Publication number: 20240026839Abstract: A device and assembly for reliably generating supersonic detonation waves in a fuel and air or fuel and oxygen mixture. The device may use a hemispherical detonation chamber into which reactants, comprising a fuel and air or oxygen mixture are injected and ignited by a laser igniter to initiate a detonation wave. The wave is reflected by the hemispherical geometry of the detonation chamber and may exit the device through a fast-acting valve. The detonation chamber may be then purged and the cycle is repeated many times per second. The device may be used for various applications which include but are not limited to a stand-alone intermittent combustion engine, a pre-detonator for an intermittent combustion engine, a projectile launcher, a cleaning device, acoustical energy generation, pressure energy generation, various manufacturing processes and electric power generation. The device may use liquid, gaseous, or solid fuels, depending on the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventor: Alden David Meier

Patent number: 10997264Abstract: Systems and techniques for delivery of contextual interest from interaction information are described that process user interactions with digital content to generate user interest scores for various topics. A contextual user interest system uses user interaction data to identify and contextualize content, and assigns propensity scores to the contextualized content. By dynamically contextualizing pages of content, the contextual user interest system may adapt to changes in the content and provide more accurate and robust information over time, which is not possible using conventional techniques. The contextualized pages of content are used to assign user interest scores across a number of topics to users who have visited the pages of content, and the user interest scores are normalized in a manner that allows a user's degree of interest in a topic to be compared to that of another user.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Charles Menguy, Sudhakar Pandey, Roshan Singh, Ravi Prakash Singh, David Meier Weinstein, Ankush Sharma

Publication number: 20190047129Abstract: A combustion chamber has a combustion chamber wall formed as a hollow cylinder defining a cylinder axis, a bottom that is adjustable along the cylinder axis within the hollow cylinder, relative to the combustion chamber wall, and a seal, which lies against the bottom on the one side and against the combustion chamber wall on the other side, in a radial direction with reference to the cylinder axis. The seal comprises a first seal ring extending in the circumferential direction with reference to the cylinder axis and has a first interruption, and a second seal ring extending in the circumferential direction with reference to the cylinder axis and has a second interruption. The first interruption has a first angular position along the circumferential direction, and the second interruption has a second angular position along the circumferential direction, wherein the first angular position and the second angular position form an angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2017Publication date: February 14, 2019Applicant: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas SPERRFECHTER, Thorsten BARTZ, Peter STAUSS-REINER, David MEIER

Patent number: 6409160Abstract: A spring assembly having a coil containing a core and methods and apparatus for manufacturing same are disclosed. The coil includes a core between reduced portions of the coil. One device for manufacturing the coil includes a coiling machine having an insert device operable with a coiler. The coiler is programmed to form coils of appropriate diameter along the length of the coil, including a diameter sufficiently large to contain the core and two diameters sufficiently small to retain the core in the coil. The insert device transfers the core to the coil after the first small diameter is formed and before the second small diameter is formed. The coil with the core contained between the two small diameters is thereby manufactured in a unified automated process.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2001Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Precision Products Group, Inc.Inventors: David A.
