Patent number: 10052826Abstract: A method for performing resin infusion into a dry reinforcement on a layup mandrel comprises placing resin at a resin zone on the mandrel; bagging the reinforcement and the resin with a bagging film; heating the resin while applying compaction pressure to the bagging film to cause the resin to be infused into the reinforcement; and creating a pressure differential outside of the bagging film over the resin zone to control rate and pressure at which the resin is infused into the reinforcement. As a result, the resin pressure and infusion rate are controlled independently of the compaction pressure on the reinforcement.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2011Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Robert Dennis Hawkins

Patent number: 7747702Abstract: A remote access device is disclosed for capturing, digitizing and communicating video signals from a host computer to a remote computer. The remote computer returns keyboard and mouse signals through the remote access device to the host computer to control the host computer as though the remote keyboard and mouse were directly connected to the host computer. The remote access device includes a circuit module interface for the host computer that allows the remote access device to operate independently of any operating system characteristics associated with the host computer.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Avocent Huntsville CorporationInventors: Robin L. Anderson, Ronald J. Perholtz, Dennis Hawkins

Patent number: 5695175Abstract: A joint, particularly for use with banister assemblies, comprises a ball (14) fixed into position within a socket (13). The balls (14) formed at either end of a plurality of balusters (12), and sockets (13), formed in a base rail (10) and hand rail (11) are preformed at a work shop or factory and subsequently used for construction of a banister assembly. During the construction of such an assembly, the base rail (10) is fixed into position and the hand rail (11) placed in parallel, vertically spaced-apart relation to it, supported loosely by newel posts at either end. Next, balusters (12) are inserted between the base rail (10) and hand rail (11) by inserting a bottom ball of each baluster (12) into the base rail sockets (13) and adjusting the hand rail (11) to enable insertion of the upper balls into the hand rail sockets (13). Once all balusters are in position, the hand rail (11) can be firmly fixed into place.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1994Date of Patent: December 9, 1997Assignee: Ellis Hawkins LimitedInventor: John Dennis Hawkins
