Patent number: 11927101Abstract: Tip shrouds or other shrouds with multi-slope geometries are generally implemented using segments, since performing the necessary cut for an alternative split-ring design is difficult given conventional cutting processes. However, a segmented design generally results in more leakage, relative to a split-ring design. Accordingly, a split-ring multi-slope design is disclosed that can be more easily manufactured. In particular, a continuous ring may be cut along a linear path to produce a split ring, and then the ends of the split ring may be machined to form complementary shiplap portions. The split ring may then be compressed for installation by overlapping the shiplap portions, to form a seal against leakage through the shroud.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Solar Turbines IncorporatedInventors: Megan K. Waller, Jeffrey B. Stewart, George Prater, James Maleski, Victor Antonio Chagala Galicia, Antonio Fajardo Celis, Marius Dumitrascu, Jeffrey Tarczy

Patent number: 7523890Abstract: A method of severing an extraction line connected between an extraction parachute and a cargo load when the cargo load fails to eject from an aircraft. The method comprises the steps of spacing a cutter from the extraction line; spring-biasing the cutter in the direction of the extraction line; mechanically restricting the cutter with restricting means from engaging and severing the extraction line; and disabling the restricting means in response to a radio signal from a transmitter on the aircraft so that the cutter is released and severs the extraction line.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: United States of America as represented by the SecretaryInventors: Mark N. Heflin, James B. Stewart, Samuel L. Kaesemeyer

Patent number: 7519879Abstract: A dynamic probe system for probing a FPGA with at least one core. A trace core is added to the FPGA, the trace core in communication with a plurality of signal banks, each signal bank comprising a plurality of signals in the at least one core. A logic analyzer, in communication with the trace core and selecting the bank of signal to be sent from the trace core to the logic analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2004Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joel D Woodward, Adrian M Hernandez, James B Stewart, III

Patent number: 7306188Abstract: A device for severing an extraction line connected between a cargo load and an extraction parachute when the cargo load fails to eject from an aircraft. The device comprises a cutter spaced from and spring-biased in the direction of the extraction line; a housing for the cutter; elements for mechanically restricting the cutter from engaging and severing the extraction line; and elements responsive to a radio signal from a transmitter on the aircraft for disabling the restricting means so that the cutter is released and severs the extraction line.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Inventors: Mark N. Heflin, James B. Stewart, Samuel L. Kaesemeyer

Patent number: 4701585Abstract: A microwave cookware comprising a body and a browning portion having a cooking surface and a separate heat absorbing body. The heat absorbing body is in contact with a heating matrix which absorbs microwave energy such that increased amount of heat is retained for transfer to the cooking surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1986Date of Patent: October 20, 1987Assignee: Kidde Consumer Durables Corp.Inventor: James B. Stewart

Patent number: 4567905Abstract: A slideable control is provided for use in retractable bristle brushes. It operates by co-action with a rotatable, cylindrical mandrel carrying pivoted bristles and having an angular cam slot. The control includes a longitudinally slideable button in the handle which has a control pin operatively extending through a control slot in the handle and then into the cam slot to cause rotation of the mandrel. The angular cam slot includes an axial portion at each end to receive the control pin and to lock the mandrel in a position with the bristles either fully retracted or fully extended. The control button includes a pair of parallel guide blades, one on each side of the control pin, slideable within slotted guides in the handle, to reduce torque between the control pin and the cam slot. The control slot may include detents proximate to its ends to receive and hold the control pin against longitudinal movement.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1984Date of Patent: February 4, 1986Assignee: Conair CorporationInventors: James B. Stewart, Edward J. Doyle
