Patent EP-0895011-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CLARKSON CURTIS W
IPC: F16K3/02
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A packingless gate valve is disclosed which includes a
housing (11) having opposed similar housing halves (30,32) with
primary resilient sleeve units (53,54) which compressibly
engage each other in the valve open condition and engage
opposite sides of the gate in the valve closed condition. A
secondary resilient seal unit (80) is positioned above the
primary sleeve units (53,54) within the housing (11) and is
secured between the housing halves (30,32). The secondary seal
unit (80) engages the gate (14) during the opening and closing
cycles and prevents any discharge seeping between the primary
sleeves from leaking to the atmosphere around the gate (14) or
on the actuator end of the valve. An enlarged clean out area
(70) cast into the housing (11) extends circumferentially
around the primary sleeve units (53,54) in one embodiment so
as to provide containment for any discharge during an actuating
cycle. The housing (11) is further provided with flush ports
in fluid communication with the clean out area (70) to allow
controlled draining or flushing of the contained slurry. The
gate valve construction of the present invention results in no
leakage to the outside when the valve is fully open and no
leakage to the outside or past the gate (14) internally when
the valve is fully closed.

Abstract: The graphical control system of the present invention includes a
computer (20), a device interface (35) for a non-computer system
device (21) having at least one feature control (29a) (or display (29b)), a
bus network (28) connecting the computer (20) to the device
interface (35), and a visual network operating system (78) based on an
object-oriented programming paradigm. The device interface (35)
connects the non-computer system device (21) to the bus network (28) and
provides the mechanism for converting computer-generated commands
into signals for controlling the operation of the feature control (29a) of
the non-computer system device (21). The visual network operating
system (78) is a distributed operating system that is partially stored on the
computer (20) and partially stored in the device interface (35). A
computer portion causes the computer (20) to generate or create a visual
device control (40) that graphically replicates the feature control (29a)
normally associated with the non-computer system device (21). The
visual device control (40) is operated by a conventional graphical control
device, such as a mouse (32), track ball, touch screen, joystick, etc. As
the replicated controls are operated, the computer (20) sends messages to
the device interfaces (35), which cause the feature control (29a) of the
non-computer system device (21) to respond in the same way it would
have responded had the feature control been operated manually,
electrically or effected by another computer on the bus network (28).

Abstract: A premixing, tangential entry fuel injector ( 10 ) for a
gas turbine engine features a secondary fuel-air injection
insert ( 40 ) positively secured to a centerbody shell ( 38 ) by
a braze joint ( 98 ). A secondary fuel supply tube ( 42 ),
positively secured to both a centerbody base ( 36 ) and to the
insert ( 40 ), is curved in at least two dimensions. In an
exemplary embodiment, the tube is coiled into a spiral shape
covering a single 360° cycle. During engine operation, the
centerbody expands axially in response to elevated
temperatures in the engine's interior, causing the insert
( 40 ) to be displaced away from the base ( 36 ). The curvature
of the tube allows the tube ( 42 ) to flex slightly to
accommodate the displacement. Ideally the curvature of the
tube is such that the tube's natural frequency is well above
the maximum vibratory frequency that the tube will
experience during engine operation.
