Patent number: 10093027Abstract: A cutter apparatus includes a housing shaped to be hand-held, the housing including first and second handle portions shaped and/or adapted to interfit together, a blade holder configured to support a blade, and a lock/unlock mechanism for securing the handle portions together, the lock/unlock mechanism including multiple actuators operable for extending the blade from the housing, the actuators including a primary actuator coupled to the blade holder and repositionable in relation to the housing, and at least one auxiliary actuator including a first auxiliary actuator supported by and repositionable in relation to the first handle portion. The primary and auxiliary actuators are biased toward and/or repositionable to respective locations at which an aperture of the first auxiliary actuator coaligns or registers with an opening in the first handle portion in an unlock configuration that allows a user of the cutter apparatus to reposition/separate the handle portions from each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: PACIFIC HANDY CUTTER, INC.Inventors: Joseph P.

Patent number: 6957171Abstract: A gaseous fuel storage system included in a vehicle to supply fuel to a power source (e.g., an engine, fuel cell and the like) is diagnosed and controlled by a monitoring/evaluation and control system. Various parameters with reference to gas temperature, gas pressure, gas density and damage and shock of a vessel containing the pressurized gas are provided by respective sensors mounted on and in vessels of a gas storage system. A control module determines whether maintenance of the vessels is required based on the sensed parameters. If maintenance is necessary, the components will be replaced with new ones or the entire gas storage system or the vessel will be replaced. If necessary, a warning is provided to avoid operation of the power source and the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2003Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Saskatchewan Research CouncilInventors: Nicholas Peter White, Bryan Chris Lung
