  • Patent number: 11974418
    Abstract: This document describes a light-sealing gasket with crossbar force distribution. The gasket can be used in an electronic device with a sensor package that is capable of transmitting and receiving signals and is positioned behind a display of the device. The gasket provides a shield between the receive signals and the transmit signals, prevents signal crosstalk, and protects the delicate panel layer of the display. Use of this gasket in an electronic device allows manufacturers to add more features to the device and enrich the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20180163966
    Abstract: A fuel supply system for fuel injectors of a multi-stage combustor of a gas turbine engine. The fuel supply system includes a metering and splitting arrangement which receives a total fuel flow and controllably meters and splits the received total fuel flow into metered pilot and mains flows. The fuel supply system further includes a de-priming sub-system, one or more fuel lines of a mains fuel distribution pipework being fluidly connected to the mains fuel discharge orifices and extending to the de-priming sub-system, and the de-priming sub-system being configured to remove the mains fuel from the injectors. A re-priming sub-system, the one or more fuel lines of the mains fuel distribution pipework also extending to the re-priming sub-system, and the re-priming sub-system being configured to refill the injectors with mains fuel through the one or more fuel lines when the mains distribution pipework is selected for pilot and mains operation.

  • Publication number: 20160178204
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system comprises a pump, a fuel metering device located downstream of the pump, and a fuel spill loop from the fuel metering device to a discharge point at a location upstream of the pump. The fuel metering device regulates the fuel flow to a combustor and directs surplus fuel delivered by the pump through the fuel spill loop. The system further includes a means for controlling one or more of the pressure and volume of the fuel flow delivered to the fuel metering device independently of the engine operating conditions to thereby control the temperature of the fuel.
