Patent number: 9758951Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic plumbing fixture fitting, such as an electronic faucet. The electronic plumbing fixture fitting includes a wand hose and a hose bracket. The hose bracket is operable to connect to a mounting shank and to the wand hose. The hose bracket is operable to position the wand hose between a mixed water outlet of a flow module and an inlet of the mounting shank such that a portion of the wand hose extends in a loop between the hose bracket and the inlet of the mounting shank. When installed, the hose bracket is in direct contact with the wand hose between the mixed water outlet of the flow module and the inlet of the mounting shank.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2013Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Moen IncorporatedInventors: Kenneth E. Evans, Terrence A. Pagano, Harshil Parikh, Inho Song, Eric M. Weber

Patent number: 9494206Abstract: A vibration damping insert configured to seat within a cell of a cellular structure and to span the cell cavity. The insert comprises a first portion formed of a first material and a second portion formed of a second material having lower stiffness than the first material. The first portion is arranged to constrain deformation of the second portion to be in a predetermined direction. The invention also comprises a vibration damping body comprising a cellular structure formed of a plurality of tessellating cells and a vibration damping insert as described. The vibration damping insert is mounted in at least one of the cells in the cellular structure. The invention also comprises a method of manufacturing a vibration damping body.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE plcInventors: Ramesh Rajasekaran, Marc-Antoine Boucher, Chrisopher W. Smith, Fabrizio Scarpa, Kenneth E. Evans

Publication number: 20150298421Abstract: The invention provides composite components, structures and method for producing composite components. A composite component has a negative effect Poisson's ratio and comprises a first component and a second component. The first component and the second component extend longitudinally relative to an axis, the first component being provided around the second component through one or more turns which are spaced longitudinally relative to the axis. A variation in the tensile load on the first component causes the radial position of the second component relative to the axis to vary.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2014Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventors: Patrick Barry Hook, Kenneth E. Evans, Jonathan Paul Hannington, Claire Hartmann-Thompson, Timothy Rex Bunce
