Publication number: 20230368954Abstract: The present disclosure provides a solenoid assembly that includes a static housing, a plunger disposed within the housing and translatable along an actuation axis in response to a magnetic actuation force, an intermediate element disposed within the housing and surrounding at least a portion of the plunger that is also translatable along the actuation axis in response to a magnetic actuation force. A coil arrangement is disposed within the housing and provides a first and second magnetic actuation force in response to electrical excitation thereof. The coil arrangement is arranged such that the first magnetic actuation force is configured to translate the intermediate element and the plunger together with respect to the static housing, and the second magnetic actuation force is configured to translate the plunger with respect to the intermediate element. This can improve the stroke length of the solenoid assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventor: David James Tate

Patent number: 10329794Abstract: A fence post having an eyelet with wire capture structure to capture a fence wire passing through the fence post and prevent it from escaping once the fence post has been inserted into the ground. Tension is applied to the fence wire during insertion of the fence post into the ground, the wire being restrained from passing through the eyelet once the lock bar has been allowed to fall into a closed position. This then ensures that each length of wire is restrained in place under tension.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: FERAL PTY LTDInventor: Rodney James Tate

Patent number: 8022301Abstract: This invention relates to collet-type splices and collet-type dead ends and methods for splicing together two electricity transmission cables or terminating one electricity transmission cable, the cables comprising a composite core surrounded by a conductor. The collet-type fittings use a collet inside a collet housing to hold the composite cores without penetrating or otherwise weakening the core itself. The composite cores can be stripped of the aluminum conductor to provide a bond between the collet and the composite core. The collet seats within the collet housing thereby holding the composite core with frictional forces. The design of the collet enables the composite core to stretch longitudinally through the collet to strengthen the frictional hold.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: CTC Cable CorporationInventors: David Bryant, Orlando Hernandez, James Tate, Doug Pilling
