Title: Retractable snow plow wing assembly
Inventor: IRVING COLIN EDWIN
IPC: E02F3/76
Filed: 2000-07-10
Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: A side wing plow assembly for use on a vehicle comprises an elongated blade, an articulated forward connector assembly for connecting the inner end of the blade to the vehicle and a rear connector assembly for connecting the outer end of the blade to the vehicle rearwardly of the vehicle cab. The forward connection assembly includes a generally vertical inner plate member for attachment to the vehicle frame and a generally vertical outer plate member laterally spaced from the inner vertical plate. A transverse plate member pivotally connects to lower regions of the inner and outer plate members. An upper hydraulic cylinder connects between upper regions of the inner and outer plate members and a lower hydraulic cylinder connects between an upper region of the inner plate member and a lower region of the outer plate member. The upper cylinder is adapted to tilt the outer plate member and blade and the lower cylinder is adapted to raise and lower the outer plate member and blade. A blade support plate is hinged to the outer plate member by means of a vertical hinge, with the blade being connected to the support plate by means of a horizontal pivot pin allowing the blade to swing up and down relative to the support plate. The rear connector assembly includes a telescopic arm pivotally connectable at its inner end to the vehicle and pivotally connected at its outer end to the outer end of the blade, the arm including a hydraulic cylinder for extending and retracting the telescopic arm. A further hydraulic cylinder is pivotally connected between the vehicle and an upwardly extending bracket on the telescopic arm, this further hydraulic cylinder being adapted to raise and lower the outer end of the blade.

Abstract: This invention is a Global Positioning System (GPS) based personal athletic performance monitor for providing an athlete with real time athletic perfonnance feed back data such as elapsed exercise time, distance covered, average pace, elevation difference, distance to go, and/or advice for reaching preset targets. The monitor is inte-grated with an AM/FM/TV personal radio (607), and the athletic performance feed-back is provided through a set of audio headphones (202) using an audio module (606). The monitor can be connected to an external personal computer (701) via a se-rial (118) or infrared port (124) for further data storage, for long term trend analysis, or to a remote computer via modem (613), where historical performance data is col-lected, and logically compiled from partici-pating athletes worldwide. Results are then transferred to an Intemet web site which displays comparison data representing the relative performances of two or more ath-letes, provides customized individual train-ing advice, virtual competitions, and an opportunity for advertisers to reach highly well defined potential customers.

Title: Imaging system for vehicle headlamp control
Inventor: STAM JOSEPH S
IPC: H04N3/15
Filed: 1999-06-04
Granted: 2007-03-13
Abstract: An imaging system for use in a vehicle headlamp control system includes an aperture, an image sensor, a red lens blocking red complement light between the aperture and the image sensor, and a red complement lens blocking red light between the aperture and the image sensor. Each lens focuses light onto a different subwindow of the imag e sensor. The imaging system allows processing and control logic to detect the presence of headlamps on oncoming vehicles and tail ligh ts on vehicles approached from the rear for the purpose of controlling headlamps. A light sampling lens may be used to redirect light rays from an arc spanning above the vehicle to in front of the veicle into substantially horizontal rays. The light sampling lens is imaged by the image sensor to produce an indication of light intensity at various elevations. The processing and control logic uses the light intensity to determine whether headlamps should be fumed on or off. A shutter may be used to protect elements of the imaging system from excessi ve light exposure.

Abstract: According to the inventive method for determining the dialysance of a dialysis machine during an extracorporeal blood treatment, the concentration of a par-ticular substance in the dialysis liquid is altered in the channel of the dialysis liquid, upstream of the dialysis machine. The concentration of said substance is al-tered based on a predetermined starting value and then restored to the starting value. The concentration of the substance in the dialysis liquid is measured with a mea-suring device (17, 18) located upstream or downstream of the dialysis machine. The quotient from the integral of the difference between the outgoing concentration in the dialysis liquid cdo(t) and the predetermined starting value cdol over time and the integral of the difference between the incoming concentration in the dialysis liq-uid cdi(t) and the starting value cdil over time is cal-culated in an evaluation and arithmetic unit (23) and the dialysance is then determined based on the quotient calculated and the flow rate Qd of the dialysis liquid in the channel of the dialysis liquid.

Title: Improved process and apparatus for preventing oxidation of metal
Inventor: LEWIS MICHAEL E
IPC: C23F13/08
Filed: 2001-12-10
Granted: 2006-11-14
Abstract: An apparatus for prevention of corrosion in metal objects uses a capacitively coupled fastener or pad attached to a metal body being protected from corrosion. The metal body and the negative terminal of a source of DC voltage (battery) are grounded. The positive terminal of the source of DC voltage is connected to electronic circuitry that imparts pulses of low voltage DC through the capacitor to the fastener. These pulses of electrical current inhibit the oxidation of the metal object by providing a source of electrons to the oxidizing chemicals in contact with the metal. The electronic circuitry includes a reverse voltage protector to prevent the application of reverse source voltage. The circuitry also includes a power conditioner to supply a constant DC  voltage to a microprocessor. The microprocessor generates pulses of DC signals that are amplified by a pulse amplifier and imparted to the conductive facing of the pad. For larger objects, a first and second cable are attached to a metal object. A phase compensated signal is applied to each cable to provide a phase synchronous signal at the metal object. The invention also includes a battery voltage monitor and a power indicator to indicate battery level. When the battery voltage drops below a reference level, the microprocessor senses this low voltage condition and shuts off operation of the pulse amplifier, thereby conserving battery power.
