  • Web-based navigational system for the disabled community
    Publication number: 20060146719
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for using a Web-based navigational tool, to assist people of varying physical ability levels in identifying shortest feasible routes through urban environments. One embodiment of the present invention is comprised of an application, which is constructed using Scalar Vector Graphics (created by Adobe(®) for data presentation and Java2® technology for route computation. The present invention allows users to select an origin, a destination, and an ability level. In one embodiment of the present invention a user may choose which of three options best matches their ability level: ambulatory, ambulatory with aid, or disabled. The present invention then returns a fast, accurate route and its distance. Since the present invention is served over the Web, it is very accessible to the university community and the general public as well.

  • Spray nozzle arrangement
    Patent number: 6193166
    Abstract: An assembly 10 fed by a pressurised pipe 2 and comprising three differently rated spray nozzles 11, 12, 13 is mounted on a spray boom so that 11, 12 and 13 traverse the same area. The nozzles 11, 12, 13 are independently remotely pneumatically controlled to give an overall spray rate range of from 0.4 to 2.5 liter/min., useful in precision farming.

  • Monitoring of electrical insulation integrity
    Patent number: 4301399
    Abstract: The integrity of the insulation of an electrical device composed of at least two conductive members having a potential therebetween and at least two insulating layers successively surrounding the conductive members, is monitored by interposing an electrically conductive, integrity monitoring layer between the two insulating layers so that a first one of the insulating layers is disposed between the conductive members and the conductive layer and a second one of the insulating layers is disposed between the conductive layer and the environment surrounding the device, monitoring the impedance of the first layer between the conductive members and the conductive layer, and monitoring the impedance of the second layer between the conductive layer and the surrounding environment.
