Inventor: SAMARI RAVOSH
IPC: H04H60/32
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: A system that identifies, logs, and reports, with resolution in seconds, which broadcast station a Radio or a Television is tuned to and the instantaneous volume level of the media. The station and volume information gives an indication over statistical ranges of the popularity of the radio/television content and can be used to infer accurate ratings information. Although the device can be used for both radio and television, this document will primarily focus on solving the specific problem of collecting radio ratings in vehicles. The system consists of a unit in a vehicle, a remote unit, and a central server. The vehicular unit identifies the station and volume and wirelessly transmits this information to the remote unit, which then transmits, via the internet, to the central server. The central server collects data from all sources and performs all necessary data formatting.

Title: Fuel vapor vent system and low permeation vacuum operated shut-off valve therefor
Inventor: BENJEY ROBERT PHILIP
IPC: F02M37/00
Filed: 2003-11-28
Abstract: A vacuum operated flow control valve is disposed in the vapor vent line from a fuel tank to a vapor storage canister connected also to the engine air inlet.      The valve has a diaphragm operator of low permeability which is biased normally open to permit fuel vapor to flow from the tank to the canister during engine shutdown. Upon engine startup a vacuum is drawn in the canister and the flow control valve which closes preventing vacuum being drawn in the tank thereby preventing tank collapse. During engine shutdown, if an ambient temperature drop creates a vacuum in the tank, the flow control valve closes; however, an emergency umbrella relief valve opens permitting reverse flow of vapor from the canister to the tank preventing excessive vacuum in the tank.

Abstract: A multi-lap mold manufacturing system includes an overhead rail circuit upon which a multiple of molds transit a closed loop for a multiple of laps. The system is separated into Zones in which a particular mold operation is performed relative to which lap each of the plurality of molds has completed.  At least one of the Zones is a spray Zone in which the mold is sprayed robotically. Robot utilization is extremely high as multiple spray operations occur in but a few spray Zones. Application of exceedingly expensive environmental emission control devices is at least partially mitigated by the reduced number of spray stations and the much smaller factory footprint.  Consolidation of multiple spray operations into a few spray Zones also advantageously simplifies the control of chemical and ambient variables which improves production efficiencies and reduces operator dependency.
