| 20080240903 | Method of Pumping Gaseous Matter via a Supersonic Centrifugal Pump - A method of pumping gaseous matter comprises a step of providing a pump rotor, intake port, exhaust port, and gas passageway. The gas passageway operatively connects the intake port to the exhaust port. The exhaust port is radially farther from the rotor's center axis than is the intake port. The method also includes a step of providing a stator and a step of rotationally driving the pump rotor relative to the stator in a manner causing gaseous matter to enter the gas passageway of the pump rotor via the intake port, to gain energy, and to move radially away from the center axis and out of the exhaust port. The gaseous matter has a supersonic velocity relative to the stator upon exiting the exhaust port. The method can be used to evacuate or compress gaseous matter. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090022577 | Bearing Screw - Main rotor features rotor blades, mounted on the outside of a split bowl-shaped bushing; a centrifugal fan is mounted inside the bushing and fan blades rotate in direction opposite to the rotation of rotor blades. Rotor blades are encased in an external drum attached to its ends, which, in turn, is fastened to a bushing with bolts; a centrifugal fan is constructed as a disc with blades and no casing. Alternatively, rotor blades can be mounted on the outside of a split bowl-shaped bushing while the centrifugal fan is placed inside, and equipped with an external drum. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090081022 | Radially Staged Microscale Turbomolecular Pump - A radial turbomolecular vacuum pump that includes a rotor made from a silicon rotor surface comprising monolithically fabricated micro blades, and a stator made from a silicon stator surface comprising corresponding monolithically fabricated grooves. The micro blades and grooves are arranged in multiple rings, and the rotor and stator disks are placed in proximity, creating interdigitated stator and rotor blade rings. The interdigitated stator and rotor blade rings form a multi-stage compression in the radial direction. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20110097190 | Rotation Device - The invention relates to a rotation device, such as a pump or a hydromotor of the rotating type, wherein a rotation-symmetrical rotor bounds at least two rotor channels together with radial baffles. The rotor comprises two generally goblet-shaped dishes, the innermost dish of which is stiffened by a first stiffening plate which has a peripheral widening, for instance branches in its peripheral zone into at least two rings which are rigidly connected with at least two respective bent peripheral edges, substantially over the whole outer surfaces thereof, to the inner surface of the peripheral edge of the relevant dish such that the stiffness of the peripheral edge of the dish is increased. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20120107093 | Pitot Tube Pump - A pitot tube pump having a hydraulic chamber, a fluid supply line, a fluid discharge line, and a drive, in which the supply line, the discharge line and the drive are all arranged on the same side of the hydraulic chamber. A pitot tube preferably is mounted in the hydraulic chamber on a shoulder of a fixed shaft in communication with the discharge line. The drive is preferably an electric motor with a stator which is connected in a rotationally secure manner to the fixed shaft, and a rotor which forms a part of the hydraulic chamber or which is connected in a rotationally secure manner to the hydraulic chamber. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20140271127 | Gear-Driven Flow-Through Pitot Tube Pump - A centrifugal pump of the pitot type is structured with axially-arranged inlet and discharge features positioned on opposing axial sides of a rotor, the rotor being journalled between a rotating sleeve and a suction inlet, and the rotating sleeve being concentric with the discharge, the rotating sleeve being gear-driven by a drive mechanism. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20160017887 | PRESSURE REDUCING ROTOR ASSEMBLY FOR A PUMP - A rotor assembly for a centrifugal pump includes a rotor and a rotor cover, defining a fluid chamber therebetween, and having openings or channels that are provided in either the rotor cover or the rotor, or both, to direct fluid from the fluid chamber into the rotor or rotor cover of the rotor assembly to provide reduction of increased pressure that is experienced within the fluid chamber, especially at or near the center of the fluid chamber. | 01-21-2016 |
