An ecology valve (EV) fuel return system is provided. In one embodiment, the EV fuel return system includes a housing assembly having a fuel return outlet and a first manifold inlet. The fuel return outlet is fluidly coupled to a fuel supply system, and the first manifold inlet is fluidly coupled to a first manifold of a gas turbine engine (GTE). An ecology valve is disposed in the housing assembly and fluidly coupled to the fuel return outlet and to the first manifold inlet. A fuel routing assembly is fluidly coupled between the first manifold inlet, the fuel return outlet, and the ecology valve. The fuel routing assembly routes fuel: (i) from the first manifold inlet to the ecology valve when the GTE is in a shut-down mode, and (ii) from the ecology valve to the fuel return outlet when the GTE is in an engine start mode.

Methods and systems are provided for facilitating the transfer of information relating to risk management, such as, for example information directed towards compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act and certification of a foreign correspondent bank. Generally, the a foreign bank or other entity can provide a risk management clearinghouse with information relating to compliance with government requirements, or other information, and allow the risk management clearinghouse to convey to information in whole or in part to interested parties. Centralized distribution of certification related information can facilitate consistent and accurate compliance with government related requirements.

A flow equalizing override assembly is provided for use in conjunction with a gas turbine engine (GTE) and a fuel divider system. In one embodiment, the flow equalizing override assembly includes a housing assembly, a fuel divider (FD) valve, a remotely-actuatable valve, and a controller. The FD valve includes: (i) a piston slidably disposed within the housing assembly and movable between a default position and a flow equalizing position, and (ii) a control chamber defined by the piston and the housing assembly. The remotely-actuatable valve is fluidly coupled to the control chamber and is configured to selectively adjust the fuel pressure therein. The controller is configured to command the remotely-actuatable valve to adjust the pressure within the control chamber such that the piston moves from the default position to the flow equalizing position after ignition of the GTE.
摘要:
The present invention provides an auction system that allows bond issue sales to be offered in an open and transparent manner, wherein, a certain percentage (up to 100%) of bonds in a bond issue can be offered to qualified bidders at a “buy now” pre-auction price, set by an issuer and/or lead manager. Investors can be allowed to “bid some bonds out of the auction process” and thus guarantee their allocation and also allow bidders to participate in an open auction for other bonds. Bonds to be offered in a bond issue can include a subset of pre-auction price bonds and a subset of auction price bonds. The pre-auction price bonds are offered to pre-auction bidders at a pre-auction price, and auction bonds are generally sold to the highest bidder. Pre-auction sales can serve as a catalyst for generating enthusiasm for an associated bond issue auction.

The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides having homology to the PRO533 protein and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention, and methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention. The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis and/or autocrine signaling. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act of predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. Furthermore, the compounds, compositions including antagonists and methods of the present invention are further expected to have therapeutic effect upon conditions characterized by FgF-19 modulation.
摘要:
A building element connection and spacing device including a strip member (420) of substantially inextensible material, a connector (424) located at at least one longitudinal position on said member for providing a connection between orthogonal building elements (431, 450), and at least one index (439) at a longitudinal position on said member corresponding to an element spacing distance. In one form, a plurality of the devices are adapted to be laid end-to-end to provide a series of building element connections at fixed intervals, such as those between a wall frame top member (431) and a series of roof trusses, a bearer member (435) and floor joists (434) or between a wall frame bottom member (433) and uprights (432).

In a local positioning system, augmentation of the land-based system is provided by receiving signals from a GNSS. The signals from the land-based positioning system have a code phase accuracy better than one wavelength of a carrier of the signals from the GNSS. Different decorrelation may be used for signals from a satellite than from a land-based transmitter, such as using a digital decorrelator for signals from the satellite and an analog decorrelator for signals from a land-based transmitter. The receivers may include both a GNSS antenna and a local antenna. The phase centers of the two antennas are within one wavelength of the GNSS signals from each other. The local antenna is sized for operation in the X or ISM-bands of frequencies. The GNSS antenna is a patch antenna where the microwave antenna extends away from the patch antenna in at least one dimension.

Some embodiments include a system, method, apparatus and means for identifying and extracting information include generating a list of information sources, each selected as having information potentially relevant to a topic, the list of information sources including sources of at least a first type and sources of a second type, retrieving first information from an information source of the at least first type and determining that the first information is relevant to the topic, monitoring the information source of the at least first type to identify a change in the first information, and retrieving updated information from the information source of the at least first type upon identifying the change.
摘要:
A method and system for delivering a subpoena via an electronic subpoena service. The electronic delivery can constitute legal service of the subpoena or be accompanied by hardcopy service. Utilization of a system to serve subpoenas can provide timely and efficient service with an automated audit trail. The system can enable broad service with confirmed identification of relevant parties to be served. An automated search of electronic records provides uniform search criteria for compliance, even with multiple locations and subsidiaries, including foreign subsidiaries. Ongoing searching via real time monitoring of accounts, credit, entities, wire transfer and other activities also provides a level of detail and uniformity heretofore unavailable.
摘要:
Methods and receivers determine a range from radio frequency ranging signals at multiple frequencies. The number of dedicated RF sections and correlation processing power is reduced by multiplexing signals from a sub-set of frequencies onto a common path. The common path provides shared processing, such as down-conversion shared by signals at two different frequencies. The correlation processing power for a three frequency receiver may be the same or similar as for a two frequency receiver since signals for two frequencies share processing as a function of time. Correlation is performed intermittently for signals at two of the frequencies.
