  • Patent number: 10260485
    Abstract: A delivery system having a telescoping spring is used to drive a plunger. The telescoping spring includes a nested inner spring that uses the unused volume on the inside of an outer spring. The telescoping spring has a staged release of each spring. The inner spring is connected to a non-anchored end of the outer spring, and rides within a container located within an inner dimension of the outer spring. The spring constant K of each spring can be the same or different. The delivery system can be fully mechanical or implemented as a smart delivery system under electronic control.

  • Patent number: 10209315
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for estimating battery discharge time duration during high-rate battery discharging. Generally speaking, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a prediction of battery run times for short duration, high-current discharge events that are scaled in seconds rather than minutes, and which are continuously compensated for ambient temperature which can alter discharge times as a result of reaching thermal limitations before chemical capacity has actually been exhausted.

  • Publication number: 20180355993
    Abstract: A fluid control valve and valve assembly including the fluid control valve are disclosed. The valve includes a valve body comprising a supply port and an exhaust port, each of which are in selective communication with a control port. A valve sealing member is located between a supply valve seat and an exhaust valve seat, and is supported for linear displacement between at least a first valve position and a second valve position. In the first valve position, the valve sealing member is pressed against the exhaust valve seat such that the supply port is in fluid communication with the control port and fluid pressure at the control port is high. In the second valve position, the valve sealing member is pressed against the supply valve seat such that the control port is in fluid communication with the exhaust port and fluid pressure at the control port is low.

  • Patent number: 10146214
    Abstract: According to one embedment, a supply chain monitoring system can collect performance information from a server associated with each of a tier 1 control tower, tier 2 product assembler, tier 3 part and/or component manufacturer, and tier 4 material supplier to monitor a performance of one or more functions of a supply chain. The system obtains event information regarding an event potentially adversely impacting performance of the supply chain, determines a range of disruption of the event indicating a likely spatial range impacted by the event, and compares the range of disruption of the event against the supply chain to determine that a supply chain component has been impacted by the event.

  • Patent number: 10085370
    Abstract: A method for producing a magnetic resonant frequency (MRF) absorber and apparatus for an MRF absorber are described herein. The method comprises processing a high permeability material such as permalloy comprising 80% nickel, 18% iron, 2% molybdenum to create a specific geometric form factor such as a flake, sphere, or rod. The geometric form factor may then be encapsulated in an insulating matrix. The insulating matrix may be a Potassium Silicate (SiO3K2). The insulated flake, sphere, or rod form factor may be introduced to a powder coating process. The insulated flake, sphere, or rod form factor may then be mixed with a polymeric coating powder at a weight ratio based on a desired performance for absorbing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
