Title: Method of transmitting a high-priority message in a lighting control system
Inventor: HOWE WILLIAM H
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2008-01-28
Abstract: A lighting control system having a plurality of control devices coupled to a communication link operates with a communication protocol that allows the system to expeditiously process high-priority events while operating communicate at a low enough baud rate to allow for a free-wiring topology of the communication link. The transmission of regular-priority messages is suspended if any of the control devices has a high-priority message to transmit. To signal that a control device has a high-priority message to transmit, each control device is operable to transmit a break character in a predetermined time period after the transmission of one of the digital messages. After the transmission of the break character, the transmission of the regular-priority messages on the communication link is suspended to allow the high-priority message to be transmitted quickly.

Title: Swivel safety breakaway connector
Inventor: BROWN ROBIN J
IPC: F16L29/04
Filed: 2010-03-08
Abstract: A safety breakaway connector has a male fitting and a female fitting inserted into one another. The female fitting includes a swivel that rotates about an angle to a breakaway portion of the invention. The swivel has a female portion connected to the breakaway portion and a male portion that pivotally connects to a nozzle. The male portion has an axis spaced apart from the axis of the breakaway portion. The male portion rotates or pivots about the female portion subject to a biased cam. The biased cam has a ball bearing that travels within a race formed in the male swivel. The biased cam provides an offset to the connector so that a fuel line in communication therewith avoids an orientation perpendicular to the direction of travel of a vehicle. The breakaway portion then detaches the fuel line cleanly from the swivel that remains with the fuel nozzle.

Inventor: SANBORN STEVEN L
IPC: F41H1/00
Filed: 2008-09-17
Abstract: An apparatus, method and system to enhance the performance of composite armor by utilizing energy of the threat projectile. The frontal member includes a plurality of concentric grooves on the face opposite of the surface impacted by a projectile, and the grooves mate with a complimentary plurality of concentric channels in a backing plate. The force from the impacting projectile presses the grooves of the frontal member into engagement with the channels of the backing plate. The groove design causes the backing plate to impart a compressive load into the backside of the frontal member, preventing it from prematurely fracturing in tension at the onset of the projectile penetration. The angles of each concentric groove are individually selected to cause the groove induced compressive loads to match the frontal member tensile loads from the penetrating projectile, maintaining the structural integrity of the frontal member until the projectile is defeated.

Inventor: YEAZEL KENNETH L
IPC: F16L55/10
Filed: 2008-10-31
Abstract: A pipe plug comprised of two, pivotally connected plugging heads, each plugging head having a sealing element, which work in combination to double block and bleed a pipe.  The first sealing element prevents flow of product in the pipe and the second sealing element captures any leakage past the first sealing element and forces that leakage out through a fitting. A stabilization pad, connected to a flange on a nosepiece of each plugging head, prevents deformation of the sealing elements. A spring-loaded pivot arm connected to the second plugging head allows the yoke that connects the two plugging heads to rotate freely. An outward-facing raised taper projection on the pivot arm, along with a guide wheel connected to the first plugging head, prevent the yokes and plugging heads from becoming entrapped during their installation in or removal from the pipe.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for imaging features of a CBD in a patient introduces a fluorescent contrast agent into the CBD. A light source transmits both a visible light and a fluorescent light into a patient's abdominal cavity via the laparoscope.  Cameras attached to or integrated into the laparoscope detect visible light images and fluorescent emission light images. The visible light image and fluorescent image signals are processed to combine the fluorescent emission light image signals and visible image signals into a single display signal. The system adjusts the display characteristics, such as color, of the fluorescent emission light image so it contrasts well with the visual light image so the surgeon can easily distinguish between the two images. The display signal is sent to a video monitor where the surgeon views the visible light image and the fluorescent image as a single overlaid image.
