Abstract: Provided are a structure and a method of forming a structure that includes a core made, at least in part, of a rice hull composition. The rice hull composition including a combination of separate, unground rice hulls; ground rice hulls; and a rice hull powder, that each have a different particle size. A polymeric binder, such as a recycled plastic polymeric binder binds the separated unground rice hulls, the ground rice hulls and the rice hull powder together.

Abstract: Provided is a tile for concealing an underlying surface. The tile includes a base including a downward-facing surface that is to oppose an underlying surface on which the tile is to rest. The base is formed, at least in part, from a material including a combination of crumb rubber and rice hull material. A plurality of feet extend in a downwardly direction from the downward-facing surface to contact the underlying surface on which the tile is to rest and separate the downward-facing surface from the underlying surface. A cap is coupled to a surface of the base opposite the downward-facing surface comprising the feet.

Abstract: A flexible motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) for high load force transmission over long distance includes a motion transmitting core element (20) slidably disposed within a tubular casing (12). A roller assembly (24) along with upper (32) and lower (32') races position the core element (20) within the casing (12) for minimizing sliding friction. The upper (32) and lower (32') races each have a shoulder (42') at one end for retaining that end of the race in a fixed position within the casing (12). The opposite end of the upper (32) and lower (32') races are each provided with a post (52, 52') which protrude through respective axially extending slots (66, 66') in the casing (12). As the casing (12) is routed during installation to form curved sections between its two ends, the respective posts (52, 52') on the upper (32) and lower (32') races are displaced axially within their slots (66, 66') through the casing (12).

Abstract: An energy storage and release system (10) in combination with an aircraft (11) for ejecting an ordnance from the aircraft, the system (10) including a housing (22) mounted in the aircraft (11) and a drive shaft (24) having an outer end (26) and inner end (28) supported within the housing (22) for reciprocating axial movement of the outer end (26) into and out of the housing (22). An energy storage system including a flywheel (30) rotatably mounted within the housing (22) and operatively connected to the drive shaft (24) moves the outer end (26) of the drive shaft (24) axially out of the housing (22) to eject an ordnance (18). A linear induction motor (16) powers the flywheel (30).
