Patent number: 11994041Abstract: Diffuser apparatus for turbine frames and outlet guide vanes are disclosed. An example diffuser is integrated into a turbine engine. The example diffuser includes a plurality of struts extending between an inner portion and an outer portion of the turbine engine; and a plurality of flowpath surfaces supported by the plurality of struts. The example plurality of flowpath surfaces extends circumferentially within the turbine engine at a plurality of radial spans to control diffusion of air flow within the turbine engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Christopher R.

Patent number: 11980408Abstract: An intravascular catheter for peri-vascular and/or peri-urethral tissue ablation includes multiple needles advanced through supported guide tubes which expand with open ends around a central axis to engage the interior surface of the wall of the renal artery or other vessel of a human body allowing the injection an ablative fluid for ablating tissue, and/or nerve fibers in the outer layer or deep to the outer layer of the vessel, or in prostatic tissue. The system also includes means to limit and/or adjust the depth of penetration of the ablative fluid into and beyond the tissue of the vessel wall. The preferred embodiment of the catheter includes structures which provide radial and lateral support to the guide tubes so that the guide tubes open uniformly and maintain their position against the interior surface of the vessel wall as the sharpened injection needles are advanced to penetrate into the vessel wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Ablative Solutions, Inc.Inventors: David R. Fischell, Tim A. Fischell, Robert Ryan Ragland, Darrin James Kent, Andy Edward Denison, Eric Thomas Johnson, Jeff Alan Burke, Christopher Scott Hayden

Publication number: 20240124795Abstract: The instant disclosure is generally directed to low viscosity, low volatility lubricating compositions. The lubricating composition of the instant disclosure includes an oil of lubricating viscosity that contains a lubricating base oil and a hydrocarbon oil. The hydrocarbon oil makes up least 20 wt % of the oil of lubricating viscosity and has a kinematic viscosity of less than 3.7 c St at 100° C. and a NOACK volatility (measured by ASTM D5800) of less than 25 wt %. The lubricant composition further includes a polyalkenyl succinimide dispersant, and, optionally, other formulation additives. The lubricating compositions have been shown to increase fuel economy in internal combustion engines.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2020Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: The Lubrizol CorporationInventors: James D.

Patent number: 10569388Abstract: A fixture for holding a part comprises a frame supporting a guide plate. A controlled engagement device passes through the guide plate and is arranged to be advanced incrementally towards a first end of a fulcrum beam. A second end of the fulcrum beam is connected to a linkage arm, the linkage arm passing through a gap in the guide plate. An end of the linkage arm distal to the fulcrum beam has a swivel clamp mounted thereto. A support is arranged to face the swivel clamp and defines a space there between, the space being configured to receive a part to be clamped in the fixture.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE plcInventor: Christopher R Johnson

Patent number: 6116772Abstract: A kit for facilitating the mixing of ingredients in a medical office. The kit includes at least one free-standing, disposable bowl and one dual-purpose disposable spatula. Each free-standing, disposable bowl has a closed bottom for supporting the bowl in an upstanding position. An integrally molded, radially, outwardly extending planar lip around the periphery of the top imparts rigidity to the bowl. The free-standing disposable bowl can then be used for mixing ingredients without the requirement for any additional support structure. The dual-purpose spatula has one shape that conforms to the bowl for optimizing the mixing of one set of ingredients and another shape at the other end thereof for optimizing the mixing of other ingredients.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1998Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Millennium Advantage ProductsInventors: Ellen V.
