US Patent:

41066332, Aug 15, 1978

Filed:

Feb 24, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/771560

Inventors:

Richard L. Lang - Mount Prospect IL
Dietmar G. Quaas - Arlington Heights IL

Assignee:

Buhrke Industries, Inc. - Arlington Heights IL

International Classification:

B65G 4790

US Classification:

214 1BB

Abstract:

This invention relates to punch presses having a transfer die and a work transfer mechanism for advancing individual workpieces progressively through successive tooling stations of such die at high speed comprising dual intermittent-feed transfer bars slidingly mounted for rotary movement and lifting of said workpieces off the tooling stations of said die, and associated clampbars which retain each workpiece on the transfer bars by free retention of the edges of the workpiece during transfer movement, and which transfer bars deposit said workpieces at the next successive tooling station by rotary movement to release the lifting support of each workpiece from below the same and from the free-retention clamping thereof from above in readiness for the next tooling operation.

International Classification:

F16F 9/53
F16F 9/19

Abstract:

A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes shear thickening fluid (STF), an alternative STF (ASTF), and a chamber configured to contain a portion of the STF and the ASTF. The chamber further includes a piston compartment and an alternative reservoir. The head unit device further includes a reservoir injector configured within the chamber, and a piston housed at least partially radially within the piston compartment. The chamber further includes a set of fluid flow sensors and a set of fluid manipulation emitters to control the reservoir injector to adjust flow of the ASTF from the alternative reservoir to the piston compartment to cause selection of one of a variety of shear rates for a mixture of the STF and the STF within the piston compartment.

International Classification:

F16F 9/30
F16F 9/00
F16F 9/53

Abstract:

A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

Abstract:

A method for execution by a computing entity includes interpreting a magnetic response from a set of magnetic field sensors to produce a piston velocity and a piston position of a piston associated with a head unit device. The head unit device includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) that includes a multitude of magnetic nanoparticles. The method further includes determining a shear force based on the piston velocity and the piston position. The method further includes determining a desired response for the STF based on the shear force, the piston velocity, and the piston position. The method further includes generating a magnetic activation based on the desired response for the STF and outputting the magnetic activation to a set of magnetic field emitters positioned proximal to the chamber.
