Abstract: A nose or tail assembly for a flight vehicle is provided in which the deployment of the canards or fins is driven by energy imparted by the shroud when it is released. A tip section is rotatably coupled to a base, and both are stowed in a volume between the shroud and nose/tail assembly. As the shroud is released, a drive feature engages the tip section to rotate and join the base to form a complete canard or fin. This eliminates the need for storing the canards or fins in or wrapped around the body and eliminates the need for a complex deployment mechanism occupying an internal volume of the body. Although viable for all sizes of flight vehicles, the shroud-driven deployment system scales to very small diameter vehicles in which internal volume is not available to store either flight surfaces or deployment mechanisms.

Abstract: A hand control device for controlling a peripheral system is disclosed. The hand control device can include a handle configured to be grasped by a user. The handle can comprise a body portion to be supported against a palm of the user. The hand control device can also include a finger control supported about the handle and comprising a rotatable joint to facilitate control based on flexion/extension of an index finger of the user. In addition, the hand control device can include a thumb control supported about the handle and comprising first and second rotatable joints to facilitate control based on flexion/extension and abduction/adduction of a thumb of the user.

Abstract: A rotary actuation mechanism is disclosed. The rotary actuation mechanism can include an actuator having a body, and a slider movable on a linear path relative to the body. A first linkage can be pivotally coupled to the body at a first pivot having a first axis. A second linkage can be pivotally coupled to the slider at a second pivot having a second axis, and pivotally coupled to the first linkage at a third pivot. A length of the first linkage between the first pivot and the third pivot can be equal to a length of the second linkage between the second pivot and the third pivot. The slider can be movable to position the second axis in a collinear relationship with the first axis. The rotary actuation mechanism can include an anti-singularity device to constrain movement of the body when the first axis and the second axis are in the collinear relationship.

Abstract: A linear/rotary motion transforming device is disclosed. The device includes a first member, a second member, and a third member disposed along an axis such that the second member is disposed between the first member and the third member. The second member is linearly movable along the axis and rotatable about the axis. The third member is rotatable about the axis. Connecting elements pivotally couple the first member and the second member, and the second member and the third member, offset from the axis. The first member and the second member are linearly and rotatably movable relative to one another, and the second member and the third member are linearly and rotatably movable relative to one another. A load input mechanism is operably coupled to the second member or the third member. Load output is transferred via the other of the second member or the third member.
