U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in Alabama (May 23)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 23 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in Alabama. *** Siemens Product Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 23 -- Siemens Product, Plano, Texas, has been assigned a patent (8,447,576) developed by Daniel C. Staples, Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and Ravikanth Vootukuri, Madison, Ala., for a "system and method for producing editable three-dimensional models." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and related CAD system and computer readable medium for creating a dimensioned object model in a CAD system, including automatically associating editable dimensions with an object model in the CAD system. The method includes receiving 2D CAD data, the 2D CAD data including dimension information, and creating a 3D model corresponding to the 2D CAD data. The method also includes associating the dimension information with features of the 3D model and storing the 3D model and associated dimension information in the CAD system. The dimension information can thereafter be edited to automatically produce corresponding changes in the 3D model. Other methods are also described." The patent application was filed on Oct. 23, 2009 (12/604,530).

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Systems and methods are described herein for managing the operations of a plurality of microgrid modules. A microgrid module includes transformers and/or power converters necessary for modifying the input AC or DC power sources to meet the required characteristics of the output power. The microgrid module further comprises a control software module and a power router software module. The control software module receives data from sensors in the microgrid module and controls the flow of power with controllable elements. The power router software module controls the operation of the power router. The power router can detect changes in demand for power within the microgrid module or from other microgrid modules. The power router can adjust the flow of power between the microgrid modules in response to changes in the supply of power to the microgrid module and changes in the demand for power from the microgrid module." The patent application was filed on April 15, 2010 (12/760,631).
