20110074332METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ELIMINATING STRUCTURAL MODES IN A SERVO MECHANISM EMPLOYED TO CONTROL A FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE - A servo system is provided for controlling movement of a flexible structure having multiple masses and elements. Each element couples a respective two of the masses and functions as a spring when the flexible structure is subject to a linear or rotational input at or above a frequency at which the respective element exhibits flexure. The servo system includes multiple sensors, where each sensor is disposed relative to a respective one of the masses to sense a respective acceleration. A motor having a torque input may operatively be configured to output one of a linear or rotational force on the first mass based on a torque signal present on the torque input. A servo controller that receives each sensed acceleration from each sensor may generate a compensation feedback signal based on a sum of sensed accelerations. The torque signal may be output to the motor based on the compensation feedback signal.03-31-2011

20090285950Efficient food wraps - A more-efficient edible food wrap eliminates the excess material of conventional wrap food products, providing effective containment while reducing the amount of raw materials used in production. Unused materials are thus available for additional production, extending quantities and thereby lowering producer costs. Easily fabricated on an automated or manual, multiple or individual basis, these improved structures provide easier assembly by hand or machine and selectable control of contained fluids. Further, these wrapper structures reduce collections of unconsumed food waster by including less of the often-discarded overlapped portions of wrap food products. These wrap designs are also applicable to egg rolls, pizza-like products, and other dough-based comestibles.11-19-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080273947Arrester cable support disc loader - An arrester cable support disc loading system uses a trailer mounted hydraulic piston that has a fork attached thereto. The swedge head of an arrester cable is attached to a support tool that has approximately the same diameter as the swedge head. Discs are loaded onto the handle end of the support tool and are secured to a bracket on the device such that the fork straddles the disc filled support tool. A motor is activated in order to drive a hydraulic cylinder and thus extend the piston. The extending piston slides along an I-beam and over the support tool. While so sliding, the fork presses on each disc and pushes each disc, first onto the tine end of the support tool, then onto the swedge head, and finally onto the arrester cable.11-06-2008
