20150033983 | COMPOSITE BUILDING PRODUCTS BOUND WITH CELLULOSE NANOFIBERS - Building materials are generated by the simple mixing of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) slurry with typical wood-derived material such as wood meal, optionally with mineral particulate materials, and dried. Particle boards are made with wood meal particulates; wallboards are made with wood particulates and mineral particulates; paints are made with pigment particulates; and cement is made with aggregate particulates. The particle board samples were tested for fracture toughness. The fracture toughness was found to be from 20% higher up to ten times higher than the typical value for similar board, depending on the formulation. For cases of 20% by weight cellulose nanofibers and 80% wood, the fracture toughness was more than double that of typical particle board. The process sequesters carbon and oxygen into the building product for its lifespan—typically decades—and avoid releasing CO | 02-05-2015 |

20110226849 | TRANSITION READER MOUNTING BRACKET - Devices, systems, and methods are provided for transitioning or otherwise updating access control devices are provided. In particular, a design for a reader mounting bracket is provided. The reader mounting bracket is capable of mounting multiple data input or technology units, such as a keypad and a magnetic stripe, in various orientations. The reader mounting bracket may include a feature activator that is symmetrical about two-axes. Because the technology units can be mounted in different relative orientations, models having different orientations do not need to be developed, manufactured or stocked. The mounting bracket also provides a way to implement and flexibly orient two-factor authentication access control. | 09-22-2011 |
20130062331 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAINTAINING OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - A temperature-controlled integrated circuit configured with a secure data processing element, and method of manufacture of same, is disclosed. Specifically, the temperature-controlled integrated circuit, comprising a secure data processing element operable within a nominal operating range, is configured with a heat-transfer element which allows the secure data processing element to operate in an extended operating range. | 03-14-2013 |

20090166477 | Telescoping wing and airfoil control mechanism - This invention relates generally to a collapsible, nesting wing structure with or without wing warp flight control. The invention also incorporates means to maintain wing extension during flight, methods of wing construction for nesting collapsible wings, and control surfaces for collapsible wings. | 07-02-2009 |
20090171530 | Aerodynamic control of a three-wheel vehicle - This invention relates generally to an aerodynamic means to stabilize and tilt a three-wheel vehicle for cornering that is speed dependant and automatic in operation. Having a wing with movable control surfaces enables use of the wing to provide a tilting force utilized in cornering. If also connected by any of several means to the suspension system, the present invention also provides a vertically stabilizing force to counteract the pitching forces found in land vehicles due to surface irregularities encountered by the tires or wheels. | 07-02-2009 |
20120032023 | Flying vehicle retractable wing hinge and truss - A truss for a flying vehicle supports a pair of wings in a manner which facilitates pivoting of the wings between a deployed configuration and a retracted configuration. The truss includes parallel top and bottom plates with the gap therebetween. The wings have wing brackets affixed thereto with the wing brackets pivotably supported by hinge assemblies to the top plate and bottom plate of the truss. Latch assemblies can be selectively actuated to secure the wing brackets and associated wings to the truss in either the deployed configuration or the retracted configuration, so that loads between the wings and the truss are primarily carried through the latch assemblies rather than through the hinge assemblies. A hinge position on the truss and on the wing brackets is selected to maximize wing length tip to tip while minimizing an outline required for the vehicle when the wings are fully retracted. | 02-09-2012 |
