20110168725 | AUTONOMOUSLY ROTATING COOKWARE - An autonomously rotating cookware adapted to more evenly cook a food item within a cooking space presenting variable temperatures, includes a rotatable member and a thermally activated active material element, such as a shape memory alloy wire, drivenly coupled to the member, such that heat by-product during the cooking process causes the element to activate and activating the element causes the member to rotate, so that the food item is alternatively exposed to the variable temperatures. | 07-14-2011 |
20130298316 | ENERGY DISSIPATING HELMET UTILIZING STRESS-INDUCED ACTIVE MATERIAL ACTIVATION - An energy dissipating helmet, such as a football, baseball, hockey, construction, combat, bicycle, or motorcycle helmet, including a structural component adapted to receive an anticipatory impact having energy, and a stress-activated active material element, such as a Austenitic shape memory alloy wire, mesh, layer, or spring, communicatively coupled to the component, and activatable by the impact, so as to dissipate at least a portion of the energy. | 11-14-2013 |

20120042741 | MECHANICAL ACTUATOR - A mechanical actuator for translating rotational motion to linear motion. The actuator includes a motor, a screw assembly, a bearing assembly, and first and second lubrication systems. The screw assembly includes a housing, a threaded screw shaft disposed within the housing, a nut assembly, and an extension tube. The threaded screw shaft is rotatable by the motor. The nut assembly is arranged to move in either direction along a longitudinal axis of the threaded screw shaft when the threaded screw shaft is in rotational motion, thereby moving the extension tube between an extended position and a retracted position. The bearing assembly is arranged to provide support to at least a portion of a length of the threaded screw shaft. A pathway of the first lubrication system is remote and isolated from a pathway of the second lubrication system. | 02-23-2012 |
