Patent number: 5971411Abstract: An extruded skateboard truck base (11), which has an angled aperture for a cushion (13) on which a hanger (12) rests. A pivot bolt (14) holds hanger (12) to base (11) which allows weight placed on either side of the skateboard (22) to put pressure on cushion (13) thereby shortening the wheelbase on one side and lengthening it on the other, facilitating the turn. A slotted hole (20) in base (11) allows hanger (12) to move up and down on cushion (13) for a smoother ride. The straight down pressure exerted on cushion (13) eliminates the need for any adjusting mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1997Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Inventors: John P. Jones, John R. Jones

Patent number: 4885593Abstract: Circular open ended waveguide feeds for compact ranges. Feeds according to the present invention employ smaller apertures for a given frequency of operation than a standard compact range feed. According to a first embodiment of the invention, a circular open ended waveguide feed is constructed to operate with its lowest desired frequency of operation at approximately 1.01 times the cutoff frequency. A second embodiment includes a circular open-ended waveguide loaded with ridges to lower the cutoff frequency further and thus further reduce aperture size for a given bandwidth to radiate a broader beamwidth.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1986Date of Patent: December 5, 1989Assignee: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.Inventors: Doren W. Hess, Jr., John R. Jones

Patent number: 4774871Abstract: A braiding machine of the maypole form having co-acting horngear assemblies positioned in a cylindrical housing and arranged to drive spool carriers along a double undulating and intersecting drive track groove as groups in opposed directions. The form of the groove is such as to avoid discontinuities both in normal and in tangential components of acceleration forces on the spool carriers. Drive is transmitted from the horngear assemblies to the spool carriers by drive forks each carried on a pivot shaft mounted for oscillating rotation through restricted arc on the respective horngear assembly. Oscillating rotation of the drive forks is effected by a cam follower arrangement engaging a cam track such that the drive forks propel the spool carriers along the guide track groove with constant or substantially constant linear velocity.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1987Date of Patent: October 4, 1988Assignee: Babcock Wire Equipment LimitedInventors: John R. Jones, John P. Ricketts, Maurice C. Williams

Patent number: 4740790Abstract: Method for measuring polarization of antennas utilizing three-antenna methods and far-field scanning techniques where the measured data is processed via digital Fourier transform. In one method, the normalized received phasor voltage for transmission between each of three antennas measured pairwise is digitally recorded as a continuously sampled function of relative roll angle between the antennas as one of the antennas is rolled in a continuous manner. The recorded data is digitally processed via a one-dimensional Discrete Fourier Transform to yield transformed quantities relating to the polarization of the antennas under test. From these quantities, standard polarization parameters including the circular polarization ratio, axial ratio, tilt angle and sense of the electric field polarization ellipse of each antenna may be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1985Date of Patent: April 26, 1988Assignee: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.Inventors: Doren W. Hess, Jr., John R. Jones
