Patent number: 11524721Abstract: An assembly includes a pair of frame rails, each of the frame rails elongated along a vehicle-longitudinal axis and having a front portion, a rear portion, and an elevated portion above and between the front portion and the rear portion. The assembly includes a cross-support fixed to at least one of the frame rails at the elevated portion and extending along a cross-vehicle axis from one of the frame rails toward the other of the frame rails. The assembly includes a bracket fixed to the frame rail at the elevated portion and fixed to the cross-support.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Marwan Ahmad Elbkaily, Tushar B. Kamble, Juyoung Lee, Gargi Tandra, Daniel Joseph McCarthy, Jeremiah James Smith

Patent number: 9994262Abstract: A vehicle includes a steel frame, steel bracket, an e-coating layer, and an aluminum cargo bed. The steel frame has a top side. The steel bracket has a zinc-plating, is secured to the top side of the steel frame, and has an upper surface that faces away from the frame. The e-coating layer is deposited externally and collectively on the steel frame and steel bracket. The aluminum cargo bed is secured to the upper surface such that the zinc-plating and e-coating layer are sandwiched between the steel bracket and aluminum cargo bed.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Larry Kube, Kimberly Ann Lazarz, Daniel Joseph McCarthy, Vincent Anthony Chimento

Patent number: 8951187Abstract: An intraoral imaging system includes a receiving module that communicates with an imaging display device. The imaging device includes handle having a transmitter module and a power source as well as neck and head portions that extend from the handle. The device includes a camera module that rotates in the distal and proximal direction to view and process still images and video. The camera module includes a movable image sensor to provide focus capability. The imaging device further includes a control assembly having a plurality of control members. The control assembly includes image capture controls that an operator engages in a lateral motion to capture images or video. A focus control member controls the spatial relationship between the image sensor and the stationary lens and an articulation control member to articulate the camera module to provide a greater range of imaging.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Top Solutions, LLCInventors: David Ryan Anderson, Daniel Joseph McCarthy, Caitlin Elizabeth McCarthy, Alexander Munro, Raime Phillips

Patent number: 7493827Abstract: A variable reluctance load cell for measuring the static or slowly fluctuating load, or tension, on devices is contained in a support tube. A sensor in the tube utilizes opposing C and I shaped magnetic cores attached to opposing ends of the support tube. A magnetic circuit is formed having an inductance defined by the size of the gap between the magnetic cores with the reluctance dominated by the gap. The sensor inductance is coupled with a fixed, predetermined capacitance in a resonant LC circuit, and the resonant frequency is a function of the gap. The sensor is in a cavity within the tube, and the cavity is sealed in a manner that prevents water or other damaging agents from entering the sensor. In this manner, mounting the sensor and tube to a static device and measuring the AC voltage at the sensor, the amount of load, or stress can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Oil States Industries, Inc.Inventors: Richard Madden, Daniel Joseph McCarthy, Gary L.
