Title: Boat ramp
Inventor: FOXWELL ROBERT D
IPC: B60P3/10
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: The new boat ramp has a ladder-style frame having C-shaped elongated lateral side rails held in spaced apart parallel condition by C-shaped cross support beams. One end of the frame is a water end and the other end is a shore end. At least six hull roller assemblies are mounted on the side rails in laterally paired relationship across from each other and in longitudinally spaced relationship. One lateral pair is at the water end. Each assembly has a roller axle carrying a hull roller at each end. The assemblies are mounted so that their axles are in pivotable elevated transverse orientation above the side rails so as to provide hull conforming support for a boat. A keel assembly having a central keel roller of significant axial length in at the water end. The hull rollers of the hull roller assemblies at the water end and the keel roller are all located in such proximity to each other as to substantially preclude all contact by the bow of a boat against structural elements of the ramp at the water end other than the hull rollers and the keel roller. At the shore end is a braced winch assembly for loading boats onto the ramp. The components of the ramp are styled to permit parcel shipment to any location of all components in unassembled condition. Further, the components are easily assembled using well-known and widely used household tools.

Abstract: A system and methods for generating storm warnings which are precisely tailored automatically for a particular individual or business user's geographic location of interest, which may be provided automatically to the individual user or business. The user establishes an individualized user profile, in which the user may define a particular location of interest and a contact address to which a personalized storm warning is to be delivered. The user may also establish a storm profile defining attribute characteristics of a storm for which the user desires a storm warning to be provided, and an amount of advanced warning to be provided by the personalized storm warning. A  detailed and accurate storm track (12), which includes information describing storm characteristics (severe weather conditions) (28) as well as the current location and predicted track of movement of the storm, is generated (64). The storm track may be generated automatically from weather radar data (64), such as NEXRAD data, either alone, or in combination with local live weather radar information, to provide a more accurate storm track. Generated storm tracks are compared to individual user profiles. Personalized storm warnings (76) identifying in detail the storm conditions approaching a user location of interest and arrival time information for that location of interest are generated for user profiles defining time information for that location of interest are generated for user profiles defining locations of interest within a predicted storm track, if the storm track characteristics of the storm meet the attribute and advance warning characteristics specified in the storm profile established by the user. The personalized storm warnings may be delivered to users via e-mail, cell phone, pager, etc.
