20090079801 | PIEZOELECTRIC INK JET MODULE WITH SEAL - A piezoelectric ink jet head that includes a polymer film, for example a flex print, located between the piezoelectric element and the reservoirs in the jet body. The film provides an efficient seal for the reservoirs and also positions the electrodes on the side of the piezoelectric element in which motion is effected, which can reduce the magnitude of the drive voltage. This location of the compliant flex print material also can enhance electrical and mechanical isolation between reservoirs, which improves jetting accuracy. The compliance of the polymer also reduces strain on the ink jet head. | 03-26-2009 |

20110172950 | INTEGRATED RATE ISOLATION SENSOR - In one embodiment, a system for providing fault-tolerant inertial measurement data includes a sensor for measuring an inertial parameter and a processor. The sensor has less accuracy than a typical inertial measurement unit (IMU). The processor detects whether a difference exists between a first data stream received from a first inertial measurement unit and a second data stream received from a second inertial measurement unit. Upon detecting a difference, the processor determines whether at least one of the first or second inertial measurement units has failed by comparing each of the first and second data streams to the inertial parameter. | 07-14-2011 |

20080307906 | FLUID FITTING ELECTROMAGNETIC EFFECTS TEST CHAMBER - An apparatus and method for testing electromagnetic effects. In one advantageous embodiment, the apparatus has a chamber, a door connected to the chamber, a gas supply system attached to the chamber, a plurality of electrical connectors attached to the chamber, a removable platform, and a specimen holding. The chamber has an opening into an interior space located in the chamber. The door closes to seal the opening and prevents a flammable gaseous mixture in the interior space from leaking out of the interior space of the chamber. The gas supply system is configured for connection to the gas supply system to allow introduction of the flammable gaseous mixture into the interior space. The removable platform is moveable into and out of the interior space of the chamber through the opening. The specimen holding system located on the removable platform and is configured to hold a specimen and is electrically connected to the plurality of electrical connectors when the removable platform is placed into the chamber, wherein an electrical current travels through the specimen when the electrical current is supplied by an electrical current source that is connected to the plurality of electrical connectors. | 12-18-2008 |

20090184564 | PCD PERCUSSION DRILL BIT - The invention is embodied in a percussion drill bit which comprises a steel body with a working front head portion having a front central zone and plural wing zones radiating from the central zone and being spaced at the outer circumferential edges thereof; first gauge-cutting PCD inserts are secured in the wing zones to extend forwardly at an angle relative to the axis of the bit, and of at least one second core-cutting PCD insert is non-axially secured to extend forwardly from the central zone. | 07-23-2009 |
20100025114 | PCD Percussion Drill Bit - An insert for a percussion drill bit for drilling a hole in rock comprises a cylindrical portion and domed cutting surface. The domed cutting surface that comprises polycrystalline diamond has a tip radius that is between 0.3 and 0.4 times that of the diameter of the cylindrical portion. The diameter of the cylindrical portion is preferably greater than the gauge diameter of hole multiplied by 0.2. | 02-04-2010 |
20140014412 | Polycrystalline diamond percussion drill bits using low thrust and torque for application with small diameter drill bits - A polycrystalline diamond drill bit for percussion drilling uses very low torque and thrust that is formed of very specific insert and bit body dimensions to achieve maximum penetration rates and bit life when drilling very hard, high silica ground. The bits are made using a double chisel design, or a modified double chisel design, in the placement of the inserts on the face of the drill bit. The inserts are set into the body are very specific angles. The inserts have specific length to cut clearance for the bit body. The cutting angle and radius on the tip of the inserts are of very specific dimensions. The diameter of the inserts is of a specific diameter to retard the inserts from shearing off. The thrust and torque settings on the drill when using these PCD bits is less than 20 bar. When assembled in the manner as described this provides a system for use and application of PCD drill bits in hard rock drilling. | 01-16-2014 |
