Patent number: 11255196Abstract: A cooling system for cooling a turbine blade with a cooling fluid via an internal flow passage formed in the turbine blade extending from an inlet to an outlet edge having a first passage section defining a first flow direction, a second passage section defining a second flow direction, a wall between the first and second passage section and a diverter, between the first and the second passage section. The wall in a region of the diverter forms a pier head which extends into the region of the first passage section and thereby reduces the flow cross section of the flow passage.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignees: MTU AERO ENGINES, MAN Energy Solutions SEInventors: Dieter Freno, Thorsten Pöhler, Martin Pernleitner, Paul Storm, Electra Stavropoulou, Dirk Frank

Publication number: 20180202899Abstract: A cleanliness measuring system for an engine cylinder block includes a set of fittings configured for receipt at least partially within oil passage openings of a lubrication system of the engine cylinder block. Each of the fittings includes a fluid collection passage therethrough. The cleanliness measuring system also includes a set of fluid sampling bottles configured for attachment to the fittings. In an attached configuration of the cleanliness measuring system, each of the fluid sampling bottles is attached to one of the fittings and the fittings are secured within one of the oil passage openings, a fluid is introduced into the lubrication system, the fluid and any debris carried by the fluid from within oil passages of the engine cylinder block flow into the fluid sampling bottles, and debris collected in the fluid sampling bottles is measured to determine a cleanliness level of the engine cylinder block.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2017Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventors: Stephen Johnson, Kevin Paul Storms

Patent number: 9604226Abstract: A system for suppressing and inhibiting fires in coal pulverizer mills can include a fire suppression solution storage tank, a flow control cabinet, an equipment control/pumping enclosure, an air distribution system, and injection piping and nozzles installed at various positions in one or more pulverizer mills. A first set of nozzle assemblies in communication with the fire suppression solution can be positioned in the mill to disperse the suppression solution within the classifier zone of the mill. A second set of nozzle assemblies in communication with the suppression solution can be positioned within the mill to disperse the suppression solution within the grinding zone. A third set of nozzle assemblies can be positioned within the primary air duct of the mill.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Innovative Combustion Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Richard Paul Storm

Publication number: 20070118427Abstract: In recent years, there has been an increase in both credit card/debit card fraud and online purchasing. Within the emergence of the electronic commerce marketplace, there does not exist the same protections for merchants as there exists for traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Therefore, to assist in preventing fraud, specifically online fraud, with credit/debit cards, another level of abstraction can be added to the purchase system where purchases can be identified as potentially fraudulent. The identification is through the use of correlating purchased items with account identifiers, where the purchase of certain categories of items can predict potential fraudulent procurement of credit/debit card numbers. Thus, by implementation of a simple system, the incidences of fraud can be reduced, protecting both merchants and consumers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2006Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventor: Paul Storm

Patent number: 6527555Abstract: A programmable device for the display of information, comprising, a spherical or curved element, such as a globe, which is programmable/reprogrammable for the display of geographical, political, meteorological, biological, and cultural information. A spherical or curved element having a plurality of optical lens segments is in operable communication with programmable electronic displays, for displaying and representing information on the spherical element. The programmable displays are secured to the inside faces of lens segments so that images are directed to the outside surface of the sphere.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2000Date of Patent: March 4, 2003Inventor: Paul A.
