Patent number: 9720084Abstract: Various implementations directed to a depth display using sonar data are provided. In one implementation, a marine electronics device may include a sonar signal processor and a memory having a plurality of program instructions which, when executed by the sonar signal processor, cause the processor to receive sonar data from a transducer array disposed on a vessel, where the sonar data corresponds to a marine environment proximate to the vessel. The memory may also have program instructions which, when executed by the sonar signal processor, cause the processor to generate point cloud data based on the received sonar data. The memory may further have program instructions which, when executed by the sonar signal processor, cause the processor to generate a depth display based on the point cloud data, where the depth display includes a depth line representing an underwater floor of the marine environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Navico Holding ASInventors: Ronald Horner, Albert Griffin, Alan Proctor

Patent number: 9038488Abstract: Methods and devices for inline sampling of a bulk material, such as a powder, are provided. The material's bulk density can be determined from samples drawn using methods and devices described herein. One embodiment of a method of sampling a material allows the material to flow through a sampling compartment, closes off the flow of material below the sampling compartment, builds up a column of material through the sampling compartment, shifts the sampling compartment to remove a slice of material in the column, and places the slice of material into a sample container. A device for sampling a material is provided in another embodiment. The device includes an inlet, an outlet aligned with the inlet, and a sample collector. The sample collector can include at least one through hole and be configured to move such that the at least one through hole can be moved into and out of alignment with the inlet and the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: James E.

Patent number: 6625988Abstract: A premix burner arrangement with catalytic combustion provides a fuel/air mixture to a combustion chamber of a gas turbine arrangement. The premix burner arrangement includes a premix burner, at least one fuel addition unit, and air inlet openings arranged in such a way that at least one of gaseous and liquid fuel can be mixed with combustion inlet air inside the premix burner to form a fuel/air mixture. The fuel/air mixture exits from the premix burner downstream in the direction towards a combustion chamber positioned after the premix burner arrangement and can be ignited inside the combustion chamber. A catalyzer unit is provided before the entrance of the fuel/air mixture into the combustion chamber. Part of the fuel/air mixture can be introduced into and passed through the catalyzer unit before the catalyzed part of the fuel/air mixture flows together with the remaining portion of the fuel/air mixture into the combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Alstom (Switzerland) LtdInventors: Wolfgang Weisenstein, Timothy Albert Griffin, Peter Jansohn, Thomas Ruck

Patent number: 6510693Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing hot working gases for a gas turbine system. In a burner, combustion that generates hot combustion waste gas takes place. A portion of the combustion waste gas branches off and feeds into an oxygen separation device. A heat exchanger produces a heated oxygen-containing gas from oxygen-containing gas. The heated oxygen-containing gas feeds to the oxygen separation device. The oxygen separation device includes an oxygen separation means that removes oxygen from the heated oxygen-containing gas and feeds it to the branched-off waste gas. Oxygen-reduced hot gas then leaves the oxygen separation device. Oxygen-enriched branched-off waste gas as well as fuel feed to the burner and form a combustion mixture that bums in the burner while forming the hot combustion waste gases. In order to improve the efficiency of the device, the oxygen-enriched branched-off waste gas heats the oxygen-containing gas.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Alstom (Switzerland) LtdInventors: Dieter Winkler, Timothy Albert Griffin, Ulf Linder

Patent number: 6499300Abstract: A power plant and a method for operating a power plant with a CO2 process is shown. The power plant includes a compressor, a turbine, a generator, a recuperator, and a burner unit with an oxygen separation device and a burner. Oxygen-containing gas, CO2 medium from the CO2 process, and fuel are supplied to the burner unit. The oxygen separation device removes oxygen from the oxygen-containing gas and adds it to the CO2 medium. To improve the efficiency of the burner unit, the burner unit is provided with an additional burner. A portion of the oxygen-enriched CO2 medium as well as fuel is fed to the additional burner. Hot CO2 medium formed by the combustion in the additional burner is mixed with the heated CO2 medium at the input of the oxygen separation device.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2001Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Alstom (Switzerland) LtdInventors: Timothy Albert Griffin, Dieter Winkler
