Publication number: 20240018934Abstract: A “hydraulic rotating machinery” (“HRM”) system provides optimal energy efficiency over a very wide conditions of service (“COS”) range by configuring a plurality of variable speed HRMs in a “cluster.” The HRMs are interconnected by one or more valves that can be actuated by a controller to configure and vary a flow path through which a process fluid flows from an inlet to an outlet. By actively selecting which of the HRMs are included in the flow path, the interconnections therebetween, and the operating speeds thereof, the controller ensures that the HRM cluster continues to operate at optimal efficiency as the COS fluctuates over a very wide range. The HRMs can be identical to each other, or can vary in design. The HRM system can be implemented for storage and retrieval of green energy. The controller can also monitor the health of the cluster and/or of the associated process.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2022Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Flowserve Management CompanyInventors: Andreas Dreiss, Mark O'Sullivan, Scott C.

Patent number: 11655822Abstract: A multi-stage hydraulic rotating machine (MSHRM) maintains near-optimal efficiency over widely varying conditions of service (COS) when controlling a fluid having a gas volume fraction (GVF) greater than 50% and large changes in volumetric flow rate (VFR) between stages. The MSHRM includes separately controlled stages having at least two different designs with different VFR ranges. Stage impellor differences can include impellor diameter, blade pitch, blade width, blade number, inlet diameter, and outlet diameter. Diffusers can differ in similar ways between stages. VFR ranges can be progressively higher or lower in successive stages. The stages can share a common VFR range within which incompressible liquids can be controlled. The MSHRM can function as a pump or turbine, and can be applicable to energy storage and recovery in “green” energy systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Flowserve Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Andreas Dreiss, Bonnie M. Brezinsky, Gregory Morrison, Neil Havrilla, Scott C. Judge

Patent number: 11432824Abstract: A radial compression band employs a substantially rigid U-like cuff that fits over a patient's arm and then snaps onto a tightening band. A movable bubble member is positioned for movement along the band separate from the attachment to the patient and is inflatable to provide pressure to an incision or the like to accomplish hemostasis. A plural bubble member version provides multiple pressure application positions.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2017Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: TZ MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Gregory Morrison, Michael Morrison, John Lubisich

Patent number: 11253679Abstract: A medical device or catheter management system comprises several layers where a top layer has one or more channels to receive one or more elongated medical devices or members and a bottom layer comprises adhesive to secure the catheter management system to a patient or other secure site in the operating field. A firm upper surface causes the elongated medical devices or members to stay in the channels, whereas a firm inner layer facilitates maintaining the shape of the catheter management system and providing resistance for an operator to easily release an elongated medical device or member.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2016Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Nexus Control Systems, LLCInventors: Todd J. Cohen, John R. Lubisich, Gregory Morrison, Michael Morrison
