  • Publication number: 20240360803
    Abstract: An engine comprises an air intake arrangement configured to receive air; a heat exchanger arrangement arranged downstream of the air intake arrangement, configured to cool the air, and comprising a plurality of heat exchanger modules; and one or more turbomachinery components configured to receive cooled air from the heat exchanger arrangement. The plurality of heat exchanger modules are arranged to be generally centred on and to be arranged along a longitudinal axis of the engine. At least one of the plurality of heat exchanger modules is arranged to at least partially overlap with at least one other one of the plurality of heat exchanger modules relative to the longitudinal axis of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20240097673
    Abstract: A passive timing circuit for optocoupled relay has a rail having an output for an input terminal of the optocoupled relay. The circuit also has a capacitive network between the rail and ground. The capacitance of the capacitive network can be configured according to a timing period and the circuit does not require a voltage source other than that applied by the input terminal which, over the time period, increases voltage of the rail until the relay switches.

  • Patent number: 9421023
    Abstract: What is presented is an ultrasonic waveguide for the transmission of ultrasonic vibrations that establishes a plurality of node and anti-node positions that are each along the ultrasonic waveguide's central axis. The ultrasonic waveguide comprises a waveguide tube, which has both a proximal end and a distal end; a waveguide fitting, which has both a threaded end and a impact surface; and a spring, shock-pulsing mass, and stop. Both the spring and shock-pulsing mass are each positioned on the waveguide tube. Whereas, the stop is positioned on the waveguide tube and it is adapted to non-fixedly engage the spring and shock-pulsing mass. The impact surface of the waveguide fitting is located at an anti-node position, which is along the central axis of the ultra-sonic waveguide when its installed within ultrasonic transducer while in operation.

  • Patent number: 5540656
    Abstract: An ultrasonic angioplasty device comprising an elongate ultrasound transmission member having a proximal end attachable to an ultrasound generating device and a bulbous distal head or probe formed on the distal end thereof for effecting ablative treatment of an occluding lesion. The ultrasound transmission member may be formed of one or more superelastic metal alloys such as NiTi (50 at. % Ni). A guidewire lumen may be formed in the distal head or probe to permit passage of a guidewire therethrough. Portions of the ultrasound transmission member may be curved or bent. Portions of the ultrasound transmission member may be tapered or narrowed. One or more surface disruptions may be formed on the distal head or probe to improve treatment efficacy. An increased hardness coating or outer skin may be formed on the ultrasound transmission member. The device of the present invention may be incorporated into an angioscopic device.
