Patent number: 11959502Abstract: A system includes a pressure exchanger (PX) configured to receive a first fluid via a first inlet and a second fluid via a second inlet. The PX is to exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid and provide the first fluid at a first outlet and the second fluid at a second outlet. The system further includes a first sensor to provide first sensor data associated with the first fluid prior to the first fluid entering the first inlet and a second sensor to provide second sensor data associated with the second fluid prior to the second fluid entering the second inlet. The system further includes a controller to receive user input and cause a first adjustment of the flowrate of the first fluid into the first inlet and cause a second adjustment of the flowrate of the second fluid into the second inlet.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Energy Recovery, IncInventors: James Elliott McLean, Jr., Patrick Morphew, Joseph Michael Marchetti, Chengyu Zhang, Kyaw Thu

Patent number: 11913696Abstract: A fluid handling system includes a pressure exchanger (PX) configured to receive a first fluid at a first pressure and a second fluid at a second pressure and exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid. The system further includes a condenser configured to provide corresponding thermal energy from the first fluid to a corresponding environment. The system further includes a receiver to receive the first fluid output by the PX. The receiver forms a chamber to separate the first fluid into a first gas and a first liquid. The system further includes a first booster to increase pressure of a portion of the first gas to form the second fluid at the second pressure and provide the second fluid at the second pressure to the PX.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Energy Recovery, Inc.Inventors: Azam Mihir Thatte, Behzad Zamanian Yazdi, David Deloyd Anderson, James Elliott McLean, Jr., Joseph Michael Marchetti, Omprakash Samudrala, Neelesh Sarawate, Kuo-Chiang Chen, Farshad Ghasripoor

Publication number: 20180054142Abstract: A blender appliances includes a control mechanism to stop the blade from spinning within two seconds without the difficulty and expense of adding a brake. The subject blender detects the load reported from a motor load sensor and compares it to a predetermined threshold load. The motor operates at any of the user selected speeds if the motor is operating above the threshold load and operates at or less than a predefined first speed limit if the motor load is less than the threshold load.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2017Publication date: February 22, 2018Inventors: Brian P Williams, Joseph Elliott

Publication number: 20140167391Abstract: A lockout device for a trailer hitch coupler includes a bottom member and a ratchet body. The bottom member includes a body, a coupler blocking member extending from the body in a vertical direction for engagement with a trailer hitch coupler, and an extension extending from the body in the vertical direction. The ratchet body includes a housing defining a vertical bore sized to receive the extension, a locking mechanism disposed within the housing, and a lock interface assembled with the housing. The locking mechanism is configured to lockingly engage a recess in the extension when the extension is received in the bore. The lock interface is configured to move the locking mechanism from a locked condition to an unlocked condition to disengage the extension recess thereby permitting movement of the ratchet body in a direction away from the bottom member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: MASTER LOCK COMPANY LLCInventors: Joseph Elliott, Thomas Walczak
