Patent number: 11968770Abstract: A novel plasma generation and containment system includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a power source, and an electromagnet. The first electrode and the second electrode are electrically coupled via a wire to form an open circuit. The voltage is asserted on the open circuit to form a spark between the first electrode and the second electrode to form a closed circuit. Then, a current is asserted on the closed circuit to form a plasma between the first electrode and the second electrode. The electromagnet provides a magnetic field to contain and compress the plasma.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Plassein Technologies Ltd. LLCInventor: Jack A. Hunt

Patent number: 10323770Abstract: A control member for use in a fluid control device is disclosed. The control member may include a through-bore for receiving a valve stem and one or more counter-bores aligned with the through-bore. One of the counter-bores may receive a connection member, such as a retaining nut, for connecting the control member to the valve stem. Accordingly, the connection member may be concealed within the control member and thus prevented from interfering with the fluid flow around the control member. Also disclosed is a fluid control device incorporating the control member and a method of assembling a fluid control device incorporating the control member.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: EMERSON PROCESS MANAGEMENT REGULATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Christopher Joseph Jack Hunt

Publication number: 20170102721Abstract: A control member for a fluid regulating device. The control member includes a top side and a bottom side. The top side is adapted to engage a valve seat of the fluid regulating device when the control member is arranged in a closed position. The control member also includes a means for reducing a suction force exerted on the bottom side of the control member by fluid flowing proximate to the control member. In one example, the means takes the form of a rim that extends outwardly from the bottom side to a position below the bottom side. The rim is configured to reduce a downward force exerted on the bottom side of the control member by directing fluid flowing through the fluid passageway away from the bottom side of the control member.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2016Publication date: April 13, 2017Applicant: EMERSON PROCESS MANAGEMENT REGULATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Christopher Joseph Jack Hunt

Patent number: 9055660Abstract: A system and method for generating a plasma. An embodiment of the system for generating a plasma may include a first electrode; a second electrode disposed adjacent the first electrode; a first power supply for supplying power at the second electrode; a second power supply for generating a magnetic field; and a sequencer for coordinating a discharge of power from the first power supply and a discharge of power from the second power supply. The first power supply may be configured such that the discharge of power from the first power supply generates a plasma between the first electrode and the second electrode. The second power supply may be configured such that the magnetic field generated by the discharge of power from the second power supply rotates the plasma.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Inventor: Jack Hunt

Publication number: 20130175246Abstract: A system and method for generating a plasma. A first electrode and a second electrode are disposed adjacent to one another, not touching one another. A first power supply supplies power at the second electrode, and a second power supply generates a magnetic field. A sequencer coordinates a discharge of power from the first power supply and a discharge of power from the second power supply. The first power supply may be is configured such that the discharge of power from the first power supply generates a plasma between the first electrode and the second electrode. The second power supply is configured such that the magnetic field it generates rotates the plasma. Depending upon disclosed relative geometries of the electrodes and the magnetic field, the plasma is shaped alternatively as a disc, a dome, a sleeve, or a polygonal sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Inventors: Jack Hunt, Mark L.
