Patent number: 11912414Abstract: A cockpit center console armrest includes a base member configured for mounting to a floor, an extending member mechanically coupled to the base member, and an armrest mechanically coupled to the extending member. The extending member includes an inner telescoping member configured for sliding within an outer telescoping member for adjusting a height of the armrest. A lever exposed on an underside of the armrest is configured for actuating a release mechanism. The release mechanism is configured for releasably securing the inner telescoping member to the outer telescoping member. A pivot axis pivotably couples the extending member to the base member such that the extending member is rotatable for rotating the armrest between a deployed orientation and a retracted orientation.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: Frank Joseph Rowe, Merril Binford Williams, Jonathan Lynn Headrick, Michael John Seibel

Publication number: 20220137997Abstract: A system and method for self-installing a container platform. A method includes implementing an active version and a passive version of the container platform, wherein the active version actively runs on a computing infrastructure and the passive version is maintained in a storage area; loading an updater container from a container registry containing updates to the container platform into the container engine; running the updater container in the container engine, including: mapping the passive version from the storage area to the updater container, writing update data to the passive version, installing the passive version as a new active version, and rebooting the host operating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: John Victor Baboval, Elias Amissao Mendes Calocane, Stefano Panella, Simon John Rowe

Patent number: 8542966Abstract: Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies having at least one optical fiber disposed within a tube and/or cavity along with a powder or powder blend that is at least partially mechanically attached thereto. In one embodiment, the powder or powder blend includes a water-swellable component that is mechanically attached to about 30 percent or less of the surface area of the tube wall while still effectively blocking the migration of water along the tube. Other embodiments may have the powder or power blend mechanically attached to the tube, cavity, or the like at relatively high percentage levels of the total powder or powder blend within the assembly, thereby inhibiting unintentional migration along the tube, cavity, or the like. Other embodiments may use powder or powder blends that may or may not include a water-swellable powder to provide other desired characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Corning Cable Systems LLCInventors: Anne G. Bringuier, Rodney M. Burns, John A. Rowe, Catharina L. Tedder, Brian S. Witz

Publication number: 20130087322Abstract: An inflatable packer and control valve (10) for use on the outside of a casing (23), as used in wells and boreholes, and is operated by differential pressure against shear pins (126a, 196) and changes operating conditions by axial displacement of generally cylindrical sleeve valve members (84, 88) in a control valve (16). The control valve (16) uses relatively large annular flow passageways (140, 260, 310) for the flow of inflation fluid, especially cementitious slurries, to avoid blockage and allow reliable inflation and thus minimise the risk of under-inflation due to blockage of tubular passageways commonly used in prior art control valves. The control valve (16) also uses a locking mechanism (90, 272) to ensure positive engagement of a shut-in sleeve valve member (88) to ensure shut-in of the valve (88) to maintain inflation of the Inflatable packer (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2011Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: INFLATABLE PACKERS INTERNATIONAL PTY LTDInventors: Clement John Rowe, David Kingsley Knell

Patent number: 7992495Abstract: A chemical detonator includes a housing, having an open end and a closed end; and a detonation element located in the housing, into which a shock tube for initiating the detonation element intrudes, wherein the housing and the shock tube are of plastics construction and the housing is substantially cylindrical cup shape, and wherein the shock tube intrudes into, and is welded to, the open end to hold the shock tube at a desired spacing from the detonation element. The detonator includes a detonation element that includes a series of charges.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: African Explosives LimitedInventors: Anthony John Rowe, Cornelius du Plooy Conradie, Daniel Gerhardus Kolver, legal representative

Patent number: 7983520Abstract: Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies having at least one optical fiber and a water-swellable powder within a tube and/or cavity and methods for making the same. Fiber optic assemblies of the present invention use relatively low-levels of water-swellable powder while still effectively blocking the migration of tap water and/or saline solutions of 3% by weight along the tube and/or cavity. Furthermore, cleaning of the optical fibers is not necessary before connectorization like with conventional fiber optic cables that use a gel or grease. Generally speaking, at least some of the water-swellable powder is transferred to the inside surface of the tube, cavity, optical fiber or the like; rather, than being a loose powder that is able to migrate within the tube or cavity. Moreover, the existence of water-swellable powder within the fiber optic assembly or cable is nearly transparent to the craft since relatively low-levels are possible.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Corning Cable Systems LLCInventors: Anne G. Bringuier, Warren W. McAlpine, Christopher M. Quinn, John A. Rowe, Dave A. Seddon, Catharina L. Tedder, Gilbert D. Tugman, Brian S. Witz, George Ndayizeye
