Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090169321TIE DOWN ANCHOR DEVICE - A tie down anchor device useful, for example, in providing a securement surface for holding cargo within a sled or trailer via a strap or other tie down implement. The tie down anchor device includes an extension body, an attachment assembly, and a loop body. The extension body is flexible but substantially inelastic, formed from a fabric material. The attachment assembly is configured for removably mounting the anchor device to a surface, and is connected to a trailing section of the extension body. The loop body is movably maintained by a leading section of the extension body. With this configuration, upon mounting of the anchor device to a surface (e.g., floor of a sled), the loop body is readily available for connection to an end of a tie down implement (e.g., a hook provided with a rubber strap).07-02-2009

20110220792PHOTON INDUCED NEAR FIELD ELECTRON MICROSCOPE AND BIOLOGICAL IMAGING SYSTEM - A method of obtaining PINEM images includes providing femtosecond optical pulse, generating electron pulses, and directing the electron pulses towards a sample. The method also includes overlapping the femtosecond optical pulses and the electron pulses spatially and temporally at the sample and transferring energy from the femtosecond optical pulses to the electron pulses. The method further includes detecting electron pulses having an energy greater than a zero loss value, providing imaging in space and time.09-15-2011

20100206311RESPIRATOR FACEPIECE WITH THERMOSET ELASTOMERIC FACE SEAL - A respiratory protection composite facepiece includes a polymeric rigid facepiece body having a first surface and a second surface, and a silicone sealing facepiece element chemically bonded to at least one of the first surface and the second surface. Methods of forming a respiratory protection composite facepiece are also disclosed.08-19-2010
20100218761UNITARY RESPIRATOR WITH MOLDED THERMOSET ELASTOMERIC ELEMENTS - A respiratory protection composite facepiece is disclosed and includes a polymeric rigid facepiece body portion having a first surface and a second surface and a silicone sealing facepiece element chemically bonded at least one of the first surface or the second surface. The first and second surfaces can be opposing major surfaces. A second silicone element is chemically bonded to at least one of the first surface or the second surface. Methods of making the same are also disclosed.09-02-2010
20110100372RESPIRATOR ATTACHMENT COMPONENT WITH MOLDED THERMOSET ELASTOMERIC SEAL - Respirator attachment components are described and include a polymeric rigid respirator attachment body portion having a first surface and a second surface and a silicone sealing element chemically bonded to the first or second surface.05-05-2011

20090132104LONGITUDINAL AND VERTICAL GUST FEED FORWARD COMPENSATION USING LATERAL CONTROL SURFACES - In one embodiment of a method to reduce vertical position errors of an aircraft, a disturbance input acting on the aircraft may be determined. The magnitude of the disturbance may be converted into a delta lift command if the magnitude of the disturbance is outside a criteria. The delta lift command may be post processed. The delta lift command may be converted into symmetric lateral surface position commands for control surfaces. The symmetric lateral surface position commands may be communicated to lateral control surface actuators to move the control surfaces according to the symmetric lateral surface position commands.05-21-2009
20090138144VERTICAL PATH CONTROL AUGMENTATION USING LATERAL CONTROL SURFACES - In one embodiment of a method for reducing vertical position errors of an aircraft, the displacement of the aircraft from a commanded vertical path may be determined. A determination may be made as to whether a magnitude of a vertical path error meets criteria. No more steps of the method may be followed if the vertical path error does not meet the criteria, while the vertical path error may be converted into a delta lift command if the vertical path error meets the criteria. The delta lift command may be limited. The delta lift command may be converted into lateral surface position commands for control surfaces. The lateral surface position commands may be communicated to lateral control surface actuators to move the control surfaces according to the lateral surface position commands.05-28-2009
