  • Publication number: 20080255753
    Abstract: An engine control unit is configured to provide a fuel injector pulse width signal. A signal modifier comprises a fuel-type identifier in communication with the engine control unit. The signal modifier is configured to provide a 25% greater, modified pulse width signal to the fuel injector component in response to a parameter input to the fuel-type identifier. The pulse width signal is optimized for a gasoline blend and, more particularly, to an E85 fuel blend.

  • Publication number: 20070139930
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for illuminating a subject with LEDs, comprising a substrate having a plurality of LEDs on one side facing a subject; a heat sink element attached to the substrate; and a heat sink fluid engaging the heat sink element; wherein heat generated by the operation of the LEDs is conducted by the substrate to the heat sink element to the heat sink, wherein the heat sink liquid dissipates the heat from the heat sink. The heat dissipation structure may comprise a heat sink fluid pumped through the heat sink. Matrix structures of LEDs are configured into generally semi-cylindrical shapes defined about a user's head and facial area, a user's first thigh area, or a user's first hand area. The heat sink removes operative heat from an area between the LEDs and a subject without forcibly moving air through the semi-cylindrical shape area.

  • Patent number: 7229467
    Abstract: A light emitting diode projection apparatus and method is provided for irradiating a subject with ultraviolet radiation, comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes configured to emit ultraviolet radiation and arranged in a matrix, and a power modulation control unit in communication with the diodes. The power modulation control unit is configured to energize and cause the diodes to emit light and thereby irradiate the subject with ultraviolet radiation sufficient to cause material physical change in the subject.

  • Publication number: 20060163382
    Abstract: A spray booth includes a fluid pump that draws fluid from one or more reservoirs. The pump propels the fluid to a plurality of nozzles and combines pressurized air to atomize the fluid for dispersion within the spray booth. The plurality of nozzles is synchronously actuated to spray the fluid in a sequential manner.

The power modulation control unit is configured to energize and cause the diodes to emit light and thereby irradiate the subject with ultraviolet radiation sufficient to cause material physical change in the subject. In one embodiment of the invention, the material physical change is skin tanning. The amount, intensity, duration and type of UVR projected by the plurality of UV LED's may be varied by the power modulation control unit responsive to information input into the power modulation control unit.

  • Patent number: 6353781
    Abstract: A speedometer unit that uses a standard output of a position determining navigation unit such as a LORAN, GPS, SAT/NAV, OMEGA, or other type navigation unit. The speedometer includes a processor, such as a conventional microprocessor, that has an input for receiving speed information from the navigation unit, which speed information preferably is outputted according to the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 interface standard. The speed information, which according to such standard is outputted in knots per hour, may be converted to miles per hour for display on an analog or digital display disposed in a housing containing the processor. A push button switch or other input device may be provided for controlling an operational mode of the speedometer, for selecting the information displayed on the display and/or for resetting the speedometer.
