Filed:

Feb 25, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/257474

Inventors:

Michael Kim - Potomac MD

Assignee:

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

International Classification:

F16F 710

US Classification:

188379

Abstract:

The inventive passive damping system features the unique harmonization of: (i) a constrained-layer damping subsystem (wherein an elastomer serves as constrained damping material); (ii) an entrained damping subsystem (wherein a particulate serves as entrained damping material); and, (iii) a tuned damping subsystem (wherein modal properties of certain inventive components have been selectively varied in accordance with anticipated resonance frequencies). The invention's effectiveness is aggregative; the total loss factor for the inventive damping system equals the sum of the individual loss factors for the damping subsystems. Consequently, the invention affords a high loss factor in a broad frequency range. Especially in applications involving control of extremely high vibrations, the inventive damping methodology is more efficient and economical than are common damping methodologies.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/08
G06Q 40/04
H04L 9/06

Abstract:

An exchange-traded note (ETN) having a plurality of ETN shares is generated and issued. Each ETN share of the ETN is issued having an initial share price. Buy orders are received to buy one or more ETN shares. The ETN tracks a plurality of internal and external indexes. The ETN share price fluctuates in accordance with the performance of the indexes. Data of the ETN is stored on a memory device and implemented as part of a blockchain architecture. Stored ETN data are updated periodically in response to a change of the plurality of internal and external indexes. An insurance premium cost is based at least in part upon the ETN share price.

Abstract:

This invention relates to an apparatus and method for refurbishing lacrosse balls by using a fast, convenient, automated, entertaining, energy efficient, portable, and modular machine/method of removing a thin layer of rubber from the surface of a used lacrosse ball, by applying even pressure and random rotation of abrasive, one to four cups or rings, utilizing a combination of gravity and/or force of the cups against the surface of the ball, and the introduction of a solvent at various speeds, volume, and concentration, during and after the removal of a thin layer of rubber, to maximize the restoration of the rubber surface.
