  • Publication number: 20180029478
    Abstract: Air motion generators are mounted on automobile to capture energy from the movement of air from hoods contained fan/electrical producing mechanism. Each hood contain two or more electrical producing mechanisms and one or more fans. The electricity produced by the electrical producing mechanism is stored in a battery for use to power the automobile.

  • Patent number: 7898571
    Abstract: An adaptable system (10) for automatically characterizing a sensor array (12) in software in response to commands from a user. The system (10) includes a first mechanism (12, 16, 18, 20) for acquiring and analyzing image data from the sensor array (12). A second mechanism (90, 114, 124) connected to the first mechanism (12, 16, 18, 20) obtains parameters specific to the sensor array (12). A third mechanism (114, 118, 120) automatically adjusts the first mechanism (12, 16, 18, 20) in accordance with the parameters to efficiently accommodate image acquisition and analysis by the first mechanism (12, 16, 18, 20) from the specific sensor array (12).

  • Publication number: 20040003509
    Abstract: A stud spacer having a light frame with a row of stud-receiving spaced notches-with inverted U-shaped liners attached to forward and rearward walls. The frame is formed by two elongated sections of L-shape in cross section. Two legs of adjusting length support the frame. The liners have walls inclining outwardly at their lower ends.

  • Patent number: 5154531
    Abstract: A corner connector (10) for connecting adjacent first and second spacer sections (20, 22), to form an insulated panel spacer frame includes a first arm (12) joined by a flexible joint (15) to a second arm (14). The second arm includes a recess (44) adjacent the joint, and a deformable projection (46) projecting from an edge of the open face of the recess inwardly toward the bottom of the recess. The first arm includes a securement projection (38) protruding from adjacent the joint (15) that is receivable within the recess of the second arm alongside the deformable projection. The deformable projection is deformed by the securement projection and exerts a compressive force on the securement projection to releasably secure the first and second arms in a desired angular orientation.

  • Patent number: 5048997
    Abstract: In a spacer frame for use in separating panes of glass of an insulated glass panel, a cornerpiece has first and second arms joined by a flexible hinge to permit angular movement of said arms with respect to one another. The first and second arms each have a first portion that has a cross-sectional area substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of a spacer bar into which they are inserted, and a second portion that protrudes from the spacer bar that is of a cross section larger than said first portion to form a shoulder that is adjacent and abutting the end of the spacer bar. The shoulder is substantially continuous around its perimeter to substantially eliminate moisture paths from outside said spacer bar to the interior of the spacer bar. The folded corner presents an essentially solid mass that prevents moisture from entering the spacer bar.
