  • Patent number: 12237711
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the total load presented to an AC power source such as a generator or inverter used to provide backup or portable power. The frequency of the output AC power is controlled in response to the loading on the power source, thereby providing information about that loading of the power source which is carried by the AC power itself, thus reducing or eliminating the need for traditional wired and wireless communications. By controlling the frequency of AC power, controllable loads and load control devices can determine the amount of remaining power available from the power source in order to determine if a given load can be connected without creating an overload. The frequency may also be controlled at the power source to indicate an overload, with the loads being responsive to that overload frequency to reduce the load and thereby alleviate the overload.

  • Patent number: 12116452
    Abstract: A blend composition comprising a first polyester and a second polyester. The first and second polyesters each comprises residues of terephthalic acid, neopentyl glycol (NPG), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), ethylene glycol (EG), and/or diethylene glycol (DEG). The first polyester comprises NPG, CHDM, and DEG in a combined amount that is less than the second polyester. The blend composition can be useful for producing a shrink film exhibiting high ultimate shrinkage (e.g., >65% at 95° C. for 10 seconds) and a high strain induced crystalline melting point (e.g., greater than 190° C.).

  • Patent number: 11932529
    Abstract: In described examples, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) includes a first element and a second element. The first element is mounted on a substrate and has a first contact surface. The second element is mounted on the substrate and has a second contact surface that protrudes from the second element to form an acute contact surface. The first element and/or the second element is/are operable to move in: a first direction, such that the first contact surface comes in contact with the second contact surface; and a second direction, such that the second contact surface separates from the first contact surface.

  • Patent number: 11867181
    Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a compressor having a hermetically sealed housing and a compression mechanism which is positioned inside the housing; a condenser which is fluidly connected to the compressor; an evaporator which is fluidly connected between the condenser and the compressor; a magnetic coupling having a drive coupling half positioned outside the housing and a driven coupling half positioned inside the housing and separated from the drive coupling half by a separation wall portion of the housing; and a fluid conduit for communicating a portion of liquid refrigerant from the condenser to an inside surface of the separation wall portion. During operation, the liquid refrigerant from the condenser is evaporated on or adjacent the inside surface of the separation wall portion to thereby dissipate heat generated by magnetically induced eddy currents in the separation wall portion.

  • Patent number: 11713722
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described by which to provide a turbine engine compressor particulate offtake. A gas turbine engine comprising a compressor may perform the techniques. The compressor may comprise a plurality of compressor stages, where each compressor stage comprises a circumferential row of stator vanes and a rotor. The compressor may also include an outer circumferential casing that defines a fluidic opening within or between adjacent compressor stages. The fluidic opening may be configured to receive particulate flowing and air through the compressor and output the particulate and air outside of the gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine also includes a combustor in series flow downstream of the compressor, and a turbine in series flow downstream of the combustor.

  • Patent number: 11382440
    Abstract: A cuboctahedron-shaped photo cube, comprised of six identically folded sheets of strong, but flexible transparent thermoplastic, assembled to allow the display of six two or three dimensional pieces of art or other objects. Each sheet has a square area, serving as a display panel and is accompanied by a backing sheet to press two-dimensional art firmly against it. Users access the interior by pulling a sheet from the structure. Art or objects are then placed inside the unit. To replace the removed sheet, one of its winged tabs is pinched with a thumb and forefinger and inserted into one of the available slots on the structure until it snaps into place. This action is repeated for the remaining aligned tabs and slots. The purpose of this invention is to present six display panels simultaneously without any being placed on the bottom, hidden from the viewer.
