  • Patent number: 11941978
    Abstract: Traffic signal timing plans are derived from vehicle trajectory or probe data. The probe data is collected and archived in a datastore over a sample time on the order of weeks or longer. Probe data is corrected for clock drift, geo-fence filtered to a selected intersection, and then stop line crossings in the intersection are identified and analyzed along with related data to determine the timing plans and schedule for the intersection. In this way, access to government agency timing plans is obviated so as to save time and expense.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11446556
    Abstract: A lightweight compression molded multicolor golf grip having at least a first section and a second section of differing colors and composed of elastomer compounds joined by cross-linking across a sharply defined cross-color interface having an interface transition zone beyond which there is no mixing of the colors. The grip has a soft feel and unique compression characteristics achieved in some embodiments through the controlled use of an expanding blowing agent in a rubber compound. Achieving the sharply defined cross-color interface is due in part to the use of complementary geometries at opposing interface edges to increase the stability of the interface and reduce the flow during molding associated with the increased viscosity of low density rubber compounds, promote cross-linking of the sections, and better distribute and control the consolidation pressure.

  • Patent number: 10729953
    Abstract: A lightweight compression molded multicolor golf grip having at least a first section and a second section of differing colors and composed of elastomer compounds having a density of less than 0.90 g/cc, and joined by cross-linking across a sharply defined cross-color interface having an interface transition zone beyond which there is no mixing of the colors. The grip has a soft feel and unique compression characteristics achieved in some embodiments through the controlled use of an expanding blowing agent in a rubber compound.

  • Patent number: 9300098
    Abstract: An adapter plate is provided for connecting a first conductor pad with a first axis and a second conductor pad with a second axis where the pads have a common bolt pattern. The adapter plate includes a top and bottom surfaces, a first and second ends, a longitudinal axis defined between the ends, and first and second adjustable connectors. The first adjustable connector has arc-shaped slots extending through the top and bottom surfaces at the first end. Similarly, the second adjustable connector has arc-shaped slots extending through the top and bottom surfaces at the second end. The first adjustable connector is connectable to the common bolt pattern so that the top or bottom surface contacts the first conductor pad, while the second adjustable connector is connectable to the common bolt pattern so that the top or bottom surface contacts the second conductor pad.
