Patent number: 10385702Abstract: A turbomachinery rotor blade is provided having an aerofoil body, and a hole penetrating the aerofoil body from a suction surface to a pressure surface thereof. The hole is suitable to receive a lacing wire. The blade further has a protrusion from the suction or pressure surface. The protrusion extends in a downstream direction from a downstream side of the hole and/or extends in an upstream direction from an upstream side of the hole, thereby disturbing the suction or pressure surface to locally thicken the aerofoil body adjacent the hole. The maximum radial extent of the protrusion in the radially outward direction of the blade is radially coterminous with the outboard side of the hole, and the maximum radial extent of the protrusion in the radially inward direction of the blade is radially coterminous with the inboard side of the hole.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: NAPIER TURBOCHARGERS LTDInventor: Neil Ryan Thomas

Patent number: 9845643Abstract: A cable arrangement for feeding power and signals to downhole equipment, such as an electrically submersible pump (6), within an oil or gas well, comprising an upper suspension element (15), a lower connector (22), a docking station (11?) for the downhole equipment coupled to said connector (22), and a cable (8a), comprising lines for power and signal. The cable extends between, and is coupled to, the upper suspension element (15) and the lower connector (22). The docking station (11?) is adapted for attachment to the inner surface of a production tubing (5), that a narrow gap is formed between the production tubing (5) and the downhole equipment (6). The cable (8) is shaped to fit inside the gap by having a first dimension in the radial direction of the gap, which is smaller than the gap and a second dimension in the tangential direction of the gap, which is substantially larger than the first dimension.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Aker Solutions ASInventors: David Brown, Lars Bay, Kim W.

Patent number: 9074477Abstract: A connector for connecting an impeller to a shaft is provided. The connector is formed as a unitary body. The connector has a sleeve portion which is frictionally connected on a radially outer surface of a shaft-side hub extension of the impeller. The connector further has a threaded portion carrying a thread which screws onto a corresponding threaded portion of the shaft, such that the connector provides a rotationally fixed connection between the impeller and the shaft. The hub extension has a central recess, and a part of the connector is inserted into the recess. The frictional connection between the sleeve portion and the radially outer surface of the hub extension transmits, in use, substantially all of the torque between the shaft and the impeller.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: NAPIER TURBOCHARGERS LIMITEDInventors: Ian Pinkney, Osarobo Famous Okhuahesogie, Paul Eifion Roach, Neil Ryan Thomas, Ian Patrick Clare Brown, Peter Kay, Stephen Wilson, David Leslie Smith, Robert Neil George, Paul Leslie Jacklin, Geoff Kinpoy Ngao, Kevin John Musson, Matthew Elijah Moore, Jamie Clare, Thomas Jarlath Murray, Stuart Michael Potter, Christopher John Monaghan, Alan Martin Taylor, Francis Joseph Geoffrey Heyes, Trevor Knighton

Publication number: 20150044047Abstract: A connector for connecting an impeller to a shaft is provided. The impeller has a shaft-side hub extension with a central recess. The impeller is formed of a material having a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the material of the shaft. The connector is inserted into the recess to frictionally connect an outwardly facing surface of the connector with a radially inner surface of the hub extension. The connector has a threaded portion carrying a thread which screws onto a corresponding threaded portion of the shaft, such that the connector provides a rotationally fixed connection between the impeller and the shaft. The connector is formed of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion which is greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material of the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2012Publication date: February 12, 2015Applicant: NAPIER TURBOCHARGERS LIMITEDInventors: Ian Pinkney, Osarobo Famous Okhuahesogie, Paul Eifion Roach, Neil Ryan Thomas, Ian Patrick Clare Brown, Peter Kay, Stephen Wilson, David Leslie Smith, Robert Neil George, Paul Leslie Jacklin, Geoff Kinpoy Ngao, Kevin John Musson, Matthew Elijah Moore, Jamie Clare, Thomas Jarlath Murray, Stuart Michael Potter, Christopher John Monaghan, Alan Martin Taylor, Francis Joseph Geoffrey Heyes, Trevor Knighton

Patent number: 7436864Abstract: A method relating to the calibration of tuneable lasers is described. The method provides for the provision of correct control currents so as to achieve each of desired output frequencies from the laser. The correct currents are determined by forming a matrix of the output characteristics of the laser at specific tuning currents and processing that matrix to determine stable operating points within the matrix.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Intune Technologies LimitedInventors: Thomas Farrell, Neil Ryan, John Levins, Tommy Mullane

Publication number: 20060109879Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for compensating variations in tuning efficiency and power of a multi-section tunable laser diode. The invention comprises a means to obtain a set of values for a specific section of the laser diode and a means to normalise the values to compensate the non-linearities in the set of values, hence compensating for variations in the tuning efficiency for that particular section of the laser diode. The invention is advantageous in that it is generic and can be applied to several different types of lasers. A further advantage of the invention is that the mode width can be determined as well as the mode modulation of the tunable laser.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2003Publication date: May 25, 2006Inventors: Thomas Farrell, Neil Ryan, John Levins
