Publication number: 20240077282Abstract: An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: AOB Products CompanyInventors: Mike Lindsay, Michael Cottrell, James Tayon, Timothy S. Kinney, Mark Dalton, Brian Steere, Justin Burke, Kyle Martin, Dennis W. Cauley, JR., Anthony Vesich, Ryan Varnum, Seth Wheeler, Brett Eckelkamp, Matthew Kinamore, Curtis Smith

Patent number: 9046559Abstract: An isolation monitor is disclosed in which a switchable bias voltage is imposed on a chassis ground. An isolation voltage is measured when a bias voltage is applied. When there are no electrical faults, the isolation voltage swings up and down to known values. When a fault occurs, the isolation voltage will not to swing to the known values, and thus the isolation resistance can be measured and alarm generated if the isolation resistance falls below a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: CURTIS INSTRUMENTS, INC.Inventors: Ryan Lindsay, Roger White, Scott Bowman, John Cochoy

Patent number: 8347618Abstract: A dual pump hydraulic system is provided for a vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a first circuit with a first high pressure pump supplying hydraulic fluid to the first subsystem at a higher pressure. The system also includes a second circuit with a second lower pressure pump supplying hydraulic fluid to the second subsystem at a second pressure. A first valve controls communication between the first pump and the second circuit. A second valve is operable to communicate the second pump with the first circuit when pressure in the first circuit is less than a second threshold pressure or when commanded by a control unit. A check valve prevents fluid flow from the first circuit back into to the second valve.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Gary L. Dostal, Steven D. Wallestad, Dennis L. Jeffries, Ryan Lindsay

Publication number: 20110202246Abstract: A system for controlling a parking brake for a motor vehicle includes a first operator control arrangement and a control unit. The control unit puts the parking brake into a disengaged position by actuating a first electrical actuator when it recognizes a release request on the first operator control arrangement. In order to release the parking brake at least in the event of a fault in the first operator control arrangement and/or in the first electrical actuator, provision is also made for the control unit to put the parking brake into the disengaged position by actuating a second electrical actuator, which is independent of the first electrical actuator, redundantly when it recognizes an emergency release request on a second operator control arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: August 18, 2011Inventors: RYAN LINDSAY, MICHAEL THIEME, PETER MÜNCH

Publication number: 20060089778Abstract: A motorized pallet truck includes an angular indicator on the steering arm mechanism providing an internal controller with an angular position of the steering arm or tiller. The controller applies a brake when the tiller is in either of a substantially vertical or substantially horizontal position, limits the speed of the truck for a predetermined rotational movement from the vertical position, and allows full speed of the vehicle when the tiller arm is pulled into a predefined fast driving arc. The controller further limits the rate of acceleration of the truck when the truck is transitioned between a slow and a fast mode of operation to prevent rapid acceleration in the speed of the truck during the transition.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2004Publication date: April 27, 2006Inventors: Ryan Lindsay, Alan Bartels

Patent number: 6429447Abstract: An optical device for measuring a level of a fluid in a container wherein a light conducting body having a top surface and a bottom surface is positioned within the container and into the fluid. A first end of the light conducting body and an oppositely disposed second end, preferably having stepped end surfaces, reflect and refract light in a predetermined manner based upon the fluid level in the container. A resulting brightness of the top surface is therefore inversely proportional to the level of the fluid. Such an optical device is particularly suited toward application to a vehicle fuel tank.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1999Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: David R. Nowak, Ryan Lindsay

Patent number: 6121755Abstract: An optical-electronic device measuring a charge level in a battery having a housing positioned within an interior of the battery, the housing having a cavity. A light source and a light receiving device are positioned within the cavity. A sensing surface and at least one reflecting surface are positioned within the cavity between the light source and the light receiving device. A box is formed with respect to the housing, the at least one reflecting surface dividing the box from the cavity. Light projected from the light source is transmitted from the sensing surface, where a portion of the light is refracted depending upon the charge level of the battery. The remaining light is transmitted to the at least one reflecting surface and then to the light receiving device. A level of charge is thereby determined based upon the amount of light sensed by the light receiving device.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1999Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: David R. Nowak, Eric G. Parker, Ryan Lindsay
