Patent number: 9535427Abstract: Temperature-controlled pressure regulators are described. An example temperature-controlled pressure regulator described herein includes a regulator body having a process fluid inlet fluidly coupled to a process fluid outlet via a first passageway and a heat transfer medium inlet to be fluidly coupled to a heat transfer medium outlet via a second passageway, where the heat transfer medium inlet is integrally formed with the regulator body. A heat chamber body is removably coupled to the regulator body to form a chamber between the heat transfer medium inlet and the heat transfer medium outlet. At least a portion of the first passageway is disposed within the chamber, and the chamber is to receive a heat transfer medium via the heat transfer medium inlet to provide heat to the process fluid as the process fluid flows through the chamber via the first passageway, which separates the process fluid from the heat transfer medium.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Tescom CorporationInventors: Daryll Duane Patterson, Eric Jacob Burgett

Patent number: 9128492Abstract: Fluid regulators are described. An example regulator includes a regulator body defining a sensing chamber between an inlet and an outlet of a fluid flow passageway of the fluid regulator. A bonnet is coupled to the regulator body and defines a loading chamber disposed adjacent the sensing chamber. The loading chamber is substantially sealed relative to the sensing chamber and an environment surrounding the fluid regulator. A sensor guide is disposed between the sensing chamber and the loading chamber and has at least one seal to fluidly isolate the loading chamber from the sensing chamber. The sensor guide has a vent flow path between the sensing chamber and the loading chamber to vent the sensing chamber during a failure condition of the at least one seal.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: TESCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Moritz Klaus Olbrisch, Daryll Duane Patterson, Falk Rapsch

Patent number: 8307843Abstract: Temperature-controlled pressure regulators are described. An example temperature-controlled pressure regulator described herein includes a regulator body having an inlet fluidly coupled to an outlet via a first passageway. A heat block is disposed within the regulator body and receives at least a portion of the first passageway. The heat block is to provide heat to the process fluid as the process fluid flows through the heat block via the first passageway, which separates the process fluid from the heat block.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Tescom CorporationInventors: Daryll Duane Patterson, Eric Jacob Burgett, Jonathan Elliot Berg, Keith Duwayne Monson, Sheila Snitker McKee

Publication number: 20100276614Abstract: Modular in-line fluid regulators are described. An example fluid regulator apparatus includes a fluid regulator comprising a body defining a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet. The fluid inlet port is configured to interchangeably receive a coupling associated with one-stage fluid regulation or a modular in-line fluid regulator associated with two-stage fluid regulation. The modular in-line fluid regulator is configured to be positioned substantially within the fluid inlet port to change the fluid regulator apparatus from a one-stage fluid regulator to a two-stage fluid regulator. The fluid regulator apparatus includes a diaphragm operatively coupled to a valve assembly to control a flow of fluid through the valve assembly based on a pressure of the fluid outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2010Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventors: Daryll Duane Patterson, Jason Dirk Jablonski

Publication number: 20100212757Abstract: In-line pressure regulators are described. An example in-line pressure regulator includes a body having threads to threadingly engage a port of another pressure regulator. The body defines an inlet, an aperture, and a seating surface. Additionally, the example in-line pressure regulator includes a piston assembly operatively coupled to a valve plug. The piston assembly is slidably movable relative to the body to move the valve plug relative to the aperture and the seating surface to control a flow of fluid between the inlet and the other regulator. Additionally, the piston assembly is to slidably and sealingly engage a surface of the port of the other pressure regulator.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2009Publication date: August 26, 2010Inventors: Daryll Duane Patterson, Eric Jacob Burgett

Patent number: 7761163Abstract: The invention relates to heart stimulators and implantable atrial pacemakers which utilize a rhythm based atrial capture threshold test wherein in a ventricle based DDI mode a predetermined number of ventricle started atrial and ventricular escape intervals are triggered with an overdrive rate about 20% higher than an intrinsic heart rate. The number of atrial sense events during atrial capture threshold test is counted. Too high of a number of atrial sense events indicates loss of capture due to too small of a pulse strength of the atrial stimulation pulses.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Biotronik CRM Patent AGInventors: Christopher S. de Voir, Jie Lian, Richard A.

The example regulator also includes a first fluid regulator having a valve to control the flow of fluid from the inlet to the outlet, a piston coupled to the valve via a stem, wherein the piston is to receive a pressure associated with the outlet. The first fluid valve also includes a spring plate movable along a longitudinal axis of the stem, a spring disposed between the piston and the spring plate, and an adjuster engaged with the body to move the spring plate to change a compression of the spring and a regulated outlet pressure of the fluid regulator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2007Publication date: March 19, 2009Inventors: Daryll Duane Patterson, Eric Jacob Burgett
