Publication number: 20240390956Abstract: A method of cleaning a cylinder head using pressurized fluid and a tooling assembly for the same includes a jet ignition insert attached to a spark plug well defined by the cylinder head. The insert defines an opening in fluid communication with the spark plug well. The insert includes an end wall attached to the insert distal end to close one end of the opening and the end wall defines holes. The tooling assembly includes a tool configured to clean the insert. A first engagement surface of the insert and a second engagement surface of the tool engage each other to form a seal that surrounds the holes of the insert such that the pressurized fluid is directed through the holes and into the opening of the insert during the first operation procedure of the tooling assembly to flush debris out of the holes of the insert.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: November 28, 2024Applicant: Fives Cinetic Corp.Inventors: Michael Effrick, JR., Jakub John, Thomas Brock, Steven Richardson

Publication number: 20180001230Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for separating phases of a liquid mixture or dispersion from each other. The system includes a settler system, which includes a coalescing-enhancing plate comprising a front face and rear face and a plurality of openings. The openings are configured to selectively manipulate the flux of portions of the mixture to thereby increase phase separation of the mixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Applicant: FREEPORT MINERALS CORPORATIONInventors: Steven Richardson, Jason M. Morgan

Publication number: 20140202398Abstract: A dog harness is comprised of a torso strap encircling a dogs chest, connected to a chest strap passing around the chest of a dog, and a shoulder strap passing over the back of a dog. The chest strap is provided with a elongate linker. A leash connector is fixed to both ends of the elongate linker. When a leash is attached to either leash connector, a directional pull on the leash causes the leash connector to slide in the direction of the pull, pulling the elongate linker to the side creating a noise detectable by the animal to assist in the training of the animal. If the leash becomes tight pulling the elongate linker all the way to the side it will move the pull off the center of the dog's chest, thus decreasing the opposition reflex.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2012Publication date: July 24, 2014Inventors: Marcus Woodward, Steven Richardson, Danny Wilson

Publication number: 20130153518Abstract: The present invention provides a mixer-settler extraction circuit for separating liquids from each other. The mixer-settler extraction circuit includes a flow distributor. The flow distributor comprises a slat assembly which directs the incoming liquid into the settling portion of the mixer-settler extraction circuit. The slats of the slat assembly may be spaced apart from each other at varying distances.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: FREEPORT-MCMORAN CORPORATIONInventors: Steven Richardson, William Cashwell, Jason M.

Publication number: 20070095970Abstract: Aircraft including an airframe having a fuselage extending between a forward end and an aft end and a fixed wing extending laterally from the fuselage. The aircraft includes a power plant mounted on the airframe producing exhaust during operation. The aircraft includes a rotor/wing rotatably mounted on the airframe including a plurality of blades and an adjustable nozzle mounted on the airframe downstream from the power plant exhaust for selectively directing the power plant exhaust to exit the aircraft at a pre-selected angle with respect to the airframe within a range of angles extending from about horizontally rearward to about vertically downward.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventor: Steven Richardson

Publication number: 20070045105Abstract: Describes a method for lowering the flow of liquid anolyte through perforations in the diaphragm of a diaphragm electrolytic cell, e.g., a chlor-alkali diaphragm electrolytic cell, comprising introducing ceramic fiber into the anolyte compartment of the electrolytic cell, e.g., during cell operation. The benefits described for lowering the flow of anolyte liquor through the diaphragm of a chlor-alkali diaphragm electrolytic cell are increasing the concentration of alkali metal hydroxide, e.g., sodium hydroxide, and decreasing the concentration of hypochlorite ion, e.g., sodium hypochlorite, in the catholyte liquor. Also describes introducing dopant material and/or fibers comprising halogen-containing polymer, e.g., fluorocarbon polymer fibers, into the anolyte compartment of the electrolytic cell in conjunction with the addition of ceramic fiber into the anolyte compartment, e.g., during cell operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Henry Schussler, Joseph Cimini, Robert Fast, Berry Garrard, Steven Richardson

Publication number: 20060054737Abstract: A rotational position-adjusting system (6) for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (4). The system (6) includes multiple detectors (60) that generate rotor signals. The rotor signals are indicative of the position of each rotor (8) of the aircraft (4). The rotors (8) provide lift to the aircraft (4). A controller (24) is coupled to the detectors (60) and adjusts the rotational speed of one or more of the rotors (8) in response to the rotor signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Applicant: THE BOEING COMPANYInventor: Steven Richardson

Publication number: 20050097225Abstract: In configuring data synchronization between two devices, the first device generates a user configuration interface to be presented on the second device. The user interface elicits information from a user regarding a personal information manager (PIM) that is installed on the second device. This information is transmitted to the first device, which downloads to the second device a synchronization application package based on the PIM. The user interface installs the synchronization application on the second device, obtains information regarding data to be synchronized, and transmits that information to the synchronization application. This information may include names and locations of folders to be synchronized and synchronization preferences such as synchronization direction and schedule. The devices may include servers, PCs, PDAs, handheld computers, and wireless phones. The server may be network-based, accessible via the Internet, a LAN, or the PSTN.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2003Publication date: May 5, 2005Inventors: Darin Glatt, Steven Richardson
