Publication number: 20220410347Abstract: Disclosed herein are components, systems, and methods for accessing and disassembling components of hazardous articles. A cutting head of a fluid jet system generates a fluid jet that exits an outlet toward a workpiece to be cut by the fluid jet. A shroud of the fluid jet system radially surrounds the outlet, and contains an inert substance through which the fluid jet travels between the outlet and the workpiece. A fluid jet system includes a sensor to capture an acoustic parameter of the impact of a fluid jet with a workpiece, and upon detection of a change in the acoustic parameter, discontinues generation of the fluid jet. A fluid jet system includes a sensor to measure thicknesses of various regions of the workpiece and a processor to select a path to cut the workpiece based on the measured thicknesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Mohamed A.

Patent number: 10106221Abstract: A bicycle frame assembly having a number of rotatable members configured to absorb shocks and impacts associated with operation of the bicycle. The assembly includes a frame constructed to support a rider and a chain stay having a rearward end that extends toward a wheel hub and a forward end that is pivotably connected to the frame. An absorber is pivotably connected to the forward end of the chain stay and extends to a rocker arm that is pivotably connected to the frame. A seat stay is pivotably connected to a rearward end of the rocker arm and extends to the rearward end of the chain stay. The rearward ends of the seat stay and the chain stay are pivotably connected to rotate about a common axis.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Trek Bicycle CorporationInventors: James Colegrove, Dylan Howes, Jose Gonzalez, Michael Hammond
