Patent number: 10215193Abstract: Features for a valve assembly are described. The features can include a pair of spaced walls having apertures defining non-linear exit flow paths for the fluid, such as air, exiting the valve. In some embodiments, the features are described for a bleed valve assembly, to reduce the decibels produced when used in high pressure contexts, such as aircraft engines. The noise suppression features are integrated with the valve assembly. A valve, such as a stem and valve head, can move within the assembly between open and closed positions. The valve assembly can be manufactured using additive layer manufacturing (ALM) to create a monolithic housing that in some embodiments has the noise suppression features built into the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Meggitt Aerospace Ltd.Inventors: Matthew Scovell, David Skolnik, Keith Jackson, Scott Lathrope

Patent number: 8446699Abstract: This invention relates to a residual current device which is able to safely and reliably operate when a line voltage is present (voltage dependent mode) and when the line voltage is not present or falls below a predetermined threshold level (voltage independent mode). The present invention is implemented as a residual current device having a trip mechanism for isolating an electric supply to an electrical installation upon detection of a predetermined current imbalance between the line and neutral conductors of said electric supply. The present invention comprises a current transformer having a secondary winding responsive to any current imbalance on said electrical installation, and a circuit protection winding being connectable to a processing means.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2007Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Eaton Industries Manufacturing GmbHInventor: Jonathan Keith Jackson

Patent number: 8340829Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus of detecting and compensating for DC residual fault currents on electrical systems. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus which is capable of accurately detecting one or more parameters of the fault current waveform and generating a compensation factor which compensates for specific pulsed DC fault components present. In this way, trip sensitivity is optimized for all types of fault current waveforms. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention operates by detecting one or more parameters of the encoded fault current waveform and generating a measure of symmetry comparing the mean squared values of negative and positive sections of said encoded fault current waveform. In use, various bands of the ratio of the mean squared sum of the positive and negative sections of said encoded fault current waveform are obtained, and a compensation factor is determined from a look-up table stored in a processing means.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Eaton Industries Manufacturing GmbHInventor: Jonathan Keith Jackson
