  • Variable delivery swash plate pump having a piston located spill port
    Patent number: 5603609
    Abstract: An axial piston pump has multiple pistons and cylinders with a spill port in each piston. A sleeve controls venting from the spill port and an inlet is provided to each cylinder, by way of a check valve from a fluid supply.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 1995
    Date of Patent: February 18, 1997
    Assignee: Microhydraulics, Inc.
    Inventor: George Kadlicko
  • Pressure transducer with pressure sensitive conductor
    Patent number: 5594405
    Abstract: A pressure transducer has a cylindrical body with a thread formed on at least part of the outer surface. A resistance element is wound in the thread and an internal bore receives pressurized fluid. The resistance element is strained by application of pressure to vary its resistance.

  • Active suspension system
    Patent number: 5522221
    Abstract: An actuator for use in an active suspension system is controlled by a valve responsive to differential pressure across the piston of the actuator. The valve operates to allow movement of the piston so as to reduce the pressure differential. The valve is also controlled by signals indicative of position of and load applied to the actuator.

  • Piston with support member and bearing
    Patent number: 5313875
    Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine has a crown and peripheral wall to carry a piston ring. A support extends between the wall and a bearing housing to receive the connecting rod. A cylindrical support member also extends from the wall around the support to a skirt. The support member is radially inset from the wall and a cylindrical bearing member is located on its radially outer surface.

  • Flow transducer
    Patent number: 5313844
    Abstract: A flow transducer includes a piston movable in a sleeve to vary the area of an orifice. The piston may move in either direction from a position in which flow is prevented. Movement in both directions is opposed by a spring. The piston assumes a unique position for each flow rate and the position of the transducer is sensed to provide a signal indicative of low rate.

  • Rotating exhaust valve
    Patent number: 5309871
    Abstract: An exhaust for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust valve rotating within the cylinder block to communicate with successive cylinders. An exhaust conduit rotates with the valve and is of smaller diameter than the valve. Combustion products are initially exhausted thorugh the conduit to attain high velocity. Continued rotation of the valve closes the duct and directs combustion products through the valve. The conduit terminates within the valve to induce flow of gas through the valve.
