Patent number: 10816056Abstract: A vibration isolation device includes flexures and a multi-part mounting interface for coupling a frame that supports equipment to a structure. The flexures may include three pairs of flexures that allow movement in three orthogonal directions, to allow compliance and/or damp vibrations in the three directions. The flexures may surround the multi-part mounting interface, the parts of which are configured to move relative to one another. One of the parts of the mounting interfaces passes through another part of the mounting interface, such as in one or more holes in one of the interfaces. The device allows equipment mounted on the frame to be isolated from some or all of vibrations produced at the structure. In an example embodiment the vibration isolation system is used in mounting an optical sensor or device to an aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Eric E-Lee Chang, Emmanuel Fierro, Kirk A.

Patent number: 10567654Abstract: A light sensor system including a reference light source that moves in unison with a primary mirror and/or an inertial measurement device, and/or the reference light source is directed toward an obscured region of the light sensor system. The reference light source may allow for improved jitter compensation based on feedback of the reference light. The feedback may be representative of the elastic deformation of the optics and telescope optical axis. The improved jitter compensation may allow for the light sensor system (e.g., the housing and/or mirrors) to be built with less stiff materials, which can reduce the cost of manufacturing the present light sensor system compared to previously known optical sensor systems. In cases of high vibration levels which would otherwise degrade the resulting image quality after material stiffness property selections have been exhausted, the light sensor system may provide jitter compensation to improve video or still image quality.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: RAYTHEON COMPANYInventors: Kirk A. Miller, Christopher J. Baker, Steven A. Miller, Walter W. Norman, Lyale F. Marr, Richard L. Scott

Patent number: 9500836Abstract: An optical mount and mounting system including an optical device, a housing, and a plurality of optical mounts that couple the optical device to the optical housing. Each mount includes a sleeve attached to the optical device and each sleeve includes a bore. Studs are attached to the optical housing and each stud includes an outer bonding surface extending through the bore of each sleeve. Once the optical device is aligned properly, a curable material is deposited into the sleeve and cured between the sleeve and the stud, such that the curable material couples the sleeve and the stud to each other to provide a robust structural joint that minimizes self-induced stresses into the optic. A series of annular conical portions and corresponding surfaces are provided to retain registration of the optical device against dynamic shearing and bending forces. A method of aligning and mounting an optical device is provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Lyale F. Marr, Douglas J.

Patent number: 6610769Abstract: An adhesive useful in making recyclable carpet is prepared from a copolymer dispersion and a filler. The copolymer dispersion is prepared in an emulsion polymerization of a mixture of monomers comprising styrene, butadiene, an alkylacrylic acid monomer, in which the alkyl radical of the alkylacrylic acid monomer is a C1 to C6 branched or unbranched hydrocarbyl radical, and a combination of a second ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid with an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, in which the alkylacrylic acid monomer is present in a quantity predominating the combination of the second ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid with the ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid. The adhesive can be completely removed from the face fibers by applied shear in the presence of aqueous alkaline solution. Recyclable carpets made with the adhesive exhibit high delamination strength, both when wet and when dry.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2000Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Peter R.

Patent number: 4606230Abstract: A tensile testing apparatus comprises a magazine or holder for test specimens. The specimens are disposed horizontally with their end portions constrained by U-shaped channels. Slots at the lower ends of the channels are provided for pulling the lowermost test specimen therethrough under the action of robot fingers, the fingers pulling the specimen to a 90 degree slide whereupon the fingers are lowered and the test specimen slides down the slide and is rotated 90 degrees before coming to rest on seats at the ends of the slides. The now retracted robot fingers are turned 90 degrees and spread apart for movement toward the test specimen which is then gripped and lifted upwardly from the seats and then transferred to a testing machine, tested and then removed from the testing machine.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1985Date of Patent: August 19, 1986Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Richard L.
