Latest Patents
Wardlow holds a patent for a "Twist capsule for rotatable payload." This invention relates to an apparatus that allows controllable relative rotation between structures, such as a gimbal and the structure to which it is mounted. The apparatus includes a twist capsule assembly with internal stop mechanisms that prevent excessive clockwise and counterclockwise rotation with respect to a rotation axis. By limiting the amount of relative rotation, the invention enables the use of alternative means for communicating power and signals between structures, thereby reducing the limitations imposed by conventional slip ring assemblies. Furthermore, it incorporates techniques for using conventionally shielded cables and wires in place of slip rings, facilitating improved communication of power and signals during rotation.
