Patent number: 8342227Abstract: A sunshade for regulating the entry of light into the interior of a vehicle. The sunshade includes a wind-up mechanism engaging a primary sheet. A secondary sheet is secured to the primary sheet. The primary sheet has a first end remote from the wind-up mechanism, the first end having a surface with a light reflecting value (A). The primary sheet has a second end adjacent the wind-up mechanism, the second end having a surface with a light reflecting value (B) which is greater or lesser than the light reflecting value (A). The secondary sheet has a first side facing the first end of the primary sheet, the first side having a surface with a light reflecting value substantially equal to value (A). The second side of the secondary sheet faces the second end of the primary sheet and has a surface with a light reflecting value substantially equal to value (B).Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Charles Stephen Haase

Publication number: 20070221783Abstract: An adaptive landing gear system for use in an aircraft includes a plurality of leveling struts. Each leveling strut includes an adaptive portion and landing pad. Each adaptive portion includes a fluid reservoir. A change in the volume of fluid in the fluid reservoir is configured to cause a change in extension of the corresponding landing pad. The adaptive portion of each leveling strut is in fluidic connection with the adaptive portion of at least one other leveling strut. The system includes a plurality of valves between the adaptive portions. Compression of the leveling strut forces fluid from the adaptive portion into the adaptive portion of at least one other leveling strut to extend the landing pad of the at least one other leveling strut. The valves prevent fluid from flowing back into the adaptive portion after compression.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2005Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Robert Parks, Robert Minelli, Stephen Haase, Neil Boertlein
