Patent number: 11047443Abstract: A continuous fiber brake rotor preform and apparatuses and methods for manufacturing the preform are disclosed herein. The preform comprises a plurality of continuous fiber streams or filaments forming a substantially helical structure having layers or flights compressed together in the preform's longitudinal direction. Each continuous fiber stream or filament may comprise the same or different types of fiber, extends substantially between longitudinally disposed preform ends, and resides laterally adjacent to another continuous fiber stream or filament within each layer or flight of the helical structure. The radial distance between each continuous fiber stream or filament and the preform's longitudinal axis varies with angular location about the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2014Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: BAM Inc.Inventor: Allen Simpson

Publication number: 20200407107Abstract: A display ready case configured to be transformed from a transportation configuration to a display configuration. The display ready case including a top, bottom, left, right, front, and rear side, the top side including a tuck flap including two or more locking tabs configured to be inserted into two or more corresponding locking slots defined in the respective left and right sides, wherein an application of an external force to the tuck flap causes the two or more locking tabs to disengage from the two or more locking slots, thereby releasing the top side from the left and right sides, and where upon release of the top side from the left and right sides, the top side is removably coupled to the rear side via a perforation line, thereby enabling transformation of the display ready case to a display ready configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Jonathan Michael Genord, Westley Allen Simpson

Patent number: 10436267Abstract: The present disclosure describes brake rotor preforms and brake pads configured to reduce fracturing and failure of brake rotors by distributing the axial force applied during braking across butt joints between abutting segments of preforms and rotors manufactured therefrom. The preforms comprise a spiral annular structure formed about a longitudinal axis from a plurality of carbon fiber precursor tow segments having a partial annular shape. Each segment is asymmetrical when viewed in the longitudinal axis direction and configured so planes defined by the segment's ends are never coplanar with planes extending radially from the longitudinal axis. The brake pads have a partial annular shape and ends adapted to prevent planes defined by the ends from being coplanar during use with a plane extending radially from a brake rotor longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: BAM Inc.Inventors: Allen Simpson, R. Stevan Coursey

Patent number: 10400371Abstract: The disclosure describes a low density cloth preform, and apparatuses and methods for manufacturing the same. The low density cloth preform has a lower density than other preforms manufactured using prior apparatuses and methods, thereby rendering the low density cloth preform more amenable to the addition of matrix carbon thereto through the use of less expensive carbon sources and more rapid processes for adding matrix carbon. The apparatuses and methods for manufacturing the low density cloth preform comprise preform needling machines configured and preform needling processes operable to provide a more uniform and lesser needling depth with the result being a preform having a lower density. The preform needling machines utilize foam bases formed from resilient materials having appropriate rebound rates, arrangements of barbed needles in one or more groups and needling stages, and positioning of the barbed needles to minimize deflection of the foam bases and preform material.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: BAM Inc.Inventor: Allen Simpson

Publication number: 20170241563Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a housing defining an inlet port and an outlet port. The outlet port extends along a longitudinal axis of the housing to enable a fluid flow through the outlet port in a first direction. The valve assembly includes a valve element at least partially located within the housing and movable along the longitudinal axis between a first position in which the outlet port is closed and a second position in which the outlet port is open. The valve assembly includes a biasing member located within the housing and configured to bias the valve element to the first position. The direction of movement of the valve element from the first position to the second position is generally opposite to the first direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2016Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: Caterpillar Global Mining America LLCInventor: Steven Allen Simpson

Patent number: 9724081Abstract: A hemostatic system includes a first tube defining a first lumen configured to channel a fluid therethrough, a second tube housing at least a portion of the first tube and at least partially defining a second lumen configured to channel a hemocoagulant agent therethrough, a hopper coupled to the second tube, and an injection device. The hopper defines a cavity in fluid communication with the second lumen and is configured to retain the hemocoagulant agent therein. The injection device is selectively positionable within the second lumen and/or the cavity to facilitate channeling the hemocoagulant agent from the cavity through the second lumen.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Phillips Medical LLCInventors: Victor Matthew Phillips, Royce Allen Simpson
