  • Forward closure system
    Patent number: 8950308
    Abstract: A forward closure system includes a cylindrical frame. A pair of lune-shaped base sections are mounted to an inside surface of the frame. First and second opposed lune-shaped shell assemblies, each assembly including at least an outer shell section and an inner shell section, are rotatably mounted independently of each other at opposed ends along the rotation axis, the inner section and base sections of each shell assembly nested within the outer section when the forward closure system is in an open position, mating edges of the outer sections abutting one another when the forward closure system is in a closed position. An actuator is coupled to each outer shell section.

  • Soft matrix magnetorheological mounts for shock and vibration isolation
    Patent number: 8820492
    Abstract: A soft-matrix magnetorheological material vibration isolation system includes a first mounting plate. A first layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material has opposing first and second faces, the first face coupled to the first mounting plate. A first electromagnet has opposing first and second pole faces, the first pole face coupled to the second face of the first layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material. A second layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material has opposing first and second faces, the first face coupled to the second pole face of the first electromagnet. A second mounting plate is coupled to the second face of the second layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material, the second mounting plate adapted to be coupled to a load mass.
