Title: Crescent oil pump with axially movable crescent body
Inventor: PALAZZOLO JOSEPH
IPC: F04C2/10
Filed: 2002-11-15
Abstract: A crescent oil pump comprise a toothed gear 54 rotates about a first axis 58 and engages with an internally toothed gear 84 which rotates about a second axis 88 offset radially to the first axis 58. The offset axes 58, 88 cause the gears 54, 84 to separate leaving a crescent shaped opening which accepts a movable crescent shaped body 120 that in a first position seals tips of the teeth on the gears 58, 88 while in a second position the crescent body 120 does not form a seal. An actuator (136, fig 2), eg hydraulic cylinder, stepper motor etc., moves the crescent body 120 under the control of a traction control microprocessor having inputs from various sensors. When torque control is required the crescent body 120 is moved to its first position which creates a seal, thereby producing oil pressure that, as a consequence, torque is developed. The pump has low parasitic loss and rapid transient response.

Title: Apparatus for maintaining a system at a cryogenic temperature over an extended period of time without active refrigeration
Inventor: ATKINS ANDREW FARQUHAR
IPC: F17C13/00
Filed: 2005-08-03
Abstract: A cryogenic thermal battery arrangement for maintaining a superconducting magnet coil (12) or similar apparatus at a cryogenic temperature for a required shipping period, such as thirty days, without consuming a significant amount of a costly working cryogen, comprises using a second cryogen from a second cryogen tank (22) positioned preferably around a former (10) mounting the superconducting coils (12). The superconducting magnet coil (12) is housed in a cryogen vessel (14) having an outer vacuum chamber (16) and a thermal shield (18). The system is transported filled with the working cryogen eg liquid helium. A service neck (20) provides an escape path for the working cryogen as it boils off to leave the vessel (14) and vent to atmosphere. The second cryogen provided in the tank (22) is usually nitrogen and is preferably solid at the temperature of operation of the system. During transport however, the working cryogen may boil dry. Once the system has heated up to a certain, still cryogenic temperature, the second cryogen will change phase and begin to melt, drawing latent heat of fusion from its surroundings, thereby cooling the system. After a further period of time has elapsed and once the second cryogen has fully melted, the second cryogen will change phase again and this time begin boiling, thereby drawing latent heat of evaporation from the surroundings and continuing the cooling of the system. The tank containing the second cryogen may be at least partly filled with finned structures, a thermally conducting mesh or open-celled filler of thermally conductive material.
