20090139359CABLE DRIVEN TACTOR - A tactor system transforms cable motion to tactor motion. A housing defining a plane is adapted for placement proximate to the skin of a user. A cable is operative to deform a tactor element in the housing, causing a portion of the element to move outwardly from the plane of the housing, thereby imparting a tactile sensation to the user's skin. For example, tension on the cable may cause a strip of flexible plastic or other suitable material to bend at a living hinge that moves outwardly from the plane of the housing. The cable may be driven by an actuator including. Two or more tactor elements may be disposed next to each other or in the same housing, with different elements being activated at different times to enhance the apparent frequency of the stimulus. For example, a reciprocating mechanism may be used to operate a pair of tactor elements out of phase with respect to one another. The cable may be controlled by a remote reciprocating mechanism, with a physical quick disconnect mechanism provided between the reciprocating mechanism and the cable.06-04-2009
20090184809RAPID PROTOTYPING AND MACHINE VISION FOR RECONFIGURABLE INTERFACES - A system and method including software to aid in generation of panels and control instruments rapidly generates a station that can support a variety of control interfaces. Rapid-Prototyped Panels, or RP-Panels, replicate existing systems (for simulation, training, gaming, etc.) or from new designs (for human factors testing, as functional product, etc.). The controls have tactile and visual characteristics similar or identical to their functional component counterparts such as buttons, knobs, switches, pedals, joysticks, steering wheels, and touch panels but are modular and use alternative data transfer modes (potentiometers, fiber optics, RFID, machine vision, etc.) to track and analyze the response of the controls. The response is then transmitted to the host programs. With this method a user can design and fabricate a reconfigurable interface to interact with virtual environments for various applications such as simulation, training, virtual instrumentation, gaming, human factors testing, etc.07-23-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110098370SULFONATED POLY 2-(PHENYL ETHYL) SILOXANE POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANES - The present invention provides polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) based upon sulfonated poly 2-(phenyl ethyl)siloxane (SPPES) prepared in a one-pot procedure. This includes the SPPES homopolymer as well as random copolymer of SPPES with various non-sulfonated polysiloxanes. Copolymerization with poly 2-(phenyl ethyl)siloxane greatly improves the mechanical stability of the film compared to a SPPES homopolymer. Proton conductivity of the copolymer, though it is less than that of the homopolymer and Nafion, is comparable to other PEMs in the literature. Both SPPES based membranes show good water retention at temperature greater than 100° C., which indicates they may be suitable for use in high temperature PEM fuel cells.04-28-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080240861Prefabricated levee apparatus and system - A levee apparatus and system for impeding and controlling the flow of fluids, primarily the flow of water as experienced in a flood or storm surge consisting of a light weight concrete structure with reinforcing steel rebar depending on the application. It is constructed from prefabricated sections with the tongue and groove ends designed to fit together which, when used in conjunction with a rubber gasket, will produce a water tight seal. The structure would be hollow with an opening along the unprotected face to provide a location for the surge water to enter. The structure would have flap-gates on the protected side and on the unprotected side. This would allow flood waters from the protected side to push open the flap-gate and exit the protected side based on the pressure equalization of the flood waters. Once inside the structure any water would then drain from the structure through the flap-gate on the unprotected side when the surge water diminishes. The structure could be placed simply on top of the existing soils or anchored in place to prevent potential changes in alignment. Two main modifications to this design include utilization of a rubberized base which would allow the top portion of the structure to rise into position, and the adjustment of the flap-gate position to change the use of the structure from solely a flood protection system to a retention control system.10-02-2008
