Vehicle passenger seat

A passenger seat including a seat base for being mounted on a support surface. A seat frame is carried by the seat base, and includes a seat bottom frame member and a seat back frame member is positioned in a fixed angular relation to each other and the seat base. A seat bottom pan is positioned on the seat bottom frame member. A seat back pan is positioned on the seat back frame member. Guide means cooperate with the bottom pan and bottom frame members and the back pan and back frame members, respectively, for unison translational movement of the back pan and the bottom pan between an upright position when the bottom pan is in the aft position and a recline position when the bottom pan is in the forward position.

Linear pick and place drive with adjustable stroke ranges

InactiveUS6098478ASmall overall size and envelopeLess powerProgramme-controlled manipulatorGearingSingle plateEngineering
A linear pick-and-place drive mechanism for relocating articles with finite adjustable maximum translation stroke range and finite adjustable lift stroke range, using selective placement of a translation cam follower into one of several spaced adjustment holes along the length of a translation arm, and selective placement of a lift cam follower into one of several spaced adjustment holes along the length of a lift arm. Pivoting motion of both the translation arm and the lift arm is driven by a single plate-type drive cam having a translation cam track on one side thereof and a lift cam track on the opposite side thereof, resulting in minimal housing size and reduced power requirements.

Water walls for life support

A method and associated system for processing waste gases, liquids and solids, produced by human activity, to separate (i) liquids suitable for processing to produce potable water, (ii) solids and liquids suitable for construction of walls suitable for enclosing a habitat volume and for radiation shielding, and (iii) other fluids and solids that are not suitable for processing. A forward osmosis process and a reverse osmosis process are sequentially combined to reduce fouling and to permit accumulation of different processable substances. The invention may be used for long term life support of human activity.

Multi-piece vehicle wheel assembly

A multi-piece vehicle wheel assembly includes a wheel center and a lightweight wheel rim. The wheel center defines a center hole and has an outer margin. The wheel rim has opposing inside and outside major surfaces. The outside major surface defines a rim bed for mounting a vehicle tire. The inside major surface includes an inwardly-extending annular shoulder. A plurality of circumferentially spaced rim bosses are formed with the annular shoulder of the rim, and are adapted for engaging the outer margin of the wheel center. A corresponding plurality of circumferentially spaced fastener holes are formed along the outer margin the wheel center, and are adapted for aligning with the rim bosses formed with the rim. A plurality of fasteners are received through the aligned rim bosses and fastener holes to attach the rim and the wheel center together.

Thermal Array

Traditional thermocyclers are heating devices that change sample temperatures by adding heat energy into a sample block that is usually a large metal block and then extracting that heat energy out of the block in a process called ramping the temperature. Presented herein is a technology that eliminates the large mass sample block and ramping temperatures in a sample block and thus in a sample vessel. This design called a Thermal Array requires a fraction of the energy used to process a sample. In addition, the array allows a much smaller thermal cycler to be designed leading to portability of a device. This technology is designed to allow optimal polymerase chain reactions to be executed.

Turbulence reduction around magnus rotors

A fluid energy conversion system using a Magnus Rotor to generate force and electrical power from passing fluid such as wind. A Magnus Rotor is mounted atop support structure which is far enough away from the surface of the Rotor to minimize fluid turbulence around the peripheral surfaces of the Rotor. The Rotor is mounted on a long horizontal shaft supported by a divided pole on either end. This divided pole is mounted on a pivot so the Magnus Rotor will be faced to the oncoming fluid by a weathervane. Minimizing fluid turbulence can result in greater power production.

Low profile tethering device for securing a boat

ActiveUS20110146557A1Eliminates the tripping hazard of cleatsRemove massWaterborne vesselsShipping equipmentLocking mechanismTethering
A tethering device for a boat may be mounted to a dock so that the top surface of the tethering device is flush with the top of the dock. Inside the housing is a retraction reel storing a sufficient length of line to provide tethering of the boat to the dock while retracting excess line back for out-of-sight storage but leaving the pre-selected length of line extending from the tethering device. The housing also has a line locking mechanism to hold the line at the pre-selected length so as to prevent the boat from drifting away taking line with it.
