Publication number: 20240191976Abstract: A projectile partition that serves as a barrier from ballistics and explosions is disclosed. The projectile partition may serve a traditional role of providing a visual barrier while also providing protection from ballistics and explosions originating from an opposite side of the ballistic screen. The projectile partition may comprise one or more panels or plates that are adapted to repel ballistics and blasts. The projectile partition may further comprise a series of interconnected members that together form a frame which serves to position the one or more panels in a relatively upright position so as to form a barrier against ballistics and explosion blasts.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: June 13, 2024Applicant: Defenshield, Inc.Inventors: William Collins White, Jordan William Settle, Tanner Huff

Patent number: 11999490Abstract: A system includes an outflow vent that has a cap releasably mounted to a panel within an internal cabin of a vehicle. The cap is elongated from a first end of the cap to a second end of the cap opposite the first end. The cap has a base wall that is overlaid on the panel and defines at least one slot therethrough. The cap receives an airflow generated by an airflow generator, and the at least one slot emits the airflow from the cap to form an air curtain within the internal cabin.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Bryce Avery Vandyke, Douglas Dean Maben, Jonathan William Collins, Tateh Wu, Anders Michael Pedersen, Edmund Fidelino P.

Publication number: 20200255991Abstract: A fabric comprising a plurality of textile fibres, wherein said plurality of fibres comprises fibres that have been selected from two groups of fibres. The first group of fibres comprises multiple fibres having a first average length, and the second group of fibres comprises multiple fibres having a second average length, the first average length being shorter than the second average length. Further, the fibres of the first group have a first length variance being greater than a second length variance of the fibres of the second group. Thereby, the elongation properties of the fabric is changed in respect of the cross direction of the fabric, whilst maintaining almost unchanged strength in the longitudinal direction at a low basis weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: Jacob Holm & Sons AGInventors: Geoffrey William Collins, Eric Mariani, Nicolas Landspurg
