Application number: 17/629,798

Abstract:
This disclosure describes manufacture of a mixture and use of same to fabricate different types of electronic components. In one configuration, the mixture includes: first particles, the first particles being an insulator material; second particles, the second particles being electrically conductive metal material; and a combination of the first particles and the second particles suspended in a printable liquid medium, the printable liquid/solid medium (slurry) being curable into a dielectric layer of material. According to one configuration, the printable material is disposed and cured on a substrate. The first particles and second particles are randomly distributed in the cured printed material (dielectric material). The second particles in the cured dielectric material are transformable into one or more electrically conductive paths, electronic components, etc., via application of heat above a threshold value. Thus, a dielectric (insulator) material can be transformed into an electrically conductive path via application of heat.

Abstract:
A bipod flexure mount couples an optic to a base while isolating the optic from strain to resist wavefront error. The bipod flexure mount has a distal attachment pad to be coupled to the optic and a proximal attachment pad to be coupled to the base. A pair of beams extend between and couple the distal and proximal attachment pads. The distal attachment pad, the proximal attachment pad and the pair of beams are disposed in and define a planar layer with opposite planar surfaces that are substantially parallel. The bipod flexure mount is relatively flexible about four degrees of freedom and is relatively stiff about two degrees of freedom.

Application number: 17/539,152

Abstract:
A tuned mass absorber assembly comprises a mass structure, and a flexure system comprising first and second flexure sections (e.g., cross bar flexures) supported by, and extending in opposing directions from, the mass structure. The flexure system can comprise flexure section mounts situated at distal ends of the first and second flexure sections, respectively, and that are operable to mount the tuned mass absorber assembly to a structure subject to induced vibrations therein. A mass of the mass structure and a stiffness of the flexure system can be tuned to attenuate vibrations at a specific input frequency generated in response to induced vibrations of the structure. A system can comprise a vibration isolator attached to a chassis (e.g., of an airplane), and supporting a payload (sensors(s)) and isolating the payload from vibrations. A tuned mass absorber assembly can be mounted to the vibration isolator for attenuating vibrations at a specific input frequency that may affect the payload.
