  • Patent number: 12276239
    Abstract: This invention exploits the fundamental physics of turbulent mixing to improve bi-propellant chemical rocket engines. Instead of the many axial reactant injectors in conventional engines, only two transverse injectors are required to generate a pair of large, counter-rotating, streamwise vortices and to mix the reactants for the case of a circular combustion chamber. The vortex pair controls the rate of mixing and the rate of heat release, insensitive to pressure waves and relatively immune to combustion instabilities. The injector of a liquid propellant generates droplets, some of which may contact the opposite wall of the combustion chamber to aid in wall cooling. With the dramatic reduction in the number of injectors, the invention lowers engine mass and manufacturing costs while improving engine reliability.

  • Publication number: 20250119357
    Abstract: An abstract system model comprising one or more model elements corresponding to one or more infrastructure elements of a deployed system infrastructure is generated. Each model element specifies one or more selectors, and for each model element, each selector includes an indication of at least one infrastructure element that is associated with the model element. An inventory of the one or more infrastructure elements is built. For at least one model element, at least one infrastructure element of the inventory associated with the at least one model element is identified as indicated by the respective one or more selectors of the at least one model element. A bound system model comprising one or more associations between the model elements of the abstract system model and the inventory of the infrastructure elements is generated.

  • Publication number: 20250117118
    Abstract: A bound system model may be accessed, the bound system model including associations between model elements of an abstract system model that represents a deployed system infrastructure and inventory elements included in an inventory of data sources. A graphical user interface (GUI) may provide options to visually construct a metric pipeline template to be associated with the bound system model. A definition for the metric pipeline template may be determined based on user input. The metric pipeline template may comprise a plurality of nodes that process inputs to generate derived metrics. A link between a data source associated with the deployed system infrastructure and the metric pipeline template may be established based on user input. Derived metrics may be generated based on metric data obtained based on the link established between the data source and the metric pipeline template.

  • Publication number: 20250107889
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for prosthetic valves. An implantation site may comprise a native heart valve or another implantation site in examples.

  • Patent number: 12215550
    Abstract: A well tool pressure compensating system for connecting well tubing sections or well tools and providing pressure and/or thermal compensation along the entire length of the tool in a wellbore. The system can include first and second connectors each including fluid components and power and/or signal components. A tubing allows fluid to travel between the first and second connectors and along the tool. A hose traveling along and within the tool is in fluid communication with a wellbore fluid, thereby providing pressure and thermal compensation along the tool. A flexible tubing extends between the first and second connectors within the tool. The flexible tubing is in fluid communication with an area around the power and/or signal components of the first and second connectors, thereby providing pressure and/or thermal compensation around the power and/or signal components.

  • Publication number: 20250036586
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for implementing enhanced Device Control Block (DCB) scan recovery for channel recovery actions. A disclosed method comprises identifying channels to be recovered and creating a DCB bit array reflecting each DCB to be scanned for the set of the channels to be recovered by a system assist processor. The system assist processor performs asynchronous channel communication area (CCA) recovery processing, starts synchronous DCB scan recovery, and sequentially processes an incremental portion of the DCB bit array interleaved with asynchronous CCA recovery processing. The system assist processor completes asynchronous CCA recovery processing and synchronous DCB scan recovery to complete channel recovery of the set of channels. The system assist processor starts each channel of the set of channels responsive to completing channel recovery processing for each channel.
