Title: Actuation mechanism for a tarping system
Inventor: HENNING STEVEN A
IPC: B60J7/08
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: An open-topped vehicle body (13), such as a dump body, includes a tarping system (16) that is deployed over the body by a pivoting bail member (22). An actuation mechanism (25) applies a torque to the bail member (22) to automatically pivot the member (22) and deploy the tarp (16). The actuation mechanism (25") includes a number of double coil spiral torsion springs (50) anchored on a shaft (67) attached to the dump body. Each spring (50) includes a right hand and a left hand coil portion (52, 54) concentrically wound about an integral center anchor portion (56). The shaft (67) includes an elongated slot (69) to receive and support the center anchor portion (67) of each spring within the mechanism (25"). The coil portions (62, 64) of each spring (50) include a left and right reaction end (58, 60) configured to contact and provide a torsional force against a corresponding reaction post (92) within the housing (80). In one embodiment, the housing (100) is made in two connectable halves with one half of each reaction post (92') integrally formed into each housing half. The actuation mechanism (110) can be used as a knuckle joint connecting the bow extension member (150) and the bow base member (130) in a bow base and bow extension tarp cover system.

Title: Time division partial encryption
Inventor: CANDELORE BRANT L
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2002-10-01
Abstract: An encryption arrangement for multiple encryption of television programs. A system according to embodiments of the present invention multiple encrypts only a portion of the data required for full presentation of a television program to permit coexistence of multiple conditional access encryption systems associated with multiple manufacturer's set-top boxes within a single system. In one embodiment, a time slicing technique is used to encrypt portions of a program on a time allocated basis. By only encrypting a portion of the program, dramatically less bandwidth is consumed than the alternative of multiple encryption of all program data, thus permitting a larger number of programs to be carried over the same bandwidth while permitting coexistence of multiple conditional access systems in a single cable television system.
