Inventor: CONNERS TIMOTHY RAYMOND
IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 2001-09-27
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: A method for determining corrected gas flow values from measured physical gas flow values is provided. A laser-based sensor system (30) is deployed in a duct (26) through which the gas moves. The sensor system (30) includes two or more pairs of photoemitters/photodetectors (42,44,50,52) that emit and detect light beams. Spectral changes in the light beams associated with the laser sensor system (30) caused by the properties of the gas passing through the duct (26) are referenced to known gas physical properties, including density. That information as well as the velocity of the gas and the temperature in the duct (26) are analyzed and manipulated in a programmed processing unit (38). The processing unit (38) is programmed to calculate a corrected gas flow value from the information obtained directly and indirectly from the detected light beams. The system and the method for obtaining the corrected flow value are suitable for use in the determination of corrected airflow through a duct (26), including a duct (26) of an aircraft engine (10).

Title: Cryogenic pump manifold with subcooler and heat exchanger
Inventor: HEILMAN PAUL W
IPC: F04B15/08
Filed: 2000-07-28
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: A cryogenic pump manifold (10) comprises an inlet head (28) with a subcooler (56) disposed around it and a heat exchanger (30) on the inlet side of the inlet header and subcooler. An expansion device (70) is disposed between the inlet header and subcooler, and some liquid is diverted from the header and evaporated thereby lowering the temperature of the expanded gas which provides significant cooling to the cryogenic liquid entering the suction of the pump. An ejector (88) may be positioned in the exhaust line from the heat exchanger (30) to increase the flow rate, resulting in even more cooling. The cooling improves the overall performance of the pump and increases the ambient temperature range of operation of the pump (14).

Abstract: Reversible electrochemical mirror (REM) devices typically comprise a conductive oxide mirror electrode (106) that is substantially transparent to  radiation of some wavelengths, a counter electrode (110) that may also be substantially transparent, and an electrolyte (112) that contains ions of an electrodepositable metal. A volta ge applied between the two electrodes causes electrodeposition of a mirror deposit on the mirro r electrode and dissolution of the mirror deposit on the counter electrode, and these processes are reversed when the polarity of the applied voltage is changed. Such REM devices provid e precise control over the reflection and transmission of radiation and can be used for a variety of applications, including smart windows and automatically adjusting automotive mirrors. According to the present invention, measurements of the sheet resistance of the mirror electrode in a REM device are correlated with the thickness of electrodeposited mirror metal an d can be used to monitor the reflectance of the device. Sheet resistance measurements can be performed while the mirror state of the device is being switched if adequate isolation betwe en the measurement and switching circuits is provided. This can be accomplished by use of external resistors or more sophisticated circuitry, or by taking advantage of the relatively high sheet resistance of the mirror electrode itself. Monitoring the reflectance of REM devices according to this invention provides significant cost and performance advantages.
