  • Articles including nanostructured surfaces and enclosed voids, and methods of making same
    Patent number: 12161013
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an article including a layer having a nanostructured first surface including nanofeatures and an opposing second surface, and an organic layer including a major surface attached to a portion of the nanofeatures. The nanostructured first surface includes protruding features that are formed of a single composition and/or recessed features. The nanofeatures and the major surface of the second layer together define at least one void. The present disclosure also provides a method of making the article including contacting nanofeatures of a layer having a nanostructured surface with a major surface of an organic layer and reacting at least one material to secure the two layers together. In addition, the present disclosure provides an optical information display and an OLED device including the article. The nanostructured surface of the article is protected from damage and contamination by the organic layer.

  • NOSE GEAR STEERING APPARATUS FOR SHIPBOARD OPERATIONS
    Publication number: 20190168865
    Abstract: A steering assembly includes a movable anchor. Movement of the anchor in a first direction is restricted. A first linkage is coupled to the anchor and a second linkage it rotatably coupled to the first linkage. The second linkage is configured to couple to a contactor. A drive mechanism moves the second linkage relative to the first linkage. At least one of moving the second linkage and moving the anchor maneuvers the contactor to a desired position.

  • Test stand for fuel components using low viscosity/high flashpoint fuel look-alike
    Patent number: 6260426
    Abstract: A test stand and method for calibrating aircraft fuel components which utilizes a fuel look-alike with a flash point above 180° F. and a viscosity below 2.8. Furthermore, the look-alike has the specific gravity and dielectric constant similar to that of aircraft fuel. An operator sets input parameters and adjusts the components until the desired output parameters are attained.
