Patent number: 8618766Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system for recharging a mobile robot as a power source. In one embodiment the system comprises a power transmission link having a first end positioned at a selectively located charging station and a second end connected to the battery carried by the robot, the transmission link being configured to transmit power from its first end to its second end to charge the battery. The system further comprises a first wireless power transmitter coupled to receive power from a specified power source, and a first wireless power receiver, connected to the first end of the transmission link and located at a prespecified distance from the first wireless power transmitter. The first wireless power receiver is configured to receive power transmitted across the prespecified distance from the first wireless power transmitter, and to provide power to the first end of the transmission link, for transmission to charge the battery.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Noel Wayne Anderson, Alex D. Foessel, Andrew Joseph Valentine

Patent number: 6355180Abstract: A covering, cleaning and heating system, which includes a solar cover dimensioned for covering a swimming pool and effectively heating the water therein using solar energy. The solar cover has a free end securable to an elongated pole. The elongated pole has a rope loop which facilitates selective securement of the pool cover to the elongated pole without requiring permanent fastening thereof. The elongated pole has a offset handle disposed on a free end thereof which acts like a crank such that whereby rotation of the handle will cause the solar cover to wrap around the elongated pole. A bracket is fixed at or near the periphery of the pool. The elongated pole selectively extends into the bracket while the cover is being rolled up or unrolled. A cleaning portion is also selectively secured within the bracket at the periphery of the swimming pool. The cleaning portion has a horizontal pole which attaches within the bracket and extends outwardly therefrom over the swimming pool.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2000Date of Patent: March 12, 2002Inventor: Joseph Valentine

Patent number: 5964491Abstract: A modular package tray for an automotive vehicle, comprising: a generally hollow, generally rectangular plastic housing 10 having an interior cavity 12, opposed upper and lower wall sections 14/15, opposed forward and rearward longitudinal edges 16/17, and opposed left and right lateral edges 18; and left and right wing sections 20 each attached to a respective one of the left and right lateral edges 18 by a living hinge 30 integrally molded with the plastic housing. Each of the wings 20 may be folded about its respective living hinge 30 in order to temporarily reduce the overall length of the package tray, thus permitting the package tray to be easily installed or removed through the rear window of the vehicle. The package tray may further include a center high mount stop light 60, in-molded carpet 40 generally covering the upper wall section 14, and one or more audio speaker assemblies 52.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1999Date of Patent: October 12, 1999Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: Robert Henry Marsh, Joseph Valentine Bejster, Ronald Kemble Roberts, Stephen Michael Lavender
