Patent number: 11213722Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring a swimmer's speed and conveying the speed to the swimmer in real time includes a plurality of ultrasonic beacons each having a transducer configured to emit ultrasonic signals in a pool or other body of water within which the swimmer is swimming. A wearable, waterproof, ultrasonic receiver worn by the swimmer, receives the ultrasonic signals and generates corresponding signal data. The receiver's microcontroller captures and uses the signal data to calculate the swimmer's position and speed in real time, and conveys this information to a wearable, waterproof, user interface device worn by the swimmer, the user interface device including a near-eye display disposed on the swimmer's goggles.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Swimmetric, LLCInventor: Robert Stephen Tucker

Patent number: 10583734Abstract: A transfer case for a normally rear wheel drive vehicle with selective four wheel drive capabilities is provided. The transfer case has an intermediate gear driven lubrication pump, wherein the machining required for the lubrication pump is almost exclusively conducted from an interior side of the rear shell. The transfer case of the present invention also eliminates the requirement for a cover plate for the pump and an external lubrication tube. The transfer case of the current invention has an internal lubrication pump outlet which has a portion extending in a reinforcing mound of the rear shell thereby providing greater stiffness to a portion of the rear shell supporting the main input shaft rear bearings.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Thad S. Morton, Mallikarjun Rudagi, Michael Whitaker, Bo Yang, Stephen Tucker, Robert Harris

Publication number: 20190300434Abstract: Nano-sized powder particles of barium titanate are coated with silica yielding silica-coated particles having a silica coating thickness in a range of 2-5 nanometers. The silica-coated particles are sintered by application of pressure in a range of 35-50 megapascals and temperature in a range of 950-1050° C. The sintered quantity of material is cooled at a cooling rate in a range of 1-3° C. per minute at least until the temperature thereof is less than 120° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2018Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventors: Dennis Stephen Tucker, Terry D. Rolin, Curtis W. Hill

Patent number: 9523577Abstract: A vibrating gyroscope includes a piezoelectric strip having length and width dimensions. The piezoelectric strip includes a piezoelectric material and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) substantially aligned and polled along the strip's length dimension. A spindle having an axis of rotation is coupled to the piezoelectric strip. The axis of rotation is parallel to the strip's width dimension. A first capacitance sensor is mechanically coupled to the spindle for rotation therewith. The first capacitance sensor is positioned at one of the strip's opposing ends and is spaced apart from one of the strip's opposing faces. A second capacitance sensor is mechanically coupled to the spindle for rotation therewith. The second capacitance sensor is positioned at another of the strip's opposing ends and is spaced apart from another of the strip's opposing faces. A voltage source applies an AC voltage to the piezoelectric strip.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventor: Dennis Stephen Tucker

Patent number: 9435821Abstract: A single-axis accelerometer includes a housing defining a sleeve. An object/mass is disposed in the sleeve for sliding movement therein in a direction aligned with the sleeve's longitudinal axis. A first piezoelectric strip, attached to a first side of the object and to the housing, is longitudinally aligned with the sleeve's longitudinal axis. The first piezoelectric strip includes a first strip of a piezoelectric material with carbon nanotubes substantially aligned along a length thereof. A second piezoelectric strip, attached to a second side of the object and to the housing, is longitudinally aligned with the sleeve's longitudinal axis. The second piezoelectric strip includes a second strip of the piezoelectric material with carbon nanotubes substantially aligned along a length thereof. A voltage sensor is electrically coupled to at least one of the first and second piezoelectric strips.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Dennis Stephen Tucker, Pedro A.
