Publication number: 20240085623Abstract: According to various embodiments, an array of elements forms an artificially-structured material. The artificially-structured material can also include an array of tuning mechanisms included as part of the array of elements that are configured to change material properties of the artificially-structured material on a per-element basis. The tuning mechanisms can change the material properties of the artificially-structured material by changing operational properties of the elements in the array of elements on a per-element basis based on one or a combination of stimuli detected by sensors included in the array of tuning mechanisms, programmable circuit modules included as part of the array of tuning mechanisms, data stored at individual data stores included as part of the array of tuning mechanisms, and communications transmitted through interconnects included as part of the array of elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Daniel Arnitz, Patrick Bowen, Seyedmohammadreza Faghih Imani, Joseph Hagerty, Roderick A. Hyde, Edward K.Y. Jung, Guy S. Lipworth, Nathan P. Myhrvold, David R. Smith, Clarence T. Tegreene, Yaroslav A. Urzhumov, Lowell L. Wood, JR.

Patent number: 8720676Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a pitch for a modular conveyor belt. In some embodiments, the pitch may include a link having a first leg, including an opening formed in the first leg. The opening may be defined by a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. In addition, the pitch may include a projection associated with the first edge. In a first position, the projection may extend substantially perpendicularly away from the first edge towards the second edge so that a free end of the projection is positioned proximate the second edge. Also, the projection may be configured to deflect to a second position, in which the free end of the projection is deflected within the opening towards one of the first side edge and the second side edge.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Ashworth Bros., Inc.Inventors: Darroll Joseph Neely, Joseph A. Bowen

Patent number: 5135422Abstract: A bubble wand toy is provided for use with a soap solution. The bubble wand toy includes a tubular handle formed from a substantially rigid tubular plastic. A flexible tubular material is bent into a loop and the opposed ends of the loop are inserted into an end of the tubular handle. The relative dimensions of the flexible tubular loop and the tubular handle are such that the opposed ends of the tubular loop are frictionally retained in the tubular handle. An adhesive or sealant may be disposed at the interface of the tubular loop and the tubular handle to retain the tubular loop and handle together and to prevent a flow of soap solution through the tubular handle. An outer collar may be disposed over the tubular handle generally at the interface of the loop and the handle to prevent a flow of soap solution along the outside of the tubular handle.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1991Date of Patent: August 4, 1992Inventor: Joseph Bowen
