Patent number: 11951854Abstract: This disclosure details exemplary portable power systems for vehicles. The portable power systems may be configured as a secondary battery pack that is removably stored within a front trunk of a vehicle. The portable power systems may include a plurality of individually removable battery units that can be used to extend vehicle driving range or power electrically powered devices that are separate from the vehicle. In some embodiments, when the portable power system is stored in the vehicle and an electrically powered device is connected to the portable power system, the vehicle may be controlled in a Following Mode in which the vehicle is autonomously moved to follow an operator of the electrically powered device.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Stuart C. Salter, Pietro Buttolo, Paul Kenneth Dellock, Aaron Gould, Vivien J. Martinage

Patent number: 9557007Abstract: An imaging system, safety system or combined imaging and safety system includes a light transmitter and a corresponding receiver. Image data relating to a machine tool and/or workpiece is derived and processed to determine information regarding the tool and/or tool position and/or extent of work carried out on the workpiece. A screen, such as a shadow screen, can be used to form an image of a profile of the tool tip and end of the workpiece. Tool tip position and extent of work on the workpiece can be derived from the image. Certain aspects are directed to a safety system application for halting a machine or tool when a light beam is interrupted, and can provide progressive muting of beam interruption detection, such as by systematically disregarding or muting signals from rows of receiver array elements as the beam passes through a mute point ahead of a tool.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Lazer Safe Pty LtdInventors: Robert Meredith Appleyard, Dimitre Stantchev Stanev, Paul Gould

Patent number: 8692877Abstract: An imaging system (40), safety system (58) or combined imaging and safety system (FIG. 1) for an industrial machine (20), including a light transmitter (26) and a corresponding receiver (28). In an imaging application, image data relating to a machine tool (22) and/or work piece (32) is derived from said at least one receiver and processed by an image processing means to determine information regarding said tool and/or tool position and/or extent of work carried out on said work piece. A screen (34, 46), such as a shadow screen, can be used to form an image of a profile of the tool tip and end of the workpiece. Took tip position and extent of work on the workpiece can be derived from the image, e.g., via a camera viewing an image formed on the screen. Multiple cameras may be used.

Patent number: 4723746Abstract: A bracket for securing an electrical box or other electrical component can be used in either of two ways. Firstly by attachment to the open face of cross-sectionally U-shaped metal channel studding or secondly to the reverse face of the same studding or to another substantially flat surface. The clip comprises a back plate with stepped wing portions on two opposite sides. Marginal areas of the second stepped wing portions on both sides of the clip are removed to allow insertion of the clip behind lips conventionally found in channel studding. The free edges of the wing portions lie in a plane parallel to the back plate allowing mounting on a flat surface using screws or similar means for which the clip provides holes. The clip may be attached in either of the two ways without intervening modification of its design.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1987Date of Patent: February 9, 1988Assignee: Temco Electric Products Company Inc.Inventors: Paul Gould, Michael A.
