Additively grown enhanced impact resistance features for improved structure and joint protection
A method includes designing a part. The part includes at least one internal structure. The internal structure is designed to provide strain mitigation, energy dissipation, or impact resistance for the part during an emergency condition. The part is built by a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process. While building the part, the internal structure is connected to the part.
Multi-conductor rotary connector
An electrical connector comprising a plug arranged and designed to connect to a receptacle. The plug includes an electrically-insulating body, a conductor ring, and a conductive member connected to the plug conductor ring. The receptacle includes an electrically-insulating body, a conductor ring having an axial inner bore and an annular groove facing radially inward, a conductive member connected to the receptacle conductor ring, and an electrically-conductive contact having a generally annular profile, at least a portion of the electrically-conductive contact received in and contacting the annular groove and at least a portion of the electrically-conductive contact not received in the annular groove. Upon insertion of the plug into the receptacle and substantially radially aligning the plug and receptacle conductor rings, the electrically-conductive contact is elastically deformed and provides electrical contact between the plug conductor ring and the receptacle conductor ring.
NOISE ATTENUATED FILL LIMIT VENT VALVE
Systems are provided for a noise attenuation device for a valve. In one example, a system may include a single noise attenuation device located below a base of a fill limit vent valve.
FLAT SPRING FOR SOLENOID VALVE AND SOLENOID VALVE USING THE SAME
A flat spring (70) of a solenoid valve has: an engaging claw (75) which is engaged with an engaging protrusion provided on a movable iron core, and a supporting portion (71) which is installed and fixed between a valve housing and a bobbin. The supporting portion (71) is provided with an attaching claw (72); the attaching claw (72) is attached to an attaching claw holder provided on the bobbin. The engaging claw (75) is provided on a leading end of a pulling portion (73), and a connected portion (74) connects a base end of the pulling portion (73) with the supporting portion (71).
Shock mitigating materials and methods utilizing spiral shaped elements
Various embodiments of a spiral shaped element and embedded wavy materials are disclosed for use in a shock mitigating material to dissipate the energy associated with the impact of an object. The shock mitigating material can be used in helmets, bumpers, bullet proof vests, military armor, and other applications. One embodiment, among others, is a shock mitigating material having a plurality of spiral shaped elements, each having a circular cross section, and each being tapered from a large outside end to a small inside end but also having an embedded wavy material that can induce shear waves to mitigate the shock pressure and impulse.
Auxiliary cutting implement for arrow
An auxiliary cutting implement for attachment between a broadhead and arrow shaft includes preferably two or more coils each having two cutting edges formed along their opposite elongated side edges. As the coils pass through the animal they unroll and slice through animal flesh in all directions. The coils are biased toward their rolled position which increases the multi-directional movement of the coil and cutting edges through the animal resulting in a large cutting area and fast kill as compared to the broadhead alone.
SOLENOID VALVE
The solenoid valve (10) has a poppet valve (41) which is operated to move between a position to close a port and a position to open the port. A fixed iron core (50) having a supporting leg (52) and a driving leg (51) is installed in a valve housing (11), and a movable iron core (60) which drives the poppet valve (41) is disposed between a valve driving member (42) and the fixed iron core (50). An arcuate sliding contact surface (61) is provided on one end portion of the movable iron core (60), and a sliding-abutting surface (62) which abuts on the sliding contact surface (61) is provided on a leading end portion of the supporting leg (52). When a coil (56) is de-energized, the sliding-contacting surface (61) is pressed onto the sliding-abutting surface (62) by a flat spring (70), with an abutting portion of the valve driving member (42) serving as a fulcrum of a tensile force applied to the movable iron core (60).
SOLENOID VALVE
A solenoid valve (10) has a U-shaped fixed iron core (50) with a driving leg (51), a supporting leg (52), and a yoke portion (53) integrally formed. One end portion of a movable iron core (60) which drives a poppet valve (41) abuts on the supporting leg (52), and the other end portion of the movable iron core (60) abuts on the driving leg (51). A sealing member (81) is disposed between and a valve housing (11) and a fixed flange (58) of a bobbin (54) attached to the fixed iron core (50). A sealing member (83) is disposed between an abutting flange (57) of the bobbin (54) and the yoke portion (53).
VIBRATION REDUCTION DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND MOBILE EQUIPMENT CONTAINING SAME
The present disclosure relates to a vibration reduction device, an electronic device and mobile equipment containing same. The vibration reduction device comprises: a first fixing component (10) which is a frame structure (11); a second fixing component (100) arranged in the center or near the center position of the first fixing component (10); and a vibration reduction connecting component (50) positioned between the first fixing component (10) and the second fixing component (100) and used for connecting both together. The vibration reduction connecting component (50) comprises a vibration reduction connecting frame (53) connected to the frame structure (11), and an inverted U-shaped structure (51) positioned in the vibration reduction connecting frame (53), connected to the lower part of the vibration reduction connecting frame (53) through supporting legs and connected with the second fixing component (100). The vibration reduction device of the present disclosure can provide excellent vibration reduction and impact-prevention protection for electronic products and precision electronic equipment. It is especially able to protect electronic products and precision electronic equipment installed on mobile equipment, such as a vehicle, against physical damage while under severe travelling conditions, as well as ensure their normal operation. The vibration reduction device according to the present disclosure not only has a simple structure and occupies little space, but also has simple installation and long service life, and can be suitable for varying load conditions.
SPRING ASSEMBLY AND DAMPER DEVICE INCLUDING SPRING ASSEMBLY
A spring assembly includes a first coil spring and a second coil spring. The second coil spring includes a first winding portion and a second winding portion. The first winding portion includes a plurality of windings from a first winding to at least a second winding. The second winding portion is a portion except for the first winding portion. An outer diameter of each of the plurality of windings of the first winding portion is smaller than an outer diameter of each of at least one winding of the second winding portion.
