US Patent:

6553580, Apr 29, 2003

Filed:

Jan 16, 2002

Appl. No.:

09/887696

Inventors:

Dale L. Henson - San Jose CA 95131

International Classification:

A42B 106

US Classification:

2410, 2422, 2425

Abstract:

A method of protecting a helmet shell and interrupting airflow around a helmet utilizing an air flow interrupter and helmet shell protector strip. The strip is constructed so that it can be applied to a helmet after manufacture of the helmet shell itself. The strip includes an attachment mechanism which is generally an adhesive backing. This allows the strip to be easily removably affixed to the helmet surface. The attachment mechanism must have sufficient strength so that the strip does not separate from the helmet surface during normal use.

Appl. No.:

11/076245

Inventors:

Dale L. Henson - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

B32B 37/00

US Classification:

156 82, 156381, 156497, 156499

Abstract:

A system of heat shrink lamination that uses one or more lamination chambers with forced flow of heated air from a central heating area. The central heating area includes at least one heating element. A fan situated at one end of the central heating area provides high speed air circulation by forcing the heated air down through hot air plenums in the lamination chambers. At the lower end of the lamination chambers, the hot air is returned through air flow ducts to the central heating area.

Appl. No.:

12/069230

Inventors:

Dale L. Henson - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

B65H 54/64
B21B 39/08

US Classification:

2424381, 2424396, 57 11, 57352, 72 114, 72205

Abstract:

A continuous winding machine uses embedded controllers to monitor and control the winding settings in maximum speed applications. Power is supplied to the embedded controllers from a main power source through a rotary transformer. The control system can be operated either through wired connections to a local computer or processor, or through a wireless system, or a combination of both, depending on the specific application. The machine uses a high speed, closed loop tensioning system that includes the filament supply spools and the mandrel supply and takeup spools. The control system menu includes the various winding operations useful to each user. The control system menu can be accessed remotely via computer, or by telephone.

Filed:

Feb 14, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/799965

Inventors:

Dale Henson - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

F16K 11085

US Classification:

13762547

Abstract:

A three-way hot air divert valve. The valve is mechanically similar to a normal divert valve, but includes elements made from refractory materials to provide thermal breaks so that heat in the hot air line does not adversely affect the moving parts of the valve. The refractory material will generally be a ceramic. The user chooses the particular setup of the valve, so that he can choose the direction of air flow to a waste air area.
