Thermocouple With Out-Of-Line Aspiration Holes
US Patent:
RE35674, Dec 2, 1997
Filed:
Dec 22, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/361574
Inventors:
Robert A. Pustell - Andover MA
Assignee:
Amespace, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H01L 3502
US Classification:
136231
Abstract:
The response time of a thermocouple is improved by offsetting the outlet aspiration opening or openings in the thermocouple protective housing from the gas flow axis and the inlet opening. The outlet aspiration opening is located substantially at the gas separation point which is a point of minimum gas pressure. The degree of offset is thus chosen to maximize the pressure differential,. DELTA. P, between the inlet and the outlet openings. This increases the gas flow rate through the housing and past the thermocouple junction thereby substantially improving the thermocouple response time.
Thermocouple With Out-Of-Line Aspiration Holes
US Patent:

Anti-Vibration Support For Thermocouple Tip
US Patent:
4499330, Feb 12, 1985
Filed:
Dec 23, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/564668
Inventors:
Robert A. Pustell - Andover MA
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H01L 3502
US Classification:
136230
Abstract:
An anti-vibration support for the unsupported tip of a thermocouple probe consists of a resilient, compressible, multi-sided sleeve. The sleeve is positioned between the outer surface of the probe and the inner wall of the protective housing. The sides of the resilient sleeve are deformed on insertion between the probe and the wall forcing the edges formed by the intersection of the sides of sleeve firmly into contact with the wall. This multi-point or multi-line contact between the sleeve and the wall firmly secures the tip end of the probe against vibration.
Ignition Device
US Patent:
4215620, Aug 5, 1980
Filed:
Nov 9, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/849736
Inventors:
Douglas P. Tassie - St. George VT
Robert A. Pustell - Andover MA
Robert A. Pustell - Andover MA
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Burlington VT
International Classification:
F42B 3310
US Classification:
86 1R
Abstract:
An igniter assembly for use in liquid propellant guns comprises an outer tubular conductor and an inner conductor spaced apart by a volume of tightly packed, irregular granules of an insulating material, such as a mineral powder. The outer conductor is supported in a longitudinal bore of a gun bolt.
