  • Patent number: 11912545
    Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

  • Patent number: 9826059
    Abstract: Techniques for resource access throttling are described. In implementations, access to a network resource can be controlled based on a variety of factors, such as a type of user requesting access to the network resource. For example, consider a scenario where an online content store is preparing to launch. To prevent resources associated with the online content store from being overwhelmed by the number of requests for access when the store is launched, techniques can be implemented to throttle the number of requests that are granted. For instance, requests for access can be throttled based on different user types.

  • Patent number: 5146967
    Abstract: A golf bag rain cover is provided in the form of an envelope that is open at a bottom edge and has a closed top-edge roof. An access surface is provided with at least one access slot parallel to the roof and positioned a select distance below the roof. An access flap is attached above the slot and allowed to hang down over the access slot to a position below the slot. A quick-disconnect fastener is provided for attaching the access flap to the golf bag rain cover below the access slot. Attachment means, which can be quick-disconnect fasteners, are provided at sides and at an attachment surface of the golf bag rain cover for attachment to framework of a golf car. Typically there are two access slots with access flaps for two golf bags side-by-side on back of a golf car.

  • Patent number: 4361334
    Abstract: A stationary seal seat for a package rotary mechanical seal is formed by compression sealing a ceramic ring within a glass coated metal ring. The ceramic provides the seat for a rotating seal member and the metal ring provides the surfaces which receive the loading forces when mounting the stationary seal seat. The glass coating on the metal functions to fuse the ceramic and metal rings together and provides a gas tight seal at the interface between the two rings. In addition, the ceramic ring has a peripheral groove defining a fluid passage for circulation of a coolant around the ceramic.

  • Patent number: 4162826
    Abstract: A high impact sight glass assembly and production method are described, in which the glass lens is fused into an enamel coated metal ring such that the glass lens is fused to the enamel coating and the entire glass area is under compression. The glass lens is placed in the bore of a flange, and the lens and flange ring are heated, whereby the lens flows to conform to the bore of the flange and is fused to the enamel coating.
