Publication number: 20240030572Abstract: A containment apparatus for collecting electrolyte from a battery relief vent is provided. The containment apparatus includes a body comprising a reservoir, a relief vent aperture, an internal baffle, and an upper vent aperture; a push-on connection that attaches the relief vent aperture to the battery relief vent; and a viewing window on an external side of the body. The containment apparatus attaches to a pressure relief vent on a battery to capture droplets of electrolyte that are released from the battery relief vent. Liquid electrolytes travel through the relief vent aperture and into the reservoir, and vaporized electrolyte condenses on the baffle and falls into the reservoir as droplets or travels past the baffle and is directed through the upper vent aperture via the walls. The device prevents electrolytes from accumulating on the outside of the battery and associated hardware within the vicinity of the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Christopher Hammond, Lawrence S.

Patent number: 9586683Abstract: This disclosure describes a configuration of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will facilitate extended flight duration. The UAV may have any number of lifting motors. For example, the UAV may include four lifting motors (also known as a quad-copter), eight lifting motors (octo-copter), etc. Likewise, to improve the efficiency of horizontal flight, the UAV also includes a thrusting motor and propeller assembly that is oriented at approximately ninety degrees to one or more of the lifting motors. When the UAV is moving horizontally, it may be determined if the horizontal airspeed of the UAV exceeds an airspeed threshold. If the horizontal airspeed exceeds the airspeed threshold, the thrusting motor may be engaged and the thrusting propeller will aid in the horizontal propulsion of the UAV.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Buchmueller, Gur Kimchi, Louis LeRoi LeGrand, III, Samuel Park, Christopher Hammond Sczudlo, Ricky Dean Welsh, Neil Whitney Woodward, III

Patent number: 9215939Abstract: A display fixture has a bin with multiple sections. A clip attached to a back panel of the bin has an aperture for receiving a fastener to fasten the bin to a peg board. A back support is mounted to the bin and has a downwardly extending leg that is sized to fit between the peg board and a back surface of a base that the display fixture is seated upon. The bin includes a lower tier of product sections defined in part by a front panel and has a lower sign support with two legs attached to the front panel and a lower label holder connected between the two legs such that there is an open space defined between the two legs and between a top of the front panel and a bottom of the lower label holder. The bin also includes an upper tier of product sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Erin L. Zobel, Jason W.
