Abstract:
A non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly incorporates a tire tread and a conventional vehicle wheel with an elastomer tire body element molded for engagement intermediate the tread and wheel. The tire body element includes multiple concentric layers with alternating spokes. A bonded multilayer cover may be employed which is received within a recess in an outer surface of the tire body element from the tire tread. A mounting plate is engaged to the cover and attached to the wheel.

Abstract:
A latching system for removably securing a first structure to a second structure. The system includes at least one magnetically permeable latch bar pivotally coupled to the first structure, and a biasing spring that pivots the latch bar to a latched position within a recess in the second structure, thereby securing the first structure to the second structure. Additionally, the system includes an unlatching tool that includes an embedded magnetized bar that generates a magnetic field around the unlatching tool. The unlatching tool can be used to pivot the latch bar to an unlatched position by placing the unlatching tool in close proximity to the latch bar such that the magnetic field exerts a rotational force on the latch bar, thereby pivoting the latch bar to the unlatched position.

Abstract:
An assembly for deployment and retraction of a panel for outer space environment usage, includes a member secured to the panel with the member having an axis of rotation. Mass component connected to the panel, with panel wrapped about member with mass component positioned a first radial distance from the axis of rotation. Mass component has a mass per unit area greater than a mass per unit area of the panel adjacent to the mass component. With a rate of rotation of the mass component and member being same, the mass component rotates about the axis of rotation at a second radial distance from the axis of rotation, wherein the second radial distance is greater in dimension than the first radial distance. With a rate of rotation of the mass component and the member changed to be different, radial distance of the mass component to the axis of rotation decreases.

Abstract:
A heating blanket is disclosed. The heating blanket may include a thermoplastic matrix configured to become conformable at a predetermined temperature, a conductor embedded in the thermoplastic matrix and configured to receive electrical current and generate a magnetic field in response to the electrical current, and a plurality of susceptors embedded in the thermoplastic matrix and composed of a magnetic material having a Curie point.
