Patent number: 10214283Abstract: An amphibious aircraft has a tricycle landing gear that is movable between a retracted, or up, position and an extended, or down, position. Each member of the landing gear is protected in the forward direction by a hydrodynamic protector, or vane, or shoe, such as may tend to create lift when brought into engagement with water, as during landing. The landing gear protector vanes may be mounted to move with extension and retraction of the landing gear. The landing gear wheels may protrude to extend partially downwardly proud of the sole of the shoe. The landing gear actuator and transmission may operate all gear in concert. The shoes may include sacrificial wear members for ground engagement in the event of an inadvertent gear-up landing on terrain.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: E.B. ROBINSON LTD.Inventor: Eric Brian Robinson

Patent number: 9153912Abstract: A connector backshell assembly comprises a first cover, a second cover, a first sidewall block between the first cover and the second cover, and a second sidewall block between the first cover and the second cover, with the second sidewall block spaced apart from and facing the first sidewall block. At least one shield termination structure is located between the first and second covers, with the shield termination structure including a plurality of slots that are substantially parallel to each other. The first and second covers, and the first and second sidewall blocks, define a front opening in communication with the slots. Each of the slots are configured to hold a conductor that extends from a rear portion of the backshell assembly into the front opening for termination connection with an electrical connector. The backshell assembly is electrically conductive and provides a shield to prevent electromagnetic interference with each conductor.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Christopher Boyden, Harold Brian Robinson, John Geruntho

Patent number: 8241188Abstract: An exercise apparatus is implemented with a frame with a horizontal and vertical component and a rotatable endless belt mounted on the horizontal frame component, the belt having a surface for supporting a user. Vertical frame component has an upper body engaging element connected thereto and adapted to engage the shoulders of a user during a portion of an exercise cycle. An actuator is disposed between the upper body engaging element and the vertical frame component, wherein an increase in actuator length raises the height of the upper body engaging element relative to the belt. The upper body engaging element is positioned at a start position of low height to engage the user in a low-level position at a beginning of the exercise cycle, and the upper body engaging element increases in height as the user accelerates and rises to a fully upright position.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2008Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: 9185-7714 Quebec Inc.Inventor: Brian Robinson

Publication number: 20070170035Abstract: A power operated retractable stop assembly includes a body, a drive arm, and a stop arm. The drive arm is pivotable between a pre-locked position and an unlocked position. There is a locked position between the pre-locked position and the unlocked position. The stop arm is pivotally mounted to the body, has a front side for engaging a workpiece, and a back side for engaging the drive arm. When the drive arm is driven to the unlocked position, the drive arm and the stop arm interact to cause the stop arm to follow the drive arm and move to a stop arm released position. This precludes the stop arm from balancing at the stop arm locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventor: Brian Robinson
