Patent number: 11486428Abstract: A fastener comprises a housing, a socket, a pintle and a locking feature. The housing includes a shaft, a central bore that extends axially at least partially through the housing and a ball lock aperture extending from the bore. The socket extends into the housing adjacent to the first end face, and is configured such that rotation of the first socket rotates the fastener. The pintle is positioned within the bore and includes an actuation end and a rod that extends axially from the actuation end. The rod includes a ball transitioning surface and a ball locking surface. The pintle is moveable axially within the bore between a designated lock position where the ball locking surface of the pintle is aligned in register with each ball lock aperture, and a designated unlocked position where the ball lock surface of the pintle is moved axially away from each ball lock aperture.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Omni Aerospace, Inc.Inventor: John J. O'Neill

Patent number: 9248537Abstract: A fastener comprises a housing, a pintle and a locking feature. The housing includes a shaft, a central bore that extends axially at least partially through the housing and a ball lock aperture extending from the bore radially out through the shaft. The pintle is positioned within the bore and includes an actuation end and a rod that extends axially from the actuation end. The rod includes a ball transitioning surface and a ball locking surface. The pintle is moveable axially within the bore between a designated lock position where the ball locking surface of the pintle is aligned in register with each ball lock aperture urging a locking ball through the ball lock aperture, and a designated unlocked position where the ball lock surface of the pintle is moved axially away from each ball lock aperture allowing the locking ball to recess into the housing.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: OMNI AEROSPACE, INC.Inventor: John J.

Patent number: 7997917Abstract: An environmentally sealed electrical connector comprises a plug connector and a complimentary socket connector. The plug connector includes a plug body, a plug shell, a plug boot, a backshell and an interfacial seal. The socket connector includes a socket body, a socket shell, a socket boot and a backshell. The plug boot and the socket boot each have a plurality of rupturable features, each feature in register with a corresponding aperture through the corresponding connector body. The interfacial seal seats between the plug connector and socket connector when the plug connector is mated to the socket connector. The interfacial seal also has a plurality of rupturable features corresponding to a predetermined contact layout. Thus, when the socket connector is mated with the plug connector, a connector is provided, which prevents contaminants from penetrating the connection.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Omni Aerospace, Inc.Inventors: John J. O'Neill, Christopher E. Schaefer

Patent number: 4313809Abstract: A novel process for improving the operation of silicon-on-sapphire devices by removing or minimizing edge current leakage. The reduction in leakage current is accomplished by subjecting the completed device to a sputtering operation and depositing thereon a layer of, for example, aluminum which is subsequently removed prior to scribing and dicing.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1980Date of Patent: February 2, 1982Assignee: RCA CorporationInventors: Carl W. Benyon, Jr., John J. O'Neill, Jr.
