  • Patent number: 9743164
    Abstract: A displaceable speaker assembly for a vehicle includes a housing, a speaker array rotatably coupled to the housing and including a plurality of electro-acoustic transducers (e.g., twiddlers), a drive unit coupled to the housing, and a lever assembly coupling the drive unit to the speaker array. The drive unit is operable to drive motion of the lever assembly, which, in turn, drives rotation of the speaker array relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20150072119
    Abstract: A multi-layer structure including an interlayer to relieve stress in the structure, a device including the structure, and a method of forming the device and structure are disclosed. The structure includes a substrate having a first coefficient of thermal expansion, an interlayer, and a coating having a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The interlayer reduces stress in the structure that would otherwise exist in the structure as a result of the difference in coefficients of thermal expansion of the substrate and the coating.

  • Publication number: 20070275181
    Abstract: Gas permeation barriers can be deposited on plastic or glass substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The use of the ALD coatings can reduce permeation by many orders of magnitude at thicknesses of tens of nanometers with low concentrations of coating defects. These thin coatings preserve the flexibility and transparency of the plastic substrate. Such articles are useful in container, electrical and electronic applications.

  • Publication number: 20050212227
    Abstract: An ice skate chassis is configured so that a user can adjust the pitch of the skate chassis between a plurality of discrete pitch positions. The pitch is adjusted by locking the ice blade at a desired angle relative to a bladeholder of the chassis. The blade can be positively locked at a plurality of discrete, repeatable angle positions so that the angle will not slip or creep during skating.

  • Patent number: 6900055
    Abstract: A method of making a silicone rubber having a structure adapted for growth of cells or living tissue, which comprises contacting a silicone rubber precursor with a biologically-acceptable sacrificial filler, curing the resultant mixture and removing the sacrificial filler to form a structured silicone rubber. The sacrificial filler is preferably an inorganic salt that has been ground, and the salt is selected from metal halides, metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates.

  • Publication number: 20040028317
    Abstract: The present invention is further directed to a method of deploying an extremely high-capacity network optimized for delivery of broadband video that exploits the best features of the centralized server architecture and the distributed server architecture, while overcoming the largest problems created by each. This hybrid architecture allows for the optimal exploitation of networking capital assets while the same time minimizing support, connectivity, and facilities costs.

  • Patent number: 6493638
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring volatile organic compounds in a gas includes a sensor chamber having a housing with a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a gas flow path from the gas inlet to the gas outlet, a set of baffles within the housing and positioned in the gas flow path, and a set of sensors within the housing and positioned in the gas flow path. Each sensor has an electrically conductive polymer whose electrical properties are dependent upon the presence of specific volatile organic compounds in the gas flow. Desirably, the set of baffles and the set of sensors are cooperatively positioned such that the time for gas to flow from the gas inlet to each of the sensors is substantially the same. The apparatus further includes a pump that removes the gas from the gas outlet of the housing, and an electronic circuit that measures the electrical properties of each of the sensors.

  • Patent number: 5195485
    Abstract: The invention is directed to reducing unburned hydrocarbons during engine idling. During idling, one cylinder bank of an engine is alternately deactived by fuel cut-off structure with another cylinder bank. Therefore, one bank works twice as hard and consequently produces much lower emissions. A timer alternates between the cylinder banks anywhere from fifteen seconds to four minutes.
