Publication number: 20180214909Abstract: A method of manufacturing an object. A thermoplastic matrix material is melted to transform it into liquid matrix material. The liquid matrix material is fed into a chamber via one or more matrix inlets. A fibre is also fed into the chamber via a fibre inlet. The fibre in the chamber is contacted by the liquid matrix material. A coated fibre is extruded from an extrusion outlet of the chamber onto a substrate, the coated fibre comprising the fibre with a coating of the liquid matrix material, the substrate comprising a previously extruded coated fibre. The fibre moves in and out of the chamber at the same velocity relative to the chamber. The coating fuses with the previously extruded coated fibre and solidifies after it has fused with the previously extruded coated fibre. Relative movement is generated between the extrusion outlet and the substrate as the coated fibre is extruded from the extrusion outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2018Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: Benjamin FARMER, William KESSLER, Jonathan MEYER, Andrew HAWKINS

Patent number: 9689632Abstract: An integrated spring bottom metal latch is disclosed that obviates the problem of rifles having heavy recoil from erroneously and unintentionally opening and dropping shells or magazines upon firing. The integrated spring allows for exact manufacturing versus compression springs. As a result, the presently disclosed invention may be utilized to address specific recoil requirements as found in any number of rifles exhibiting different recoil.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Hawkins Precision LLCInventor: Andrew Hawkins

Patent number: 9292406Abstract: A computer implemented method of monitoring the performance of a computer comprises determining the value of an activity metric of the monitored computer. The contribution(s) to the said value of one or more predetermined activities is/are determined In one embodiment, the said contribution(s) are subtracted from the said total value to provide a net value representing a measure of the performance of the computer. A predetermined data set may be used to identify the one or more predetermined activities. In another embodiment, the value of at least one activity metric of the monitored computer is determined excluding contributions to that value from the said one or more predetermined activities identified from the said data set to provide a net value representing a measure of the performance of the computer. The net value may be used to control the power consumption of the computer.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2010Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: 1E LIMITEDInventors: Sumir Karayi, Mark Blackburn, Andrew Hawkins, Richard Cudd, Sophie Chang
