  • Patent number: 12115617
    Abstract: A belt sander includes a frame, a drive roller, an idler roller rotatably attached to a pivot arm, a first linear actuator configured for pivoting the pivot arm, a nose roller and a continuous abrasive belt wrapped around the drive roller, the idler roller and the nose roller. A drive motor rotates the drive roller, and an air cylinder attached to the frame and a nose roller spindle exerts a first force against the frame and a second force equal to and opposite the first force against the nose roller spindle. A first sensor senses a position of a belt edge, and a first controller receives a belt edge position signal from the first sensor and sends a command signal responsive to the position signal to the first linear actuator for expanding or contracting so as to pivot the pivot arm about a pivot point.

  • Publication number: 20240014571
    Abstract: Dielectric inserts providing positional support for components of antenna arrays. An antenna array includes a radiating element configured to receive or transmit an electromagnetic signal and an alignment horn attached to the radiating element, wherein the alignment horn comprises a detent end. The antenna array is such that the radiating element and the alignment horn are manufactured together as a single element by a three-dimensional printing process such that manufacturing the single element does not require a separate joining process for joining separate components.

  • Publication number: 20240014547
    Abstract: Dielectric inserts providing positional support for components of antenna arrays. A system includes a coaxial pin in electromagnetic communication with an antenna array, and a dielectric insert configured to provide positional support for the coaxial pin. The dielectric insert includes a shaft comprising a central hollow space defined by a wall, and further includes a plurality of fins attached to the shaft. The system is such that the dielectric insert forms an interference fit with one or more of the coaxial pin or the antenna array.
