Abstract: An electric motor built for exposure to high pressure fluid includes a unitary metal sleeve that provides a fluid barrier between the rotor and the stator. An overmolded resin encapsulates the stator windings and reinforces the sleeve to minimize deformation of the sleeve under high fluid pressures. The overmolded resin also fixes the positions of insulation displacement connectors connected to the stator windings, thereby avoiding mechanical brackets and fasteners for holding the insulation displacement connectors in position.

Abstract: An angular rate sensor has a ring, a plurality of sensor-drivers, circuitry, a controller, an energy sensor, and an output signal generator. The sensors-drivers may be capacitors, inductors, or a sensor having a piezoelectric material. The sensor-drivers each have a component that vibrates along with the ring, and the sensor-drivers are arranged in cooperating sets, each cooperating set having two sensor-drivers positioned 180° apart. The circuitry can selectively engage some of the cooperating sets as sensors and others of the cooperating sets as drivers. Those sets used as sensors sense motion of the ring. Those sets used as drivers apply forces to the ring. Some of the drivers cause the ring to vibrate at its natural frequency, and some of the drivers seek to inhibit motion of the ring at particular locations. Locations at which drivers seek to inhibit motion are those locations that would be nodes in the absence of angular motion.

Abstract: An actuator system comprising a shared link arranged to pivot about a first axis relative to a reference structure, a controlled element arranged to pivot about a second axis relative to the reference structure, a first member arranged to pivot about a third axis relative to the shared link and a fourth axis relative to the controlled member, a first actuator arranged to control a first variable distance between the third axis and fourth axis, a second member arranged to pivot about a fifth axis relative to the shared link and a sixth axis relative to the controlled element, a second actuator arranged to control a second variable distance between the fifth axis and the sixth axis, the system configured such that a change in the first variable distance causes rotation of the controlled element about the second axis when the second variable distance is constant and vice versa.

Abstract: An improved fin retention and release mechanism (15) comprising an elongated body (16), at least one fin (18a) mounted to the body and capable of moving from a stowed position (30) to a deployed position (32), an actuator (20a) connected to the fin and arranged to rotate the fin about a first axis (33), a fin retention member (19a) connected to the body and configured and arranged to rotate about a second axis (34) from a locked position (36) to a release position (38), the fin and the fin retention member configured and arranged such that the fin is held in the stowed position by the fin retention member when being in the locked position and the fin is not held in the stowed position by the fin retention member when being in the release position, and wherein actuation of the fin about the first axis by the actuator rotates the fin about the first axis in a first direction (39) and correspondingly rotates the fin retention member about the second axis in a second direction (40) opposite to the first direction and from the locked position to the release position.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted weapon station is configurable to adjust the height of a rotational elevation axis thereof. The weapon station is provided with at least one fixed hanging ammunition container that is reloadable under the armored protection of the vehicle and the weapon station shell. The weapon station may have both electrically-powered and manually-powered drive systems for rotating a pedestal about an azimuth axis relative to the vehicle, and for rotating weaponry and operational units about the elevation axis, wherein the electrical and manual drive systems transmit power through the same output gear.

Abstract: A low-cost, lightweight telescoping torque tube assembly is reliable, safe, and easy to operate. The assembly has no loose fasteners, and no tools are required to operate the telescoping assembly. The telescoping torque tube assembly has only two parts, namely an end fitting and a torque tube. A resiliently deflectable locking tab is provided on one of the parts, and the locking tab is received by a corresponding locking slot formed in the other part. The locking tab has an abutment edge, and the locking slot has a limit edge facing the abutment edge for engaging the abutment edge when the locking tab is undeflected to prevent axially directed adjustment of the end fitting relative to the torque tube from an extended position toward a retracted position. A user deflects the locking tab to enable adjustment of the end fitting from the extended position to the retracted position.

Abstract: Ammunition containers are reloadable from within an armored vehicle to supply a remote weapon system mounted externally on the vehicle. The ammunition containers are designed to be fixedly mounted within an internal compartment of a weapon turret. In a first embodiment, at least one guide wall defines a spiral guide path for an ammunition belt, and a rotatable sprocket enables the belt to be loaded into the guide path. In a second embodiment, an ammunition clamp holds a round of ammunition, and the clamp is rotatable to wind the ammunition belt about the clamp's axis of rotation. A third embodiment has a guide sprocket and an adjacent peg to facilitate reloading an ammunition belt in horizontal layers. A fourth embodiment includes a pair of spaced support rails for hanging an ammunition belt in vertical columns, wherein rear ends of the rails may be located outside the container for easier loading.

Abstract: An electromechanical actuator (“EMA”) is provided with redundant load paths for driving the actuator stroke. The EMA includes a rotatable screw, a nut mated with the screw and having an external toothed surface, and a rotatable spline member having a splined surface engaging the external toothed surface of the nut. An actuator rod is coupled to the nut for linear movement with the nut. A first motor is operable to rotate the screw relative to the nut to cause the nut to travel linearly along the screw, and a second motor is operable to rotate the spline member and nut such that the nut travels linearly along the screw. Consequently, the actuator rod moves linearly by operation of the first motor alone, by operation of the second motor alone, and by simultaneous operation of the first and second motors. A no-back device may be incorporated into each load path.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system with a build chamber has a halide vessel that generates a halide gas and a dissociation chamber with a filament. Metal condensate is contacted with the halide gas to form a gaseous metal halide compound. The gaseous metal halide compound is decomposed to deposit metal on the filament. In an example, titanium reacts with gaseous iodine to form gaseous titanium tetraiodide.
