionary way. This container allows retailers to offer something completely unique to their customers while also conserving precious shelf space normally used for containers with similar storage capacity. This container also allows the end user the luxury of storing a container with a large holding capacity into a small storage area.

International Classification:

F02C 9/00

US Classification:

60773, 60 3924

Abstract:

A gas turbine system includes a compressor protection subsystem; a hibernation mode subsystem; and a control subsystem that controls the compressor subsystem and the hibernation subsystem. At partial loads on the turbine system, the compressor protection subsystem maintains an air flow through a compressor at an airflow coefficient for the partial load above a minimum flow rate coefficient where aeromechanical stresses occur in the compressor. The air fuel ratio in a combustor is maintained where exhaust gas emission components from the turbine are maintained below a predetermined component emission level while operating at partial loads.

International Classification:

B63B 100

US Classification:

441 66

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for effectively steering/controlling a towable inflatable watercraft utilizing a pulley steer steering system. The present invention allows a person/persons the convenience of being able to effectively control the direction of an inflatable watercraft. Any inflatable watercraft which utilizes the pulley steer steering system will be able to travel back and forth across the wake of a towing watercraft in a manner comparable to that of a jet ski. The advantage of this invention being that those who can't afford a jet ski or who are no longer permitted to operate a jet ski (due to recent legal restrictions) can experience the same thrill of travelling/jumping across a wake as a jet ski provides. This effect can not be provided in existing inflatables without damage being inflicted on the craft. This invention incorporates the use of the pulley steer steering system, whereby; a rope is safely housed within a hose which protects the watercraft from damage from the rope.

Abstract:

A power generation system includes a processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to receive a first set of sensor data indicative of one or more ambient conditions with respect to the power generation system, determine whether one of the one or more ambient conditions is above a respective threshold, and send a signal to a valve to open when the one of the one or more ambient conditions is below the respective threshold, such that the valve is configured to fluidly couple a first fluid exiting a compressor to an inlet of the compressor.

Abstract:

A power generation system includes one or more processors and memory storing instructions that cause the one or more processor to execute a series of steps. That is, the one or more processors receive data indicative of a plurality of inputs associated with the power generation system, such that the plurality of inputs include a flow rate of a valve coupled between an inlet of a compressor in the power generation system and an exhaust of the compressor, where the valve fluidly couples a first fluid exiting the exhaust of the compressor to the inlet of the compressor. Furthermore, the one or more processors determine one or more output parameters of the power generation system based on the plurality of inputs, determine whether the one or more output parameters are within one or more respective threshold values, determine one or more fuel schedule adjustments for the power generation system when the one or more output parameters are outside the one or more respective threshold values; and modify a fuel schedule for providing fuel to a combustor of the power generation system based on the one or more fuel schedule adjustments.
