Publication number: 20240124162Abstract: For maneuvering a spacecraft, a method calculates a virtual point that represents a plurality of spacecraft orbiting in a spacecraft formation. The method iteratively calculates a desired trajectory relative to the virtual point for a given spacecraft of the plurality of spacecraft using a relative orbital elements (ROE) state x of the virtual point and the given spacecraft. Model predictive control maintains the given spacecraft within an ROE constraint for a given time interval subject to a fuel consumption. In response to determining a drift trajectory of the given spacecraft is outside of a trajectory tolerance of the desired trajectory, maneuvering the given spacecraft to within the trajectory tolerance using a maneuver trajectory determined using the model predictive control.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Space Dynamics LaboratoryInventors: Tyson Smith, John Akagi, Greg Droge

Publication number: 20230381895Abstract: Apparatus for assembling a pipe-in-pipe pipeline comprises a primary support system, such as an array of rollers, for supporting an outer pipe section and a secondary support system, such as a set of rails, for supporting an inner pipe section. The primary support system supports the outer pipe section centred on a longitudinal axis in common with a trailing end of a partially-completed pipeline. The secondary support system is deployed to support the inner pipe section also centred on that common axis, enabling the inner pipe section to be advanced and welded to an inner pipe of the partially-completed pipeline. The secondary support system is then retracted to advance the outer pipe section, supported by the primary support system, around the inner pipe section. This enables the outer pipe section to be welded to an outer pipe of the partially-completed pipeline.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Jack William MARSTON, Briony Anne Louise MCTERNAN, William Alexander GRIEVE, Greg SMITH

Publication number: 20220213711Abstract: A movable platform storage device for off-floor storage including a substantially vertical support member (column) anchored to a concrete floor that defines the deployment axis. The movable platform is connected to the vertical support member (column) and can be raised or lowered to one of any plurality of positions oriented generally transversely to the deployment axis by means of an electric servo-motor power unit and wire cable lifting system. The column is available in different lengths to accommodate ceiling height limitations and desired raised platform heights. The platform storage device can be used as a single stand-alone unit or multiple storage units can be combined in a configuration that creates a unique electric/mechanical powered elevated mezzanine system with increase elevated storage area. The servo motor electric/mechanical wireless power system on each of the combined storage lifts can be programmed identically so that all platforms will raise and lower simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventor: Greg Smith

Patent number: 10213928Abstract: A combination tool that at one end has a knife and at the other end has a three pronged fork. The two sides are separated by a bridge with a loop attached thereto. One side of the tool has a thin hollow sheath that covers the side when not in use whereas the opposing side has a removable, locking handle that covers it when not in use. Both the sheath and the removable, locking handle are wrapped in paracord for use when deploying the tool and for having paracord at hand. A specialized, removable cleat is attachable and removable from the tool that provides notches that are also found on the top edge of the knife end and the top and bottom prongs of the fork end and also to provide a blunt surface that prevents the paracord from being cut when wrapped around the knife blade.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Inventor: Greg Smith
