Patent number: 11928015Abstract: A fault insertion device (FID) comprises a transceiver and an FPGA. The transceiver receives signals from a MIL-STD-1553/1760 communications bus. The FPGA evaluates the signals received from the communications bus against a set of rules stored by the FPGA. Based upon the set of rules, the FPGA can selectively modify messages received from the communications bus prior to transmission to a remote terminal or a bus controller that is configured to communicate on the communications bus.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Jason P. Krein, Jeremy W. Giron, Matthew S. Geuss, Robert Nevett, IV, Stephen T. Simpson, Roger Martin Kilgore, Jacob Edward Leemaster

Publication number: 20240068110Abstract: An anode apparatus for mounting on an external surface of a concrete structure to provide cathodic protection of metal members in the concrete uses a pre-assembled body which is typically elongate carrying a longitudinal anode, which can be sacrificial or impressed current, together with a supporting material having a front face for attachment to the surface and an impermeable plastic covering material at the rear face covering the anode and the supporting material when the front face is attached to the surface of the concrete. A channel defined on the front face is arranged to receive a layer of a conformable ionically conductive adhesive material for attachment to the external surface. A distance of the edge of the covering material is arranged to be similar to a distance of the metal from the external surface such that wetting and drying effects of environmental moisture are the same for the anode as for the metal components.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: John Chris Ball, David Whitmore, Martin Beaudette, Gerald Bruce Hiebert, George Sergi, David Simpson

Patent number: 8299155Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion inhibited from viscosity rising and excellent in mechanical stability in spite of a low fluorinated surfactant concentration. The invention provides an aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion comprising particles of a fluoropolymer as dispersed in an aqueous medium wherein a fluorinated surfactant (A) having a molecular weight lower than 1000 amounts to not higher than 100 ppm of the mass of the fluoropolymer, the aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion containing an anionic surfactant (B) other than the fluorinated surfactant (A) as well as a water-soluble polymer (C).Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Chie Sawauchi, Nobuhiko Tsuda, Wade Martin Simpson

Patent number: 5360294Abstract: A geosynthetic clay liner is provided for installation in landfill sites equipped with lower drainage systems. The self-sealing bentonite mat precludes substantial migration of bentonite downward during activation thereby avoiding clogging of the drainage systems with activated bentonite. Overlap extensions disposed on outer edges of the liners effectively contain the activated bentonite. The bentonite mat, or geosynthetic clay liner, does not require a first protective layer of geotextile material disposed below the bentonite clay liners to protect the drainage system.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1994Date of Patent: November 1, 1994Assignee: James Clem CorporationInventors: Richard Carriker, Martin Simpson, Thomas F. Hauck
