Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080251000ANCHORING SYSTEM - An anchoring system is disclosed having a rode of predetermined length; a plurality of indicators located on and displaced at regular intervals along said length of said rode; wherein said intervals correlate deployed rode lengths to a set of anchoring conditions. Using the system, a watercraft operator can readily determine whether a proper amount of rode has been deployed to anchor the watercraft according to acknowledged standards.10-16-2008

20100060092Brushless direct current actuator - A brushless rotary actuator comprises a housing including a base defining a cavity for a motor assembly and a cover defining a cavity for a gear assembly. A circuit board assembly is seated in the housing between the motor assembly and the gear assembly. A rotor shaft extends through an aperture in the circuit board assembly and is coupled to the gear assembly. An output shaft is coupled to the gear assembly and extends through the cover. In one embodiment, a bearing and a bearing retainer are mounted on a sleeve formed in the base for retaining the rotor in the housing. In another embodiment, a rotor retention pin with a proximal head abutting against the top of the rotor and a distal threaded or barbed end extends into the sleeve of the housing for retaining the rotor in the housing.03-11-2010
20100301691Brushless Direct Current Actuator with Clip for Retaining Bobbins - A brushless rotary actuator comprises a housing including a motor housing defining a cavity for a motor assembly and a cover defining a cavity for a gear assembly. The motor assembly includes a rotor and a stator with a plurality of bobbins. A clip in the form of a ring plate is seated against the bobbins for retaining the bobbins on the stator. Fingers formed on the ring plate are fitted into respective slots defined by respective bobbin terminals. A circuit board is seated in the housing against an interior shoulder of the motor housing. A plate is seated in the housing against a peripheral rim of the motor housing in a spaced relationship above the circuit board.12-02-2010
20110115479Through Shaft Rotary Position Sensor - A rotary position sensor assembly includes a ring magnet extending around the outer surface of a rotatable through shaft. A sensor which measures changes in the direction of the magnetic flux generated by the magnet in response to rotation of the shaft and a pair of magnet pole pieces are located opposite and spaced from the magnet. The sensor is located between the pair of pole pieces and the pole pieces conduct the magnetic flux over the sensor and nominalize the strength of the magnetic flux sensed by the sensor over the full range of rotation of the shaft relative to the sensor.05-19-2011

20090073156Drive Circuits for Capacitive Loads - A drive circuit for driving electroluminescent (EL) segments and polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) segment of a display. The circuit may include a flyback converter for generating an A.C. output voltage, a first switching circuit for selectively connecting the output voltage to the EL segments, and a second switching circuit for selectively connecting the output voltage to the PDLC segments. In order to drive the EL segments and PDLC segments at the required frequencies, the polarity of the output voltage applied to the PDLC segments is swapped at a frequency lower than the frequency at which the polarity of the output voltage is swapped for the EL segments. In this way, only a single high voltage power supply is required to drive both the EL and PDLC segments.03-19-2009
