InactiveUS6357490B1Simple designEasy to usePackaging by pressurising/gasifyingSolid materialEngineeringMechanical engineering
Method and apparatus for providing a precisely controlled amount of dry material to a container. A powder slug is formed, preferably under vacuum, in a dosing hole formed in a dosing plate. The powder slug represents a precisely metered amount of material to be deposited into the container. The dosing plate is translated to a position such that the powder slug is above, and may be expelled into, a container located in a dosing wheel that has been moved into proper position for container filling to occur. In another embodiment, a system is provided for automated container filling.

Lowerable baggage compartment for a passenger cabin
InactiveUS6484969B2Raised and loweredManual operationAir-treatment apparatus arrangementsFuselagesCouplingEngineering
A baggage storage system especially for an aircraft passenger cabin includes a lowerable baggage compartment, a guide arrangement along which the motion of the baggage compartment is guided between an upper closed position and a lower open position, a powered drive unit, and a coupling arrangement that selectively couples or decouples the drive unit relative to the baggage compartment. With the drive unit coupled to the baggage compartment, a full powered raising and lowering of the baggage compartment is achieved. If the drive unit fails, it is decoupled from the baggage compartment, so that the baggage compartment can be manually raised and lowered. A locking latch arrangement securely latches the baggage compartment in the upper closed position.

Evaluation Method of Solar Energy Utilization Potential in Urban High-density Areas Based on Low-altitude Photogrammetry
ActiveUS20190197311A1Avoids high time-consumingAvoid low efficiencyPhotovoltaic supportsGeometric CADPoint cloudHigh density
The present invention proposes an evaluation method of solar energy utilization potential in urban high-density areas based on low-altitude photogrammetry, comprising the following steps: low-altitude data acquisition using drones, acquisition of three-dimensional point cloud data, screening of building subject points, selection of seed region, region growth and point cloud patch segmentation, three-dimensional reconstruction, building geometry model, solar radiation simulation and solar energy utilization potential assessment steps. The invention utilizes low-altitude photogrammetry to obtain point cloud data in a high-density area of the city, and performs semantic division and three-dimensional reconstruction on the point cloud data through a parameterization tool to obtain a singular geometric model. Therefore, the solar radiation and dynamic change obtained from the roof and facade of the building are simulated and analyzed in the same platform.

InactiveUS20080110941A1Manual operationClosuresLiquid flow controllersReciprocating motionValve actuator
A cap closure that dispenses liquid from a liquid container has a cylindrical base that is removably mounted on the liquid container. A valve spout is mounted on the base for linear reciprocating movement. A valve actuator is mounted on the base for rotation. The spout is movable between closed and opened positions where in the opened position liquid can be dispensed through the spout and in the closed position the liquid is blocked from passing through the spout. The actuator is operatively connected to the spout whereby rotation of the actuator between first and second positions relative to the cap base moves the spout between the respective closed and opened positions of the spout on the base.
