Publication number: 20170113797Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage, a pair of wings and landing gear which is movable between two operative positions. In a first position of the landing gear, the center of gravity of the aircraft is in a rearward, elevated position and in a second position of the landing gear, the center of gravity of the aircraft is in a forward, lowered position. The landing gear includes a front section and a rear section. The rear section is pivotably mounted to the fuselage for movement between a lowered, forward position when the landing gear is in the first position and a raised. rearward position when the landing gear is in the second position. The front section of the landing gear is axially extendible between a lowered position when the landing gear is in the first position and a raised position when the landing gear is in the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2016Publication date: April 27, 2017Inventor: Richard Hogan

Publication number: 20050202198Abstract: An adhesive sheet is prepared by coextruding a thermoplastic adhesive material such as a thermoplastic polyurethane and a polymeric material such as a polyolefin that forms a polymeric expendable layer. A process for making a multi-layer impact resistant glass composite made up of alternating glass and plastic layers involves interposing the adhesive sheet between the glass layer and the plastic layer, removing at least one polymeric expendable layer from the adhesive sheet, and pressing the layers together to adhere the glass layer to the plastic layer. In alternate embodiments, the adhesive sheet may be provided as a co-extruded A-B composite sheet or as an A-B-A 3-layer composite sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Richard Hogan, John Wright, Bret Liebeno

Publication number: 20050107758Abstract: An ostomy comfort pad (1) that absorbs heat and moisture yet is still lightweight and not bulky. The pad (1) is sized slightly larger than an ostomy appliance (9) and has a similarly shaped body (4). A socket (6) is sized for the acceptance of an ostomy appliance collar (10) so as to surround the collar (10) when in use. The pad (1) has fasteners (2) located on the arms (3) of the pad (1) to secure the pad (1) to the ostomy belt (7). A clip-holder pocket (5) is located at the bottom of the pad (1) and is sized for the acceptance of the ostomy appliance clip (12). The pad (1) has a filling (8), preferably of pinewood fluff, so as to absorb the heat radiated from the excrements and an outer covering (13), preferably made of a polypropylene material, so as to be soft against the user's skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2003Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Richard Hogan, Ruth Hogan

Patent number: 6801216Abstract: A makeover system and method for using the system is provided for providing a user with an image of how a person would look with different hair, glasses, makeup, etc. Using a before picture of the person, the system displays an item on the before picture and resizes the item to fit the size of the person according to user input. Therefore, the makeover system can superimpose an item over an image of a person regardless of the size of the image of the person on a computer screen. The system then provides an after picture representing a composite image of the superimposed selected overlay item over the image of the person.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2001Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Inventors: Michael Voticky, Richard Hogan, Douglas Lewis, Christopher J.
