Patent number: 12226866Abstract: A foreign object debris (FOD) collection drill attachment for attaching to a drill includes with a drill guide bushing holder, a chip breaker bushing, an air supply line, a chip evacuation line, a chip collection hopper, and an air manifold. The drill guide bushing holder includes an inlet channel receiving air from the air supply line, an outlet channel, and a holder center channel. The inlet channel and the outlet channel each open into the holder center channel through which an end protrusion of the chip breaker bushing extends to break up FOD on a drill bit of the drill. The cross-sectional area of the inlet channel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outlet channel, creating a Venturi effect between the inlet channel and the outlet channel to pull FOD away from the drill bit and through the chip evacuation line to the chip collection hopper.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.Inventors: Todd B.

Publication number: 20250046421Abstract: Systems and methods may use a mobile device communicatively coupled to a wearable device to present an exercise to a user. The systems and methods may modify a therapy calendar, for example, based on information determined from the exercise (e.g., repetitions completed, a duration completed, video, etc.), feedback from the user, or the like. A method may include receiving a control command from a wearable device communicatively coupled to a mobile device, the control command causing an action to be taken by the mobile device related to the exercise. The therapy calendar may be automatically modified, such as in response to determining a number of repetitions or a duration of an exercise. The modified therapy calendar may be presented on a user interface, such as on a display of the wearable device or the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Ted Spooner, Richard Wells, Travis Dittmer, Timothy R.
