Abstract: A limb for an archery bow is provided. The limb includes an outer elongate member, an inner elongate member, and a core member. The outer elongate member is formed of a first material. The inner elongate member is formed of a second material. The core member is formed of a third material and is sandwiched between the outer elongate member and the inner elongate member. The core member is coupled with at least a portion of the outer elongate member and the inner elongate member. The outer elongate member and the inner elongate member are configured to move relative to each other when the limb is bent. The first material and the second material are each stiffer than the third material.

Abstract: The presently disclosed technology is directed toward the removal of plugs in a pipeline segment by installing one or more clamping devices onto a pipeline. The clamping device will have the ability to access the inside of the pipeline segment and inject media designed to dissolve the plug.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing an abnormality of an archery bow is provided. The method includes detecting, by one or more controllers, an operating condition of the archery bow from at least one onboard monitoring device of the archery bow, and comparing, by the one or more controllers, the operating condition to a threshold operating condition. The method further includes identifying, by the one or more controllers, an abnormal condition based on the comparing of the operating condition to the threshold operating condition, and presenting, by the one or more controllers, the abnormal condition to a user. A non-transitory computer readable medium for performing the method is also provided.

Abstract: A limb for an archery bow is provided. The limb includes an outer elongate member, an inner elongate member, and a core member. The outer elongate member is formed of a first material and includes an interior surface and an exterior surface. The inner elongate member is formed of a second material and includes an interior surface and an exterior surface. The core member is formed of a third material and is sandwiched between the outer elongate member and the inner elongate member. The core member is coupled with at least a portion of each of the interior surfaces of the outer elongate member and the inner elongate member. The outer elongate member and the inner elongate member are configured to move relative to each other when the limb is bent. The first material and the second material are each stiffer than the third material.

Abstract: An example embodiment includes a remotely controlled pipeline section internal repair device. In some embodiments, the repair apparatus comprises elastomer seal rings that expand between an apparatus internal metal sleeve and the inner diameter of the pipe. The mechanical pressure exerted by the elastomer rings is such that the apparatus contains the internal fluid, as well as prevents ingress of external fluid when the pipeline is submerged.

Abstract: The present invention includes a load frame test device using a plurality of levers about a common pivot point for applying combinations of tensile loading and bending on test articles at magnitudes seen in offshore applications.

Abstract: A shooting simulation system and method for training personnel in targeting visual and non-line-of-sight targets. The firearm simulation system has a plurality of participants each having a firearm and each being equipped to transmit their location to a remote computer server for storage and use with other transmitted data to determine which participant was a Shooter and which participant was the Shooter's target and for determining a simulated hit or miss of the target and assessing the simulated damage to the target.

Abstract: A monitoring system for an archery bow is provided. Monitoring devices and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A tooling arm includes a housing, a drive system, a lead screw and nut assembly, and a scoop assembly. The lead screw and nut assembly is operably connected to the drive system such that rotation of the nut drives the lead screw upwardly and downwardly relative to the housing. The scoop assembly is operably connected to the lead screw. The scoop assembly has an open position and a closed position and movement of the lead screw downwardly responsively moves the scoop assembly from the open position to the closed position.

Abstract: A surface scanning method and apparatus attached to a highway vehicle, mobile equipment, or the like, that traverses existing roadways and bridges. The apparatus has at least one of a variously adaptable, complete, and ready to operate packaged kit including configured sensor suites with one or more of a visual scanning sensor; an infra-red scanning sensor; and an elevation measuring sensor.

Abstract: A two joint module includes a housing and a pair of hollow rotary actuator assemblies. Each actuator assembly has an axis and a hollow shaft and the axes are arranged at an angle to each other. The pair of hollow rotary actuator assemblies are arranged back to back and attached to the housing such that cables can be fed from the outside of one of the pair of hollow rotary actuator assemblies to the inside thereof and to the inside of the other of the pair of hollow rotary actuator assemblies to the outside thereof. The disclosure also relates to a robotic arm. The robotic includes at least two two joint modules as described herein and at least a first link.

Abstract: A modular reconfigurable surgical robot for use in association with a surgical tool is disclosed. The surgical robot includes a linear module for linear movement; a turret module for rotational movement, and elbow roll module for rotational movement, and a wrist tilt module for rotational movement. The turret module has a turret rotational axis. The elbow roll module for rotational has an elbow roll rotational axis at an angle to the turret rotational axis. The wrist tilt module has a wrist tilt rotational axis at an angle to the turret rotational axis and the elbow roll rotational axis. The linear module, turret module, elbow roll module and wrist tilt module are operably connectable together to form the surgical robot and one of the modules is operably connectable to the surgical tool. The surgical robot may include an arch device unit attachable to one of the other modules.
