Thick-panel origami structures showing deployment from folded to expanded states. Credit: Peng et al./Nature Communications.DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-59141-2.

Ford may also be working on deployable bed fins and dive planes; Ford may be developing roof rails and roof racks that deploy when needed, and stow when not in use to reduce aerodynamic drag, ...

This paper begins with the formulation of a general, rapid design method for deployable mesh reflector antennas based on the AstroMesh architecture. This method is then used to obtain estimates of the ...

Deployable structure technology has been used in aerospace and civil engineering structures very popularly. This paper reported on a recent development of numerical approaches for the kinematic ...

In a patent application published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Feb. 20—but filed on April 26, 2022—Ford details deployable mud flaps that would move outward from ...

Ramadoss et al. summarized a family of deployable mechanisms that approximated a series of curves and surfaces using the polygonal approximation technique (Ramadoss et al., 2019). Xu et al. designed ...

Deployable truss structure can be represented by weighted graph. The detecting of deployable truss structures is thereby transformed into the detecting isomorphism of graph. This paper introduces an ...

Both carry large deployable truss antennas and operate in the S-band, or the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which space frequencies from 2 to 4 gigahertz.

Truss arrived about an hour later, accompanied by her husband, Hugh O’Leary, to become the 15th prime minister to meet with the monarch (her first was Winston Churchill).
