Patent number: 11982252Abstract: A fuel pump assembly comprises a plunger arranged to reciprocate within a plunger bore via a drive shaft, to perform a pumping cycle comprising a pumping stroke and a return stroke, the pumping stroke comprising movement of the plunger from a bottom dead centre (BDC) position to a top dead centre (TDC) position, and the return stroke comprising movement of the plunger from the TDC position to the BDC position. The fuel pump assembly comprises a spring assembly including a return spring that is cooperable, at a first end, with a first member coupled to the plunger and movable at a first speed dependent on the speed of rotation of the drive shaft and, at a second end, with a second member which is movable at a damped speed relative to the first speed.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: PHINIA Delphi Luxembourg SARLInventor: David Jones

Patent number: 11982230Abstract: A thermal management system for an aircraft comprises a first gas turbine engine, a first thermal bus, a first heat exchanger, and a chiller. The first thermal bus comprises a first heat transfer fluid, with the first heat transfer fluid being in fluid communication, in a closed loop flow sequence, between the first gas turbine engine, the first heat exchanger, and the chiller. Waste heat energy generated by the first gas turbine engine, is transferred to the first heat transfer fluid. The chiller is configured to lower a temperature of the first heat transfer fluid prior to the first heat transfer fluid being circulated through the gas turbine engine. The first heat exchanger is configured to transfer the waste heat energy from the first heat transfer fluid to a dissipation medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE plcInventors: Paul R Davies, David A Jones, Alexander T Joyce, Richard G Mochrie

Publication number: 20240150957Abstract: A metalized fabric and method for metallization of fabric. The fabric is formed using two threads with different affinities for metallization, but which threads are not metalized prior to forming into the fabric. The threads will typically be woven using an unbalanced weave to provide one side of the fabric with a resultant greater amount of metallization than the other but this is not required. Once the resultant fabric is metalized, it will typically be more suitable for consistent color dying than fabric which was formed from both metalized and unmetallized threads.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Bennett Fisher, Carl Jones, Jodi Wallis, Dino Aimino, Thomas Dougal, Greg Gianforcaro, David Curry

Publication number: 20240154989Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques, systems, and methods for remote, agent-less enterprise computer threat data collection, malicious threat analysis, and identification and reporting of potential and real threats present on an enterprise computer system. Specifically, embodiments are directed to a system that securely identifies and maps sensitive information from computers across the enterprise. Secure and sensitive information may be internally encrypted and analyzed for indicators of compromise, threatening behavior, and known vulnerabilities. The remote, agent-less collection, analysis, and identification process can be repeated periodically to detect and map additional sensitive information over time, and may delete itself after completion to avoid detection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Elgan David Jones, Thomas Langer, Winston Krone

Publication number: 20240149482Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are optimized for cutting sealing elements on packages using optical radiation. Packages can pass through a cutting device that applies the optical radiation to damage, vaporize, or cut the sealing element (e.g., tape) on the package. The systems and methods control several aspects of the cutting process to adjust throughput, improve efficiency, and reduce line stoppages. Systems can include an in-feed conveyor that orients packages and rejects packages that are out of specification, which can lead to issues such as jamming or damage to the equipment. Systems can include a variable-speed cut conveyor controlled by a computing system to dynamically adjust the speed of packages based upon historical cut quality, environmental measurement data, and height data related to a vertical dimension of the package.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Bryan Hawkins, Joseph David Blackner, John Marshall Jones, Santos Cerda, JR., Geoffrey Michael Miller
