Latest Patents

Mammen’s patent, “Systems, Methods, and Devices for Facilitating Removal of Hydraulic Cylinders from Brake Systems,” describes a method for rotating a hydraulic cylinder to assist with its removal. The method involves inserting a tool at least partially into the cylinder’s plunger aperture. The tool’s outer perimeter engages the aperture’s inner surface, while another portion can connect to a torque device. Applying torque rotates the cylinder. The disclosed approach may be used with a hydraulic cylinder in a wind turbine yaw brake system.

Career Highlights

Mammen’s patent focuses on a practical maintenance challenge: facilitating the removal of hydraulic cylinders from brake systems. Its tool-based method is designed to engage the plunger aperture and transmit torque to the cylinder.
