Title: Emil A Shtarkman: Innovator in Spacecraft Technology
Introduction
Emil A Shtarkman is a notable inventor based in Marina Del Rey, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of spacecraft technology, particularly in the development of innovative damping mechanisms.
Latest Patents
Shtarkman holds a patent for an "Active ERM damper for spacecraft telescoping structures." This invention features a damped latch mechanism designed for telescoping structures. The mechanism includes an inner tubular member that slides within an outer tubular member. A first latch member is coupled within one tubular member, while a second latch member is attached to the other tubular member. This design selectively prevents the inner tubular member from moving in an axial direction relative to the outer member. The invention also incorporates a fluid chamber containing magneto-rheological fluid, which absorbs shock between the latch members. A magnetic field source is used to alter the viscosity of the fluid, allowing for adjustable damping characteristics.
