  • Patent number: 10472774
    Abstract: The non-ferrous anticorrosive railroad bracket 10 includes a stainless steel threaded shaft 50 for preventing oxidation on moving parts. A sliding clamp plate mechanism 36 is for mounting to virtually any common rail 54 in use throughout the world. The bracket 10 includes a pointed wedge end 14 for providing under-rail installation by displacing stone gravel base underneath. It also includes a tool-less clamping rail attachment mechanism 32 requiring only hand-tighten for installation. There is a large knob-nut 34 for tightening and securing to the rail 54 by easily hand-tightening. A simple folded kick-plate 12 is utilized for kicking by foot, pushing by hand, and hammering so as to easily displace gravel, stones, slag, and other material. Lastly, the folded kick-plate 12 acts as a handle to carry the bracket 10 and an attached sensor detector unit 30.

  • Patent number: 7538666
    Abstract: An automated accountability system is achieved by a unique combination of at least one stationary, passive-infrared activated low-power wireless RF locator-transponder device, at least one personal issued “pager-like” RF transceiver device and a stationary transceiver contained in a stand-alone master command base monitor or a stationary transceiver connected to a personal computer with monitoring software. These three primary components form an automated accountability system for tracking and locating personnel. The locator-transponder device is capable of detecting the presence of a person or object. The person carries the adjustable level low power radio frequency transceiver device and as the transceiver passes the locator-transponder, a signal with at least identification, status and location information of person. The information is provided automatically without intervention to the automatic accountability system.
