Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes multiple power management mechanism operating in different time domains (e.g., with different bandwidths) and control circuitry that is configured to coordinate operation of the mechanisms. If one mechanism is adding energy to the system, for example, the control circuitry may inform another mechanism that the energy is coming so that the other mechanism may not take as drastic an action as it would if no energy were coming. If a light workload is detected by circuitry near the load, and there is plenty of energy in the system, the control circuitry may cause the power management unit (PMU) to generate less energy or even temporarily turn off. A variety of mechanisms for the coordinated, coherent use of power are described.

Abstract: A landing gear actuation system is disclosed herein. The landing gear actuation system includes a trunnion sprocket coupled to a movable member, a drive motor, and a flexible drive member extending between and to the motor and the trunnion sprocket. The motor is configured to move the flexible drive member, wherein the movement of the flexible drive member moves the trunnion sprocket and the movable member. The flexible drive member may be a belt or a chain.

Abstract: A landing gear actuation system is disclosed herein. The landing gear actuation system includes an attachment point integral to a movable member, a flexible pull member having a first end coupled to the attachment point, and a motor configured to move the flexible pull member, wherein the movement of the flexible pull member moves the attachment point and the movable member.

Abstract: A weaving device utilizing a projectile and a pressurized medium to guide the projectile as it transports a weft thread from a supply spool through a section of warp threads. A device is also used to introduce and decelerate the projectile. The pressurized medium passes through outlet openings in a plurality of spaced apart guides and moves the projectile by acting upon a plurality of annular recesses on the surface of these projectiles. Further, as the pressurized medium strikes these annular recesses, a pressure build up takes place in the spaces of the annular recesses to create a boundary of air which reduces friction between the projectile and the guides, and which increases the stability of the projectile.

Abstract: A pre-unwinding device for use in a spoolless weaving loom, using a weft injector, includes a winding body with a variable adjustable diameter situated within a thread receiving cylinder in which a thread stopping device can be activated. A receiving cylinder and a stopping device are movable in a plane which is almost perpendicular to the axis of the winding body.
