  • MERGED FLOATING PIXELS IN A TOUCH SCREEN
    Publication number: 20240134479
    Abstract: Touch sensor panel configurations for reducing wobble error for a stylus translating on a surface over and between electrodes of the touch sensor panel are disclosed. In some examples, electrodes with more linear signal profiles are correlated with lower wobble error. In some examples, diffusing elements formed of floating segments of conductive materials can diffuse signal from a stylus to a plurality of electrodes, thus, making the signal profiles associated with the electrodes more linear. In addition, diffusing elements can be configured to improve the optical uniformity of the touch sensor panel. In some examples, the diffusing elements can be formed on the same layer as floating dummy pixels and resemble a plurality of merged floating dummy pixels.

  • System and method of object inspection using multispectral 3D laser scanning
    Patent number: 11953312
    Abstract: The invention includes a system and method for obtaining high-resolution 3D images of objects. The system includes three cameras and three light sources that have different wavelengths (e.g. a red light source, a blue light source and a green light source). Each camera simultaneously captures a color image of the object. A processor separates each of the red light images, the blue light images and the green light images into separate monochrome images using each of the red light source, blue light source and green light source. The quality of the images are not subject to limited resolution of conventional RBG images. Because three different wavelengths of light are used, the surface can be accurately imaged, regardless of its characteristics (e.g. reflectivity and transparency). The system is well suited for industrial uses that require a high volume of objects, particularly those of mixed material, to be rapidly inspected for defects as small as a few microns.

  • Outflow valve assemblies including non-metallic frames and enhanced attachment features
    Patent number: 10913538
    Abstract: Outflow valve (OFV) assemblies including non-metallic frames and enhanced attachment features are provided. In embodiments, the OFV assembly includes a non-metallic frame to which at least one valve door is pivotally mounted. The non-metallic frame may, in turn, include a generally rectangular frame body, a central opening through the frame body, an outer peripheral flange extending around at least a portion of the frame body. Frame attachment interfaces are distributed or spaced around the outer peripheral flange of the non-metallic frame. The frame attachment interfaces include fastener openings and elevated platform regions, which project from an inboard side of the outer peripheral flange and through which the fastener openings extend. Base plates seat against the elevated platform regions. Fasteners engage the base plates and extend through the fastener openings to an outboard side of the outer peripheral flange to attach the OFV assembly to an aircraft fuselage.

  • Thrust reverser actuator with primary lock
    Patent number: 10330046
    Abstract: Actuator assembly includes a housing assembly, a ball screw, a ball nut, and a lock. The ball screw is rotationally mounted on and extends from the housing assembly, is coupled to receive an actuator drive torque, and is configured, upon receipt thereof, to rotate. The ball nut is rotationally supported on the ball screw and is configured, in response to rotation of the ball screw, to translate thereon between a stowed position and a deployed position. The lock is disposed at least partially within the housing assembly and is configured to move between a lock position and an unlock position. The lock prevents the ball nut from translating out of the stowed position when the lock is in the lock position and the ball nut is in the stowed position.

  • Cabin outflow valves having laterally-tapered sealing surfaces and cabin pressure control systems employing the same
    Patent number: 9873513
    Abstract: Embodiments of a cabin outflow valve having one or more laterally-tapered sealing surfaces are provided, as are cabin pressure controls system including cabin outflow valves. In one embodiment, the cabin outflow valve includes a frame and a first door, which is pivotally coupled to the frame and which is rotated by an actuator between open and closed positions. The first door includes, in turn, a torque input point at which the actuator applies a closing force when rotating the first door into a closed position. A laterally-tapered sealing surface extends along a lateral axis of the cabin outflow valve and has a profile height decreasing with increasing proximity to the torque input point. The laterally-tapered sealing surface helps to ensure the formation of a complete lateral seal when in the first door is rotated into the closed position to significantly reduce or eliminate leakage through the cabin outflow valve.
