Patent number: 11654869Abstract: A vehicle comprising an interior; a heat source in thermal communication with the interior; a source of ultraviolet light disposed to emit the ultraviolet light into the interior; and a controller in communication with the heat source and the source of the ultraviolet light, the controller configured to cause (i) the heat source to increase a temperature of the interior, (ii) the source of the ultraviolet light to emit the ultraviolet light into the interior, or (iii) both (i) and (ii) upon receiving a command from a remote user interface. The vehicle can further include a combustion engine that combusts fuel to propel the vehicle. The vehicle can further include a battery in electrical communication with the source of the ultraviolet light and in communication with the controller, the battery having a voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Maxwell Alestra, Ghanshyam M.

Publication number: 20180223547Abstract: A universal magazine mounts to a hand-operated power tool that will automatically feed a hidden deck board clip to the tool head from a strip of such clips and position the clips one at a time under the power tool's driving mechanism. The strip includes multiple hidden clips separated by a frangible section or tab located between adjacent clips. Each hidden clip can be formed of a plastic material and include a locating tab defined on each side of the clip's body and fastener aperture defined in a center of the body. Further, strips can be adapted for manual use and manipulation rather than for use with a power tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2018Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventors: Nicholas J.

Patent number: 9562933Abstract: Methods and systems are described for diagnosing a multiple speed, relay controlled engine cooling fan system. One method includes measuring the change in current drawn from a battery-alternator system when fan speed is modified. A degradation in cooling fan operation is flagged when measured current change differs from an expected change.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Troy Fischer, Jayne Froney, Randall J. Houston, Brian D. Rutkowski

Patent number: 8459578Abstract: A prescription label identity peeler includes a box-shaped housing. A lid extends over the box-shaped housing. A sanding member is adjustably carried within the box-shaped housing. A pair of linkage arms is pivotally extend between the lid and the sanding member. The motorized linkage arms will move the sanding member simultaneously and horizontally against the empty pill bottle in an inverted position, while the wheel on the swing arm assembly will contact a bottom end of the empty pill bottle via compression of the springs, thereby removing the label from the empty pill bottle when the inverted empty pill bottle rotates.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Inventor: Troy Fischer

Publication number: 20120224356Abstract: An illuminated protective hard hat includes at least one work light and plurality of safety lights. The hat provides a hands-free illumination. The safety lights are set to flashing for higher visibility in dangerous work zones. This illuminated protective hard hat can be used by anyone working in a construction zone, such as flaggers or road workers. It can also be utilized by miners, utility personnel, or anyone else working in dimly lit or dark environments. The hat is worn like a standard hard hat but has a power switch connected to a power source to selectively turn on or turn of the safety lights and the work light.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2012Publication date: September 6, 2012Inventors: TROY FISCHER, DONALD QUNELL

Publication number: 20070161323Abstract: The toy of the subject invention is an action figure or plush character toy that climbs or moves on walls and other vertical surfaces by means of suction adhesion. The toy could also crawl across the floor. The toy has suction cups on its arms and legs that allow it to adhere to the wall by selective sequential application and release of a vacuum. A swiveling motion at the waist of the toy provides the means for locomotion. Arms and legs lift off the wall and make contact in a way that advances across the wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2006Publication date: July 12, 2007Applicant: Marvel Characters, Inc.Inventor: Troy Fischer
