Patent number: 10730416Abstract: An energy-absorbing assembly includes an outer assembly with an outer hollow cylindrical member, and an inner assembly with an inner hollow cylindrical member having an end disposed in the outer member. The inner and outer assemblies are axially movably engaged with each other and define first and second cavities separated by a membrane: a first cavity inside the outer hollow cylindrical member and a second cavity inside the inner hollow cylindrical member. An adjustable-size orifice is disposed between the first and second cavities, and is configured to reduce diameter in response to a stroke motion of the energy-absorbing assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: AMI INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Akhil Rajagopal Kozhipuram, Mahesh Virupaxi Hosmani, Satya Swaroop Panda

Publication number: 20190176990Abstract: A lumbar support system for an aircraft seat includes a deformable lumbar support basket having a proximate end and a distal end. The system includes a shape memory alloy tension cable in communication with the proximate end of the deformable lumbar support basket, and the distal end of the deformable lumbar support basket. The shape memory alloy tension cable has a changeable tension length with an electric current through the cable. The system also includes a controller operatively connected with the shape memory alloy tension cable. The controller transmits the electric current through the shape memory alloy tension cable based on the user actuation. The electric current causes the shape memory alloy tension cable to deform the lumbar support basket by tension force applied to the proximate end of the deformable lumbar support basket and the distal end of the deformable lumbar support basket.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2018Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Sreekanth Koti Ananda Rao, Mahesh Virupaxi Hosmani, Satya Swaroop Panda, Pradeep Acharya
