Patent number: 9847144Abstract: A nuclear fuel assembly having a bottom nozzle with protrusions that extend from the upstream (lower or fluid entry) and downstream (upper or fluid exit) side of a horizontally supported perforated flow plate. The protrusions have a funnel-like shape that gradually decreases the lateral flow area on the upstream side of the perforated flow plate and gradually increases the lateral flow area on the downstream side of the perforated plate. The protrusions on the downstream side are preferably recessed to accommodate the ends of the fuel rods.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Company LLCInventors: Kirkland D. Broach, Michael L. Lewis, Mark W. Peterson, David S. Huegel, Peyton M. Frick

Patent number: 8555662Abstract: Adaptive intelligent circulation control methods and systems are used to help increase the comfort and/or reduce energy usage and equipment wear. In one illustrative embodiment, the circulation and/or ventilation time is adjusted based on one or more environmental conditions inside or outside the building structure. In another illustrative embodiment, the circulation and/or ventilation time may be adjusted based on the current time of day, current time of year, and/or the current schedule period. In another illustrative embodiment, the circulation and/or ventilation time is randomized over time. The start time, end time, and/or length of a circulation and/or ventilation cycle may be randomly set.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Mark W. Peterson, Robert J. Schnell, Brent D. Vick

Patent number: 7584899Abstract: An HVAC controller with a simplified and/or lower cost user interface. In one illustrative embodiment, the HVAC controller includes two switches, a movable member, and a plurality of detents. The detents are configured to cause the two switches to be switched in a sequence when the movable member is moved. In some cases, a controller is coupled to the two switches, and may change an HVAC control parameter based on the switch sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Jurianus de Pauw, Joseph E. Oberdorf, Antonius A. M. Smets, Mark W. Peterson

Patent number: 6169937Abstract: A control unit such as a thermostat has a subbase which mounts on the surface holding the control unit and has electrical terminals for connecting to an operating unit. A controller is designed to mechanically attach and electrically interface to the subbase. The subbase has a memory unit which can record a number of different digital values. Each of these digital values corresponds to an operating unit requiring a different configuration of control algorithms. The controller receives the value recorded in the subbase memory unit and configures its control algorithms according to the value provided from the memory unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1998Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Mark W.
