  • Stator valve assembly for a rotary machine
    Patent number: 4827713
    Abstract: A compressor bleed valve assembly 28 having an axially translatable valve ring 66 for a gas turbine engine 10 is disclosed. Various construction details which increase the sealing effectiveness of a valve ring 66 are developed. In one embodiment, the valve ring is adapted to engage a slot 56 as the valve ring is moved between the open to the closed position, the slot being contoured to provide a mechanical advantage as the valve ring moves to the closed position against resilient sealing members 58, 60 which axially engage the valve ring.

  • Uniform intensity led driver circuit
    Patent number: 4717868
    Abstract: A unique driver circuit for providing constant average current through a driven element or elements having varying impedance first samples the impedance at the drive terminal in order to determine impedance of the driven elements. For increasing impedance of the driven elements, the duty cycle of the driving signal is increased, thereby resulting in a near-constant average current through the driven elements when the number of driven elements in series is changed.
