Patent number: 7906735Abstract: A seal including a base and a conductor mounted to conduct current from a source disposed on a first side of said base to a sink disposed on a second side of said base. In the illustrative embodiment, the base is annular (ring-shaped) and fabricated of airtight, watertight and/or electrically insulating and/or conductive material such as rubber, Teflon®, silver impregnated Teflon®, or other suitable substance. In the illustrative embodiment, the conductor is a single strip of conductive material and the base has a recess to allow for deflection thereof. In the best mode, plural conductors are mounted within the annular base. Each conductor has a brush at each end thereof. The brushes are provided by a split(s) at the end of each strip effective to create multiple fingertips. Each strip is secured at an angle in a slot in the base and retained further by an anchor. The anchor is integral with the strip and transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: James D. Strayer, Daniel P. Brown, Patricia S. Dean

Patent number: 7878814Abstract: Electrically conductive bearing retainers create an electrical path between the static and dynamic sides of a rotating joint to block EMI radiation from entering or leaving a system. Concentric annular inner and outer bearing retainers with an array of conductive contact members therebetween are installed in contact with the inner and outer races of a dynamic bearing interface. Each contact member includes a base and tips. The outer bearing retainer ring has a recess for mounting a contact member and a notch for positioning the contact member tips to make contact with the inner bearing retainer ring. The inner bearing retainer ring includes a conductive contact surface. The contact member tips contact the conductive contact surface to create a dynamic shield between an inner bearing race and an outer bearing race.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Patricia D. Chin, Daniel P. Brown, James D. Strayer

One or several storage housings are attached offset from a drive shaft housing for improved torque transfer from a hand to the tool head, integral storage of work pieces, optimized use of palm torque during use, and better overall grasping. The hand tool is also equipped with a retractable or nonretractable torque drive shaft designed to allow the fingers and thumb of a user to be rotated freely when the tool is in palm grip and capable of transmitting torque through the housing when an axial pressure force is placed along the drive shaft to engage the tool head with the housing. The drive shaft can also be reversed to create a prolongation shaft or placed in another opening of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2008Publication date: September 30, 2010Inventor: Daniel P.
