Randy Nussio has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6982619
    Abstract: A solenoid stator assembly and manufacturing method for an electro-mechanically actuated fuel injector. The solenoid stator assembly comprises a permeable stator core and a stator coil. A housing formed of an electrically insulating material is located about the stator core and stator coil such that a distal end of the stator core is oriented proximate to an armature of the fuel injector. A pair of terminals extends into the housing to a pair of leads for the stator coil to energize the stator coil and generate a magnetic field for actuating the fuel injector armature. A reinforcement structure is disposed generally about the stator core within the housing to improve the robustness of the stator assembly.

  • Patent number: 6892970
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator for a fluid pressure control valve in a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The fuel injector comprises a control module including a fuel pressure control valve; an armature connected to the fuel pressure control valve; and a stator assembly including a magnetic core comprising of at least two segments and a bobbin. The stator assembly, when it is energized by a power source, produces a magnetic field to draw the armature towards the stator assembly.

  • Patent number: 6688578
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator for a fluid pressure control valve in a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The actuator comprises a valve body having an opening therein and a bore extending at least partially therethrough. A control valve having an armature attached thereto is inserted into the bore in the valve body. A magnetic core, encircled by windings, is located in the opening in the valve body. A valve spring biases the armature away from the magnetic core. The windings, when energized, produce a magnetic circuit that includes the valve body, magnetic core, armature, and retainer ring to attract the armature towards the magnetic core.
