Patent number: 11078846Abstract: A fuel delivery system includes a turbine, a pump, and an oxygen removal unit. The turbine is adapted to receive and expel fuel at different pressures. The pump is in fluid communication with, and mechanically coupled to, the turbine, and is configured to expel and receive the fuel at about the respective different pressures. The turbine is configured to convert pressure energy of the fuel to kinetic energy to drive the pump. The oxygen removal unit is in fluid communication with at least one of the turbine and the pump, and is configured to remove oxygen from the fuel.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: HAMILTON SUNSTRAND CORPORATIONInventors: Morgan O'Rorke, Erick Ramos

Publication number: 20190112987Abstract: A fuel supply system for a gas turbine engine has a fuel tank, a main fuel pump for receiving fuel from the fuel tank, and an electric pump also for receiving fuel from the fuel tank. The main fuel pump and the electric pump both deliver fuel to a sharing valve. The sharing valve selectively delivers fuel downstream into a gas generator portion of the gas turbine engine and to an augmentor. A control is programmed to control the sharing valve, such that fuel flows from the main fuel pump to the augmentor, and to the gas generator at higher demand operation, and does not flow from the main fuel pump at lower demand operation. A gas turbine engine and a method are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2017Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: Morgan O'Rorke, Erick Ramos, Adrian L. Stoicescu

Patent number: 8844257Abstract: An exemplary apparatus for supplying lubricant to a gear assembly in a gas turbine engine includes a valve having a valve inlet configured to be coupled to a source of lubricant. A valve outlet is configured to direct lubricant to the gear assembly. The valve is selectively controllable into a plurality of settings for varying an amount of lubricant flowing from the valve inlet to the valve outlet. A bypass is associated with the valve. The bypass has an inlet configured to receive lubricant from the source and an outlet configured to direct lubricant to the gear assembly. The bypass permits at least a selected amount of lubricant to flow to the gear assembly independent of a setting of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Francis Parnin, Erick Ramos, Anthony Spagnoletti

Publication number: 20120123954Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a certificate of compliance for a product. A product control system (PCS) retrieves specification and/or regulatory data for a particular product and compares the retrieved data to test result data obtained for that particular product. The PCS generates a product certification if the test result data indicates that the product is in compliance with the specification data and/or the regulatory data. A product test plan generation system (PTPGS) enables a user to interact with a user interface to retrieve a test plan for a particular product. The test plan can be used to obtain test results for the particular product.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2011Publication date: May 17, 2012Inventors: Gene Rider, Karen Ng, Joseph Mohorovic, Xiao Chen, Ruben Suarez, Mark Mrozek, Brian Check, Stephanie Fok, Erick Ramos

Publication number: 20100257008Abstract: A total cost of ownership of a product and/or supplier and related supply chain may include a multitude of cost basis that might be quantified and rated with other comparisons. The product risk might include various factors such as quality, safety, guarantee, defect rate, and the like. The supplier risk may include quite a number of risk factors such as location, costs associate with transportation, landing fees, inspection fees, labor costs, inventory costs, and the like. Based on quantified aspects related to a product and its supplier (or supply chain), a total cost of ownership related to such product or supplier can be determined. Moreover, such as capability may be related to overall return on investment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2010Publication date: October 7, 2010Inventors: Gene Rider, John Qin, Xiao Chen, Luke Tao, Jackson Cheung, Erick Ramos

Patent number: 6065337Abstract: A pediatric biomechanics model provides accurate information regarding the types and magnitudes of forces that children can apply to products such as toys. The model is used to obtain measurements of the actual forces that children can generate, which permits product designers to design products that will not be easily broken by children. Based on these measurements, manufacturers can design their products to reduce the risk of injury a product may pose to a child as well as to keep the product from breaking.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Risk Analysis and ManagementInventors: Scott M. Milkovich, Daniel K. Stool, Erick Ramos
