  • Method of thermal management for a hybrid vehicle
    Patent number: 6464027
    Abstract: A method of thermal management for a thermal management system in a vehicle includes the steps of selecting a thermal management function. The method also includes the steps of adjusting a temperature within the thermal management system using the thermal management function and using the adjusted temperature within the thermal management system to control a temperature within an occupant compartment of the vehicle.

  • Nozzle assembly
    Patent number: 4969604
    Abstract: A nozzle assembly for discharging a desired substance such as adhesives is disclosed. The nozzle assembly includes a mechanism for discharging a substance. The discharge mechanism is associated with a supply source to introduce the substance into the discharge mechanism. A mechanism is associated with the discharge mechanism to provide the discharge mechanism with resilient movement in response to forces exerted on the discharge mechanism. The mechanism to provide resilient movement deflects in response to forces applied to the discharge mechanism. The mechanism to provide resilient movement returns the discharge mechanism to substantially the original position of the discharge mechanism before the forces were exerted on the discharge mechanism. The mechanism to provide resilient movement is substantially rigid when the assembly is in a non-deflected position.

  • Self-propelled percussion unit for driving cemetery markers and method of using same
    Patent number: 4051684
    Abstract: A wheeled, self-propelled tractor has a percussion tool or hammer mounted on its forward end and an impact transmitting means carried on the tractor below the hammer. The impact transmitting means comprises a metal frame having a strong rigid top plate that is struck by the hammer and a downwardly opening cavity in which wood timbers are mounted to transmit the impact from the plate to a cemetery marker. Repeated blows to the marker applied through the impact transmitting means will drive the marker into the ground until it is flush with the ground surface where it will not interfere with mowing. The frame is fastened on the vehicle by a suspension system that includes tension springs which keep the wood timbers in a horizontal plane but permit the frame to move downwardly each time it is struck by the hammer.
