Publication number: 20210267084Abstract: A fiber panel system includes a chassis and at least blades configured to mount to the chassis. Each blade is moveable relative to the chassis between a retracted (closed) position and at least one extended position. Cable slack is managed at the front and/or rear of each chassis to facilitate movement of the blades without pulling or bending the cables beyond a maximum bend limit. Each blade may be locked into one or more positions relative to the chassis.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Chad Anderson, Joseph C. Coffey, Ryan Kostecka, David Stone, Michael Wentworth

Publication number: 20190263621Abstract: A core for winding yarn can include an oblong hollow body and a laser-cut structure disposed through a portion of a wall of the hollow body adjacent to an end of the hollow body. A method of cutting a core for winding yarn can include providing a core comprising an oblong hollow body, and irradiating a wall of the hollow body with a laser beam to form a laser-cut structure. A method of winding yarn can include placing a core on a winding mandrel, placing a tail of a length of yarn through a laser-cut structure of the core, and spinning the core to wind the length of yarn around the core. A bobbin can include yarn wound around a core including a laser-cut structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2018Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Michael Wise, Chad Anderson

Patent number: 9376039Abstract: A seat back frame assembly and seat assembly are provided. The seat back frame assembly includes a pair of side members spaced apart from each other, a top member spaced apart from a bottom member, each of the top and bottom members interconnecting each of the pair of side members so as to define a peripheral edge, the peripheral edge enclosing a back space. An interference member is disposed within the back space and spaced apart from an inner surface of one of the pair of side members. The interference member disposed above a midpoint of the one of the pair of side members and includes a sliding surface angled obtusely with respect to the back space so as to direct an occupant forward of the back space and away from the side member when experiencing a side load.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Robert Joseph Hazlewood, Patrick J. Edgar, Yi-Ru Chen Sosnowski, Leon Toma, Phouvadol Peter Khouphongsy, Chad Anderson, Jonathan Y. San
