  • Patent number: 7236430
    Abstract: A teaching clock for teaching the concept of elapsed time includes a clock face having a minute hand and an hour hand pivotally mounted to the clock face and an elapsed time indicator having an hour hand and a minute hand that move synchronously with the movement of the clock hands. The hour hand is connected to the minute hand such that pivotal movement of the minute hand about the clock face causes the hour hand to pivot synchronously therewith to designate a progression of hours of the day. The minute hand and hour hand are selectively positionable to display a time of day. The elapsed time display may include a releasable connection connected to the minute hand such that the elapsed time display resets to an initial or zero position upon release of the releasable connection whereby an elapsed time is shown by the elapsed time display between any two selected times of day shown by the minute hand and hour hand on the clock face.

  • Patent number: 5671898
    Abstract: An aircraft having variable airframe geometry includes an elongate fuselage having top and bottom sides, a swept back, high-speed wing mounted to the top of the fuselage, and a high aspect ratio, low-speed wing pivotally mounted adjacent to the bottom of the fuselage. The low-speed wing is adapted to pivot between a slow speed flight position in which a longitudinal axis of the low-speed wing is generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the fuselage, and a high-speed flight position in which the longitudinal axis of the low-speed wing is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. A fairing extends from the fuselage for receiving at least a portion of the low-speed wing when pivoted into the high-speed flight position. The low-speed wing further includes landing gear.

  • Patent number: 4263807
    Abstract: A simulator has a barrel arranged to launch a projectile. The simulator iudes a stress device for stressing the barrel. This stress device comprises a piston slidably mounted within the barrel. This piston is operative to expand at its periphery. Also included in the stress device is a seal that is sealed to the barrel and is spaced alongside the piston. The piston is positioned between the seal and the muzzle of the barrel. Pressurized fluid can be applied to the above equipment to pressurize the interspace between the piston and the seal.
