  • Patent number: 7464900
    Abstract: A folding, retractable dome for protecting a feature, such as a docking mechanism, a hatch or other equipment at an exterior surface of a space vehicle, includes a plurality of arcuate ribs, each having opposite ends respectively pinioned at opposite sides of the feature at the surface of the vehicle for rotational movement about an axis of rotation extending through the opposite ends and through an arcuate path of revolution extending over the feature, and a flexible cover attached to each of the ribs such that, in a deployed configuration of the dome, in which adjacent ribs are rotated apart from each other at a maximum relative angle therebetween, the cover is stretched generally tangentially between the adjacent ribs to form a generally arcuate shield over the feature, and in a retracted position of the dome, in which adjacent ribs are rotated together at a minimum relative angle therebetween, the cover is collapsed to define folded pleats between the adjacent ribs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2008
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Paul R. Clark, Ross H. Messinger
  • Patent number: 6959429
    Abstract: A software system for creating new data collection applications for processing input data. User information is provided through a series of screen interfaces to a first program portion, which uses a series of templates to construct an information structure. The new application contains no code but only functional information. The information provided by the user is stored in a data dictionary. A second program portion interprets and accesses the information structure created by the first program portion in order to process input data provided by the user. Certain parts/functions of the information structure can be modified, by both the first and second program portions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2000
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2005
    Assignee: Watterson-Prime Software, Inc.
    Inventors: Brenda G. Hatcher, Bruce E. Watterson, Paul R. Clark
  • Patent number: 5821050
    Abstract: A method for screening candidate antiviral drugs by monitoring papillomavirus replication in vitro in the presence of candidate drugs is provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 1996
    Date of Patent: October 13, 1998
    Assignee: Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    Inventors: Lex M. Cowsert, Paul R. Clark
  • Patent number: 4332430
    Abstract: Stability of connectors on printed circuit boards is achieved by using connectors having three legs for mounting the connector to the printed circuit board. Each leg has a shoulder stop that provides spacing above the circuit board.
    Type: Grant
