US Patent:

7757815, Jul 20, 2010

Filed:

Nov 18, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/283094

Inventors:

Terry Allen Craig - Greenup KY, US

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

F16N 39/00

US Classification:

184 621, 184 612, 184 26, 210232, 210767, 123196 R, 73863

Abstract:

A method for sampling lubricant from a lubrication system including a pump for pumping lubricant between a reservoir and a sump. The method includes removing a filter from the pump, replacing the filter with a sampling device having a fluid passage, channeling lubricant returned from the sump to the pump into the fluid passage, and discharging lubricant from the pump by discharging lubricant from the fluid passage.

Inventors:

Terry A. Craig - Greenup KY, US

International Classification:

G01M 15/14

US Classification:

7311201

Abstract:

A method for measuring blade tip clearance for a gas turbine engine having a fan case assembly and a rotor having a plurality of blades may include the steps of removably attaching a measurement tool to the fan case assembly, the measurement tool having a sensor, rotating the rotor, and measuring blade tip clearance for the plurality of blades during the rotation of the rotor.

Filed:

Dec 30, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/982310

Inventors:

Terry Allen Craig - South Shore KY, US
Jimmie Melvin Clark - Wheelersburgh OH, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/00
G01C 9/00
G01B 11/14

US Classification:

702154, 702159

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for measuring runout of using a distance measuring sensor mounted to a rotor and targeted at a circular wall, an electronic inclinometer mounted within a diameter of a hub of the rotor, and a microcontroller in data communication with the inclinometer and the sensor. A computer may be operably connected to the microcontroller and used for programming the microcontroller. A rotatable fixture including a bar mounted to the hub may be used to mount the sensor to a distal end of the bar and the microcontroller and the inclinometer may be mounted on the bar. Runout of a fan shroud circumscribing fan blades of an engine rotor may be measured with the apparatus and method and the bar angularly located between a pair of adjacent blades. The computer may be used to gather data from inclinometer and sensor and calculate runout.

US Patent:

61760390, Jan 23, 2001

Filed:

Nov 22, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/444446

Inventors:

Terry A. Craig - Goshen OH

International Classification:

E05F 1502

US Classification:

49 26

Abstract:

An object sensor system is mounted on a garage door controlled by an electric garage door opener. The sensor system senses objects directly in the travel path of the door's leading edge. Each object sensor of the system comprises a mounting plate for permanent attachment to the garage door near a leading edge of the door, an upper hinge plate hingeably connected to the mounting plate, a lower hinge plate hingeably connected to the mounting plate and a connecting hinge plate connected to the upper and lower hinge plates. The plates are connected to move in concert. Each of the object sensors also includes a bracket having a first leg attached to the connecting hinge plate and a second leg extending horizontally towards the mounting plate and under the leading edge of the door. An electronic sensor is mounted on the bracket's second leg at a distal end to transmit or receive a light beam. An anti-friction slide pad is attached to an underside of the second leg of the bracket to allow the bracket with its sensor to move inwardly as the door's leading edge approaches ground surface.
