Filed:

Nov 16, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/274637

Inventors:

Jack L. Williams - Orange CA

Assignee:

ITT Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

F16D 704

US Classification:

464 37

Abstract:

Clutch apparatus having a rotary inner member with axially extending flexible members that engage complimentary cavities in an outer rotary member. When a predetermined value of torque is exceeded, the flexible members slip in the cavities of the outer member.

Filed:

Aug 23, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/570983

Inventors:

Jack L. Williams - Orange CA

Assignee:

ITT Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

F16D 4112
F16D 1100

US Classification:

464 37

Abstract:

Clutch apparatus with a rotary inner member having a plurality of equally spaced indents. An outer member has a plurality of equally spaced flexible beam members on its inner peripheral surface, each of said members being adapted to engage one of said plurality of indents. When either the inner or outer member is subject to an overload condition, said beam members flex radially outward and slip from one indent to another.

Appl. No.:

8/385442

Inventors:

Jack R. Williams - Anaheim CA

Assignee:

Diagnostic/Retrieval Systems, Inc. - Oakland NJ

International Classification:

H04B 1700
G01S 380

US Classification:

367 13

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for accurately determining the relative locations of sensors in a passive sonar or like monitoring system utilizes two non-parallel (but not necessarily orthogonal) calibrator signals to calculate the relative positions of sensors in a sensor array. Iteration, using a deformed line array constraint, permits reliable solution of the sensor position equations, even when the relative angle between the calibrator signals is initially unknown.

Filed:

Oct 22, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/141845

Inventors:

Jack L. Williams - Orange CA

Assignee:

ITT Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

F04B 4900

US Classification:

417 36

Abstract:

An optical bilge pump apparatus has two optical fibers with gaps cut therein and associated light transmitters-receivers. The apparatus is responsive to high and low liquid levels in the pump such that the pump is turned on when both gaps in the optical fibers are submersed in liquid, and the pump is turned off when both gaps in the optical fibers are not submersed in liquid.

Appl. No.:

8/684697

Inventors:

Jack R. Williams - Riverside CA
Cary Shuker - Riverside CA

International Classification:

F16L 3726

US Classification:

285325

Abstract:

A detachable hose assembly for easily connecting a hose to a faucet without using a screwing motion. The detachable hose assembly is comprised of a hose member and a faucet member. The hose member is configured to be attached to a hose and has a front face and a central shaft for communication of water to the hose. The faucet member is configured to be attached to a faucet and has a front face and a central shaft for communication of water to the central shaft of the hose member. The hose member and faucet member are configured to be slidably coupled together in a first orientation to form a single central shaft so that the front faces of the hose member and the faucet member are positioned adjacent each other and the outer surfaces of the members are flush. A raised surface and a seal are positioned about the shaft so that when the hose and faucet members are coupled, the raised surface exerts a force against the seal in a direction parallel to the central shaft so that leakage is reduced. The front faces of the hose member and the faucet member are configured so that when the hose member and the faucet member are coupled together, a cavity will be formed between the front faces of the hose member and faucet member so that debris will be urged into the cavity when the members are engaged.

Appl. No.:

6/795481

James M. Alsup - San Diego CA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

G01S 1500

US Classification:

367 98

Abstract:

A system is presented for enhancing sonar signals wherein Doppler echoes eived in the time domain from a sonar system are processed by digitizing, shifting to baseband, Fourier transforming to the frequency domain, applying a frequency stretching algorithm designed to expand low Doppler signals, retransforming the signal back to the time domain, reshifting from baseband to original center frequency, converting to analog and outputting the resultant enhanced Doppler time domain signals to either earphones of a sonar operator for audio monitoring or for further processing for visual display.

Filed:

Aug 9, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/104959

Inventors:

Jack L. Williams - Orange CA

Assignee:

ITT Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

F16C 1910

US Classification:

384611

Abstract:

A cage with bearing balls' confined therein is interposed between a plate and a planar platform, to accommodate rotation of the plate, and an electrically-powered device, such as a searchlight, can be fastened to the plate for rotation therewith. A disk, with a plurality of radially-extending fingers, is secured to the platform and is in biasingly restraint of the plate to (a) inhibit an unwarrantedly free rotation of the plate, i. e, to impose a controlled drag on the plate rotation, and (b) to enable the inverted operation of the overall combination.
