  • Patent number: 9347402
    Abstract: An intake body, systems, and method for reducing acoustic resonance in pressure tap passages include determining and/or setting the length of the drilling tap passages to a value such that the natural frequency of each pressure tap passage is outside of or does not substantially overlap with operational frequency content of an air stream in the intake body. The intake body, systems and method reduce the possibility of exciting the natural acoustic frequencies of the pressure tap passages, and can lead to improved signal-to-noise ratio when detecting EGR flow using a delta-P measurement system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2016
    Assignee: CUMMINS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC.
    Inventors: Gregory L. Emerick, David J. Moenssen, Brian R. Alderfer, Joshua R. Miller, Gregory H. Henderson, Lisa A. Orth-Farrell, Robert E. Dehner

  • Patent number: 7520189
    Abstract: An inspection system is provided for inspecting a generator including a rotor and a stator substantially surrounding the rotor. The rotor has a first end with a first circumference, and a second end with a second circumference. The inspection system includes first and second retaining rings disposed at or about the first and second ends of the rotor, and first and second motion control modules movably coupled to the first and second retaining rings. The first and second motion control modules are interconnected and guide a carriage assembly therebetween in order to perform an operation on the generator. At least one of the first and second motion control modules is structured to receive the carriage assembly and to move around the corresponding first or second circumference of the generator rotor, in order to align the carriage assembly with stator slots of the stator of the generator.
