20100200358 | OVERRUNNING COUPLING AND CONTROL ASSEMBLY INCLUDING APPARATUS HAVING A LATCHING MECHANISM - Overrunning coupling and control assemblies, each of which includes control apparatus having a latching mechanism are provided. Each latching mechanism prevents an actuator arm of an overrunning coupling assembly from moving in a first direction substantially parallel to a shift direction of a control plate of the coupling assembly within a housing slot in a locked condition of the mechanism in a first position of the control plate. A control pressure signal within a bore of the housing changes the condition of the latching mechanism from locked to unlocked to unlock the actuator arm and causes the unlocked actuator arm to move along the first direction within the slot and the control element to move along the shift direction to a second position. The control pressure signal also causes a piston which has a groove formed in its outer surface to receive and retain a free end portion of the actuator arm to slide within the bore in the housing against the biasing force of the at least one biasing member. In the absence of a control pressure signal, the at least one biasing member moves the piston and thereby the unlocked actuator arm in a second direction opposite the first direction within the slot and the control element along the shift direction from the second position back to the first position and changes the condition of the latching mechanism from unlocked to locked to lock the actuator arm. | 08-12-2010 |

20090046869 | WIRELESS AUDIO RECEIVERS - An audio system uses two frequencies to transmit a left and right audio signal to a pair of wireless earphones. Mono receivers in each of the earphones respectively receive the right or left audio signals and produce an audio output. The system includes a base that docks to the earphones such that they can be charged and configured to receive an audio output at the selected transmission frequency. The audio signal can be produced by the base or received from a portable electronic device to which the base is coupled. The base can also function as an FM transmitter for the device and utilize the device's controls and display. | 02-19-2009 |

20120058330 | HYDROPHOBIC COATING FOR COATED ARTICLE - A coated article includes a substrate and a superhydrophobic coating on the substrate. The superhydrophobic coating is a composite of a silicone polymer and particles that are inherently hydrophobic or surface-functionalized with a hydrophobic agent. | 03-08-2012 |
20140138102 | EFFERVESCENT FIRE SUPPRESSION - An exemplary fire suppression system includes a nozzle body configured to carry a fire suppressing fluid to be discharged from a first orifice array and a second orifice array. Gas bubbles can be introduced through a bubbler into the fire suppressing fluid to establish a bubbly mixture in the nozzle. Each first orifice in the first orifice array has a first flow property and is configured to receive the bubbly mixture and through effervescent atomization yield a first fire suppression mist from the first orifice array. Each second orifice in the second orifice array has a second different flow property and is configured to receive the bubbly mixture and through effervescent atomization yield a second fire suppression mist from the second orifice array. The first fire suppression mist and the second fire suppression mist are configured to provide a selected fire suppression nozzle discharge. | 05-22-2014 |
20150297924 | SPRINKLER SYSTEM INCLUDING A MIXING DEVICE UPSTREAM OF A SPRINKLER - An exemplary sprinkler system includes a liquid supply conduit and a gas supply conduit. A mixing device is coupled to the liquid supply conduit and the gas supply conduit. The mixing device is configured to establish a mixture of liquid from the liquid supply conduit and gas from the gas supply conduit. The mixture has a selected gas-to-liquid ratio. A sprinkler supply conduit is coupled with the mixing device for carrying the mixture downstream from the mixing device. A sprinkler coupled with the sprinkler supply conduit is configured to receive the mixture and to discharge a fire suppression mist. | 10-22-2015 |

20120148432 | ENHANCED ELASTOMERIC STATOR INSERT VIA REINFORCING AGENT DISTRIBUTION AND ORIENTATION - A progressive cavity type motor or pump including a stator insert with a reinforcing agent dispersed in a manner to improve properties of the stator insert. The reinforcing agent may be a fiber, nanotube, metal, ceramic, or polymer. A dispersing agent may be used to obtain a homogenous distribution. A magnetic reinforcing agent may be incorporated into a stator insert. The stator insert is subjected to a magnetic field to orient the magnetic reinforcing agent in a particular orientation. The magnetic field may also reposition the magnetic reinforcing agent within the stator insert. The stator insert may be formed by injection molding, transfer, or compression molding among other methods. | 06-14-2012 |

20150069939 | CIRCUITS AND METHODS FOR DRIVING RESONANT ACTUATORS - The present disclosure includes circuits and methods for driving resonant actuators. In one embodiment, a drive signal is applied to an actuator during a portion of a plurality of half cycles of a period of the drive signal. The actuator has a resonant frequency and may vibrate in response to the drive signal. An induced voltage is generated on terminals of the actuator in response to the vibration. A detection circuit may detect when the induced voltage on the actuator crosses a threshold after the drive signal is turned off. The drive signal may be triggered based on when the induced voltage crosses the threshold to align a frequency and phase of the drive signal with the resonant frequency and a phase of the actuator. | 03-12-2015 |
