Publication number: 20240116207Abstract: A sealant spreader device fills voids around a drilled hole with sealant in glued-in-rod (GIR) structures. A liquid sealant may be applied to the base of a drilled hole. A sealant spreader device is then inserted to the base of the drilled hole, through the sealant. The sealant spreader device is then withdrawn while rotating. The sealant spreader device includes winged sections having contours which force the sealant radially outward toward walls of the hole, into any voids around the circumference of the drilled hole, and leaves a thin layer of sealant around the circumference of the drilled hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc.Inventors: Steven E.

Publication number: 20230224018Abstract: A portable communication system for use in hostile and unknown environments. The system has a base station for control by an operator. The base station dispatches one or more unmanned drones into the hostile environment, where a forward agent, such a robot or investigative person can approach a suspected threat. Each drone has a payload of repeaters to be delivered as necessary to maintain line of sight communication from the forward agent back to the base station. Once delivered, the repeaters are mobile and can autonomously reposition to maintain or optimize line of sight communication. Communications from the forward agent back to the base station are then interpreted and analyzed for further action.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: Government of the United States as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Michael L.

Patent number: 11547962Abstract: A processing system for a slurry material. The system has a vibratory screen disposed atop an open-topped tank. A travel path for a vehicle is disposed directly above the screen and the tank. Slurry material dumped from the vehicle onto the screen is separated at the screen into a particulate-rich stream and a fluid-rich stream. The fluid-rich stream may be pumped to a cleaner so that it may be stored and re-used as drilling fluid. The screen may be a conveyor which removes the particulate-rich stream from above the tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: The Charles Machine Works, Inc.Inventors: Thomas M. Avalon, Richard Levings, Michael L. Anderson

Patent number: 11231254Abstract: A system for defeating a threat unmanned aerial vehicle. The system includes a friendly unmanned aerial vehicle, a capturing device configured to be suspended from the friendly unmanned aerial vehicle for arresting a threat unmanned aerial vehicle, and one or more load-limited release mechanisms for removably suspending a releasable portion of the capturing device from the friendly unmanned aerial vehicle. In certain embodiments, the load-limited release mechanisms are configured to release the entirety of the capturing device from the friendly unmanned aerial vehicle upon capture of the threat unmanned aerial vehicle. In other embodiments, the load limited release mechanisms are configured to release only a peripheral portion of the capturing device to reposition a captured unmanned aerial vehicle to a central portion of the capturing device for carrying the captured vehicle to a remote location.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Hunter I.

Patent number: 10809045Abstract: The forward firing fragmentation (FFF) munition includes a body, a flight system carried by the body and configured to maneuver the munition in flight, and a warhead carried by the body and including an explosive configured to detonate and expel fragments in a pattern. A near field barrier (near field barrier), such as the guidance system, is carried by the body in front of the warhead and communicatively coupled via a communication link to the flight system. A fragmentation adjustment system is configured to physically displace the near field barrier relative to the warhead while maintaining the communication link between the near field barrier and the flight system until detonation of the explosive.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Kaz I.

Patent number: 9911059Abstract: A process for recovering a vehicle includes obtaining a red green blue (RGB) image comprising a target on a recovery device. An input received from a user designates a target hue value and a target luminance value. The RGB image is converted to a hue value saturation (HSV) color model. The HSV color model is split into a hue value plane and a luminance value plane. A hue band pass filter and a luminance band pass filter are configured with appropriate thresholds. The configured hue band pass filter and the luminance band pass filter are applied to the hue value plane and the luminance value plane, respectively. The filtered hue value plane and the filtered luminance value planes are combined to yield a plurality of potential target pixel groupings. The most probable target is determined from the plurality of potential target pixels. The vehicle is directed to the target.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Michael L.

Patent number: 9617067Abstract: A method and means for disaggregating aggregated particulate. A housing contains a rotational motor and a vibrating motor also has an auger drivingly linked to the rotational motor. Legs extend from the housing in the same direction as the auger and the device rests upon the aggregated particulate. Upon driving the rotational motor, the auger bores through the aggregated particulate, thereby disaggregating particulate. The vibrating motor is also driven to vibrate and further disaggregate the particulate. A plate device with a vibrating motor attached is also used to disaggregate the particulate, such as by teeth extending from the bottom of the plate that are driven into the aggregate by the weight of the plate when vibrated.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Inventor: Michael L.
