Patent number: 11538598Abstract: Clamps can be secured to a slip joint and limit flow through the same by seating on a diffuser axially regardless of wear and damage in the slip joint. An extension from the clamp seats to the inlet mixer. These extensions can be adjusted from outside the clamp to achieve an individual preload or flow limitation through the slip joint. The extension may be an O-ring or other shape. A biasing drive may connect to and move the extension from an outside surface of the clamp. The biasing drive may include a threaded cap in an outer groove that is linked to a plunger via a spring. Clamps are fabricated of materials that maintain their physical properties when exposed to an operating nuclear reactor environment and may be relatively rigid and resilient metals.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas LLCInventors: Hampton W. Lane, Bret E. Nelson, Brandon J. Schoonmaker, Lee J. Andre, Hugo P. Rooney, David J. Bell

Publication number: 20210114772Abstract: An insulating container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in either the closed configuration or the open configuration. In some examples, the rotatable lid may be non-destructively removable from the base. Some example arrangements include a removable lid that, when removed, may be secured to the base via an additional portion of the latching device. Additional features of the insulating container include handles that are integrally formed with the base, a recess formed in the base and housing a spigot, and/or a spigot guard, and/or an insulating container mount.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Inventors: Roy Joseph Seiders, James William Sonntag, Christopher M.

Patent number: 10753374Abstract: Slip joint clamps seat on a diffuser end via external features of the diffuser, like guide ears, regardless of slip joint wear or damage. The clamps can be opened and closed to surround an inlet mixer forming a slip joint with the diffuser without disassembly. Slip joint clamps drive or bias the inlet mixer in a lateral direction largely perpendicular to the axial orientation and end of the diffuser to achieve a desired preload force in the inlet mixer and clamp connection. Clamp arms include rotatable halves that, when joined, form a complete fill between an inner surface of the diffuser and outer surface of the inlet mixer. A lateral drive pushes the inlet mixer against the clamp and may include a resistive element. An accessible set of guide ear bolts and lateral driving bolts permit exterior manipulation to axially mount or laterally bias the clamp in the slip joint.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS LLCInventors: Hampton W. Lane, Jack T. Matsumoto, Ahdee Q. Chan, Emanuel Klein, David J. Bell

Patent number: 6301313Abstract: An improved mobile digital radio system is disclosed. A plurality of satellites and terrestrial repeaters transmit substantially identical information that is contained in an original time division multiplexed data stream. Each satellite transmits on a separate frequency band, and all terrestrial repeaters transmit on one shared frequency band. A mobile receiver simultaneously processes the frequency bands. The receiver selectively parses and concatenates a plurality of time division multiplexed data streams to substantially recompose the original data stream. The output may be a high fidelity audio signal, data for display, or a combination of audio and displayed data.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1998Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: Hughes Electronics CorporationInventors: John M.

Patent number: 4535898Abstract: The invention is concerned with a shelving structure of the kind which is assembled from a number of vertical elements (struts) and interconnected horizontal elements (beams), and in particular to a shelf for such a shelving structure. Such shelves are conventionally formed from sheet metal, comprising a horizontal shelf panel and flanges extending vertically downwardly from the shelf panel on at least two sides thereof, each flange being folded backwardly on itself to increase the strength of the flange. In accordance with this invention, each flange is so folded as to provide a pocket in which an elongate reinforcing member is positioned, such reinforcing members engaging the underside of the shelf panel.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1983Date of Patent: August 20, 1985Assignee: Link 51 LimitedInventors: Harold Jones, David J.
