  • Publication number: 20240089796
    Abstract: A Link 16 terminal. The Link 16 terminal includes a red enclave. The red enclave comprises a Link 16 radio. The Link 16 radio is configured to send commands to Link 16 modems. The commands specify time slots when operations in the commands should be performed by the Link 16 modems. The Link 16 terminal further includes a black enclave physically separated from the red enclave. The black enclave includes a Link 16 modem configured to receive commands from the Link 16 radio. The Link 16 terminal further includes a communication channel configured to facilitate communication between the red enclave and the black enclave. The Link 16 radio is configured to dynamically adjust when commands are sent to the Link 16 modem with respect to time slots specified in the commands based on latency between the Link 16 radio and the Link 16 modem.

  • Patent number: 4721443
    Abstract: A discharge valve retainer for a compressor with at least two arcuately-shaped, annular segments which segments are joined together. By joining the annular segments together, a retainer structure having a very rigid central portion results, thereby reducing stress and fatigue of the retainer. The discharge ports are arranged in an annular fashion and the suction ports are disposed radially inside the annularly arranged discharge ports.

  • Patent number: 4327891
    Abstract: A diaphragm for a flush valve is made of molded rubber with a plastic insert for strengthening the diaphragm. The insert includes reinforcing means located at the points where the diaphragm is attached to the valve parts. There is also a plurality of spaced, rigid sections placed between the points of attachment. Connecting means are provided for connecting the reinforcing means and the rigid sections together. The connecting means is arranged to permit flexibility of the diaphragm in two planes. Thus, the diaphragm is permitted to flex both in the plane of the diaphragm and perpendicular to the diaphragm.
