20110057141POPPET VALVE FOR CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEMS - A valve for use in a cabin pressure control system includes a valve body and a poppet. The valve body includes an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid flow passage therebetween. The poppet is disposed in the valve body. The poppet is moveable between at least a closed position, in which the poppet at least substantially restricts fluid from flowing through the fluid flow passage, and an open position, in which fluid is allowed to flow through the fluid flow passage. The valve body, the poppet, or both, have a fluorocarbon coating.03-10-2011

20080202510DRAIN VALVE ASSEMBLY - An on-board oxygen generating system is provided, which includes an air supply duct, a breathing gas duct, and an oxygen generator fluidly coupled between the air supply duct and the breathing gas duct. The oxygen generator is configured to enrich the oxygen content of air flowing from the air supply duct to the breathing gas duct. A drain valve assembly is fluidly coupled to the air supply duct and configured to move between: (i) an open position wherein condensation may drain from the air supply duct, and (ii) a closed position.08-28-2008

20090078907COMPOSITE VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR AIRCRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS - A valve assembly is provided including an injection molded flow body having at least one inlet port, at least one outlet port, and a flow passage there between. The injection molded flow body is formed of a high performance engineering thermoplastic resin. A plurality of reinforcement fibers may be homogeneously suspended in the high performance engineering thermoplastic resin and provide increased strength and temperature capability for use in high temperature applications.03-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110126724Apparatus for aiding the containment and transport of various articles - A materials handling apparatus for aiding in loading and transporting various materials has three major components, a wheeled cart, a truncated conical cylinder which is carried by the cart and a compaction lid which. provide the apparatus with the capability of being operated in three different modes. In the first mode, a conventional trash bag is placed inside the cylinder and the lid can be placed atop the cylinder. In this mode, the apparatus operates as a conventional trash can. In a second mode, the cylinder in placed within a trash bag to protect it from being damaged by materials such as tree and shrub clippings or other materials which could tear the bag. In the third mode no trash bag is used, the materials are loaded into the cylinder, and when loading is complete, the cylinder is lifted off of the materials for direct deposit into a disposal site.06-02-2011

20100011976Method of Producing Low Profile Stent and Graft Combination - Large diameter self-expanding endoprosthetic devices, such as stents and stent grafts for delivery to large diameter vessels, such as the aorta, are disclosed having very small compacted delivery dimensions. Devices with deployed dimensions of 26 to 40 mm or more are disclosed that are compacted to extremely small dimensions of 5 mm or less, enabling percutaneous delivery of said devices without the need for surgical intervention. Compaction efficiencies are achieved by combining unique material combinations with new forms of restraining devices, compaction techniques, and delivery techniques. These inventive devices permit consistent percutaneous delivery of large vessel treatment devices. Additionally, small endoprosthetic devices are disclosed that can be compacted to extremely small dimensions for delivery through catheter tubes of less than 1 mm diameter.01-21-2010

20080281393Bioabsorbable Self-Expanding Endolumenal Devices - The present invention is directed to bioabsorbable self-expanding medical devices for use inside or outside body conduits that self-expand at, or below, normal human body temperature without requisite for a polymeric thermal transition.11-13-2008
20100331956ENDOLUMINAL EXPANSION SYSTEM - An endoprosthesis expansion system having, in combination, a delivery component such as a length of catheter tubing having at its distal end an intermediate sheath component, and an inner tube within the full length of the delivery catheter and intermediate sheath component. The inner tube has a protrusion affixed to its distal end, and an expandable endoprosthesis is fitted in a compacted state about the intermediate sheath, immediately proximal to the protrusion. If the endoprosthesis is a self-expanding endoprosthesis (as is preferred), an exterior constraining sheath is required around the outer surface of the endoprosthesis. Following insertion of the endoprosthesis and delivery system into a body conduit (such as a blood vessel) and transport of the endoprosthesis to the desired site within the body conduit, the endoprosthesis is deployed by axially moving the protrusion against the system, thereby applying a radially directed outward force and causing simultaneous dilatation of the intermediate sheath and disruption of the exterior constraining sheath. Disruption of the exterior constraining sheath, in the case of a self-expanding prosthesis, releases the stored energy in the formerly constrained prosthesis, allowing it to expand and accomplish full deployment against the luminal surface of the body conduit at the desired site.12-30-2010

20090188256EFFUSION COOLING FOR GAS TURBINE COMBUSTORS - A combustor for a turbine engine includes an outer liner and an inner liner circumscribed by the outer liner to form a combustion chamber therewith in which an air and fuel mixture is combusted to form streamlines of combustion gases. A first plurality of effusion cooling holes is formed in at least one of the inner or outer liners, with the first plurality of effusion cooling holes being oriented as a function of the streamlines.07-30-2009
