Publication number: 20240088912Abstract: A system and method for data compression with encryption, that produces a conditioned data stream by replacing data blocks within an input data stream to bring the frequency of each data block closer to an ideal value, produces an error stream comprising the differences between the original data and the encrypted data, and compresses the conditioned data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joshua Cooper, Aliasghar Riahi, Mojgan Haddad, Ryan Kourosh Riahi, Razmin Riahi, Charles Yeomans, Grant Fickes

Patent number: 11912262Abstract: A vehicle includes an air-conditioning (AC) compressor, an engine, a belt-integrated starter generator (BISG), and a controller. The controller, responsive to detecting a first AC compressor engagement condition, compares a first AC torque demand that is required to engage the AC compressor with an available torque from the BISG. The controller further, responsive to the available torque being insufficient to engage the AC compressor, engages the AC compressor using the available torque from the BISG and an engine torque from the engine to compensate a torque shortfall between the AC torque demand and the available torque by retarding spark timing and increasing air intake.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Tom Leroy, Nicholas Dashwood Crisp, Athul Raj, Grant Cooper

Patent number: 11420248Abstract: An impact-compensating bucking bar and its use to reduce impacts during riveting, where the bucking bar includes a body; a strike surface on a distal portion of the body, a compensating inertial mass coupled to the body by a flexible and resilient mass support, and a handgrip coupled to the body and configured for the user to urge the strike surface of the bucking bar against a tail of a rivet to facilitate upsetting the rivet tail during riveting. A relative movement of the compensating inertial mass of the bucking bar in response to a strike on the rivet head at least partially dissipates energy imparted to the body during riveting, reducing impact stresses on the bucking bar user.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Steven Griffin, Darby Grant Cooper, Naval Kishore Agarwal

Patent number: 11326521Abstract: A method of igniting liquid fuel in a turbomachine combustor is provided. The method includes a step of initiating a flow of gaseous fuel from a gaseous fuel supply to a gaseous fuel nozzle. The method further includes a step of initiating a flow of liquid fuel from a liquid fuel supply to a primary liquid fuel cartridge. After initiating both the flow of gaseous fuel and the flow of liquid fuel, the method includes a step of igniting the flow of gaseous fuel and the flow of liquid fuel with an igniter. The method further includes a step of terminating the flow of gaseous fuel from the gaseous fuel supply to the gaseous fuel nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Steven C. Castellaw, David August Snider, Mark William Pinson, Mark Mitchell, Robert Walter Arnold, Christopher Grant Cooper

Publication number: 20190137024Abstract: A fusible fitting of this disclosure includes a saddle having a radially extending branch with a closed bottom end. The closed bottom end forms a portion of the saddle and contains some of the fusion wires that run through the saddle. After the fitting is fused to a pipe, the closed bottom end may be tapped through, with that portion of the fusion wires being removed along with the coupon. Because of this configuration, the branch may be a size-on-size or near size-on-size branch. For example, the radially extending branch may have an inside diameter in a range of greater than 75% of an inside diameter of the pipe to 100% of the inside diameter of the pipe plus one wall thickness of the pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Grant Cooper, Jared Sickles

Patent number: 9994338Abstract: A habitation module with a gravity chamber that provides an artificial gravity environment. In one embodiment, the gravity chamber is annular and includes an outer cylindrical wall, an inner cylindrical structure, and opposing side walls that connect the outer cylindrical wall and the inner cylindrical structure. The gravity chamber attaches to an outer surface of a hull of the habitation module with support bearings. The support bearing includes an inner race attached to the outer surface of the hull, and an outer race attached to the gravity chamber. A drive mechanism drives the outer race of the support bearing to rotate the gravity chamber about an axis to simulate a gravitational force within the gravity chamber.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Raju Dharmaraj, Patrick A. Swartzell, Karl David Heiman, Darby Grant Cooper, James Michael Engle
