  • Patent number: 9909499
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward a system and method to drain a fuel manifold wherein a fuel drainage and purge system includes a fuel manifold and a drainage line extending from the fuel manifold. The drainage line is configured to flow a liquid-gas mixture from the fuel manifold. The fuel drainage and purge system also includes a drain valve disposed along the drainage line, a vent line extending from the drainage line upstream of the drain valve, a vent valve disposed along the vent line, and a drainage trap arranged along the drainage line downstream of the drain valve. The drainage trap is configured to separate the liquid-gas mixture into a liquid stream and a gaseous stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5925405
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing ceramic, metallic shaped bodies or layers a castable moldable material mass consisting of sugar and/or urea-containing compounds as well as metal components is produced and from that material mass a shaped body is formed or the material mass is applied to a material structure and the shaped body or material structure is then heated and sintered. The sugar material mass includes for example sugar syrup, sugar or beets, cane sugar, fruits, honey, alcohol-sugar solutions and beer.

  • Patent number: 4494965
    Abstract: An apparatus utilized for separating hydrogen isotopes from a gas mixture separate isotopes contained in a hydrogen isotope mixture. The apparatus is provided with two chambers closable by valves and surrounded on all sides by walls and separated from each other by a wall or partition of material differing from palladium though permeable preferably for atomic hydrogen and permeable only to a lesser extent for molecular hydrogen. One of the chambers is connected with a gas supply line as well as a gas discharge line, and the other chamber, provided for collecting isotope mixture coming through the permeable wall, is capable of being evacuated. The remaining walls of the chambers consist of material which is not or is only poorly permeable for hydrogen isotopes.
