Patent number: 11933204Abstract: An engine component comprises one or more thermal barrier coatings applied to one or more areas of the engine component. The thermal barrier coatings reduce the temperature rate of change of the areas to which the thermal barrier coating is applied. Reducing the temperature rate of change can help reduce lattice structure damage caused by different temperatures in different areas of the engine component. The thermal barrier coating can be applied as a monolithic layer on a surface of the engine component or can be applied in different areas using patterns. The patterns allow for the tuning of the performance characteristics (temperature rate of change) of the areas of the engine component and can help reduce defect propagation, such as cracks, in the thermal barrier coating from one area of the thermal barrier coating to other areas of the thermal barrier coating.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Chad Palmer Koci, Kenth I. Svensson, Eric Donald Wiebrecht, Venkatesan Veeriah, Qingzhong Li, Suresh Babu Chennagowni

Patent number: 11918240Abstract: A clot removal system comprises a catheter, a vacuum source, and a controller. The catheter comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and controller operating parameters and defines a lumen configured to be filled with a liquid column having a proximal portion. The vacuum source is configured to supply vacuum. The controller is configured to carry out a control pattern of turning on and off the vacuum based upon the controller operating parameters and is configured to receive the controller operating parameters in an automatic response to the catheter being operatively connected to at least one of the vacuum source and the controller and, responsive to the connection, to carry out the control pattern to change a level of vacuum at the distal end of the catheter.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: RapidPulse, Inc.Inventors: Derek Dee Deville, Matthew A.

Publication number: 20230388913Abstract: Various arrangements for facilitating digital content in multi-network television receiver communication systems are provided. A general network access point can provide access to a general network. A private network access point can provide access to a private network. Credentials for accessing the private network are distributed by a primary television receiver configured to determine that a secondary television receiver is connected to the general network via the general network access point. In response, the primary television receiver transmits, via the general network, credentials configured to enable the secondary television receiver to access the private network via the private network access point to the secondary television receiver. The primary television receiver is further configured to transmit, via the private network, digital media content to the secondary television receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Aram Semerjyan, Eric Palmer

Patent number: 9665097Abstract: A flight control system for an aircraft includes at least one flight control computer that carries out a ground lift dump function that selectively extends a spoiler located on a wing of the aircraft into an airflow passing over the wing. The at least one flight control computer includes arming logic that is responsive to an input signal indicative of an aircraft parameter to automatically arm the ground lift dump function during certain phases of operation of the aircraft. The at least one flight control computer includes spoiler deployment logic that is responsive to an arming signal from the aiming logic which indicates that the ground lift function is armed to deploy the spoiler into its extended position within the airflow passing over the wing of the aircraft to assist in stopping the aircraft while the aircraft is on the ground.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: BOMBARDIER INC.Inventors: Antoine Letang, Florian Chedaleux, Vincent Poudou, Lawrence Oberfeld, Eric Palmer

Publication number: 20100274409Abstract: The invention describes an over-speed governor for a stairlift which not only triggers a safety gear or brake upon the carriage exceeding a pre-determined speed, but also triggers the safety gear in the event the carriage unexpectedly reverses its direction. In a preferred embodiment, the over-speed governor also triggers the safety gear in the event the chair departs from the horizontal by more than a predetermined angle. The speed determining function is preferably electronic and the safety gear operates in both directions without adaptation. Other aspects are described including setting the trip speed as a function of carriage position on the rail.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2009Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: STANNAH STAIRLIFTS LIMITEDInventors: Leonard Smith, Tony Eric Palmer
