Publication number: 20240045065Abstract: A system to assess a lawn slope to control water runoff and chemical concentrations at a location can include a tangibly embodied computer processor (CP) and a tangibly embodied database. The CP can implement instructions on a non-transitory computer medium disposed in the database. The database can be in communication with the CP. The system can include a grade measurement device including a device controller and a sensor. The CP can be configured to: receive grade profile data, map the grade profile data, compare the grade profile data an anchor point grade profile, calculate a grade score, determine whether to add or remove material to the grid area when the grade score for the grid area exceeds a predetermined grade threshold, and output a ground slope plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventor: Mark KISILER

Patent number: 6637810Abstract: A vehicle hood seal and stopper assembly protects a hood, grill, grill insert, and headlight during closing of the hood. The seal and stopper assembly is secured to a lower surface of the hood and includes a primary seal member and a plurality of stopper members. The stopper members are integrally secured to a lower surface of the primary seal member and are provided in spaced apart locations along the primary seal member. The primary seal member is more resilient than the stopper members, and the stopper members serve to limit hood motion during over stroke of the hood. When the hood is closed, the stopper members are disposed between the hood and the grill insert, the forward surface of the seal member provides a continuous seal between the hood and the subjacent structure, and the seal and stopper assembly is disposed relatively behind a forward edge of the hood so as to be concealed.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mark Kisiler, Ryan Joseph Phillips
