Filed:

Oct 28, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/283728

Inventors:

William Ross McLennan - Perkiomenville PA, US
Michael J. Cross - Souderton PA, US

Assignee:

TRANSICOIL LLC - Collegeville PA

International Classification:

F16H 35/18
B23P 11/00

US Classification:

74 1045, 29428

Abstract:

A cluster linkage parallel multi-channel rotational control device comprising two or more single channel rotational control devices operatively connected by a cluster linkage assembly to a central shaft. The central shaft is attached to a control input, for example, an aircraft control input. A housing surrounds the central shaft. Each single channel rotational control device is contained within and fixed to the housing. A bearing set supports the central shaft within the housing.

International Classification:

A61B 17/88

US Classification:

606 93

Abstract:

A device for bone fixation includes (a) a delivery gun having a handle and (b) an elongated cartridge coupled to the handle. The cartridge has a distal portion configured and dimensioned for insertion to a target area within a bone. The cartridge has a channel extending therethrough between a proximal end and an opening at the distal end and housing an injectable material therein. A first portion of the cartridge has a first heating element maintaining the injectable material within a first target temperature range. A second portion of the cartridge has a second heating element maintaining the injectable material within a second target temperature range.

Abstract:

An improved passive optical range simulator device which can be used to test the ranging function of an optical radar ranger system having parallel beams leaving and entering. An adapter member provides for mechanical coupling and optical alignment of the simulator device with the ranger system. A focusing lens transforms parallel beams entering and leaving the ranger system into focused beams entering and leaving one end of a coil of optical fiber having a mirror at its opposite end to act as an optical delay medium. A primary tilted-glass-element optical attenuator limits optical energy allowed to reach the optical fiber entrance face, while defecting first surface reflection away from ranger system input. A removable attenuator assembly having oppositely-tilted flat glass elements at the fiber entrance face permits, by substitution, fine adjustment of beam attenuation. An X-Y-Z translation assembly for the fiber entrance face, together with a light source at the opposite end of the fiber, provides for proper alignment with the focused beams.
