Abstract: An automotive vehicle frame reinforcement system has a skeleton member (16) designed to be placed in a cavity defined in a vehicle frame, such as a roof or pillar section. An expandable material (30), such as an epoxy-based reinforcing foam, is disposed on the skeleton member (16). Once the system is attached to the frame, the foam expands and cures during an automobile assembly operation, bonding the reinforcement system to the frame. As a result, the reinforcement system provides enhanced load distribution over the vehicle frame without adding excessive weight.

Title: Grain storage tank covers, and tanks covered
Inventor: DEPOORTER MARK CHARLES
IPC: A01D43/063
Filed: 2002-09-19
Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: Novel covers for grain storage tanks on harvesting machines such as combines. Rigid cover panels of the cover are preferably fabricated of double-wall plastic to limit weight of the cover while providing desired strength and rigidity. The rigid cover panels can be pivoted about top edges of an underlying grain tank whereby the cover panels function as a height extension of the underlying tank, thus to increase the grain-carrying capacity of the tank. Flexible transition panels are preferably mounted to the rigid cover panels to bridge spaces between edge regions of the rigid cover panels when the rigid cover panels are raised to their upright, tank-extending orientations. A preferably single underlying actuator in the tank, in combination with mechanical linkages, can simultaneously raise all the rigid cover panels, all the flexible transition panels, and the discharge end of a clean grain elevator which discharges grain into the tank.

Title: Application of wavefront sensor to lenses capable of post-fabrication power modification
Inventor: MALONEY ROBERT
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 2001-03-20
Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of implementing an optical element having a refraction modulating com-position. The methods include using a wavefront sensor to provide an optical measurement of the optical element. The present invention also relates to systems comprising an optical element having a refraction modulating composition and a wavefront sensor.  An embodiment is described in which the optical element is an intraocular lens. Optical aberrations of the lens measured by the wavefront sensor are corrected by photo-polymerization of the refraction modulating composition which alters the refractive properties of the lens. Correction of lens refractive errors can be carried out after the lens has been implanted in the eye.
