Patent number: 11970946Abstract: A clearance control assembly for a gas turbine engine that defines an axial direction and a radial direction and includes a stage of rotor blades and a shroud hanger. The assembly includes a case configured to be positioned outward along the radial direction from the stage of rotor blades when installed in the gas turbine engine. The case is further configured to be engaged with the shroud hanger at a first location when installed in the gas turbine engine. The assembly also includes a baffle positioned outward along the radial direction from the case to define a chamber therebetween. The baffle has a forward end and an aft end. The forward end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a first seal and the aft end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a second seal. The baffle, the case, or both define an inlet to allow a fluid to enter the chamber and the case defines an outlet to allow the fluid to exit the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Travis J.

Publication number: 20120195574Abstract: In one embodiment, a movie set includes a motion-picture camera and a visible-talent tracking system having several elements. Based on the camera's characteristics, items in a portion of the movie set called the view frustum will appear in focus in the film. The camera and a camera-tracking system provide camera-location, orientation, and settings information to a culling processor. The culling processor delineates the location and dimensions of the view frustum based on the received camera information. Wireless tags are attached to talent on set. A tag-locating system tracks the real-time respective locations of the wireless tags and provides real-time spatial information regarding the tags to the culling processor, which determines which tags, if any, are considered to be within the view frustum, and provides information associated with the intra-frustum tags to a track recorder for recording along with the corresponding film frames. That information is variously used after editing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventor: Bruce Alan Wallace

Publication number: 20080309088Abstract: Motion of a first component in response to waves is converted to rotary motion of a member of a second component. The two components are magnetically coupled to each other. The relative linear motion of the components causes energy to be transmitted from waves between the two components via the magnetic coupling, and thus no mechanical connection is required for the transmission. This can allow for wave energy conversion without a need for hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Applications for technologies described herein include ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) for generating electricity from wave energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2006Publication date: December 18, 2008Inventors: Emmanuel Agamloh, Alan Wallace, Patricia May Wallace, Manfred Dittrich, Annette von Jouanne, Kenneth Rhinefrank

Patent number: 5083077Abstract: An onboard power generation system for use on board a vehicle, such as a passenger car, includes a brushless doubly-fed generator. The generator has a rotor with rotor conductors and a stator with stator windings, the stator windings comprising first and second polyphase stator systems. The generator rotor is mechanically coupled to and driven by the vehicle engine with a driving force to produce an AC power output from the first polyphase stator system. The generation system has a rectifier which receives and rectifies the generator first polyphase stator system AC power output into DC power for delivery to a DC bus of the generator power system. A sensor senses a parameter of the AC power output received by the rectifier and produces a sensor signal in response thereto. A converter receives the sensor signal, and in response thereto, converts power received from an excitation power source into excitation power for the generator second polyphase stator system.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Assignee: The State of Oregon Acting by and through the State Board of Higher Education on Behalf of Oregon State UniversityInventors: Alan Wallace, Rene Spee
