Patent number: 11928015Abstract: A fault insertion device (FID) comprises a transceiver and an FPGA. The transceiver receives signals from a MIL-STD-1553/1760 communications bus. The FPGA evaluates the signals received from the communications bus against a set of rules stored by the FPGA. Based upon the set of rules, the FPGA can selectively modify messages received from the communications bus prior to transmission to a remote terminal or a bus controller that is configured to communicate on the communications bus.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Jason P. Krein, Jeremy W. Giron, Matthew S. Geuss, Robert Nevett, IV, Stephen T. Simpson, Roger Martin Kilgore, Jacob Edward Leemaster

Patent number: 9347215Abstract: A laminate tape that has a bottom layer of aggressive adhesive formulated to have sufficient adhesion to construction materials to as low as 20 degrees F. The adhesive is applied in a layer of about 2 to 5 mils. A second layer that is about 10 to 60 mils thick is made of rubberized asphalt, which provides self-sealing capabilities. In one embodiment, the first layer has strips of adhesive and sections of rubberized asphalt. The third layer is a film, which can be a thin, contiguous polymer, fabric or particulate. The laminate can be used where a strong adhesive is needed that will adhere to construction materials at or near 20 degrees Fahrenheit, while still retaining self-sealing characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: MFM Building Products CorporationInventors: Robert S. Simpson, Michael L. Wright, Whitney J. Croft

Patent number: 5142837Abstract: A laminated roofing material includes an aluminum foil top sheet laminated to a polyethylene film by an ionomer resin. After the sheets are bonded together they are cooled to set the resin and a asphalt coating is applied to the exposed polyethylene sheet and covered with a release paper. The roofing material is applied over an underlayment to form a roof supported by conventional sheeting material.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1991Date of Patent: September 1, 1992Assignee: Mineral Fiber Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Robert S. Simpson, Robert E. Simpson

Patent number: 4264993Abstract: A method and apparatus for the space dyeing of yarn while the yarn is in the form of a loosely gathered package, such as a conventional yarn skein, and which includes injecting an atomized spray of dye and air at a plurality of spaced apart locations in the package, and such that the dye contacts only a portion of the yarn. The resulting yarn is characterized by essentially random and relatively short colorband lengths, which avoid the formation of unsightly streaks or "chevrons" on the face of a fabric formed from the yarn.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1978Date of Patent: May 5, 1981Assignee: Calhoun Yarn Services, Inc.Inventors: Danny M. Freeman, Milton M. Knight, Jr., Clarence M. Payton, Robert S. Simpson, Howard B. Smith, Jr.
