Publication number: 20220268055Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a fence post concrete extractor device that is comprised of a frame, a primary frame member, a winch assembly and a motor. The frame of the device is preferably sturdy, such that it can support the weight of the device and the concrete fence post. The winch assembly penetrates the rotted fence post using a motor and expands inside, allowing it to remove the rotted fence post from the ground. In this manner, the device can be applied to automatically remove rotted fence posts from the ground, wherein an abundance of manual labor would otherwise be necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventor: Mark Peabody

Patent number: 9302781Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for monitoring the occupancy of seating. Sensors provide measurements to a control circuit that determines an occupancy state for each seat. Information regarding the occupancy of the seats can be presented on a display. In some instances, additional inputs can be used to adjust the occupancy determinations to account for environmental factors. Also, the occupancy states of the seats can be cross-checked with a passenger manifest to facilitate the boarding of a vehicle containing the seating.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems Corp.Inventors: Jeffrey A.
