Patent number: 11156213Abstract: A hydraulic system comprises a fluid tank and a pump, including a pump reservoir, fluidly coupled to the tank via a supply line. A valve is in fluidic communication with the pump reservoir via a pressure line. A backflow line fluidly couples the pump reservoir to the fluid tank via a timer reservoir and an orifice included in the timer reservoir. The hydraulic system transitions between a normal state and a purge state. In the normal state in which the pump is on, a first portion of the fluid is communicated from the pump reservoir to the valve and a second portion of the fluid is communicated from the pump reservoir to the tank. In the purge state, the pressure line and valve are purged followed by the backflow line and the pump reservoir such that no fluid remains in the pump reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Cummins Emission Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Richard D. Young

Patent number: 9287870Abstract: Embodiments of a drain modulator that uses high power switch sensing to control active pulldown are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a logic and sense module is arranged to receive a control signal for controlling an on and an off state of an input of a switch to turn a high power voltage at an output of the switch on and off. A pullup module and a pulldown module are coupled to the input of the switch. An active pulldown module coupled to the output of the switch. The logic and sense module monitors the input to the switch and activates the active pulldown module to drain the output of the switch to a zero voltage when the input of the switch transitions to the off state.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Mark T.

Patent number: 8154402Abstract: A wireless temperature sensor network includes a base station unit which transmits query signals cyclically addressing a plurality of temperature sensor transponder units. The transponder units are passive and derive operating power from the query signal to encode measured temperature data into a reply signal which is received by the base station. In a dual carrier embodiment, the query signal and reply signals are transmitted on separate frequencies. In a backscattering embodiment, the antennas of the transponder units can be switched between an absorption mode in which the query signal is received and a reflection mode in which the query signal is reflected back to the base station. The transponder antennas are switched in such a manner as to encode temperature data in the reflected signal to form a reply signal. The network embodiments are particularly applicable to space based platforms.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Reza Tayrani, Richard D.

Patent number: 8026863Abstract: A distributed control system for an active array antenna system is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the array system employs many transmit/receive (T/R) modules each with an associated radiator element, a phase shifter element and a set of RF switch elements to set the module to transmit or receive modes. The array system is arranged to generate a transmit or receive array beam. The distributed control system in an exemplary embodiment includes an array processor for controlling the array, the processor configured to generate command signals to set the T/R module elements to transmit or receive mode and to steer the array beam to a desired direction. The command signals to steer the array beam include phase slopes common to all T/R modules in a given array or subarray.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Richard D.
