20100083864 | Pneutrain pneumatic mass transportation system - This invention is a pneumatic mass transportation system on the cutting edge of technology employing a combined cycle turbine power system with digital controls to effect acceleration, deceleration and train propulsion. The combustion turbines can be adapted to use alternative fuels including bio fuels as they are developed. The heat recover steam generator will recycle the hot exhaust gasses from the turbines to generate electricity to be used by the system. The multi-car train is propelled by differential air pressure forward and aft of the vehicle in the pneumatic tube. Air propulsion is achieved by large in-tube impellers driven by the turbines. A digital control system will operate the pitch of the impeller blades and the vacuum/pressure release valves in the tubes to produce full movement control of the trains. | 04-08-2010 |

20100025079 | ELECTRICAL BONDING DEVICE FOR TELESCOPING FLUID LINE ASSEMBLY - The present application is directed to a fluid line assembly comprising a first fluid conveying conduit, a second fluid conveying conduit, and a slip joint. The slip joint includes a first fluid conveying conduit section, a second fluid conveying conduit section positioned radially outwardly from and at least partially surrounding the first conduit section, and an electrical bonding device positioned between and contacting the first and second fluid conveying conduit sections to form an electrical path therebetween. The electrical resistance between the first and second fluid conveying conduits is generally constant during relative movement therebetween. | 02-04-2010 |
20100156096 | BALL AND SOCKET COUPLING - A ball and socket coupling is provided. The ball and socket coupling includes a ball body having a passage extending therethrough and a ball portion, and a socket body having a conduit extending therethrough and a ball receiving portion configured to receive the ball portion of the ball body. The ball and socket coupling also includes retaining structure disposed in the passage of the ball body and the conduit of the socket body, where the retaining structure is configured to operatively couple the ball body and the socket body together for permitting relative motion therebetween.

20110036781 | FILTER ASSEMBLY FOR FUEL SUPPLY TO ACTUATORS AND FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM OF AIRCRAFT ENGINE AND METHOD - A filter assembly for a fuel delivery system for actuators and fuel control system of an aircraft engine includes a wash flow filter. Fuel flow velocity is increased through the filter through use of a recirculating passage that is effectively achieved through use of an ejector pump. A portion of the pressurized fuel delivered by the main fuel pump is diverted and serves as a motive fluid that scavenges unfiltered flow from downstream of the filter and recirculates or discharges the recirculated flow to an inlet of the filter. This provides increased velocity to maintain sufficient washing of the filter openings. | 02-17-2011 |
20110140415 | COUPLING CLAMPING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A clamping system and method for use in a fluid coupling assembly may include redundant locking features for connecting adjacent ends of fluid conduits such as aircraft fuel lines. The exemplary clamping system may make use of two draw latch mechanisms that each separately apply a spring loaded clamping force to a flex band assembly through corresponding draw springs which oppose one another. Thus, either latch mechanism may provide a draw latch function by providing a clamping force to the flex band assembly, which in turn holds the end flanges of the fluid conduits together, thereby providing a sealing connection to facilitate the transfer of a fluid there between. Using two opposed draw latch mechanisms provides for redundant clamping forces such that the failure of one of the mechanisms does not result in an inadvertent disconnection of the fluid conduits one from the other. | 06-16-2011 |
20110148098 | COMPLIANT CONDUIT CONNECTOR - A compliant conduit connector system for the sealed joining of two fluid conduits having two or more slip bearings to maintain mechanical connection between the two fluid conduits and a sealing o-ring to maintain a fluid seal between the two fluid conduits is disclosed. A socket having an inner surface including a sealing surface is formed on an end of a first fluid conduit. A plurality of slip bearings are held in position on the outer surface of a second fluid conduit by respective bearing channels attached to an outer surface of the second fluid conduit where the slip bearings are in mechanical contact with an inner surface of the socket formed in the first fluid conduit. A seal, such as an o-ring, is contained and supported in a seal channel attached to the outer surface of the second conduit where the o-ring makes sealing contact with a sealing surface defined as part of the inner surface of the of the first fluid conduit. The axial positioning of the two slip bearings on the second fluid conduit prevent the o-ring from contacting any portion of the inner surface that might have been loaded and worn by the slip bearings when subjected to operational extremes. To assure electrical conductivity between the first and second fluid conduits, an electrically conductor assembly is contained in the retainer ring is contained in a retention groove formed in the socket where the conductor assembly contacts both the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit. The design of the exemplary compliant conduit connector prevents sliding induced wear on the sealing surface of the socket of the first fluid conduit which reduces leakage past the seal while allowing for relative motion between the first and second fluid conduits. | 06-23-2011 |
