Publication number: 20240173577Abstract: A cable sleeve for use with a safety cable of a fall protection system. The cable sleeve has a braking system that includes a constant-contact wheel, a rotor that is connected to the constant-contact wheel, a cam plate, and a braking shoe. The rotor may have a permanent magnet and a magnetically susceptible item that is held in a disengaged position by the permanent magnet. Rotation of the constant-contact wheel can overcome the magnetic force and cause the item to move so as to engage with the cam plate and actuate braking by the braking shoe.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Macaulay Pye, Jamie Wallace, Peter Scott, Ben Hughes, James P. Endle

Publication number: 20240105802Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having gate cut plugs removed from trench contacts, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having gate cut plugs removed from trench contacts, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A gate electrode is over the vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A conductive trench contact is adjacent to the gate electrode. A dielectric sidewall spacer is between the gate electrode and the conductive trench contact. A gate cut plug extends through the gate electrode and the dielectric sidewall spacer. The gate cut plug extends into but not entirely through the conductive trench contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Leonard P.

Publication number: 20200190739Abstract: A method for producing a high-bulk, foam-formed substrate includes producing an aqueous-based foam including at least 1% by weight crimped synthetic fibers and at least 1% by weight binder fibers; forming a wet sheet from the aqueous-based foam; and drying the wet sheet to obtain the foam-formed substrate. A substrate includes an aqueous-based polymer foam including at least 1% by weight crimped synthetic fiber and at least 1% by weight binder fiber, wherein the substrate is free of superabsorbent material. A method for producing a high-bulk, foam-formed substrate includes producing an aqueous-based foam including at least 2% by weight crimped binder fibers; forming a wet sheet from the aqueous-based foam; and drying the wet sheet to obtain the foam-formed substrate, wherein the foam-formed substrate is free of superabsorbent material, and wherein the substrate has a dry density between 0.02 g/cc and 0.1 g/cc.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2017Publication date: June 18, 2020Applicant: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Jian QIN, Deborah J.

Publication number: 20180011874Abstract: Peer-to-peer redundant file server system and methods include clients that determine a target storage provider to contact for a particular storage transaction based on a pathname provided by the filesystem and a predetermined scheme such as a hash function applied to a portion of the pathname. Servers use the same scheme to determine where to store relevant file information so that the clients can locate the file information. The target storage provider may store the file itself and/or may store metadata that identifies one or more other storage providers where the file is stored. A file may be replicated in multiple storage providers, and the metadata may include a list of storage providers from which the clients can select (e.g., randomly) in order to access the file.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Francesco Lacapra, Peter Wallace Steele, Bruno Sartirana, Ernest Ying Sue Hua, I Chung Joseph Lin, Samuel Sui-Lun Li, Nathanael John Diller, Thomas Reynold Ramsdell, Don Nguyen, Kyle Dinh Tran

Publication number: 20160273401Abstract: A power generation system may include a gas turbine system including a first turbine component, an integral compressor and a combustor to which air from the integral compressor and fuel are supplied. The combustor is arranged to supply hot combustion gases to the turbine component, and the integral compressor has a flow capacity greater than an intake capacity of the combustor and/or the turbine component, creating an excess air flow. A first control valve system controls flow of the excess air flow along an excess air flow path to a process air demand. An eductor positioned in the excess air flow path uses the excess air flow as a motive force to augment the excess air flow with additional air, creating an augmented excess air flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2015Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Sanji Ekanayake, William Theadore Fisher, Joseph Philip Klosinski, Peter Wallace Robson, Alston Ilford Scipio
