  • Patent number: 11970976
    Abstract: A fuel injector for a turbine engine includes a fuel scheduling valve configured for regulation of fuel flow from a fuel inlet, in response to fuel pressure received at the fuel inlet. Primary, secondary and auxiliary fuel circuits receive fuel from the scheduling valve, and an electrically-controlled valve is provided in fluid communication with the auxiliary circuit, which electrically-controlled valve is adapted and configured to actively control fuel through the auxiliary circuit in response to a control signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070148484
    Abstract: A laminate structure for both packaging and non-packaging applications, including a five layer coextrusion composite containing an EVOH/polyolefin composite barrier layer coated or applied to a paper or paperboard substrate. The laminated structure may contain a layer of linear low density polyethylene or other layers, as needed for the application. The EVOH/polyolefin blend layer is preferably a blend of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer having 44% ethylene moiety and a low density polyethylene polymer. The blend barrier, which is part of a five layer coextrusion composite layer provides improved oxygen and moisture barrier characteristics to a package, prepared from such a laminated structure, as well as improved rigidity and heat resistance, thereby providing longer shelf life and excellent flavor retention to the stored contents as well as improved dimensional stability to the cartons, package or containers, at a reduced cost.
