  • Patent number: 11946238
    Abstract: A modular poppet assembly system for a toilet tank flush valve assembly, the modular system comprising a first float portion; and two or more second float portions; wherein, the first float portion is configured to removably attach to each of the two or more second float portions to form two or more poppet assemblies, each of the two or more poppet assemblies comprise a different buoyancy, each of the two or more poppet assemblies allow the toilet tank to fill to substantially a same water volume, and as the poppet assembly buoyancy increases, an increase in flush volume is provided.

  • Publication number: 20130328713
    Abstract: An explosion detection apparatus (20) comprises a first path pickup means (21) for picking up a path portion ahead of the vehicle and generating first data describing the picked-up path portion, storing means (23) for storing the first path data, motion detection means (24) for detecting motion of the vehicle and generating motion data, a second path pickup means (22) for picking up a path portion underneath the vehicle and generating second, a comparing means (25) for comparing at least a portion of the first data with at least a portion of the second data in accordance with the motion data, and an explosion judging means (26) judging that an explosion has occurred when a predetermined difference between the compared data has been found. A vehicle may be equipped with such an apparatus and may comprise an emitter for generating counteracting forces upon detection.

  • Publication number: 20050001786
    Abstract: Control device (computer mouse) for moving a visual pointer on a display constituting part of a user interface for computer equipment. The control device is designed to be used hand held free of support from any surface, as the movement of the pointer in two dimensions takes place by means of a guide pin), a so-called joy-stick. The guide pin preferably has a double function so that it may also be used for scrolling the display. The control device may include an attachment for the user's hand or wrist, and may be integrated with a telephone receiver or with a remote control for a television set or the like.

  • Publication number: 20040088805
    Abstract: A passenger boarding bridge for use by passengers in an airport terminal for embarking to and disembarking from a parked aircraft is provided with a resilient canopy that conforms to the shape of the outside surface of a parked aircraft without the aid of any external driving assembly or linkages directly attached thereto. The resilient canopy is useful with a wide range of airplanes sizes and, in contrast to existing steel framed weather shielding bellows, the canopy is particularly suited to the rapidly changing curvature of smaller planes and significantly inexpensive to construct.
