  • Latch for Securing a Storage Container
    Publication number: 20140367974
    Abstract: A latch for securing a storage container is described, and which includes a longitudinally moveable spindle member, which extends and is otherwise biasingly supported by a closure member, and which is mounted on and moveable relative to the storage container; a pinion mounted on a distal end of the spindle, and which forcibly engages an elongated locking member; and a latch control collar mounted on the spindle, and which, when selectively moved, allows the spindle to be selectively rotated so as to locate the locking member in given positions so as to secure the closure member.

  • Self-aligning peptides modeled on human elastin and other fibrous proteins
    Patent number: 5969106
    Abstract: A polypeptide is provided that has a secondary structure characterized by at least three beta-sheet/beta-turn structures, and that is not a naturally occurring fibrous protein. Such polypeptides, illustrated by one modeled on elastin, are useful in prosthesis.

  • Time modulated position controller
    Patent number: 4077738
    Abstract: A time modulated position controller is provided comprising a hydraulic actuator having a cylinder and a piston slidably disposed in the cylinder thus defining a chamber within the cylinder. An electric solenoid valve functions upon actuation to permit fluid communication from a source of fluid pressure to the cylinder chamber while, conversely, upon deactuation of the solenoid valve, the valve functions to exhaust fluid from the cylinder chamber. A position transducer, which generates a signal in response to the axial position of the piston within the cylinder, is coupled to one input of a differential amplifier while a control line, having an analog signal is coupled to the second input of the differential amplifier. The error output from the differential amplifier is time modulated to produce a square wave with a variable duty cycle which in turn is used to activate the solenoid valve.
