Patent number: 11084556Abstract: A flexible coupling mechanism may be used to suspend a structural component, such as a propulsion pod, from a support member, such as a strut of a hydrofoil watercraft. The flexible coupling mechanism may include multiple vibration isolating mounts configured to extend through the support member to suspend the structural component. The vibration isolating mounts may include a plurality of elastomeric bushings configured to prevent direct contact between a component rigidly coupled to the support member and a component rigidly coupled to the structural component. The elastomeric bushings may include a tapered outer profile configured to provide a nonlinear force feedback profile in response to rotation of the support member relative to the structural component.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: KAI CONCEPTS, LLCInventors: Donald Lewis Montague, Joseph Andrew Brock, Tomasz Pawel Bartczak, Matthew Campbell Greaves, Alec Korver, Jamieson Edward Schulte, Dmitri Stepanov

Patent number: 10215338Abstract: A system for discharging hydrogen from two or more hydrogen storage vessels (1A, 1B, 1C) containing solid hydrogen storage material. The system includes at least one hydrogen supply line for connecting the hydrogen storage vessels to a hydrogen demand (3), and energy delivery system (6A, 6B, 6C) to provide heat to the hydrogen storage material in each hydrogen storage vessel to desorb hydrogen from the solid hydrogen storage material, and one or more supply connection conduits (4A, 4B, 4C) for connecting the supply line of lines to the hydrogen storage vessels (1A, 1B, 1C). Each supply connection conduit has a backflow prevention device (5A, 5B, 5C) to prevent hydrogen in the supply line from flowing back into the hydrogen storage vessels (1A, 1B, 1C). Also disclosed is a system for delivering a supply of hydrogen to a hydrogen supply line including a control system (7) to determine the timing of activation of an energy delivery system based (6A, 6B, 6C) on the hydrogen demand in the hydrogen supply line.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: HYDREXIA PTY LTD.Inventors: Jordan Christopher Pierce, Matthew Campbell Greaves, Stephanie Maya Moroz, Andrew Charles Duguid, Alexander Warner Knight

Publication number: 20120312701Abstract: A hydrogen vessel comprising a fluid communication port, an outer vessel and an inner compartment. The inner vessel contains a hydrogen storage material, such as a metal hydride. In one embodiment the inner vessel is mechanically isolated from the outer vessel. The separation between the outer and inner vessel provides a peripheral volume between each vessel. The peripheral volume about the inner compartment may be fluidly isolated from the inner compartment. The hydrogen storage unit further includes a fluid pressure device in communication with the peripheral volume; and a controller for controlling the fluid pressure device during desorption and absorption.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: Hydrexia Pty LtdInventors: Matthew Campbell Greaves, Benjamin David Guymer, Jordan Christopher Pierce

Publication number: 20120065713Abstract: A portable handheld thermo-electric device (10) is used to test for decreased cold pain thresholds or increased sensitivity to cold stimulation (cold hyperalgesia) in a patient. The thermo-electric device (10) comprises a probe (18), a Peltier module (12) and a control unit (16) operable to energize the Peltier module (12) so that the temperature of the probe 18 is variable in a range between a predetermined upper temperature limit and a predetermined lower temperature limit during a test cycle of the thermo-electric device (10). A thermal mass (14) is adapted for thermal contact with an interface side (34) of the Peltier module (12). The Peltier module (12) has thermal properties which enables it to be cooled to a temperature below the predetermined upper temperature limit and thereafter maintain the interface side (34) of the Peltier module (12) at a temperature below the predetermined upper temperature limit for the duration of the test cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2010Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: The University of QueenslandInventors: Matthew Campbell Greaves, Michele Sterling

Patent number: 7521834Abstract: A poly-phase electromagnetic device having n winding phases (n>2) wherein each phase is made from a single conductor strand wound in a lap form configuration. The windings are configured such that on assembly to a slotted magnetically conducive base a maximum of n?1 end turns overlapping is achieved so that the slot packing density can be optimized. The preferred configurations also enable neat and compact terminations which facilitates efficient packaging of the completed device. The windings are made either from discrete bobbins which are electrically interconnected upon assembly to the base, or alternatively from strings of continuously formed sub-windings. The latter process in particular enables full or partial automation of the winding and/or assembly process.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2003Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Inventors: Dean James Patterson, Byron John Kennedy, Steven Peter Camilleri, Benjamin David Guymer, Matthew Campbell Greaves

The device comprises a chamber (11) having an inlet (14) which is fluidly communicable with an orifice formed in a mammalian body. An irrigation member (12) is provided for introducing irrigating fluid into the orifice. A suctioning device (13) connectable to the chamber to create a region of reduced pressure within the chamber. An irrigation and evacuation control means for the device is provided for receiving signals generated by at least one sensor, the signals being representative of at least the performance of the irrigation member and of the suctioning device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2006Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: Steven John Marshall, Matthew Campbell Greaves, Rodney Gordon Parkin, Peter Davekumar Stephens
