Patent number: 11047506Abstract: This present invention relates to a fluid flow control device, such as a valve in an internal combustion exhaust pipe. The fluid flow control device includes a valve assembly and an actuator assembly. The fluid flow control device further includes a cooling ring positioned between the actuator assembly and valve assembly in order to thermally isolate the sensors, controllers and other elements of the actuator assembly from heat that may be present in the valve assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Aventics CorporationInventors: Oswaldo Baasch, Jon A. Bigley, Danny W. Brown, Glenn Wethington

Patent number: 10359061Abstract: This present invention relates to a remote electro-hydraulic actuator for actuating of mechanical devices, such as a valve in an internal combustion exhaust pipe. The actuator includes a multi-vane rotational assembly that flows the working fluid through strategically sized flow channels within the structure of the rotational assembly. The size of the holes are sized to help the stability of the valve and can also be provided with pressure check valves or reed valves to dampen the rotation of the valve and reduce any instabilities due to pulsations driven back via the output shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Aventics CorporationInventors: Oswaldo Baasch, Glenn Wethington, Jon A.

Patent number: 6219136Abstract: A digital signal processor system is provided which detects defect in tubular knit fabric. The signal processor system is attached to a circular knitting machine or the like and utilizes a fiber optic scanning head for obtaining light reflectance data from the material. Fiber optic material is utilized to project light against the fabric web and another fiber optic bundle is utilized to read reflected light. A opto-sensor pixel array is utilized to provide voltage data to a digital signal processor which then analyzes the data to determine the existence of end out, holes, light or heavy yarn and needle run conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: Union Underwear Company, Inc.Inventors: C. C. Kuo, Jimmy D. Claiborne, Henry L. Cantrell, Steve T. Turner, Glenn Wethington
