Anti-chafe gusset crotch for pants
InactiveUS20050066408A1Improve breathabilitySimple and cost-effectivePanty-hoseHosieryCost effectivenessEngineering
The current invention teaches a novel, simple, and cost effective preventative solution to the irritating outcome experienced when the friction of the inner thighs rubbing together results in a condition commonly known as chafing. This condition is commonly experienced by athletes, obese people, and people with specific physiological conditions. While there are preventative measures to hinder chafing on the market, none address the issue with a simple, cost effective, and comfortable solution. The current invention is a panel embodied by two-plies of a lightweight, highly breathable, stretchable fabric with a slick surface sewn only on the periphery to create a seamless gusset throughout the crotch of a garment such as a short that creates a near friction free environment and keeps the skin dry thus preventing chafing.

Electrical vertical take-off and landing aircraft
InactiveUS20190375495A1Simple and cost-effectiveEasy to useElectric power distributionGas turbine type power plantsFuel cellsVertical take off and landing
Electrically powered Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft are presented. Contemplated VTOL aircraft can include one or more electrical energy stores capable of delivering electrical power to one or more electric motors disposed within one or more propeller housings, where the motors can drive the propellers. The VTOL aircraft can also include one or more back-up and / or secondary energy / power sources (e.g., batteries, engines, generators, fuel-cells, semi-cells, etc.) capable of driving the motors should the energy stores fail or deplete. The VTOL aircraft will be significantly different to regular Tiltrotor aircraft as we use propellers and a modern steering system that reduces complicity dramatically. The contemplated configurations address safety, noise, and hover stability and outwash concerns to allow such designs to operate in built-up areas while retaining competitive performance relative to existing aircraft.

Protection arrangement for an electric vehicle
ActiveUS20160130851A1High capacitySimple and cost-effective solutionCharging stationsElectric devicesElectrical energy storageCurrent collector
A protection arrangement for a current collector arranged on a vehicle having a rechargeable energy storage includes a first protective state in which the current collector is covered by the protection arrangement and a second open state in which the protection arrangement allows contact between the current collector and a corresponding current supply during charging of the energy storage and where the protection arrangement is automatically opened from the protective state to the open state when the vehicle has reached a predefined charging position. The current collector can be enclosed when the vehicle is not charged and the protection arrangement can open automatically when a charging position is reached. This can improve the safety of the vehicle and obviate the need of a specific circuit breaker that can disconnect the current collector from the electric energy storage. The charging of the vehicle can also be simplified.

Measurement data collected by isolated ADCs in multiple channels may be related. In such a scenario, data may be transmitted to a microcontroller or programmable logic device for centralized processing. Gain and offset of the ADCs in different channels, particularly their drift relative to one another, is an issue which requires attention. In particular, a pair of precision resistors is provided in calibrate the different channels. The ADCs may be factory calibrated and the ratio between the two precision resistors stored within the ADCs. The ADCs may later self-calibrate by comparing their relative gains to the stored resistor ratio. Gain of one of the ADCs may be adjusted relative to the other in order to maintain a relative gain calibration. Although absolute gain is not calibrated (as the resistors are isolated) for particular applications, only relative gain between the ADCs is relevant.

The invention relates to mass spectrometers having secondary electron multipliers with series of discrete dynode stages. The invention particularly relates to an operation with extended dynamic measuring range and extended lifetime. The invention is based on not adapting the dynamic measuring range by control of the gain of the trans-impedance amplifier, nor controlling the multiplier operating voltage, which both are usually too slow, but alternating a number of active and passive dynode stages of a discrete dynode multiplier. Each dynode stage is connected to a discrete voltage supply circuit, being able to be de-energized and short-cut; the multiplier gain is feedback-controlled by energizing or short-cutting dynode stages, serially from the end of the multiplier, as a function of a last measured ion signal; and the multiplier has a single trans-impedance amplifier and a single analog-to-digital converter, measuring and digitizing the output current of the last active dynode stage.

A device for coupling a control unit with a voltage supply. An electrical connection between the voltage supply and the electrical control unit may be opened / closed with a switching element. An electrical resistor, which allows for a limited current flow from the voltage supply to the electrical control unit even when the switching element is open, is parallel to the switching element. Thus, an electrical energy store, such as a capacitor or a similar device, which is to buffer the input voltage at the electrical control unit, is chargeable even when the switching element is open. This is to avoid adverse effects caused by the charging of a capacitor at the input of the control unit when the switching element is closed.
