  • Patent number: 11662001
    Abstract: A redundant load transmission includes an input shaft configured to receive a rotational torque from a primary drive, an output shaft configured to transmit the rotational torque to an actuator, and a coupling assembly configured to connect the input shaft to the output shaft to transmit the rotational torque. The input shaft is configured to receive the rotational torque from the primary drive and transmit the rotational torque through the coupling assembly when the coupling assembly is in a primary drive configuration. The coupling assembly is configured to be disconnected from the input shaft and transmit a rotational torque to the output shaft from a secondary drive when the coupling assembly is in a secondary drive configuration.

  • Publication number: 20070141917
    Abstract: A plug for connecting to a multi-sized socket including a widen plug section of a first dimension having a first plug section for connecting to a first portion of a device and a second plug section for connecting to a second portion of the device; a narrow plug section of a second dimension having a third plug section for connecting to a third portion of the device and a fourth plug section for connecting to a fourth portion of the device. The first dimension is larger than the second dimension.

  • Patent number: 6301108
    Abstract: A fire containment and air flow control mechanism for a device or chassis housing electronic components. The electronic components generate heat during operation of the device. An aperture in the housing permits warm air generated within the chassis to escape into the environment to cool the circuit board or card. A trap door is provided for the aperture for purposes of fire containment. Normally, the trap door is open, allowing the warm air to escape through the aperture. The trap door is moveable relative to the housing between a first position, in which the trap door does not cover the aperture, and a second position, in which the trap door substantially obstructs the aperture. A temperature sensitive material, such as a nylon or other polymeric filament that melts when subject to sufficient heat or flame, is operatively connected to the trap door. The temperature sensitive material is transformed, e.g.
