  • Patent number: 11780017
    Abstract: A machine is disclosed for use in duplicating features of an existing key within a key blank. The machine may have an identification module configured to capture data associated with the features of the existing key, a fabrication module configured to cut the features in the key blank based on the data, a user input device, and a controller in communication with the identification module, the fabrication module, and the user input device. The controller may be configured to regulate operation of the identification module and the fabrication module, and to receive input from a user via the user input device. The input may be indicative of the user being a first type of user or a second type of user. The controller may also be configured to selectively implement one of a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation based on the input.

  • Publication number: 20070193259
    Abstract: A hydraulic assembly and method for use with an vehicle engine exhaust flow control valve for controlling flow to at least one intake supply. The assembly has an actuator, such as a spring return piston cylinder, for positioning the control valve. An inlet passage, communicating with the cylinder, is arranged for supplying hydraulic fluid to a side of the actuator and a drain is arranged for draining the hydraulic fluid from the side of the actuator. An on-off type hydraulic valve, communicating with the drain, is operably coupled to the cylinder for controlling communication of the hydraulic fluid from the cylinder side to the drain. When the hydraulic assembly is in use, the pressure of hydraulic fluid acting on the actuator is adjustable by operation of the on-off type valve thereby to control movement of the actuator and, in turn, movement of the control valve.

  • Publication number: 20060106929
    Abstract: In some embodiments, two or more packets of a first protocol including data of a real time protocol (RTP) which is associated with audio and/or video conferencing information may be received at a first interface. Two or more data channels may couple the first interface to a second interface via various networks, and each of the two or more data channels may include network sockets of a second protocol. Any number of N data channels may be used based on various configurations. The two or more packets of the first protocol may be sent from the first interface to the second interface via the two or more data channels. In various embodiments, a first RTP may be received and transcoded into a second RTP, and data from a first codec associated with the first RTP to data of a second codec associated with the second RTP.
