Filed: 2001-11-09
Granted: 2004-07-20
Abstract: A vehicle having a power assist device and an engine protecting apparatus is capable of steering and braking after any abnormality of the engine is detected. The engine protecting apparatus includes a battery, a key switch, a condition switch, a timer and a timer-operative switch. The battery supplies an electric current to the ignition circuit of the engine.      The key switch is disposed between the battery and the ignition circuit and has an ignition terminal. The condition switch turns on and off based on engine conditions. The condition switch is connected to the ignition terminal of the key switch. The timer is connected to the ignition terminal of the key switch and has a predetermined period of time. The timer measures a time period from when the condition switch is turned on. The timer-operative switch is actuated by the timer. The timer-operative switch interrupts the electric current flowing to the ignition circuit when the timer measures the predetermined time period. Therefore, the engine continues to run for a while even after an engine abnormality is detected.

Abstract: A drain assembly (14) for a fluid collection container (10) includes a housing (22) attached to the container and defining a cavity therewithin. A stop (42) is located within the cavity and is fixed relative to the housing. A switch (24) having a closure member formed thereon is mounted within the cavity for rotary movement relative to the housing. In a disclosed embodiment the switch has a tab (52) extending through the housing to facilitate rotation of the switch from outside the housing. A flexible, resilient tube (10) in fluid communication with the interior of the fluid collection container has a portion disposed within the cavity and extending between the stop and the closure member of the switch. The tube is configured so that fluid discharged from the lower end (33) of the tube is discharged through an opening (41) in a lower portion of the housing. When the switch is rotated in one direction, the tube is compressed between the stop and the closure member, thereby preventing fluid flow through the tube. When the switch is rotated in the opposite direction, the closure member rotates away from the stop so as to permit the tube to open, thereby permitting fluid flow to be discharged from the fluid collection container through the tube.

Abstract: The present invention comprises customizable, multimedia messaging over a subscriber television system, such as a cable or satellite system, utilizing a service independent framework. The present invention comprises a multimedia messaging (MMM) server generally located at a headend of a cable or satellit e system, and an MMM client at a communications terminal located remotely with respect to the MMM server. A service provider or operator defines a message configuration that is utilized to present the message content to one or more subscribers. The message configuration includes parameters that control the presentation of the message content. The MMM server receives an MMM request from a service application, and in response thereto, generates an MMM reques t which is sent to the communications terminal, and more particularly, to the MMM client. The MMM client processes the MMM request, including the retrieva l of any message content or the message configuration. The MMM client then presents the message to the subscriber. Since the MMM server and MMM client are platform independent, any number of different services may send uniquely generated and uniquely designed messages for presentation to a subscriber(s) .
