  • Patent number: 8378822
    Abstract: There is a cable theft monitoring system and method configured to protect electrical cables from theft during non-operation hours. The system includes a power circuit configured to provide power. The system also includes a motor coil configured to receive and utilize power. The system further includes a power supply line configured to facilitate power conduction through the motor coil. The system includes a sensor module configured to monitor a characteristic of the power supply line. The sensor module is configured to send an electrical current through the power supply line to the motor coil to detect electrical connection thereto. The system additionally includes an onsite control module configured to provide onsite controls to the cable theft monitoring system. The system also includes an isolation module configured to isolate the sensor module from strong power sources. Furthermore, the system includes a communication module configured to transmit information.

  • Publication number: 20070126252
    Abstract: An interior space expansion system for use with a structure needing collapsible and/or expandable space, including: a base structure having an aperture therethrough; a movable structure disposed within a central region of the base structure when in a sunken position and substantially exterior the base structure when in an elevated position; and a lifting system coupled to the base structure and the movable structure. The base structure is a trailer or recreational vehicle. The movable structure includes a cab a carriage and a footing. The lifting system couples to the footing and transitions the movable structure between the sunken and elevated positions. The lifting system is not substantially disposed within the central region of the base structure when the movable structure is in the elevated position. There is a cap member for covering the aperture when the movable structure is in the sunken position.
