  • Publication number: 20230056817
    Abstract: A cryogenic system cools and operates cryogenic electronics. The cryogenic system includes a cryogenic stage or multiple cryogenic stages for cooling the cryogenic electronics to an operational cryogenic temperature. The cryogenic stage or stages transfer heat from the cryogenic electronics to an ambient environment. An optical fiber or multiple optical fibers deliver an operational power from the ambient environment to the cryogenic electronics and transfer communication data between the cryogenic electronics and the ambient environment. Preferably, the only connection delivering any power from the ambient environment to the cryogenic electronics or transferring any data from the cryogenic electronics to the ambient environment is the optical fiber or fibers, such that the cryogenic system does not include any electrically conductive wires spanning between the ambient environment and the cryogenic electronics.

  • Patent number: 10041409
    Abstract: An oil control module for a gas turbine engine is provided comprising a housing on which numerous components of a lubricating system are mounted. The components may include a variable oil reduction valve/shuttle valve, a main oil pressure sensor, a main oil temperature sensor, a main oil filter delta pressure sensor, an oil debris monitor, a lube filter, an active oil damper valve, a cool oil orifice, a knock down orifice and a lube trim orifice. By packing numerous lubricating system components onto or within a housing located adjacent to the gas turbine engine, the oil control module reduces cost and weight and simplifies the maintenance of the lubricating system.

  • Patent number: 4434783
    Abstract: Convected air from the room to be heated enters two first air spaces (10) through two front inlets (12) and circulates through passageways (13) between inner and outer casings forming the fireplace and re-enters the room through front air outlets (14). Cold fresh air from outside the room enters a second air space (14), between the two first air spaces (10), and can be fed into the room through a control vent (16) for promoting combustion within the fire and/or can be fed into the first air spaces (10) so as to supplement the convected air flowing through the passageways (11).
