Patent number: 9988889Abstract: A tunable pneumatic fracturing system and process useable in some instances to extract oil and gas. Some embodiments provide a pneumatic fracturing tool with an elongated body that (a) contains (i) a propellant supply source intermediate opposed propellant gas discharge assemblies, (ii) a control system, and (iii) a communications port, and (b) has roller assemblies at opposed ends of the body. The tool can be tuned to provide gas pulse amplitudes and frequencies that react with the resonant frequency or other aspect of an adjacent earth formation. Some tool embodiments can variably sweep a rock formation and adjust the pressure pulse amplitude and frequency to disrupt the formation in a more productive manner. Some tools can penetrate vertical bore wells as well non-vertical bore wells. In some systems, the tool is transported and operated by a control truck and can be commanded to download operational data during or after use.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Rock Hill Propulsion, Inc.Inventors: Russell W. Carlson, John H. Snow, Dustin C. Barr

Patent number: 6359776Abstract: A capacitor is formed at a hinge between a display compartment and a microcomputer compartment to reduce EMI emissions caused by the display/microcomputer interface. A plane structure is formed along the length of the display compartment, and another plane structure is formed along the length of the microcomputer compartment. The display compartment's plane structure serves as the ground connection for the display device. It connects to the plane structure of the microcomputer compartment through a capacitative structure. The two plane structures and the capacitative structure form the return path for coupling the display device to a common, system ground. The hinge has as one circular structure concentrically surrounding and in close proximity to another circular structure. The capacitor is formed by the arc area where the two circular structures overlap concentrically, having low impedance at high frequencies (e.g., 30 MHz and above).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Russell W Carlson

Patent number: 5456425Abstract: A rocket motor assembly is provided with multiple pintle nozzles and a controller for adjusting the pintle position in the nozzles to generate a thrust differential, while maintaining the combustion pressure at equilibrium pressure by maintaining the sum of the throat areas of all of the pintle nozzles constant, for example. In this manner, proportional thrust control and very high response times are achieved. The controller also includes a pressure correction circuit that senses any difference between the actual combustion chamber pressure and the selected equilibrium pressure upon which the thrust differential was based, converts that to an error value, and sends a command signal to each pintle actuator so that each pintle position is adjusted an equal amount to compensate for the sensed pressure difference and maintain the combustion chamber pressure at the selected equilibrium pressure.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1993Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Aerojet General CorporationInventors: Joseph W. Morris, Russell W. Carlson, Kevin L. Peterson, Edward M. Reich
