  • Patent number: 11707772
    Abstract: A high flow differential cleaning system uses a source of pressurized compressed dry gas to pressurize a holding tank. A component to be cleaned is securely loaded and oriented against a blast plate designed specifically for the desired pressure, flow, and volume. A fast-actuated valve system opens to direct high volumes of pressurized gas from a holding tank through and around the component(s) held within the cleaning chamber for the removal of remnant powder and foreign particles from interior cavities as well as exterior component surfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2023
    Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Administrator of NASA

  • Patent number: 6626160
    Abstract: An engine includes air-assisted fuel injection including fuel injectors supplying fuel through cylinder head-mounted air injectors. An internal air passage in the cylinder head connects with internal air pockets receiving the injectors and supplying them with air. Seals on the air injectors prevent air leakage from the air pockets. The air temperature in the head is affected by an adjacent coolant passage.
