Title: Utility rack for a pickup truck
Inventor: RIDDLE ALBERT CARL
IPC: B60R9/10
Filed: 2002-12-19
Abstract: The rack for mounting to a vehicle includes horizontal upper and lower cross members. A pair of downwardly disposed mounting posts are mounted on opposite ends of the upper cross member. Where the truck is a pickup truck having a cargo box, the posts fit downwardly into the post holes in the side walls of the pickup truck box. At least one wheel clamp assembly is mounted, at it's an upper end, to the upper cross member and mounted at its lower end to the lower cross member. Each wheel clamp assembly includes first and second opposed facing parallel vertical clamp members defining a wheel receiving space therebetween sized for snug mating on either side of a wheel disposed between the clamp members and the cross members. The clamp members each have laterally aligned apertures therethrough. The apertures are sized and positioned to accommodate a lock bar of a lock, such as a U- shaped lock, journalled therethrough so that the lock bar may be inserted through the spokes of the wheel and so that a U- shaped hasp of the lock may be positioned over upper ends of the clamp members into locking engagement with the lock bar journalled through the apertures.

Title: A communication multiplexor for use with a database system implemented on a data processing system
Inventor: LIND JON A
IPC: G06F16/176
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: A communications multiplexor includes dispatcher processes for monitoring client connections. The dispatcher processes detect activity on those connections, and then pass active physical (client) connections to agent processes for servicing. Transfer is done through specific connection queues that are associated with a set of agents. A multi-queuing structure permits pooling of agents on a set of shared resources thereby reducing time require d to switch between different client connections. After an agent has serviced a given connection , the agent returns that connection to the agent's dispatcher (there is a static assignment between connections and dispatchers), and then reads the next unit of work from the agent's associat ed connection queue. This structure may be scalable while allowing optimal performance when passi ng physical connections between processes.

Inventor: REGULA KENNETH
IPC: B65G47/252
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high-speed container unscrambler. The invention comprises of an apparatus for alignment, orientation of containers and sets of conveyor belts between which the containers are placed. The alignment mechanism has a photo eye that detects a presence of a container and a servomotor that is activated by the photo eye. The servomotor has a three hook arm mounted to it, which serves to lift the containers by their leading end when they are coming with a neck leading position. When containers are coming in with a base leading position, the hook does not engage the containers and the containers are passing by without engagement. The containers are released between the conveyor belts aligned in the same position and move towards an orientation mechanism, which places the containers in an all-standing position. The orientation mechanism comprises of a photo eye, which detects a presence of a container, and a servomotor, that is activated by the photo eye. The servomotor has a pocketed wheel mounted on it, which serves to engage containers and rotate them to all standing position. Once the containers are oriented in all standing position, they are released between the belts and proceed for further processing.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une automobile équipée d'un système de surveillance du système électrique qui aboutit à la détection des phénomènes d'arc électrique dans le système de distribution électrique de l'automobile, avec la possibilité d'avertir de tels phénomènes et de s'en protéger. Pour surveiller le système de distribution électrique de l'automobile, le système de l'invention sonde les fréquences des signaux du système grâce à un filtrage approprié. L'un des types de filtrages auxquels on peut avoir recours repose sur un circuit de détection hétérodyne capable d'un filtrage variable des fréquences de façon à filtrer un signal caractéristique du courant circulant dans l'un au moins des circuits électriques de l'automobile. La sortie de ce circuit de détection hétérodyne est configurée de façon à produire un signal en relation logarithmique avec le signal filtré. Si le signal de sortie dépasse une limite définie (caractéristique du bruit) pendant une période définie (caractéristique à la durée habituelle de l'art), le système produit un signal d'arc. Ce signal d'arc est ensuite utilisable pour mettre en oeuvre un interrupteur de circuit ou un indicateur dans un système de protection de circuit, voire les deux.
