Patent number: 8469065Abstract: A method of loading particulate matter into a transport container having at least one chamber with a peripheral region using an apparatus comprising a rotatable member configured to be positioned at least partially into an opening for the chamber. The method can include the acts of locating the apparatus adjacent the opening for the chamber by movement relative to the transport container, initiating a flow of particulate matter from the apparatus into the opening, rotating the rotatable member to facilitate the dispensing of particulate matter within the chamber, and engaging the rotatable member with particulate matter so that at least a portion of particulate matter that has been dispensed into the chamber is pushed into the peripheral region within the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: POET Research, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Schroeder, Joel Bordewyk, Donald Krueger, Michael Masgai, Steven Redford

Patent number: 7537725Abstract: A compositionally graded gas turbine disk is made by placing a cylindrically symmetric slip case concentrically into an interior of a cylindrically symmetric outer container. A first nickel-base superalloy powder is loaded into a radially inner first portion of the interior and a second nickel-base superalloy powder is loaded into a radially outer second portion of the interior. The slip case is removed so that the first nickel-base superalloy powder and the second nickel-base superalloy powder contact in the transition region and form a non-compacted powder mass. The non-compacted powder mass is processed into a gas turbine disk, typically by compacting the non-compacted powder mass to form a compacted powder mass, and thereafter heat treating the compacted powder mass.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jon Raymond Groh, Eric Allen Ott, Robert Edward Schafrik, Daniel Donald Krueger

Publication number: 20060028057Abstract: A locking mechanism is described that releasably locks at least two objects together. The locking mechanism allows one of the objects to be rotatably connected to the other, allowing for a variety of uses. The rotatability and releasability of the locking mechanism allows several locking mechanisms to be used together as an escape hatch system, particularly for use in race vehicles. The locking mechanism has uses beyond the escape hatch system and is applicable to doors, cover, and other objects that are rotatably attached to a second object.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2004Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventors: Daniel Kurtz, Donald Krueger

Patent number: 5711713Abstract: A modified theatrical counterweight apparatus (10) in a double or single purchase counterweight system (12) consists of an improved counterweight arbor carriage (50), for holding a plurality of improved counterweights (56). The improved counterweights (56) are stored on two elongate arbor bars (48), which when released will slide down into the improved counterweight arbor carriage (50). The improved counterweight arbor carriage (50) when obtaining the proper amount of the improved counterweights (56), will now slide down the elongate arbor bars (48) to raise a piece of scenery (34) with a batten (36) up from a stage (14), via lift lines (38) and an operating line (42).Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1996Date of Patent: January 27, 1998Inventor: Donald Krueger
