  • Publication number: 20240069596
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may include a main housing portion and displays in the main housing portion that provide images to eye boxes. A light seal may be coupled to the main housing portion and may at least partially surround the eye boxes. The head-mounted device may include sweat mitigation structures such as moisture-guiding channels in the light seal to guide sweat and other moisture away from the eye boxes. The moisture-guiding channels may be formed from grooves or moisture-wicking fabric. Control circuitry may adjust a fan based on humidity, temperature, or fog detected by a sensor. The light seal may include a directional pattern of grooves through which moisture is guided away from the eye boxes. A moisture barrier layer may be interposed between an inner foam layer and an outer light-blocking fabric to prevent sweat from penetrating into the foam.

  • Publication number: 20210267776
    Abstract: The current document is directed to a two-way, by-passable, overrunning clutch incorporated within a mechanical prosthetic knee that provides functionality similar to a biological knee or incorporated in another articulated device, such as a robotic or orthotic articulated device or member. The currently disclosed two-way, by-passable, overrunning clutch allows for two-way free rotation when disabled, but, when enabled, prevents rotation in one direction while allowing free rotation in the other direction. In the mechanical prosthetic knee, the two-way, by-passable, overrunning clutch is enabled by application of a mechanical force and disabled by removal of the mechanical force.

  • Patent number: 8590160
    Abstract: An elongated grid runner, and its manufacture, comprising a pair of overlying metal strips roll-formed together into a shape suitable for use in a rectangular grid to support ceiling panels, one of said strips serving as a visible cap for concealing the other strip forming the main body of the grid runner when the grid member is employed in a completed ceiling, the strips being lanced at each end of the grid runner to lock the cap strip on the main body strip whereby when the overlying strips are simultaneously cut to a finish length prior to finish roll-forming, the ends of the strip are maintained in substantially overlying end-to-end registration where the cap is visible in a finished ceiling.

  • Patent number: 4876837
    Abstract: A drywall corner bead providing a rounded nose and two mounting flanges extending from opposite sides of the nose is formed from a strip of galvanized metal of uniform thickness. The two flanges are provided with three discrete longitudinally extending bands of reduced thickness formed by shear deformation of the material forming the band. The flanges are knurled to emboss the surface thereof and openings are formed in the flanges at intervals along their length. The corner bead is formed by a method in which shear deforming forces are progressively applied to the material forming the thinned bands to produce lateral deformation of such material without any appreciable lengthwise deformation. After the thinned bands are formed, forces are applied to straighten the corner bead. Subsequently, the flanges are knurled to provide an embossed surface and holes are punched in the flanges at intervals along their length.
