  • Stern tube seal system
    Patent number: 9970545
    Abstract: A seal system includes a face seal rotor ring including a wide sealing face preferably made of tungsten carbide. The stator ring includes a narrower sealing face confronting the rotor ring wide sealing face. The stator ring sealing face is preferably made of polyamide-imide and tapers to narrower widths rearwardly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2018
    Assignee: Mide Technology Corporation

  • Bussed haptic actuator system and method
    Patent number: 9836123
    Abstract: A bussed haptic actuator system includes a plurality of haptic actuators and a master control subsystem. Each haptic actuator includes a memory with an address storable therein and a slave controller subsystem configured to control the actuator in response to a received command signal. The master control subsystem is connected via a bus to the plurality of haptic actuators. The master control subsystem includes sequencer configured to determine which of the plurality of haptic actuators are to be activated and logic configured to provide, on the bus, a command signal including one or more addresses corresponding to haptic actuators to be activated as determined by the sequencer.

  • Self-powered anti-tamper sensors
    Patent number: 9798902
    Abstract: An anti-tampering system and method typically featuring a printed circuit board with anti-tamper protection circuitry powered by a power source. Switching circuitry is coupled between the power source and the anti-tamper protection circuitry. A transducer outputs a signal to the switching circuitry electrically connecting the power source to the anti-tamper protection circuitry in response to a tampering event. The switching circuitry otherwise disconnects the power source from the anti-tamper protection circuitry to save power.
