20110120312 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A SELF-CLEANING FILTER - A method and apparatus for removing fine particulate matter from a fluid stream without interrupting the overall process or flow. The flowing fluid inflates and expands the flexible filter, and particulate is deposited on the filter media while clean fluid is permitted to pass through the filter. This filter is cleaned when the fluid flow is stopped, the filter collapses, and a force is applied to distort the flexible filter media to dislodge the built-up filter cake. The dislodged filter cake falls to a location that allows undisrupted flow of the fluid after flow is restored. The shed particulate is removed to a bin for periodic collection. A plurality of filter cells can operate independently or in concert, in parallel, or in series to permit cleaning the filters without shutting off the overall fluid flow. The self-cleaning filter is low cost, has low power consumption, and exhibits low differential pressures. | 05-26-2011 |

20150089995 | CRASH TEST METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH YAW SIMULATION - The present disclosure relates to accelerator type crash simulation test systems. These systems provide repeatable and reliable simulation of vehicle frontal impact crash events. The crash simulation test systems are capable of simulating motion in the form of rotation about a vertical Z-axis and/or translation in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the ServoSled. The combination of these motions is generally known as yaw. Yaw motion is of particular interest in frontal crash events in which the center of impact is offset from the center of the vehicle. The yaw motion can be achieved, for example, in several embodiments by the use of off-board actuators that supply yawing motions to an onboard platform. | 04-02-2015 |
