5 results about "Bi stable" patented technology

A wearable accessory device is disclosed. The wearable accessory device includes a flexible display coupled to a bi-stable spring. Coupling the display to the bi-stable spring allows the accessory device to be easily worn in a number of convenient locations.

A pet accessory device comprising: a bistable spring having a first equilibrium position and a second equilibrium position, where the bistable spring is in an extended state and in a coiled state at the first equilibrium position; and a hairbrush coupled to the bistable spring, where the hairbrush is positioned to brush hair when the bistable spring is in an extended state and when the bistable spring is in a coiled state.

The invention relates to a braking system (1, 1', 1'') for an aircraft, comprising an electrically actuated device (2, 2', 2E, 2I) having a bi-stable operating mode and a progressive operating mode, and at least one control device (OCF n 1, OCF n2) capable of generating a park command (Co / f), which activates the bi-stable operating mode of the electrically actuated device (2, 2', 2E, 2I), and a progressive braking command (Cp1, Cp1', Cp2, Cp2'), characterised in that the system comprises at least one inhibition system configured to inhibit an operation of the electrically actuated device (2, 2', 2E, 2I) according to at least one operating state of a normal braking system, the at least one progressive braking command (Cp1, Cp2) being configured to activate the progressive operating mode of the electrically actuated device (2, 2', 2E, 2I) according to the at least one inhibition system.

Methods and systems for fabricating and operating a bi-stable solenoid actuator are described. The system may include permanent magnets that are arranged in a circle. The permanent magnets may provide sufficient force to maintain a differential in a locked state when electric power is not applied to a coil that operates as an electro-magnet.

A de-cocking mechanism for a trigger device is described. The de-cocking mechanism comprises an articulated latch and a bi-stable camming detent mechanism. The articulated latch comprises a string hook and a latch arm. The bi-stable camming detent mechanism is movable between a ready position and a primed position. When the bi-stable camming detent mechanism is in the ready position, a first cocking motion applied to the string hook engages the articulated latch and the latch arm moves the bi-stable camming detent mechanism to the primed position. When the bi-stable camming detent mechanism is in the primed position, a second cocking motion applied to the string hook causes the bi-stable camming detent mechanism to disengage the articulated latch and return to the ready position.
