  • Publication number: 20190069082
    Abstract: A method of transferring audio signals from an analog audio source to an audio sink, where the audio sink has a multiple-pin connector. A cable is coupled to the audio source and to the multiple-pin connector of the audio sink, where the cable is constructed and arranged to carry audio signals. The audio sink detects a return signal provided to the audio sink over the cable, where the audio sink is configured to interpret the receipt of a return signal as indicating that an audio source is operably connected to the audio sink by the cable. Responsive to this detecting, the audio sink receives audio signals from the audio source over the cable.

  • Patent number: 10089878
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing improved detection of a motor vehicle traveling against a designated direction of travel in a roadway. Multiple signals among various system constituents are checked against each other to ensure the lack of a false wrong way indication otherwise possible by use of a single detector. An alert is provided to the wrong way motor vehicle operator and other vehicle operators in the vicinity of detection. A long-range or cellular communication may be broadcast to further provide an alert of a wrong way event and to dispatch emergency personnel to the vicinity.

  • Publication number: 20180266359
    Abstract: A device and method for preventing and removing piston deposit build-up on a piston cylinder assembly of an engine, including a diesel engine, is disclosed. A cylinder having an inner sleeve for receiving a piston, has a piston scraping ring positioned on the cylinder sleeve. The piston scraping ring includes an inner surface, and has a curved or hook shaped feature on its inner surface. The curved or hook shaped feature, named the ‘power groove’ for the purposes of this application, allows for reduced wear between the piston rings and the cylinder sleeve by reducing the pressure on the piston rings by expanding and reversing the flow of combustion gases. Additionally, this reversal of the combustion gases results in a decrease in blow-by gases passing between the piston rings and cylinder sleeve thereby improving sealing between the piston and the cylinder.
