20120306206 | ULTRA HIGH PRESSURE TURBOMACHINE FOR WASTE HEAT RECOVERY - A turbine-driven alternator (i.e., a turbomachine) suitable for generating electrical power from process gas waste energy. In particular suitable for very high density process gases such as super critical CO2, R134a, R245fa, etc. The turboalternator comprises two separate machines, specifically, a turbine device and an alternator device operatively connected together by a coupling shaft. The rotating shaft assemblies for each machines on the turbine side and the alternator side are supported by hydrodynamic foil gas bearings. The foil gas bearings use process gas at the turbine side, enabling high-pressure operation (˜3000 psia) and thrust load balancing. At the alternator side, cooling fluid is used in the foil gas bearings, enabling high-speed (˜40,000 rpm), low-windage, oil-free operation with closed-loop shaft cooling. | 12-06-2012 |

20080254735 | Air flow control device with very tight close off - An air flow control device consisting of air foil designed vanes for accurate modulation of the air into and out of a space. This damper includes end seals in which the ends of the air foil control vanes are located. Upon closure of the vanes the end seals prevent the air from bypassing the vanes and a very tight close off is realized. | 10-16-2008 |
20100178863 | Air flow control damper with linear performance characteristics comprising an air foil control blade and inner annular orifice - An air flow control damper consisting of either a tubular or rectangular casing, an internal annular orifice and within the orifice a rotatable circular or rectangular blade with an air foil profile. The blade may be either single or multi-part. The air flow control blade is designed to rotate on a shaft from an open position to a closed position modulating the air flowing through the casing. This damper exhibits a very low pressure drop—important for energy conservation—and a linear hystersis free performance curve—important when maintaining pressures in critical spaces. | 07-15-2010 |

20090133369 | DUST MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A HARVESTER - A dust management device for a harvester, including ducting in secure engagement with the harvester and adapted to receive air, airborne harvest dust and other materials discharged from the harvester. The dust management device further includes a diffuser-separation chamber, in secure engagement with the harvester, in engagement with the ducting, and adapted to receive air, airborne harvest dust and other materials from the ducting. The diffuser-separation chamber redirects air and airborne harvest dust back into the harvester and discharges other material from the harvester. | 05-28-2009 |

20090027268 | Multi Beam Photonic Beamformer - A true time delay beamformer for RF/microwave phased array antenna systems using multiple laser sources, optical modulators to convert the electrical signal to a modulated optical signal, standard optical fiber for creating time delays, dispersive optical fiber for creating delays, optical splitting and/or switching section, photodetectors to convert the modulated optical signal to an electrical signal, and a signal combining section. The true time delay beamformer has the capability to create multiple simultaneous RF/microwave antenna beams. One (more lasers) is used to source one (or more) wavelengths of light to the optical modulator. The signal from one (or more) antenna elements drive the optical modulator. The light from the optical modulator passes through the standard optical fibers and/or the dispersive optical fibers to create time delay variation for one optical modulator relative to another allowing for the formation of RF/microwave beams. Fixed location RF/microwave beams can be generated by a static network of standard and/or dispersive optical delay fibers. Steering of the location of the RF/microwave beams can be accomplished by an optical switching mechanism which could be based on MEMs and/or wavelength routing based switching. Finally, all the signals for a RF/microwave beam are summed to form a single output. The summing can occur either optically before the photodetectors and/or electrically after the photodetectors. | 01-29-2009 |

20110255276 | LIGHTING ASSEMBLY - A light assembly including a multi-faceted, LED light array. The LED light array consists of a light support, which is provided with a center strip segment, a first outer inclined segment, and a second outer inclined segment. Each of these three segments supports a strip, or row of LEDs. The LEDs are arranged in a linear row so that the light from each of the rows are in the same horizontal plane. Power wires are connected to each strip at one or more ends of the assembly to supply electrical power to the LEDs for illumination. The two outer strip segments are each arranged to be angled toward the center strip segment. Together the three segments create an LED Lamp Array. | 10-20-2011 |
