Patent number: 8931738Abstract: A protective cover (10) for an instrument dome (12) extending from a body (20) of a vehicle, such as a missile. The cover (10) includes multiple segments (14 and 16) having trailing ends (18) connectable to the body (20) at joints (22) that allow for rotational movement. The cover (10) further includes a releasable holder (26) that includes a retention device (28) that holds leading ends (24) of the segments (14 and 16) together, and a release mechanism (30) for causing the retention device (28) to release the leading ends (24). The joints (22) hold the trailing ends (18) of the segments (14 and 16) to the body (20) through a predetermined range of motion beyond which the segments (14 and 16) will be released to separate from the body (20) when the segments (14 and 16) rotate beyond the predetermined range.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Phillip Craige White, Robert L. Sisk, III, Brian S. Scott, Larry A. Coleman, Gary H. Johnson

Patent number: 7338598Abstract: A fluid treatment system for reducing odor, bacteria, and biological oxygen demand from a fluid having at least one tube, a control box, and a pump. The at least one tube has a plurality of conductors in electrical communication with the control box. The control box controls the level of electrical communication to the plurality of conductors and the flow rate of the pump. The principle use is for biomass material derived from animals, however other fluids will benefit from this invention. For example, fluids derived from plants and humans as well as industrial and commercial applications will benefit from this application.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Elm Technologies, L.L.C.Inventors: Jamel Bourazak, Larry Coleman

Publication number: 20070065168Abstract: The present invention relates to an article, system and method for thermally conditioning an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus may incorporate a heating device and a component that includes a lubricant. The component including the lubricant may be preheated before movement and then rotated at reduced speeds prior to a printing operation. This may occur during an image forming apparatus cold start or power saver mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2005Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: Larry Coleman, Douglas Hamilton, Johnny Sears, Larry Stahlman, Casey Wilson

Publication number: 20060133867Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for the reduction of wrinkles formed in sheets of paper media which may contain various levels of absorbed moisture across the surface and which are processed through a fuser section of a printing or copying device. Protruding features may be provided laterally spaced apart by a desired paper width at the fuser nip to create a pressure contact area which constrains the outer longitudinal edges of the sheet of paper as it enters the nip.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2004Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: Larry Coleman, Russell Lucas, Jason Romain, Larry Stahlman

Publication number: 20060120738Abstract: A system and method that controls the amount of energy accumulated at the collection location of a printing device to prevent image transfer or offsetting between sheets of stacked media, in particular, media of high thermal capacitance. This may be accomplished by regulating one or more of a combination of factors, including media process speed and sheet interval or pause time, while providing adequate fusing of the toner and an efficient printing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2004Publication date: June 8, 2006Inventors: Brian Bartley, Larry Coleman, Kevin Schoedinger, Johnny Sears

Patent number: 4574863Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for closing or opening an aisle in a supermarket or similar store. The apparatus includes a support member having a vertical surface having upper and lower U-channels adapted to slidingly receive a first panel. A second panel is hinged to the first panel by a biased hinge. A bar member having a finger is attached to the upper channel and is adapted to fit into or be raised from a position where the finger inhibits sliding movement of a first panel which is adapted to be slid between unextended and extended positions, with the second panel capable of rotation between folded and unfolded positions in which the biased hinge releasably holds the second panel in said positions.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1983Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: Melrose Displays, Inc.Inventors: Larry Coleman, Fred Van Duyne
