US Patent:

7506778, Mar 24, 2009

Filed:

Jan 10, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/032570

Inventors:

Robert A. DaSilva - Lowell MA, US
Jerome P. Fanucci - Lexington MA, US

Assignee:

Kazak Composities, Incorporated - Woburn MA

International Classification:

B65D 21/02
B65D 45/28
B65D 45/16

US Classification:

220 234, 220 2383, 220323, 220324

Abstract:

A modular packaging system of containers each having a generally tubular, hollow container body of a fiber-reinforced composite material with cooperative mating interlocking elements extending axially along its length. The interlocking elements allow the containers to be stacked and palletized in a stable manner. An interface between a closure mechanism and the container body provides a good seal and prevents fraying or brooming of the fiber-reinforced composite material at the end face of the body.

Assignee:

Teradyne, Inc. - North Reading MA

International Classification:

G01N 29/30

US Classification:

73 182

Abstract:

A disk drive emulator for testing a test slot of a disk drive testing system includes an emulator body, an interface connecter disposed on the emulator body, and at least one vibration sensor disposed on the emulator body. The emulator body comprises a material having a tensile modulus of at least 40×10^6 Psi.

International Classification:

B63B 19/14

US Classification:

11420100R

Abstract:

A hatch or door system for closing an opening in a surrounding structure has a panel assembly having a metal frame enclosing a composite material panel. An operating mechanism is operative in a first stage to hold the panel assembly in the closed position. In a second stage, a discrete-to-continuous latching mechanism of the operating mechanism seals the frame within the opening.

Inventors:

- Boston MA, US
Robert A. DaSilva - Reading MA, US

International Classification:

E01C 9/08

Abstract:

Transportation matting for traversing soft ground surfaces, such as beaches and muddy roads, is provided. The matting is thin, rollable, and lightweight (in some embodiments, about 1 lb/ft) and has a convoluted configuration with alternating peaks and valleys formed from mats of a fiber reinforced polymer composite material. The matting is coilable with a preload by which the matting tends to unroll and lay flat, while retaining relatively high compliance or ease of roll-up when recovered.
