Patent number: 12054944Abstract: A curtain wall system includes a vertical member and a horizontal member coupled to the vertical member at a joint. A vertical bridge gasket is coupled to the vertical member and includes a vertically-extending interior gasket, a vertically-extending thermal break gasket, and a vertical bridge member extending between the vertically-extending interior and thermal break gaskets. A horizontal bridge gasket is coupled to the horizontal member and joined to the vertical bridge gasket at a corner joint, the horizontal bridge gasket includes a horizontally-extending interior gasket, a horizontally-extending thermal break gasket, and a horizontal bridge member extending between the horizontally-extending interior and thermal break gaskets. The vertical and horizontal bridge gaskets cover the joint between the vertical and horizontal members.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Arconic Technologies LLCInventors: Jeffrey S. Dolby, Matthew M. Miller, Gregory B. McKenna

Patent number: 11454045Abstract: A handle operably coupled to rotating door handle assembly is disclosed. The handle may include a first rotatable member configured to engage a door latch mechanism. The handle may further include a second member mechanically engaged with the first member and the second member may be extended a length between a non-extended position and an extended position. A handle cavity may be defined within at least a portion of the second member and a bar may be enclosed within the handle cavity. Furthermore, an extension mechanism may be incorporated with the bar and the second member and configured to extend the bar from the cavity when the second member is in the extended position and retract the bar within the cavity when the second member is in the non-extended position.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Arconic CorporationInventor: Matthew M. Miller

Patent number: 10814369Abstract: An apparatus, method and manufacture utilizes additive manufacturing techniques to produce architectural manufactures such as windows and doors. The manufactures may have a composite construction and may feature inclusions like metal plates and reinforcements. The model used for controlling the manufacturing process may be derived from digital scanning of the structure on which the manufacture is used. Optionally, a finite element analysis is used to test the model and alter it in response to stress and/or thermal requirements.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: ARCONIC TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: William J. Hooper, Joshua Tuminella, Ion-Horatiu Barbulescu, Matthew M. Miller, Kyle A. McDaniel

Patent number: 10718143Abstract: A sliding door assembly includes a door panel, a frame that supports the door panel and includes a bottom member with a lower profile and a top member with an upper profile, wherein the lower profile and the upper profile are parallel to one another. A lower sliding assembly is operatively coupled to a bottom of the door panel and engages the lower profile, and an upper sliding assembly is operatively coupled to a top of the door panel and engages the upper profile. A gasket interposes the door panel and a portion of the frame when the door panel is in a sealed position. The door panel is movable between the sealed position, where the gasket creates a sealed interface between the door panel and the frame, and a sliding position, where the door panel is moved laterally relative to the frame while remaining substantially perpendicular to a floor.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Arconic Technologies LLCInventors: Josh Tuminella, William J. Hooper, Ion-Horatiu Barbulescu, Matthew M. Miller

Patent number: 10718267Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure address problems associated with non-uniform flow of cooling air by providing a turbine engine including a cooling air chamber in fluid communication with a cooling air source, a turbine chamber, and multiple conduits fluidly connecting the cooling air chamber and the turbine chamber. The system is configured such that, when cooling air is flowing from a cooling air source the static pressure within the cooling fluid chamber is substantially uniform and such that the mass flow rates of cooling air through the conduits and into the turbine chamber are substantially uniform.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Rolls-Royce CorporationInventors: Matthew M. Miller, Renée M. Wiley
