20120058693 | Device for Pedal Powering a Watercraft - The present invention is a device affording foot-powered propulsion of a watercraft by an occupant. The device consists of two levers, each with a shaft, serving as a fulcrum. When mounted on a host craft the force arms extend above the deck or floor of the vessel and each has a pedal attached to their end. The resistance arms extend beneath the hull of the craft and each has a folding paddle attached. The levers are linked so that pushing one pedal away from the operator forces the other pedal towards the operator. A back-and-forth pedaling motion moves the folding paddle blades, propelling the vessel. Direction of propulsion can be reversed by rotating the paddles 180 degrees. The invention is intended to be mounted to a watercraft, such as, a kayak that has been specifically designed for or altered to accept the device. | 03-08-2012 |

20120017598 | METALLIC CERAMIC SPOOL FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A method and apparatus are disclosed for a gas turbine spool design combining metallic and ceramic components in a way that controls clearances between critical components over a range of engine operating temperatures and pressures. In a first embodiment, a ceramic turbine rotor rotates just inside a ceramic shroud and separated by a small clearance gap. The ceramic rotor is connected to a metallic volute. In order to accommodate the differential rates of thermal expansion between the ceramic rotor and metallic volute, an active clearance control system is used to maintain the desired axial clearance between ceramic rotor and the ceramic shroud over the range of engine operating temperatures. In a second embodiment, a ceramic turbine rotor rotates just inside a ceramic shroud which is part of a single piece ceramic volute/shroud assembly. As temperature increases, the ceramic volute expands at approximately the same rate as ceramic shroud and tends to increase the axial clearance gap between the ceramic rotor and ceramic shroud, but only by a small amount compared to a metallic volute attached to the shroud in the same way | 01-26-2012 |
20140026585 | CERAMIC-TO-METAL TURBINE VOLUTE ATTACHMENT FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A means of attachment applicable to mating parts which have substantially different coefficients of thermal expansion is disclosed. The means of attachment substantially reduces the friction between the mating surfaces while still keeping the mating parts centered with respect to one another. The approach is based on radial recessed faces wherein the radial faces slide relative to each other. There may be three or more recessed/raised faces on each mating component, which when mated, maintain the alignment between the mating parts while allowing differential growth of the mating parts. This approach also the provides a much larger bearing surface for the attachment than a radial pin/slot approach, for example, and substantially eliminates areas of high stress concentration. It is thus a more robust design for components that undergo many thousands of thermal cycles. | 01-30-2014 |

20090259682 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGNING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS - A method for generating specification requirements for an Information Technology development project has been developed. First, a framework is created for decomposing and categorizing organizational information into data elements that include project design requirements. These data elements are then stored in a data repository. A relationship is defined between the data elements and corresponding project information provided by the end-user. These defined relationships are also stored in the data repository. Next, a guided facilitation process is used to elicit objective information from the end-user regarding objectives for new technology. Also, specification information is collected from the end-user based upon the objective information. The requirements for the project are determined from the end-user based upon the specification information. This continues until informational needs pertinent to the various types and categories of requirements have been specified. Then the data elements in the data repository are mapped with the corresponding informational needs. Finally, a standards requirement document for the project is generated using the mapped data elements from the data repository. | 10-15-2009 |
