Patent number: 11560298Abstract: Engine installation systems and related methods. An engine installation system includes an adapter cradle and a transport dolly. The adapter cradle is configured to support the engine, and the transport dolly is configured to be selectively and operatively coupled to the adapter cradle to support the adapter cradle to facilitate transporting the adapter cradle and the engine across a ground surface. The adapter cradle is configured to be selectively coupled to each of the transport dolly and the vehicle. The adapter cradle is configured to pivot relative to the transport dolly or relative to the vehicle to transition between a transport configuration and an upright configuration. In examples, methods of installing an engine within an engine bay of a vehicle include positioning the engine beneath the engine bay, pivoting the engine relative to the vehicle, and lifting the engine into the engine bay.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Matthew James Frizzell, Joseph Edward Flach, Richard Kurt Wagner, Larry Paul Boyer

Publication number: 20220413843Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an application store metadata corresponding to a plurality of sub-applications, combining model-driven application and canvas-type applications. Lifecycle components of the plurality of sub-applications are coupled to each other using one or more data relationships defined by an embedding model and the stored metadata. The metadata points to a library associated with the plurality of sub-applications, and wherein the library comprises a newest version of one or more of the lifecycle components. The compiled plurality of sub-applications can then be run.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Bhavin Ashokkumar AGARWAL, Gabriel Lionel Paul BOYER, Sushil KUMAR, Dipanjan GHOSH, Yasser Elsayed Mohamed SHAABAN, Prabhat Kumar PANDEY, Syed Adnan AHMED

Patent number: 7560117Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly processive reverse transcriptase having DNA polymerase activity and substantially reduced protease activity. More specifically, the invention relates to an isolated reverse transcriptase from foamy virus comprising a substantially inactivated protease. The invention also relates to vectors containing the gene and hosts transformed with the vector of the invention. Further, the invention relates to a method for producing reverse transcriptase having DNA polymerase activity and substantially reduced protease activity by expressing the reverse transcriptase genes of the present invention in a recombinant host. Methods are also provided for producing cDNA from polynucleotides using the highly processive reverse transcriptase of the invention. Kits for the preparation of cDNA from RNA comprising the highly processive reverse transcriptase of the invention are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2002Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research CenterInventors: Stephen Hughes, Paul Boyer, Maxine Linial, Carolyn Stenbak, Patrick Clark

Publication number: 20030002922Abstract: A burner assembly for heating a screed plate of a screed assembly connected to a frame of a paving machine. The screed assembly includes a heating chamber adjacent to the screed plate. The burner assembly includes a blower that moves air into the heating chamber, and a fuel injection system including a fuel valve. The fuel injection system introduces fuel to the heating chamber. The burner assembly further includes an igniter that ignites the fuel to produce a flame, a thermocouple positioned within an expected flame path, and a controller. The thermocouple generates a thermocouple voltage having a relationship to a temperature surrounding a junction of the thermocouple, and the controller operates the fuel valve based in part on the thermocouple voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2001Publication date: January 2, 2003Applicant: Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment CorporationInventors: Paul A.
