Publication number: 20260078719Abstract: A rocket motor and rocket motor feed system are disclosed. The rocket motor feed system includes a sonic choke which passively regulates the mass flow rate of gaseous propellant passing through the sonic choke. An injector is provided and isolates the upstream feed line of the rocket motor feed system from a combustor. Regenerative cooling circuits are disclosed. Self-pressurised gaseous propellants may be used with the rocket motor and rocket motor feed system. Suitable propellants are disclosed. Bi-propellants may be used. The sonic choke may provide a ratio of oxidiser:fuel to a combustor. Rocket motor feed systems with separate fuel and oxidiser branches are also disclosed. A rocket motor utilising such a feed system is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: March 19, 2026Applicant: Dawn Aerospace LimitedInventors: Stefan Johannes POWELL, Tobias René KNOP, James Robert POWELL, Robert Mark WERNER, Jeroen WINK

Patent number: 9268413Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-touch display system that supports both multi-touch human input as well as input from a digital pen. The display system has a display panel that is configured to allow human touches along a front surface to be detected and tracked. The display panel also includes a location pattern that preferably covers the viewable areas of the display panel. The location pattern is configured to allow any location within the location pattern to be detected by analyzing a portion of the display pattern that is associated with the particular location. The digital pen is used to “write” on the display panel, wherein such a writing function involves detecting the location where writing occurs and controlling display content that is displayed on the display panel to reflect what is being written.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2008Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: RPX CLEARINGHOUSE LLCInventors: Bernard Doray, Paul To, Michael Haller, James Robert Powell, Peter Brandl, Jakob Leitner, Thomas Josef Seifried, Moses Tao-Ling Ma

Patent number: 8261918Abstract: A container for facilitating solid phase-liquid phase separation has all corrosive resistant materials on the liquid-contacting surfaces. A center wall of polyethylene is provided to increase the surface area available for separation. Support structure for the filter medium includes either a poly grate or a poly cuspated plastic or a combination thereof. Poly connectors and drain lines complete the structure ensuring that the container has high durability and will provide a long, corrosion-free life. A specially formulated highly lubricious material (high molecular weight polyethylene) is utilized for the poly walls to enable rapid clean out of the container.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2010Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Inventors: James Robert Powell, Corey L. Sechler, Matthew B Wilson, Dale W. Deist
