| 20120070326 | COMPRESSION METHOD AND MEANS - The invention is a compression method having characteristics of smooth compression and internal cooling of the gas. Embodiments of the invention employ a cylindrical chamber and an orbiting rotor to create a moving duct or chamber whose walls converge, relative to a static gas packet drawn into the moving duct, at a “pinch point”. Preferably the closing speed of the walls is subsonic and the speed of the pinch point is supersonic. This enables high pressure to co-exist, at the narrowing end of the duct, with low pressure elsewhere in the duct, because of the pressure information barrier produced by the supersonic advance of the pinch point. The invention also discloses means for providing gas inlet and outlet functionality, and means for providing a variable flow compressor. | 03-22-2012 |

The invention also discloses means for adjusting the running clearance between the cylinder and the rotor, and means for counterbalancing the rotor. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20090312882 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED SIMULATION OF A PROPULSION SYSTEM AND TESTING OF PROPULSION CONTROL SYSTEMS - A multiple application automated test set (MAATS) system can simulate the operation of a power plant. To simulate the operation of the power plant, the MAATS system can be configured to “stand in” for the power plant by receiving the control signals from a controller and by generating electrical signals, readable by the controller, that represent the operating parameters and conditions of the power plant. | 12-17-2009 |
