Abstract: A reinforced inflatable structure includes an inflatable member having a longitudinal axis. The member includes a bladder and a braided restraint layer mounted to the bladder. A plurality of spaced supports is mounted on the member and extends outwardly therefrom. A plurality of spaced bracing cables are connected at each end to a respective one of the plurality of supports. The cables are oriented generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the member and are held at a generally fixed distance from the member by the supports. The inflatable member tensions the bracing cables rendering them capable of resisting bending.

Abstract: A parachute assembly includes a canopy central panel of square configuration, a rectangular canopy outboard arm fixed to each side edge of the canopy central panel and extendible outwardly therefrom to form a cross configuration, each of the canopy outboard arms having two outboard corners. A suspension line is fixed to each of the outboard corners, the suspension lines being of equal length for initial deployment of the parachute assembly. A first suspension line fixed to a canopy first outboard arm at a corner thereof is extendible to cause a spinning motion and increased rate of descent of the parachute. A second suspension line fixed to a canopy second outboard arm at a corner thereof closer to the first suspension line is extendible to influence the spinning motion, rate of descent, and horizontal velocity and direction.

Abstract: An inflated tube for use as a structual element has the distinction of using spiralling, high strength ribbons mounted on a fabric skin containing a bladder. Ribbons are also mounted on the outside of the skin parallel to the axis of the tube to reinforce the tube against bending forces. The use of ribbons provides a less expensive structural element than that made of woven fibers. The application is for only moderate loads and moderate spans compared to the those made of woven fibers.

Abstract: A soft landing assembly for a parachute includes an altitude sensor mounted on the parachute and a control assembly mounted on the parachute for activating parachute landing velocity affectors at preselected altitudes detected by the altitude sensor. A first of the parachute landing velocity affectors is an automatic riser slip actuator for providing a riser slip, and thereby horizontal velocity reduction at an optimum time and in an optimum direction. A second of the parachute landing velocity affectors is an automatic pneumatic muscle retraction actuator for providing vertical retraction of a parachutist, and thereby vertical velocity reduction of the parachutist, at an optimum time prior to impact with ground.

Abstract: A curved, inflated, tubular beam consists of braided fibers and axial fibers on an elastomeric barrier. The construction can be accomplished on a short, straight mandrel. The curvature along the beam can be varied to suit the design needs. The angle of the braid in the bias fibers determines the inflated curvature when axial fibers situated within the braid along the inside of the curvature constrain the elongation on the inside of the curvature. The curved shape can be reinforced by having tape cemented to the outside of the inflated tube. While very small and very large tubes can be perfected for a range of inflation pressures and beam strengths, the preferred embodiment is a 12 3/4-inch diameter tube, 60 feet long forming an arch for a tent 30 feet wide and 24 feet high.

Abstract translation: 弯曲的，膨胀的管状梁由弹性体屏障上的编织纤维和轴向纤维组成。 该结构可以在短直的心轴上完成。 梁的曲率可以根据设计需要而变化。 当偏心纤维内的编织物中的轴向纤维沿着曲率的内侧限制了曲率内侧的伸长时，偏心纤维中的编织物的角度决定了膨胀曲率。 弯曲的形状可以通过将胶带胶合到充气管的外部来加强。 虽然对于一定范围的充气压力和梁强度来说，非常小而非常大的管可以被完善，但是优选的实施例是直径为12英寸/ 4英寸的管，60英尺长的管，形成用于30英尺宽和24英尺高的帐篷的拱 。
