  • Architecture, methods, and apparatus for additive manufacturing and assembly of sparse structures, multifunctional structures, and components for space and terrestrial systems
    Patent number: 10213965
    Abstract: A truss-formation apparatus comprising two truss makers and a lateral stage, wherein the truss makers create trusses and each truss maker comprises thermal dies, heaters with temperature sensors, and mandrels; wherein the truss makers form trusses that comprise parallel truss elements and battens; wherein a pultrusion actuator pulls parallel truss elements down along a mandrel; wherein a batten actuator causes a thermal die to rotate around a mandrel forming battens that connect parallel truss elements to one another; and wherein the lateral stage comprises a thermal die and traverses the gap between the parallel trusses forming cross members that connect the trusses.

  • Independent Front Suspension with Pitch Control for Track-Type Tractor
    Publication number: 20130277125
    Abstract: A front suspension system for a track-type tractor includes a suspension saddle having first and second suspension arms pinned to the suspension saddle, the first and second suspension arms being connected to the machine tracks via first and second front idler respectively. Respective first and second hydraulic suspension assemblies support the first and second suspension arms, and a hydraulic suspension circuit fluidly links the first hydraulic suspension assembly to the second hydraulic suspension assembly such that a movement of either the first or the second hydraulic suspension assemblies causes an opposite movement of substantially the same magnitude in the other of the first and second hydraulic suspension assemblies, thereby allowing the first track and the second track of the track-type tractor to oscillate relative to one another.
