International Classification:

F16D 31/02

US Classification:

60452, 60443

Abstract:

A control for a variable displacement pump disposed in a hydraulic system obtains a requested signal from a manual control device and provides a command signal to a valve operating to adjust a displacement setting of the variable displacement pump. The control provides the command signal based on the requested signal, and scales the requested signal based on a sensed or calculated load of the system.

Abstract:

The beverage brewing device is configured for use with a beverage brewer having an inlet probe for dispensing water and an outlet probe. The beverage brewing device includes a body defining a brew chamber configured to contain a dry beverage medium and at least one outlet probe receptacle defined in the body and extending upwardly from a bottom surface of the body. The at least one outlet probe receptacle is sized and configured to receive an outlet probe of a beverage brewer. A lid is removably securable to the body and is engageable with the body to selectively enclose a top opening of the body. An inlet probe opening is defined in the lid for receiving an inlet probe of the beverage brewer. At least one filter is defined within in the body, wherein the filter is configured to retain a dry beverage medium within the brew chamber while allowing a brewed beverage to pass through the brew chamber.

International Classification:

B65D 85/00

US Classification:

206320000

Abstract:

A durable, clear, protective cover for a device having a touch screen, keypad, or other user interface. The cover protects the device without interfering with the ability to use the device. The protective cover is constructed by vacuum-forming a thin sheet of transparent polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) on the front and at least a portion of the sides of a mold made of the target device. Accordingly, the protective cover made from a single piece of material will have the topography matching the device, which facilitates in the continued usability of the device when the protective cover is disposed on the device. Furthermore, the protective cover fits securely on the device such that no adhesives or other mechanisms are required to secure the protective cover onto the device, nor are any tools required to install or remove the protective cover.

International Classification:

B64C 13/40
B64C 9/02
B64C 13/30

Abstract:

Systems and methods for actuating a control surface which is pivotably coupled to a trailing edge of an aircraft wing. The control surface actuation system has a compact footprint and high capability. The control surface actuation system includes a rotatable torque shaft that is coupled (by means of meshed surfaces) to the control surface so that rotation of the torque shaft by a deflection angle causes the control surface to pivot by an equal deflection angle. Rotation of the torque shaft is actuated by a pair of redundant mutually opposing actuation mechanisms. The redundant actuation mechanisms are situated inside of the fuselage, while the torque shaft is disposed partly inside the fuselage and partly inside the control surface.

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Randall Eugene Anderson - Stanwood WA, US

International Classification:

B64D 45/00
F16H 19/04

Abstract:

An apparatus for detecting skew in a slat of an aircraft wing includes an elongated track moveably supported in the wing for longitudinal movement toward and away from a leading edge of the wing. The slat is coupled to a forward end of the track for conjoint movement therewith. An actuator is configured to selectably drive the track and slat between retracted and extended positions relative to the leading edge of the wing. A pinion gear is rotatably mounted in the wing and disposed in rolling engagement with a rack gear disposed on the track, and a sensor is coupled to the pinion gear and configured to sense the longitudinal position of the slat as a function of a rotational position of the pinion gear.
