  • Publication number: 20230312133
    Abstract: In one embodiment a landing platform system using translating aircraft landing modules enables supported vehicles to reduce weight, costs, and complexity by use of simple undercarriage provisions other than landing gear. Additionally, such a system has the additional benefit of increasing operational efficiency by enabling inter-flight tasks to be undertaken before and after the aircraft is at the gate position—enabling a dramatic decrease in turnaround time.

  • Patent number: 11534903
    Abstract: A power tool (130) may include an end effector (200) configured to engage an object to be worked by the tool, a power unit (230), a drive assembly (210) configured to drive the end effector responsive to application of input power thereto, and a motor (220) configured to supply the input power to the drive assembly selectively based on operation of a power control assembly (240) that controls coupling of the motor to the power unit. The power control assembly includes a trigger (300) having a full range of motion (310) between a rest position and an actuated position. The power control assembly further defines a transition point (316) between a first region (312) and a second region (314) of the full range of motion. The power control assembly includes a first biasing assembly (330) that opposes movement of the trigger in the first region, and a second biasing assembly (340) that opposes movement of the trigger at least at the transition point.

  • Publication number: 20220128026
    Abstract: The present invention relates to spiral wind turbines and an energy-harnessing system. The system features a plurality of spiral wind turbines adapted to collect drag energy of moving vehicles and for converting the collected energy into electricity. The spiral wind turbines can also be installed for collecting air flow energy from heating vents on rooftops, smokestacks or similar structures. The system uses wind energy along with captured moving air or heated air energy for producing electric power using electric generators and storing same using storage batteries. The turbines are vertically rotating, and the method of attachment/installation will depend on the type of turbine and the location. The system allows federal, state, and local governments, as well as others, to generate electricity passively.

  • Patent number: 11208863
    Abstract: A ball launcher and method for actuating wellsite equipment at a wellsite is disclosed. The wellsite has wellhead equipment positioned at an inlet of a wellbore. The ball launcher includes a housing, a ball release, and a housing extension. The housing has a passage for receiving balls. The ball is release positionable about the housing. The ball release includes a feeder to selectively and sequentially release the balls from the housing. The housing extension includes a hopper tube and a feed tube. The hopper tube has an inlet to receive the balls from the housing, the feed tube extending at an angle from the hopper tube. The feed tube has an exit a distance above the wellhead equipment to release the balls therethrough whereby the balls are dropped into and activates the wellsite equipment in the wellbore.

  • Patent number: 10992594
    Abstract: A method may include, by a network resource optimization system, receiving from a network node a resource request, determining a plurality of network resources based on the resource request, and determining a subset of network resources from the plurality of network resources and a network resource from the subset based on a score of each network resource. The score of each network resource may be based on a rate of acceptance of communication requests received or a number of communication sessions established. The method may include, by the network resource optimization system, transmitting a communication request to the determined network resource and receiving an acceptance from the network resource. The method may include, by the network resource optimization system, causing a selection mechanism to be activated at the network node, receiving from the network node a selection, and initiating the communication session in response to the selection.
