Abstract: The present invention involves a hitch pin for connecting a drawn vehicle to a towing vehicle. The hitch pin includes a pin having a lower end and a transverse collar near its upper end, a handle mounting member extending upwardly at the upper end, and a handle pivotally connecting to the handle mounting member at an axis. The handle includes a pivot portion having a locking lever biased from pivoting downwardly and a latch portion. A first embodiment of the present invention includes the handle mounting member having two opposing flanges with flat inner surfaces and the pivot portion having flat sides such that pivot portion pivotally connects to the mounting member with the sides respectively facing the inner surfaces. A second embodiment thereof includes the handle mounting member having flat sides and the pivot portion having two opposing flanges with flat inner surfaces such that pivot portion pivotally connects to the mounting member with sides respectively facing the inner surfaces. When the handle connects to the handle mounting member, the locking lever engages a notch formed on the handle mounting member and the latch portion engages the lower end of the pin, defining a locked position of the hitch pin. When pressure is applied downwardly against the locking lever, the locking lever pivots downwardly such that it clears the notch, disengaging the latch portion from the lower end and allowing pivotal movement of the handle about the axis.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electrically resistance insulator for use in supporting a helical heater coil at seven locations on the coil. The insulator is supported from a support structure and has a pair of arms that extend from the base for supporting the heater coil. The arms have an intermediate slot and two inwardly extending notches at the bottom of the arms. The notches and the intermediate slot support three consecutive convolutions of the coil relative to the insulator at one axial side of the coil. The arms of the insulator further have shoulders which provide a widened slot area and defined lug portions at the upper parts of the arms.      The width of the lug portions taper outwardly to permit for two adjacent convolutions of the heater coil to be supported on opposing sides of each of the lug portions. Since two lug portions are provided, one for each arm, the heater coil is supported at four locations consecutive coil convolutions by the lug portions of the insulator. The lug portions extend beyond the shoulder to support the four coil convolutions at convolutions diametrically opposed and interleaved with the three consecutive coil convolutions of the one axial side of the coil. The heater coil is held in place reducing bowing of the heater coil above the insulator.

Granted: 2003-04-22
Abstract: A method for analyzing traffic data generated by a plurality of web servers, which host a single web site. The site is mirrored on each server. A traffic data hit is generated responsive to each access of one of the servers. The hit includes data representing the time of the access. Each data hit is stored in a log file (46A, 48A, 50A) on the server accessed. The first-stored data hit is read from each server. Each of the read data hits are compared (64), and the oldest data hit is passed to log file analyzer (66). The next-stored data hit is read from the server from which the passed data hit was read, and a second comparison is performed on the read data hits, with the oldest data hits being passed to the log file analyzer. This process continues until all of the data hits are read, compared, and passed to the log file analyzer. This results in passing all of the data hits to the log file analyzer in the chronological order in which the hits were generated.
