Patent number: 11511367Abstract: A transition structure includes a metallic portion, a fiber portion including a plurality of tows embedded within the metallic portion and extending out from the metallic portion forming a fabric, and a binding material forming a matrix surrounding the fiber portion embedded within the metallic portion. The fiber portion may be attached to or form part of a composite vehicle component. The transition structure may join a metallic component and a composite component. The transition structure may be manufactured by creating first channels within a layer of a metallic substrate, inserting fiber tows into the first channels, placing a first metallic layer over the metallic substrate and the fiber tows, consolidating the metallic layer to the metallic substrate, and binding the fiber tows within a resin. Prior to binding, additional layers of channels and fiber tows may be consolidated onto the first metallic layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignees: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD., OHIO STATE INNOVATION FOUNDATIONInventors: Ryan Hahnlen, Duane Detwiler, Allen Sheldon, Marcelo Dapino, Mark Bryant Gingerich, Matthew Scheidt, Leon Headings

Patent number: 10490234Abstract: An unrecoverable error is determined when attempting to access data stored in a target memory unit of a storage medium of a data storage device. Access to neighboring memory units that are proximate to the target memory unit is controlled in response. The controlling of the access affects a temperature of the target memory unit over a period of time. After the period of time, access to the data is attempted from the target memory unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Jay Allen Sheldon, Ryan James Goss

Patent number: 4028806Abstract: A layering knife assembly for cutting of layers in cakes and other pastry items and for slicing articles such as fruit. The layering knife assembly is comprised of a base member having a pair of upward projecting cylindrical members. The knife comprises an elongate blade with a handle having a pair of cooperatively disposed holes for sliding over the cylindrical members on the base so as to allow the parallel translation of the knife and blade with respect to the surface on which the base is resting. Thumb screws in the handle provide locks for retaining the knife at any desired elevation. Alternative embodiments are described.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1976Date of Patent: June 14, 1977Inventor: Allen Sheldon
