  • Patent number: 10948094
    Abstract: A fire sprinkler including: a body connected to a water supply and having a passage, the passage having a sealing material or a sealing surface at a first end; an actuator disposed in the passage, the actuator and passage configuring a water-tight seal; a water spreader configured to direct water radially outward; and a wax motor actuated by an ambient temperature greater than a predetermined threshold temperature such that actuation of the wax motor exerts an actuation force on the second end of the actuator to move the actuator to a seal between the water supply and the water spreader; wherein the actuator is arranged such that the pressure from the water supply tends to move the actuator to stop water flow when the ambient temperature falls below the predetermined threshold temperature.

  • Publication number: 20210031467
    Abstract: A system and method for fabricating large composite fuselages or other vehicle structures, in which the composite structure is fabricated and cured as on a tool, segmented and removed from the tool without disassembling the tool, and then reassembled off the tool to reform the large structure. The tool includes mandrel segments attached to a substructure. The attachments may be moveable to accommodate differential expansion and contraction during curing, and the tool may be rotatable to facilitate access. A composite material of resin and synthetic fibers is applied over the mandrel segments to fabricate the structure on the tool. Caul plates are secured over the composite material, and the composite material is cured on the tool. The resulting structure is cut into part segments which are then removed from the tool, and the part segments are joined to reassemble the large composite structure off the tool.

  • Patent number: 10779546
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for producing food and drink products containing milled anthocyanin-rich legumes from the Fabaceae family are shown that may lower the glycemic index, increase the duration of nutritionally-derived energy availability over simple carbohydrates, increase nutritional fiber content, reduce hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia, total lipids, and cellular anabolism and energy consumption, and increase cellular catabolism and energy production. Using the methods of the present invention, legumes are milled into microparticulate form to increase nutrient availability and to reduce flatulence and other side-effects associated with prior art anthocyanin extraction techniques. Using a method of the present invention, lectins are significantly deactivated, thereby eliminating or substantially reducing hemagglutination.
