Publication number: 20230397684Abstract: A helmet system includes a helmet shell and a battery interface. The battery interface may be disposed on an exterior of a rear portion of the helmet shell. The battery interface may include a base, a mechanical latch feature, and a magnetic latch feature. The mechanical latch feature may be configured to interface with a complementary mechanical feature of the battery to contribute to a releasable maintenance of the battery within the battery receiving slot. The magnetic latch feature may be configured to interface, via a magnetic bias, with a complementary magnetic feature of the battery to contribute to the releasable maintenance of the battery within the battery receiving slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Matthew G. Bevan, Kenneth R. Grossman, Jason E. Tiffany, Jessica E. Harsono

Patent number: 10259129Abstract: Compliant manipulators are provided, in which the manipulators include a plurality of slideably interlocked filaments each having a proximate end and a distal end. The interlocked filaments can be formed from a flexible material. The compliant manipulators can also include at least one filament-actuating device operatively connected to the respective distal ends of the plurality of slideably interlocked filaments. The at least one filament-actuating device can be manipulated directly or remotely to push and/or pull the respective filaments to impart a desired movement to the manipulator. The stiffness or flexibility of the manipulators can also be controlled to provide varying degrees of stiffness during use.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Mehran Armand, Matthew S. Moses, Michael D. Kutzer, Jason E. Tiffany

Patent number: 9927060Abstract: A vehicle includes a head section having a selectively actuated first plurality of claws, a tail section having a selectively actuated second plurality of claws, and a linear actuator operably coupling the head section to the tail section. The linear actuator is configured to be selectively extended and retracted. The vehicle is configured to move forward within an enclosed space by extending the linear actuator, while the first plurality of claws is not actuated and the second plurality of claws is actuated, then retracting the linear actuator, while the first plurality of claws is actuated and the second plurality of claws is not actuated.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Matthew S. Moses, Christopher Y. Brown, Charbel G. Rizk, Jason E. Tiffany, Michael D. Kutzer, David H. Scheidt

Patent number: 8931951Abstract: A time-temperature indication device includes a first reservoir having a fluid disposed therein, and a capillary tube. The capillary tube is disposed proximate to the first reservoir to receive fluid from the first reservoir responsive to changes in viscosity of the fluid based on changes in temperature. The capillary tube restricts flow of the fluid out of the first reservoir into the capillary tube to enable fluid flow only in a single direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2012Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: John A.
