Patent number: 11939935Abstract: A coupling system is utilized to form a multi-part rocket engine thrust compartment that maintains inner channels within walls of the thrust compartment for regenerative cooling. The coupling system includes an insert joint arranged between joint faces of a first segment and a second segment. The first segment and the second segment include inner edges that, when jointed together, form an inner wall. The joint insert is installed between the first segment and the second segment after the inner wall is formed and coupled to the first segment and the second segment. The joint faces of the first segment and the second segment include extending feature to form a flow passage along with cavities at least partially defined by the joint insert.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: ABL Space SystemsInventors: Harrison O'Hanley, Ryan Kuhn, Jessica Pauley, Oleg Teplyuk

Patent number: 11759837Abstract: A method for forming a dome used in a launch vehicle includes cutting a disk from a plate, the disk having a first disk diameter. The method also includes forming a bend in the disk, the bend applying a curvature to at least a portion of the disk, the disk having a second disk diameter after the forming. The method further includes performing a first heat-treating process to the disk. The method also includes performing a second heat-treating process to the disk. The method further includes machining the disk to remove at least a portion of a thickness of the disk.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2019Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: ABL SPACE SYSTEMSInventors: Harrison O'Hanley, Daniel Piemont

Patent number: 10962012Abstract: A positive displacement rotary compressor is designed for near isothermal compression, high pressure ratios, high revolutions per minute, high efficiency, mixed gas/liquid compression, a low temperature increase, a low outlet temperature, and/or a high outlet pressure. Liquid injectors provide cooling liquid that cools the working fluid and improves the efficiency of the compressor. A gate moves within the compression chamber to either make contact with or be proximate to the rotor as it turns.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: HICOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Pedro Santos, Jeremy Pitts, Andrew Nelson, Johannes Santen, John Walton, Mitchell Westwood, Harrison O'Hanley

Patent number: 8794941Abstract: A positive displacement compressor designed for near isothermal compression. A rotor includes a curved sealing portion that coincides with a in an interior rotor casing wall. Liquid injectors provide cooling liquid. A gate moves within the compression chamber to either make contact with or be proximate to the rotor as it turns. Gate positioning systems position the gate in this manner, taking into account the shape of the rotor. Outlet valves allow for expulsion of liquids and compressed gas. The unique geometry and relationship between the parts provides for efficiencies and higher pressures not previously found in existing compressor designs.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Oscomp Systems Inc.Inventors: Pedro Santos, Jeremy Pitts, Andrew Nelson, Johannes Santen, John Walton, Mitchell Westwood, Harrison O'Hanley
