  • Publication number: 20180187876
    Abstract: A light-up article includes a housing having an aperture at a bottom that receives a lighting device that extends outwardly therefrom. The lighting device includes a spring biased assembly for biasing a contact switch therein to an open position. When force is applied to the article downwardly, springs compress as housing members of the lighting device approach and the contact switch actuates. Actuation results in an electrical circuit outputting light from a light emitter at the top of the lighting device that is viewable through a translucent housing of the article.

  • Patent number: 9777455
    Abstract: A water-permeable woven geotextile fabric for providing soil reinforcement and/or stabilization, for example as an underlayment in road construction, utilizes a series of round warp fibers, in combination with a series of flat warp fibers, across the width of the fabric to increase water flow while still providing desired filtration. In particular, the round warp fibers form angles that allow greater amounts of water to pass through the fabric. In addition, using both round and flat warp fibers results in increased roughness of the fabric surface, which makes the fabric more resistant to being pulled out of the soil when pulled on. Furthermore, one or more of the round and/or flat warp fibers can include a color selected for high visibility to the human eye in daylight conditions.

  • Publication number: 20170259913
    Abstract: A rotor hub comprises a gimbal assembly and an elastomeric centrifugal force bearing. The gimbal assembly is configured to transfer rotational movement of a mast to the rotor hub and to enable the rotor hub to flap relative to the mast. The elastomeric centrifugal force bearing is configured to withstand centrifugal force of a rotor blade when the mast is rotated and is configured to accommodate pitch changes of the rotor blade. A method comprises designing a gimbal assembly that enables a tail rotor hub to flap relative to a tail rotor mast. A centrifugal force bearing is selected that enables tail rotor blades to withstand centrifugal force and that allows for tail rotor blade pitch change articulation. Then, instructions are provided to use the gimbal assembly and the centrifugal force bearing in an in-plane tail rotor assembly.

  • Publication number: 20170135178
    Abstract: A light emitting system for an article includes a switch that manually selects from multiple modes of operation for lights. The article may be a toy, slumber bed, backpack, wearable article, or light emitting system for receiving a container. One mode provides illumination and a second mode provides flashing and/or multicolor effects. Another lighting system includes a lighting module with a lighting circuit having a motion switch or other type of sensor, an electronic switch, a biasing circuit, and a plurality of multi-color lights that change color. An article has a recess for receiving the lighting module. The controller controls different lamps disposed in regions of the lighting module based on movement or other external factor or force detected by the sensor. The regions include indicia that provide changing facial expressions by operating different lamps when detection of motion occurs repeatedly within predetermined time periods.

  • Publication number: 20170073067
    Abstract: A hub system comprises at least one yoke, at least one shear bearing, and at least one mast adapter. The at least one mast adapter is configured to support the at least one yoke and the at least one shear bearing, and the at least one yoke has a flapping hinge that is non-coincident with a flapping hinge of the at least one shear bearing. Another hub system comprises a stacked yoke and a mast adapter. The mast adapter is configured to transfer rotation from a rotor mast to the hub system to rotate the hub system about a central axis of rotation. The mast adapter is further configured to support the stacked yoke such that each yoke in the stacked yoke is configured to accommodate at least some amount of rotation about an axis that is perpendicular to or about perpendicular to the central axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20080124505
    Abstract: A fabric filter cover sleeve woven on a flat loom in a manner allows a section of the fabric, having a specified width, to be opened up similar to a tube, sleeve or bag. Several of the tubes (or sleeves, or bags) may be woven on the loom simultaneously. The tubes may be continuous or closed on either or both end in a specified length. For example, a tube closed at one end may be considered a bag shaped filter cover. The fabric filter cover sleeves may be woven of various types of natural and synthetic yarns, such as extruded thermoplastic yarns. The woven fabric filter covers can be easily separated such that each sleeve can enclose, or cover, structures used within filters. Filter structures, such as filter grids, or filtration materials, such as diatomaceous earth, or sand, may be enclosed within the woven fabric sleeves to form filters.

  • Publication number: 20080086808
    Abstract: A woven fabric pool cover has an antimicrobial agent that reduces/prevents the growth of microbes on the pool cover and in the water of a swimming pool covered by the cover. The fabric cover may be woven from polyolefin extruded monofilaments, and/or fibrillated tape yarns where the yarns have an antimicrobial agent added during the yarn extrusion process or added to fabric formed by the yarns. The fabric may be woven from traditional polyolefin extruded monofilaments, and/or fibrillated tape yarns before the resulting fabric is treated with a antimicrobial agent. Such treatment may involve spraying a solution onto the fabric or also dipping, soaking, or padding the fabric into the treating solution. The antimicrobial agent may form a zone of inhibition around the yarns and may seep out of the fabric to form zones of inhibition in the surrounding environment, like on the cover and/or in swimming pool water.
