Patent number: 11815343Abstract: An output device and/or an output device assembly configured to be initiated in response to different types of input. The disclosed output device may be generally configured so as to be able to receive different types of input in order to produce an output. For example, the two different types of input may be mechanical force and fluid pressure, and thus the disclosed output device may be able to receive either form of input and convert either input into the desired/predetermined output.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: AMI INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Steve Holstine, Kassidy L.

Publication number: 20220307449Abstract: A method for generating electric power for a rocket system includes burning a primary solid propellant grain to create a primary high pressure gas for providing thrust to the rocket, opening a first valve to divert a portion of the high pressure gas to an auxiliary solid propellant grain for igniting the auxiliary solid propellant grain, wherein the auxiliary solid propellant grain is disposed in a housing separate from the primary solid propellant grain, and burning the auxiliary solid propellant grain to create an auxiliary high pressure gas for turning a turbine. The method further includes driving a generator with the turbine and generating an electric power with the generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2021Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: Goodrich CorporationInventors: Matthew D.
