Patent number: 11555612Abstract: A dual fuel burner system includes a fuel burner housing and a main fuel supply conduit within the fuel burner housing. A main fuel nozzle is positioned proximate to a downstream end of the fuel burner housing and is in fluid communication with the main fuel supply conduit. The main fuel supply conduit is configured to provide 100% of the heat input requirement of the dual fuel burner system. A secondary fuel supply conduit is within the fuel burner housing. The secondary fuel supply conduit is configured to provide 100% of the heat input requirement of the dual fuel burner system. An air circuit is in fluid communication with an outlet of the main fuel nozzle. A direct spark ignitor is positioned proximate to the outlet of the main fuel nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Babcock Power Services, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Black, Patrick Roll, Michael Grames, Max Goodwin, Justin Biccum, Raymond Legault, Bruce Soares, Darrell Dorman

Patent number: 10824451Abstract: Simulation of execution of a processing workload by a target hardware device is provided by providing workload data specifying the processing workload, passing the workload data to both a primary partial simulation and a complementary partial simulation that run in parallel and acquire input data from different levels of abstraction of the target hardware and then simulating execution of the processing workload using a primary partial simulation to generate primary partial result state data and using the complementary partial simulation to generate complementary partial result state data. The target hardware device may be a graphics processing unit and the workload data may specify the processing to be performed in a hardware independent form, such as, for example, OpenGL ES. The host system supporting the simulation may include a graphics processing unit serving to provide the complementary partial simulation due to its own execution of the workload data.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2015Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: ARM LIMITEDInventors: Robert James Catherall, Anthony Neil Berent, Rhys David Copeland, Mark Edgeworth, Jonathan Stephen Black

Patent number: 10422526Abstract: A wall-fired burner includes a fuel tip defining a fuel direction axis and a fuel tip pivot axis perpendicular thereto. A first air tip is adjacent to the fuel tip. The first air tip defines a first air direction axis and a first air tip pivot axis perpendicular thereto. A second air tip is adjacent to the fuel tip, opposite from the first air tip across the fuel tip. The second air tip defines a second air direction axis and a second air tip pivot axis perpendicular thereto. A mechanism operatively connects the fuel tip, the first air tip and the second air tip for at least one of independent and/or joint movement of the fuel tip, the first air tip and the second air tip.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Babcock Power Services, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Black, Kulbhushan Joshi, Max Goodwin, Raymond Legault

Publication number: 20050186420Abstract: A stationery form is provided with adhesive regions that do not adhere to each other until the adhesive has been activated. The adhesive is heat activated without melting by passage through a laser printer prior to folding the printed form about at least one crease line to secure the form in a folded position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2005Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventor: Stephen Black

Publication number: 20050082354Abstract: A tamper-evident stationery form for transmitting confidential information to a user comprises a single a single sheet of paper of rectangular shape foldable about first and second fold lines to position a first panel between two outer panels in a folded condition of the form. The panels are provided with adhesive regions for securing marginal edge regions of adjacent panels to each other in the folded condition, and the first panel and one of the two outer panels are provided with adhesive regions inboard of the marginal edge regions which form a pocket within the form in the folded condition. The first panel has a flap that is concealed by the other of the two outer panels in the folded condition and the panels are provided with perforate regions for removing the marginal edge regions to open the form without opening the pocket. The flap is at least partially separable from the first panel to reveal a printable area within the pocket on which confidential information may be provided when the form is opened.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2004Publication date: April 21, 2005Inventor: Stephen Black

Patent number: 6540131Abstract: A stationery form including a single sheet of printable material that has a self-seal contact adhesive applied to edge regions arranged to contact each other when the form is folded about a crease line. Contacting edge regions are releasably adhered when a first pressure is applied to seal temporarily the form in a folded condition such that the form can be opened and re-sealed. The contacting edge regions are non-releasably adhered when a second pressure higher than the first pressure is applied to seal permanently the form in the folded condition. Low pressure sealing may be achieved manually, for example by finger pressure. High pressure sealing may be provided with a pressure sealing machine. A permanently sealed form can be opened by tearing along lines of weakness inboard of the adhesive to remove the bonded regions.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: Mastermailer Stationery LimitedInventor: Stephen Black
