Trilithic and/or twin shell dome type structures and method of making same

Trilithic Shell, Twin Shell, Multiple Shell, Curvilinear Shell as well as Free-formed Structures described herein each employ an inflatable membrane having a peripheral edge secured to an outer foundation base. An ultra-light membrane (air-form) having a network of internal cross connecting restraints is additionally secured to the inner foundation base to permit a novel and unique curvilinear surface. Pressurization then creates the backdrop upon which various urethane layers are applied which when laced with rigidifying tubes become the defining backdrop beneath which numerous cross connecting braces which when snapped into position effectively lock an inner framework to an outer framework thereby producing a self supporting truss like structure both compatible with either current dome construction and/or conventional construction practices. Shotcrete being then sprayed from the interior over said urethane coated backdrop forms highs at framework intersections and natural lows in between followed by the insertion of inflated cell tubes which span the created network of horizontal and vertical cavities are next over sprayed with urethane foam necessary to form the next natural backdrop over which two or more shotcrete/steel reinforced separate yet cross connected planes may be achieved. Such multiple yet independent rigid layers now having thousands of inner-connecting cross braces through which interior voids become natural chase-ways effectively displace 50% or more of what might otherwise be solid concrete as would be the case with all prior art thin shell structures and/or conventional stem wall construction practices. Such Free Formed curve-linear structures effectively reduce material and labor costs by as much as 50%, eliminate snap-through or oil-can buckling tendencies, enhance overall structural capacity, eliminate all height to diameter restraints, permit larger structures, facilitate floor suspension and attachment, and allow mechanical, electrical and HVAC distribution through interior chase-ways which cannot be achieved with prior art concrete thin shell single thickness structures and/or conventional stem wall, construction practices to date.

Snap-in connection for pumping plunger sliding shoes

A fuel supply pump having a plurality of radially disposed plunger sleeves each containing a pumping plunger with a driven end reciprocally movable within the plunger sleeve between a pumping position and a filling position. The fuel supply pump includes a rotatable drive member and a plurality of sliding shoes. Each shoe has a first face adjacent a respective plunger driven end and a second face adjacent the drive member. In one variation, each shoe first face includes a socket which the plunger driven end snaps into and is captured by, creating a sliding shoe assembly. A case couples all of the sliding shoe assemblies. In another variation, the cage includes apertures which the plunger driven end snaps through, thereby capturing the plunger. The plunger driven end engages a seat included on the sliding shoe first face. Rotation of the drive member moves each shoe, and thereby, each plunger toward the pumping position. As one plunger is actuated toward the pumping position by the eccentric member at least one plunger is retracted to the filling position by the coupling of the cage. The coupling of the shoe assemblies and the cage allows for the creation of a controlled gap between the shoes second face and the drive member for part of the drive member rotation. Also a method of fuel supply pump assembly using sub-assemblies which can be assembled externally to the fuel supply pump body.

Snap-through thermal actuator

InactiveUS20050099463A1Large force magnitude and accelerationPrintingThermal electric motorFluid controlLight energy
A snap-through thermal actuator for a micro-electromechanical device such as a liquid drop emitter or a fluid control microvalve is disclosed. The snap-through actuator is comprised of a base element formed with a depression having opposing anchor edges which define a central plane. A deformable element, attached to the base element at the opposing anchor edges, is constructed as a planar lamination including a first layer of a first material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a second layer of a second material having a high coefficient of thermal expansion. The deformable element is formed to have a residual shape bowing outward from the central plane in a first direction away from the second layer. The snap-through thermal actuator further comprises apparatus adapted to apply a heat pulse to the deformable element which causes a sudden rise in the temperature of the deformable element. The deformable element initially bows farther outward in the first direction, then, due to thermomechanical torque's acting at the opposing anchor edges, reverses and snaps through the central plane to bow outward in a second direction toward the second layer, and then relaxes to the residual shape as the temperature decreases. The snap-through thermal actuator is configured with a liquid chamber having a nozzle, a fluid flow port to form a liquid drop emitter or a fluid control microvalve, or to activate an electrical microswitch. Heat pulses are applied to the deformable element by resistive heating or by light energy pulses.
