20100037459Method for Correcting Downstream Deflection in Gas Turbine Nozzles - A gas turbine nozzle can be refurbished to reduce downstream deflection. The outer shroud of the gas turbine nozzle is held in a fixture, and then the nozzle is heated. The heated nozzle is then reshaped by a force exerted upon the inner shroud of the gas turbine, reducing the downstream deflection of the nozzle. After the deformation of the nozzle, an aft hook of the nozzle that has been adjusted by previous refurbishment efforts can be rebuilt to remove the previous adjustments.02-18-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110275882VALVE FOR VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE - A ventricular-assist-device valve includes two flaps hinged to a peripheral wall by means of a couple of flexible struts. As each flap opens and closes during each cycle of operation, the struts flex and open passages for flow around them, around the flaps, and between the struts and the flaps, so as to prevent the formation of dead zones that contribute to the accumulation and deterioration of blood cells that produce clotting. The struts are tensioned so as to exert a pressure against the flow of the blood stream when the flaps are open. This tension creates a pressure differential between the underside and the peripheral regions of the flaps that forces blood flow around the hinges and washes out stagnant cells. As a result, clotting is materially reduced.11-10-2011
