Patent number: 10422027Abstract: Metastable beta titanium alloys and methods of processing metastable ?-titanium alloys are disclosed. For example, certain non-limiting embodiments relate to metastable ?-titanium alloys, such as binary ?-titanium alloys comprising greater than 10 weight percent molybdenum, having tensile strengths of at least 150 ksi and elongations of at least 12 percent. Other non-limiting embodiments relate to methods of processing metastable ?-titanium alloys, and more specifically, methods of processing binary ?-titanium alloys comprising greater than 10 weight percent molybdenum, wherein the method comprises hot working and aging the metastable ?-titanium alloy at a temperature below the ?-transus temperature of the metastable ?-titanium alloy for a time sufficient to form ?-phase precipitates in the metastable ?-titanium alloy. The metastable ?-titanium alloys are not solution heat treated after hot working and prior to aging.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: ATI PROPERTIES LLCInventors: Brian Marquardt, John Randolph Wood, Howard L.

Patent number: 10046134Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption oxygen generator to separate oxygen from air for use with a pressure source generating a high pressure and a low pressure. The pressure swing adsorption oxygen generator includes an adsorption bed having a bed of nitrogen absorbent material; and a multi-position rotary valve for controlling pressure swing adsorption of the adsorption bed, and being couplable to the pressure source for fluid communication therewith and in fluid communication with the adsorption bed. The rotary valve includes a cam having first and second rotary positions, in the first rotary position of the cam the rotary valve communicating high pressure generated by the pressure source to the adsorption bed and in the second rotary position of the cam the rotary valve communicating low pressure generated by the pressure source to the adsorption bed.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Ventec Life Systems, Inc.Inventors: Douglas F.

Publication number: 20140075506Abstract: A global, broadband communications and computing system Platform for commercial aircraft selects a “current best” communication link from multiple available links. Onboard network access components, such as Wi-Fi and GSM pico-cells, enable wired/wireless devices to use the aircraft's broadband communications links. The Platform uses virtualization and distributed systems computing technology to create a system of systems that extends an airline company's ground communications and computing systems server(s) onboard aircraft in the fleet, regardless of model, age, or manufacturer. The Platform can host airline operational applications and services onboard the aircraft. An onboard system collects data from multiple aircraft systems, tags it with trusted time and origin metadata, and securely transmits it to a ground portion of the Platform in real time (or as links are available), and receives data for distribution to appropriate onboard systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: IJET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Terry L.
