Patent number: 12001038Abstract: The disclosed patterned wavelength-selective material and process for making the patterned wavelength-selective material uses patterned applied adhesive and a structurally weak wavelength-selective material that includes portions that contact the adhesive and break to remain in contact with the adhesive. In one embodiment, the wavelength-selective material comprises an array of sections with cuts at least partially through a wavelength-selective film at each section secured to the adhesive. In another embodiment, the wavelength-selective film comprises a transfer stack of layers.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Kui Chen-Ho, Douglas S.

Patent number: 11992521Abstract: A method is described for producing a pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide protein conjugate in which one or more activated pneumococcal polysaccharides of particular pneumococcal serotypes and carrier protein are separately lyophilized, the separately lyophilized polysaccharides and carrier protein are separately reconstituted in an organic solvent, and the reconstituted polysaccharide and carrier protein are then combined together by Tee-mixing and conjugated together to produce polysaccharide carrier protein conjugates. A plurality of conjugates, each comprising polysaccharides of a particular serotype, may be used to produce multivalent pneumococcal immunogenic compositions having a combination of conjugates for use in vaccines.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCInventors: Patrick Leonard Ahl, Akhilesh Bhambhani, Christopher Jon Farrell, Patrick McHugh, Morrisa C. Jones, Daniel D. Roth, Jessica R. Sinacola, Justin Stanbro, Matthew P. Watson, Emily Wen, Michael A. Winters

Publication number: 20240166372Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assembling a section of a fuselage of an aircraft. The method includes pulsing a half barrel section of the fuselage along a track in a process direction, utilizing an indexing feature associated with the half barrel section to determine a desired contour for a portion of the half barrel section, and enforcing the desired contour onto the half barrel section using components that enforce an inner mold line and components that enforce an outer mold line when the half barrel section is out of tolerance from the desired contour.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Daniel R. Smith, Darrell D. Jones

Publication number: 20240171416Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for low-power and high-sampling rate of analog signals received from sensors transported by host devices. The devices, systems and methods may be adapted to utilize GPS and PPS signals for synchronization with digitized signals generated based on the sampling of the analog signals that are simultaneously received and processed by multiple channels. Synchronized data packets may be recorded by the disclosed data acquisition systems, and may be further transmitted to host devices and remote devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Mark E Paulus, Daniel A Gentile, Kevin D Jones, Kyler D Callahan, Paul R Leary, Vladimir N Dobrokhodov, Kevin B Smith

Publication number: 20240158098Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for installing ribs and/or spars to a wing panel while a contour is enforced. Methods include suspending a wing panel beneath a shuttle that enforces the contour, advancing the wing panel through work stations via the shuttle, and installing a rib or a spar (or another wing panel) at a work station, while the contour is enforced. Other methods include locating a wing panel beneath a shuttle, coupling adjustable-length pogos to the wing panel at locations distinct from those corresponding with an installation location, e.g. for a rib or a spar, and controlling the length of the pogos to enforce a contour to the wing panel. Some systems include a track, work stations disposed along the track, and a shuttle to advance along the track and convey a wing panel to each of the work stations while enforcing a contour onto the wing panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Daniel R. Smith, Darrell D. Jones

Publication number: 20240158097Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assembling a structure. The systems and method including micro pulsing a structure along a track in a process direction by less than a length of the structure. The structure is indexed to one or more work stations by mating indexing features in a manufacturing excess of the structure to complementary features at the work stations. The work stations would the perform work on the structure at the work stations while the structure is indexed to the work stations. Iteratively repeating the micro pulsing and indexing and working upon the structure until it is ready to advance to the next assembly process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Daniel R. Smith, Darrell D. Jones, Frederick M. Swanstrom

Publication number: 20240158099Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assembling a wing. Methods include suspending an upper wing panel of an aircraft beneath a shuttle, translating a rib to a position it, and placing the rib into contact with, then affixing the rib to, the upper wing panel, while suspended. Some methods include installing ribs and spars to the upper wing panel, and joining a lower wing panel to the ribs and spars, while the upper wing panel is suspended. Some methods involve joining ribs to spars (e.g., all, or some) to produce a support structure that is then affixed to the upper wing panel. Systems include a shuttle that suspends an upper wing panel, and a cart that includes supports to hold a rib, a chassis to translate the rib to a position beneath the upper wing panel, and a lifting apparatus to lift the rib into contact with the upper wing panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Daniel R. Smith, Darrell D. Jones

Publication number: 20240085855Abstract: A wearable electronic device comprises a housing, a feedback device, a depth sensor, and a processing element. The feedback device is located in the housing and configured to generate a vibration. The depth sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a current depth of the housing. The processing element is in electronic communication with the feedback device and the depth sensor. The processing element is configured to determine the current depth based on the signal indicative of a current depth and control the feedback device to generate the vibration in a pattern indicative of a rate of change in depth based at least in part on the current depth.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Paul Benjamin H. Collins, Patrick M. Danko, Mark W. Gepner, Cody D. Jung, Daniel D. Jones
