Title: Mark A Heller: Innovator in Control Moment Gyroscopes
Introduction
Mark A Heller is a notable inventor based in Glendale, AZ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of control moment gyroscopes, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the functionality and efficiency of gyroscopic systems.
Latest Patents
Heller's latest patents include a "Shell rotor assembly for use in a control moment gyroscope and method of making the same." This invention features a shell rotor assembly that consists of a first shell member with a first wall portion and a first rim portion, which are formed integrally. Additionally, it includes a second shell member with a second wall portion and a second rim portion, also formed integrally. The first and second rim portions are attached to one another, creating a robust assembly for gyroscopic applications.
Another significant patent is the "Control moment gyro spin bearing lubricant delivery system and method." This invention provides a lubrication medium supply system designed to deliver lubricant to the spin bearings of a control moment gyro (CMG). The system includes a reservoir, a motor, and a valve. The motor compresses the lubrication medium within the reservoir, pressurizing it. The valve then opens in response to this pressurization, dispensing a predetermined amount of lubricant while simultaneously depressurizing the medium in the reservoir.
