20110094834 | BRAKE CALIPER WITH BRAKE PAD TIMING AND RETRACTION CONTROLLER - A brake caliper is provided with a timing and retraction controller that that adjusts brake timing, eliminates parasitic brake losses and dampens out-of-plane vibration between the brake pad and rotor. The brake caliper includes a housing disposed over a brake rotor; first and second opposing brake pads extendably and retractably mounted on opposite sides of the caliper housing, brake pistons that extend and retract the brake pads into and out of frictional engagement with the rotor, and brake pad timing and retraction controllers disposed on opposite sides of the caliper housing. Each controller includes a Belleville spring or other resilient member with a short compression travel limited to between about 1.50 mm and 0.025 mm. The short stroke Belleville spring of each controller applies a hold-off force against the extension force of the brake pistons that slightly delays brake pad extension and slightly reduces brake pad clamping force against the rotor, thereby advantageously providing a front wheel braking bias when applied to the rear wheels of a vehicle. The restorative force applied by the short stroke Belleville forcefully and uniformly retracts the brake pad from the rotor, eliminating parasitic brake losses, and dampening out-of-plane vibration between the brake pad and rotor. | 04-28-2011 |

An outer brake pad is fixedly connected to the caliper body and is moved into engagement with an outer side of the brake rotor when the caliper body is moved along the mounting assembly as a result of the inner brake pad extending into engagement with the inner side of the brake rotor. The mounting assembly includes a resilient member, which may be one or Belleville springs, that restores the caliper body to an initial position that positively disengages the outer brake pad from the outer side of the brake rotor when the inner brake pad is retracted out of engagement with the inner side of the brake rotor, thereby preventing brake drag after the parking brake is released. | 03-14-2013 |

20140178978 | DISTANCE-BASED QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS USING A CAPILLARITY-BASED ANALYTICAL DEVICE - Apparatus for quantitative analytical measurements using capillarity-based analytical devices is described. Porous cellulose (i.e., common filter paper) may be used as the reagent carrier for the analyses. Hydrophobic materials may be printed onto the paper to generate paths that restrict liquid flow by capillary action to defined regions. At least one colorimetric reagents effective for reacting with a specific analyte is deposited along a capillary flow path generated in the device. Upon placing the liquid containing the analyte on one end of the path, the liquid moves along the circuit by capillary action, and the flowing analyte reacts with reagent generating color along the flow path until all of the analyte is consumed. Analyte quantification is achieved by measuring the length of the colored portion along a flow path employing a direct-reading measurement scale. Analyses are demonstrated for chemical detection modalities including: enzymatic action, metal complexation, and nanoparticle aggregation, but the present apparatus may be used for a wide range of analytes. | 06-26-2014 |
