Patent number: 11442086Abstract: A detector of microwave radiation includes a signal input and a detector output. An absorber element of ohmic conductivity is coupled to said signal input through a first length of superconductor. A variable impedance element, the impedance of which is configured to change as a function of temperature, is coupled to the detector output through a second length of superconductor. The detector also includes a heating input and a heating element coupled to the heating input through a third length of superconductor. The absorber element, the variable impedance element, and the heating element are coupled to each other through superconductor sections of lengths shorter than any of said first, second, and third lengths of superconductor.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: IQM Finland OyInventors: Mikko Mottonen, Roope Kokkoniemi, Visa Vesterinen, Russell Lake

Patent number: 7690713Abstract: 4-bar hinge technology is applied to forward hinged mounting of a conventional cab high cover on a pickup truck load bed, so that the cover moves clear of the vehicle cab when raised to provide improved loading access. The hinge system may be integrated with upper and/or lower rails intermediately attached to the cover and load bed rails used as mounting interfaces in fixed cover installations. Use of these interfaces alone for system attachment supports universal application to conventional matched cab high covers and load beds with minimal component variation between applications. Resulting component dimensions accommodate compact packaging, and therefore convenient, efficient shipping and storage of adaptation hardware.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Trail-R Van Inc.Inventor: William Henry Russell Lake

Resulting component dimensions accommodate compact packaging, and therefore convenient, efficient shipping and storage of adaptation hardware. The system concept accommodates use of readily available hardware suited to processes and equipment in use within associated industries, and facilitates capture of dimensions for optimal function within hinge and intermediate rail assemblies, thereby minimizing reliance upon installer skills.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2008Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventor: William Henry Russell Lake

Patent number: 7093882Abstract: An attaching system for a lift-roof cover pivoting substantially about a fixed forward wall upper edge via application of rear hatch technology of the prior art for conventional cab high covers together with attachment means in the form of linkages. The attaching system for mounting to a load bed supports multiple functions providing convenience in distribution and installation processes; in particular facilitating use of processes employed for conventional caps with respect to shipping and storage. The system includes lift-roof to forward wall stop and side retainer means supporting improved functional integrity and security. Also included are draw latches supporting levels of operating convenience demanded for lift-roof applications. Simplified manufacturing adaptation of a conventional cap is supported by pre-assembly of key subassemblies.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2004Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Trail-R-Van Inc.Inventor: William Henry Russell Lake

Patent number: 6814387Abstract: An attaching system for a lift-roof cover pivoting substantially about a fixed forward wall upper edge via application of rear hatch technology of the prior art for conventional cab high covers together with attachment means in the form of linkages. The attaching system for mounting to a load bed supports multiple functions providing convenience in distribution and installation processes; in particular facilitating unmodified use of processes employed for conventional caps with respect to shipping and storage. The system includes unique draw latches incorporating alternate methods for adding reliable function supporting levels of operating convenience demanded for lift-roof applications. Simplified manufacturing adaptation of a conventional cap is supported by pre-assembly of key subassemblies.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Trail-R-Van Inc.Inventor: William Henry Russell Lake

Patent number: 4533171Abstract: A multi-purpose closed trailer for use with motor vehicles, providing walk-in access with a low frontal area for energy-efficient highway operation.A lightweight cover having a lockable, top-hinged rear door/window is matched with a trailer load bed, to which it is hingedly attached at the forward end. Suitable compression struts and attaching bracketry, latching means, sealing means and a lift handle are arranged in such a configuration relative to the cover and load bed as to provide:(1) availability of locked security in a closed cover position,(2) access to interior in a closed cover position,(3) ease of opening of the cover from a single operator location,(4) support of the cover in a raised, open position for purposes of walk-in access,(5) accommodation of removable, fitted kitchen and convertible bed/seat units for camping use,(6) accommodation of removable, flexible panels to provide full enclosure with a raised cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1983Date of Patent: August 6, 1985Assignee: Trail-R-Van Inc.Inventor: W.
