| 20080264323 | Submersible Vehicle - A submersible vehicle having an outer hull which defines a hull axis and appears substantially annular when viewed along the hull axis, the interior of the annulus defining a duct which is open at both ends so that when the vehicle is submerged in a liquid, the liquid floods the duct. The vehicle further comprising means for rolling the vehicle about the hull axis. A buoyancy control system may be provided, and the outer hull may be swept with respect to the hull axis. Various methods of deploying and using the vehicle are described. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100044496 | ANNULAR AIRBORNE VEHICLE - An airborne vehicle having a wing-body which defines a wing-body axis and appears substantially annular when viewed along the wing-body axis, the interior of the annulus defining a duct which is open at both ends. A propulsion system is provided comprising one or more pairs of propulsion devices, each pair comprising a first propulsion device mounted to the wing-body and positioned on a first side of a plane including the wing-body axis, and a second propulsion device mounted to the wing-body and positioned on a second side of the plane including the wing-body axis. A direction of thrust of the first propulsion device can be adjusted independently of the direction of thrust of the second propulsion device and/or a magnitude of thrust of the first propulsion device can be adjusted independently of the magnitude of thrust of the second propulsion device. In certain embodiments the wing-body appears swept forward when viewed from a first viewing angle, and swept backward when viewed from a second viewing position at right angles to the first viewing angle. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090151517 | Bolted Assembly and Apparatus and Method for Tensioning the Bolted Assembly - A system and method of tensioning a bolt across a flange assembly. A tensioning apparatus includes the bolt and an unthreaded nut connected to the shank member by an interference fit. The interference fit may be selectively relaxed by applying a fluid pressure to a groove between the nut and the bolt. A tensioner is energized by a pressure to pre-load the bolt by pulling on the bolt while pushing on the nut while the interference fit is sufficiently relaxed to allow relative movement between the nut and the bolt. The tensioner is sized to achieve the required pre-load in the bolt at the same working fluid pressure that is necessary to relax the interference fit on the stretched bolt, thus permitting a single pressure source to be used for both functions. Once the pre-load is established, the interference fit is reestablished by releasing pressure to the nut to secure the nut in position for maintaining the closure force across the flange assembly after the tensioner is removed. Because the nut does not need to rotate, the pre-load may be applied directly through the nut without the use of a bridge, thereby eliminating the need for overstressing of the bolt to accommodate seating of the nut once the tensioner is relaxed. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20090260206 | TURBINE VANE AIRFOIL RECONFIGURATION METHOD - A system and method for reconfiguring an airfoil of a turbine vane segment. In at least one embodiment, the system may be used to straighten an airfoil of a turbine vane segment to remove lean, twist, or racking, or any combination thereof. The airfoil may be straightened by applying a load to an inner shroud in a direction that is generally tangential to an outer shroud of the turbine vane segment. Orifices may be cut into the airfoil suction side, inboard of the outer shroud, to facilitate the straightening process. The orifices may be sealed upon completion of the process. | 10-22-2009 |

| 20090000102 | Turbine vane restoration system - A system and method for reconfiguring a turbine vane. In at least one embodiment, the system may be used to straighten an airfoil of a turbine vane segment to remove lean, twist, or racking, or any combination thereof. The airfoil may be straightened by fixing portions of the forward and aft hooks of the inner and outer shrouds of the turbine vane, restricting other portions of the forward and aft hooks of the inner and outer shrouds of the turbine vane to only move rotationally about a centerline of the inner or outer shrouds, and applying a load to various portions of the inner and outer shrouds and the airfoil to return the turbine vane to be within predetermined specifications. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20100281956 | VISCOMETER AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - A viscometer adapted to determine a temperature at which a liquid test sample has a predetermined viscosity. A method of operating a viscometer comprising the steps of: drying the air contained in the capillary tube; advancing the liquid test sample from the sample reservoir to the capillary tube; changing the temperature of the liquid test sample to a first sub-zero degrees Celsius temperature, and determining a first viscosity of the liquid test sample at the first sub-zero degrees Celsius temperature. Use of a capillary tube for determining a temperature at which a liquid test sample has a predetermined viscosity. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20110114713 | Sustainable Packaging System for Shipping Liquid or Viscous Products - The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a packaging assembly for holding liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The packaging assembly includes a carton having side and bottom walls and an open top. A self-supporting plastic liner fits inside of the carton, and is for containing liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The liner has a side wall, a closed bottom end, and an open top end having an outwardly-projecting rim. The rim has a radially-extending flange portion, and a dependent skirt portion. When the self-supporting plastic liner is inside of the carton, the dependent skirt portion of the rim hangs over the side walls of the carton. A lidding material is removeably affixed to the rim of the plastic liner. A carton lid closes off the open top of the carton. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20110114199 | ACTUATOR MOUNTING ASSEMBLY - A mounting bracket for locating an actuator in a predetermined position relative to a valve at least partially controlled by the actuator. The mounting bracket includes a body element and three or more arms attached to the body element. Each arm extends between an inner end attached to the body element and an outer end distal to the body element, the outer ends of said at least three arms being positioned to define a plane on which the actuator is locatable, to maintain the actuator in the predetermined position. | 05-19-2011 |
