Patent number: 8321077Abstract: Two algorithms are disclosed that, with the use of a 3-axis accelerometer, will be able to determine the angles of attack, sideslip and roll of a capsule-type spacecraft prior to entry (at very high altitudes, where the atmospheric density is still very low) and during entry. The invention relates to emergency situations in which no reliable attitude and attitude rate are available. Provided that the spacecraft would not attempt a guided entry without reliable attitude information, the objective of the entry system in such case would be to attempt a safe ballistic entry. A ballistic entry requires three controlled phases to be executed in sequence: First, cancel initial rates in case the spacecraft is tumbling; second, maneuver the capsule to a heat-shield-forward attitude, preferably to the trim attitude, to counteract the heat rate and heat load build up; and third, impart a ballistic bank or roll rate to null the average lift vector in order to prevent prolonged lift down situations.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: GB Tech, Inc.Inventor: Eduardo Garcia-Llama

Publication number: 20070193872Abstract: The solar heating, distilling, and pasteurizing system of this invention comprises an integrated distillation column-reflector-bracket assembly, a heat storage system of composite construction, and at least one evacuated glass solar collector having selective absorption. The distillation column subassembly is filled with the fluid medium to be boiled which flows into the solar vacuum tube collectors where an evaporation process takes place. A float valve mechanism mounted to the frame automatically maintains the correct liquid level inside the distillation column. The height of float valve mechanism is adjustable by means of an adjustable float bracket. The distillation column subassembly collects and concentrates the steam or vapor generated inside the attached evacuated glass solar collector tubes. The column also separates the vapor from the boiling liquid medium and conducts the vapor into a heat and distilled fluid storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Eduardo Garcia, George Vaida

Patent number: 7024301Abstract: A system and method for controlling fuel delivery through a fuel injection system to an internal combustion engine is described. An engine controller calculates a mass of fuel for delivery to one of the cylinders through one of the fuel injectors, based upon the operation of the internal combustion engine. Gas temperature in the intake runner of the cylinder is determined, and a compensation term is selected based upon the calculated mass of fuel and the determined gas temperature in the intake runner of the cylinder. The calculated mass of fuel is adjusted using the compensation term, and the controller controls open time of the fuel injector based upon the adjusted calculated mass of fuel.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Krishnendu Kar, Andrew P. Bagnasco, Sergio Eduardo Garcia, Edward George Himes
