Publication number: 20240118500Abstract: A system comprises an optical fiber, a manipulator assembly, and a control unit. The manipulator assembly comprises a chassis, an optical fiber cleaning assembly housed within the chassis, and a drive mechanism housed within the chassis. The optical fiber cleaning assembly comprises a cleaning tape, a first spool on which the cleaning tape is wound, and a second spool onto which the cleaning tape is drawn after use. The drive mechanism is configured to advance the cleaning tape from the first spool to the second spool such that a portion of the cleaning tape wipes a face of the optical fiber. The control unit is configured to control the drive mechanism to advance the cleaning tape.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Matthew D. Rohr Daniel, Troy K. Adebar, David W. Bailey, Stephen J. Blumenkranz, Edward P. Donlon, Mark E. Froggatt, Christopher M. Major, Randall L. Schlesinger

Patent number: 8164485Abstract: Embodiments of the invention permit flight paths (current and planned) to be viewed from various orientations to provide improved path and terrain awareness via graphical two-dimensional or three-dimensional perspective display formats. By coupling the flight path information with a terrain database, uncompromising terrain awareness relative to the path and ownship is provided. In addition, missed approaches, path deviations, and any navigational path can be reviewed and rehearsed before performing the actual task. By rehearsing a particular mission, check list items can be reviewed, terrain awareness can be highlighted, and missed approach procedures can be discussed by the flight crew. Further, the use of Controller Pilot Datalink Communications enables data-linked path, flight plan changes, and Air Traffic Control requests to be integrated into the flight display of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Lawrence J. Prinzel, III, Alan T. Pope, Steven P. Williams, Randall E. Bailey, Jarvis J. Arthur, Lynda J. Kramer, Paul C. Schutte

Patent number: 7737867Abstract: A system for multi-modal cockpit interface during surface operation of an aircraft comprises a head tracking device, a processing element, and a full-color head worn display. The processing element is configured to receive head position information from the head tracking device, to receive current location information of the aircraft, and to render a virtual airport scene corresponding to the head position information and the current aircraft location. The full-color head worn display is configured to receive the virtual airport scene from the processing element and to display the virtual airport scene. The current location information may be received from one of a global positioning system or an inertial navigation system.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Jarvis J. Arthur, Randall E. Bailey, Lawrence J. Prinzel, III, Lynda J. Kramer, Steven P. Williams

Publication number: 20090226617Abstract: A method of producing paperboard and cartons made therefrom is described incorporating a waterproof or water resistant coating applied to the interior of the carton except for areas intended for gluing. A coating material (122) is applied to the surface of an applicator roll (110), and a portion of the coating material is then removed from the roll. Contact between a paperboard web (150) and the roll transfers coating material to the web, creating a coated surface except for an uncoated stripe (237). A carton blank (300) may be formed from the coated web with the uncoated portion of the carton blank cut from the uncoated stripe.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2006Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventors: Randall E. Bailey, William G. Lanier

Patent number: 5016761Abstract: In a transportable display module for a plurality of containers, a base member supports a first layer of containers, and a plurality of layers each comprising a tier sheet alternate with a plurality of layers of containers. The tier sheets are identical, with a circumferential skirt surrounding each tier sheet. The top surface of each tier sheet includes an array of container bottom receiving recesses. The bottom surface includes an array of container top receiving recesses disposed concentric with the bottom receiving recesses. Each tier sheet has about its circumferential skirt an outwardly extending flange, and the module is surrounded by plastic film. The base member is a single piece including an upper portion having an additional one of the tier sheets, with a lower portion affixed thereto and including a plurality of supporting legs. Overlay sheets provide for loading other forms of containers, and a cap sheet enabling stacking of multiple modules is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1989Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: The Mead CorporationInventors: David C.
