Wading through the patent(s) brings to fore how long I've been retired. The key on both the patent you referenced and the one the Capt'n came up with is "Assignee: Capstone Turbine."

As to whether either is a direct reference to "Capstone's Patented Air Bearing Technology" I do see numerous patents on the link Gene posted that refer to "A compliant foil fluid film bearing" which is what I believe NASA and Capstone collaborated on.

See the WIKI--Key to the Capstone design is its use of foil bearings, which provides maintenance and fluid-free operation for the lifetime of the turbine and reduces the system to a single moving part. This also eliminates the need for any cooling or other secondary systems.... Also--NASA PS304 Lubricant Tested in World’s First Commercial Oil-Free Gas Turbine
