Publication number: 20250389125Abstract: In some implementations, a walkway cover may include a main layer, which may have a foam material. In addition, the walkway cover may include an upper layer having a foam material, the upper layer being secured to the main layer and positioned above the main layer. The upper layer may form one or more apertures between areas of the upper layer, the one or more apertures extending through the upper layer to expose one or more portions of the main layer. The walkway cover may also include an adhesive layer secured to the main layer and positioned below the main layer, the adhesive layer facilitating removable attachment of the cover to a walkway surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2024Publication date: December 25, 2025Applicant: Happy Feet Treads, LLCInventor: Scott Hunter

Patent number: 12486780Abstract: A passive clearance control limits thermal expansion between stator components relative to rotor components. A control ring controls clearance in a passive manner and is located on or adjacent to stationary components which thermally expand during engine operation. The control ring is formed of material having low coefficient of thermal expansion such as CMCs (Ceramic Matrix Composites) and therefore limits, inhibits or restrains expansion of the adjacent stator components as temperatures increase. Limiting expansion of the stator component reduces rotor/stator clearances and limits parasitic leakage of fluid along the flow path through the engine core.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2025Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Bhaskar Nanda Mondal, John Joseph Rahaim, Thomas Moniz, Steven A. Ross, Joel Kirk, Scott Hunter, Daniel Fusinato

Patent number: 11299976Abstract: According to one aspect, data identifying a component is received, wherein the component is part of a system associated with a wellhead. A location at which the component is positioned relative to one or more other components is identified. The useful remaining operational life of the component is predicted based on at least an operational parameter specific to the location, and the operational history of the component or one or more components equivalent thereto. According to another aspect, a model representing at least a portion of a proposed system associated with a wellhead is generated, the model comprising a plurality of objects, each of which has a proposed location and represents an existing component. The useful remaining operational life for each object is predicted based on an operational parameter at the corresponding proposed location, and data associated with the respective operational history of the existing component.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: SPM OIL & GAS INC.Inventor: Scott Hunter

Patent number: 10924110Abstract: A method for high speed switching comprises receiving voltage inputs at a bridge rectifier, receiving a logic input signal at an optical isolator and generating an output signal from the optical isolator based on the logic input signal, and driving a gate of a field effect transistor (FET) via the output signal of the optical isolator, wherein a source of the FET is connected to a negative output of the bridge rectifier and a drain of the FET is connected to a positive output of the bridge rectifier through a load. The method further includes limiting current flowing to the gate of the FET through first and second resistors and first and second diodes connecting the voltage inputs to the gate of the FET and limiting voltage to the gate of the FET below a maximum voltage rating of the FET by a Zener diode connected to the gate of the FET.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: QM Power, Inc.Inventors: Charles J Flynn, Cooper Tracy, Scott Hunter
