Patents by Inventor Stanley R. Paduch

Stanley R. Paduch 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: 4273150
    Abstract: A temperature or pressure sensor that produces a hydraulic pressure signal proportional to temperature or pressure. The sensor or transducer utilizes a plurality of bellows acting on a valve nozzle plate so that the temperature signal which is a gas pressure moves the nozzle plate to control the flow through the nozzle as a function of temperature thus producing a metered pressure proportional to temperature. The bellows are arranged to minimize temperature error in the transducer. Where the temperature sensed is engine inlet temperature the metered pressure may be used to control the fuel through the turbine engine as a function of the engine inlet temperature. This same device is equally utilized in measuring a pressure, such as compressor discharge pressure.

  • Patent number: 4117765
    Abstract: An electrohydraulic servo system to actuate the power shaft of a fuel control system from the cockpit throttle including electrical devices responsive to the position of the throttle that actuates a hydraulic piston for moving the power shaft together with a backup system that assures a shaft position proportional to the throttle position. This permits the use of electrical lines from the cockpit to the engine rather than mechanical cables and linkages.
