  • Microbial Contamination Control in Bioprocessing
    Publication number: 20220259544
    Abstract: Biomanufacturing hygiene control in batch and fed-batch bioreactors is provided using a bioreactor employing a chlorite/Cld system, wherein the bioreactor comprises an engineered cultured cell expressing a recombinant cytoplasmic chlorite dismutase (cCld) sufficient to increase chlorite resistance of the cell, and chlorite sufficient to substantially inhibit growth of one or more contaminating microorganisms in the bioreactor yet not substantially inhibit growth of the cell.

  • First stage dual-alloy turbine wheel
    Patent number: 8262817
    Abstract: A first-stage turbine that is adapted for receiving high energy air directly from a combustion chamber in a gas turbine engine auxiliary power unit includes a disk formed from a first alloy and having an outer surface, and a unitary blade wheel formed from a second alloy that is different than the first alloy. The unitary blade wheel includes an annular member having an inner surface that is joined to the disk, and blades that are integrally formed with the annular member.

  • Auxiliary power unit having a rotary fuel slinger
    Patent number: 7036321
    Abstract: An auxiliary power unit (APU) includes a rotary fuel slinger, and a single-spool, two-stage turbine. The rotary fuel slinger receives a rotational drive force from the turbine, and a supply of fuel from a fuel source. The rotary fuel slinger injects the fuel into a combustor as a continuous “fuel sheet.” As a result, fuel mixing and atomization inside the combustor is improved, which reduces emissions and pattern factor, which in turn increases turbine life.
