Filed:

Oct 10, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/974169

Inventors:

Mark E. Peters - San Francisco CA, US
Yinyu Ye - Menlo Park CA, US

Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/10

US Classification:

705 37, 705 35, 705 36 R

Abstract:

A convex parimutuel call auction implemented at a central market organizer computer includes receiving orders from market participants, calculating a quantity of accepted bids for each of the orders, and communicating to the participants the calculated quantity of accepted bids for each of the orders. Each order includes a specification by a participant of contingent claims on outcomes of a future event, a limit bid price, and a limit bid quantity. The calculation involves maximizing an objective function given by an approximate profit to the market organizer plus a weighted logarithmic penalty function. Because the formulation is convex, the solution may be computed in polynomial time using standard techniques, such as a path-following algorithm.

Robert M. Canny - Saddle Brook NJ, US

International Classification:

H01L 35/32
H01L 35/08
H01L 35/34
G01K 7/02

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a high-temperature thermocouple with a thermocouple wire including two dissimilar wires twisted together and covered with a polyimide-based leak-proof insulation coating. The thermocouple wire may include a welded hot junction attaching the two dissimilar wires together on one end and may be connected to a thermocouple connector located at an opposite end. A method for making the high-temperature thermocouple may include coating a pair of dissimilar wires with a leak-proof polyimide-based insulation coating by dipping of dissimilar wires in a liquid polyimide-based solution and curing the dissimilar wires with heat. The method may also include twisting the dissimilar wires around themselves, welding together the dissimilar wires to each other creating a welded hot junction, and attaching the opposite end of the dissimilar wires to a thermocouple connector. The leak-proof insulation coating and thermocouple connector may be rated for 800 degrees F. and 150 PSI.

Abstract:

A sensing system that will accurately monitor cold and hot spots and verify the appropriate area temperature for composite structure repair and where IR LED is being activated. Various embodiments of this invention may include: miniaturized thermocouples that can be embedded into the sensing system, distributed temperature sensing (DTS) system and software for heat modeling, and/or printed thermocouple circuits on thermo pads. The sensing system may be a grid of sensors that is either a standalone layer, such as a sheet or blanket, or integrated with any of the layers already common in composite repair, i.e. printed circuitry or over-molded circuitry. Additionally, the sensing system generates the temperature profile of a heated area during a fuselage repair and pin-points and identifies hot and cold problem areas on a complex fuselage section.

Abstract:

A gas blocking cable includes cabled wires, where each wire includes cabled conductors having interstitial areas there between. An insulation material circumferentially surrounds the cabled conductors and a conductor filling material is positioned within the interstitial areas between conductors. A first shield circumferentially surrounds the twisted wires and a high-temperature filler, thereby separating a drain wire. A second shield circumferentially surrounds the cabled wires and the drain wire so that a cable is formed with areas between the first shield and the second shield. A wire filling material is positioned within the areas between the wires and the shields. Each of the conductor filling material and wire filling material is inert, non-flammable and able to withstand a temperature of at least approximately 200 C.
