Patent number: 11976565Abstract: A vibration dampening system includes a vibration dampening element for a turbine nozzle or blade. A body opening extends through the turbine nozzle or blade, e.g., through the airfoil among potentially other parts of the nozzle or blade. A vibration dampening element includes a plurality of stacked damper pins within the body opening. The damper pins include an outer body having an inner opening, a first end surface and an opposing second end surface; and an inner body nested and movable within the inner opening of the outer body. The end surfaces frictionally engage to dampen vibration. The inner body has a first central opening including a first portion configured to engage an elongated body therein and an outer surface configured to frictionally engage a portion of the inner opening of the outer body to dampen vibration.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: GE Infrastructure Technology LLCInventors: Zachary John Snider, Brad Wilson VanTassel, Brian Denver Potter, John McConnell Delvaux

Patent number: 11919503Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for operating a vehicle that includes an electric machine as a propulsion source. In one example, a motor stall assessment level is generated based on an amount of time that the motor is stalled and an amount of torque that is generated by the motor. Mitigating actions may be performed if the motor stall assessment level exceeds a threshold level or value.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Justin Campanaro, Carol Louise Okubo, Jonathan Butcher, Zachary March, Joshua Wilson

Publication number: 20200010860Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing succinate ester from a succinic acid salt present in a fermentation broth. In the first stage of this invention, renewable carbon resources are utilized to produce succinic acid in the form of a succinic acid salt through biological fermentation. The succinic acid salt present in the fermentation broth is subjected to double displacement reaction with a strong acid leading to the release of succinic acid. Succinic acid is recovered by fractional crystallization integrated with an alcohol washing step and subjected to esterification reaction to produce succinate ester which is purified by fractional distillation. The succinate ester thus obtained is converted into 1,4-butanediol, gamma-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofuran through hydrogenation reactions. The succinate ester can also be hydrolyzed to yield highly pure succinic acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Applicant: PTT GLOBAL CHEMICAL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Thidarat Tosukhowong, Bin Wang, Manav Mistry, Rajesh Dasari, Zachary Wilson

Patent number: 10047274Abstract: Disclosed herein are inversion systems and methods of diluting w/o lattices including about 10 wt % to 80 wt % of a water soluble polymer. Using the inversion systems and methods described herein, dilution of w/o lattices is carried out in a single step to form dilute lattices having 10,000 ppm or less polymer; the dilute lattices form polymer solutions with no further addition of mixing force or water. The solution viscosities of the polymer solutions obtained using the systems and methods of the invention are at least about 80% of solution viscosity expected in the absence of shear.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Zachary Wilson Logan, William J. Andrews, Kerry C. Brinkman, Peter E. Reed, Warren T. Gillenwater, Heinrich Bode, Martin David Biggs
