US Patent:

20060071456, Apr 6, 2006

Filed:

Sep 24, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/949635

Inventors:

Jeffrey Jenkins - Shelby Township MI, US
Kurt Fischer - Oxford MI, US
Richard Barnes - Lake Orion MI, US

International Classification:

B60R 21/16

US Classification:

280728200

Abstract:

A vehicle occupant protection apparatus () includes a housing (). The housing () includes a flow opening () through which fluid may flow. The vehicle occupant protection apparatus also includes an inflatable occupant protection device () that is inflatable from a stored condition to an inflated condition. Structure () of the inflatable occupant protection device () defines an inflatable volume of the inflatable occupant protection device (). A closure device () is movable relative to the housing () from a first position to a second position for restricting fluid flow through the flow opening (). The structure () of the inflatable occupant protection device () is attached to the closure device (). A force resulting from the inflatable occupant protection device () reaching full extension moves the closure device () from the first position to the second position.

Appl. No.:

9/321049

Inventors:

Richard D. Barnes - Stokesdale NC

Assignee:

ARE Industries, Inc. - Stokesdale NC

International Classification:

B65H 8100

US Classification:

156426

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are disclosed for forming a resin-impregnated fiber web that is particularly suitable for use in reinforced plastic composites and printed circuit board applications. The method includes the steps of drawing machine direction yarns from multiple spools contained in creels arranged around a hollow cylinder; passing machine direction yarns from the creels through a circular reed; pulling machine direction yarns the length of the hollow cylinder's outer surface in a longitudinal direction; controlling the application of an uncured or partially cured thermoset or thermoplastic resin to the yarns as they travel the length of the hollow cylinder; winding cross-direction yarns around the periphery of the hollow cylinder (i. e. , on top of the machine direction yarns) thereby forming a web; heating and cooling the resulting web; and finally collecting the web on a roll. In its apparatus aspects, the invention includes a hollow cylinder, a creel surrounding the hollow cylinder for supporting machine direction yam, a resin heater and pump for heating and pumping the resin to a resin manifold for applying resin to the yarns, a controller for controlling the speed of the machine direction yarns and the amount of resin applied to the yarns, a rotating disk supported by a support ring and powered by electromagnetic actuators, a yarn supply containing cross-direction yarns supported by the rotating disk, circular heaters for partially curing the resin saturated yarns located around the periphery of the cylinder, and a slitter for cutting the resin-impregnated fiber web into separate sections.

Assignee:

Burlington Industries, Inc. - Greensboro NC

International Classification:

H05B 334

US Classification:

219213

Abstract:

An electrically heated laminate including a flexible heater fabric, wherein the heater fabric comprises a woven glass fabric having a layer in contact with electrodes of an electrically conductive mixture comprising a vinylidene chloride polymer and carbon to provide the desired watt density and an outer coating of a vapor barrier of a vinylidene chloride polymer. A fabric softener layer may also be provided between the glass fabric and the conductive coating to impart greater flexibility to the heater fabric.

Appl. No.:

6/494856

Inventors:

Richard W. Barnes - Hollywood FL

International Classification:

F02D 1704

US Classification:

123342

Abstract:

An engine protection device to automatically reduce engine speed to low idle or complete stop. Engine speed reduction is accomplished through the instrumentalies associated with the engine throttle rod. The effective length of the engine rod varies in response to an increase in the coolant temperature or a decrease engine oil pressure.
