ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,313,496, issued on May 27.
"Slide bearing characteristics controlling method and its implementation" was invented by Nikolay Ovcharenko (Berlin).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for regulating the physical properties of slide bearings during operation. The method controls the bearing modulus (Hersey number) s of a slide bearing and includes the steps of: (a) determining the temperature dependence of the dynamic viscosity of the bearing lubricant; (b) determining the mixed-film lubrication to hydrodynamic lubrication transition temperature of the bearing; (c) determining, on the basis of the temperature dependence of the dynamic vis...
