Patent number: 8979037Abstract: A cable tray apparatus is provided a people mover system such as a Sky Train or the like. The cable tray apparatus is made up of a plurality of identical cable trays which are secured together in an end-to-end relationship. The cable trays are selectively laterally horizontally adjustable with respect to one another and are selectively vertically adjustable with respect to one another to correspond to curves in the roadway of the system and to correspond to elevational changes in the roadway of the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Terad Fabricating, Inc.Inventors: Adam J. Wurzer, Terry D. Wurzer, Cameron G. Lewis, David T. Wurzer

Patent number: 8960611Abstract: An expansion joint is disclosed for a cable tray apparatus for a people mover system. An expansion joint is inserted or positioned between a pair of generally rectangular electrical cable trays having first and second ends. The cable trays are connected in an end-to-end relationship. The expansion joint has first and second ends and is positioned between the pair of cable trays so that the first end thereof is connected to the second end of the adjacent cable tray and so that the second end thereof is connected to the first end of the adjacent cable tray. The expansion joint includes body portions which are slidably movable towards one another or slidably movable away from one another to compensate for expansion and contraction of the cable tray apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Terad Fabricating, Inc.Inventors: David T. Wurzer, Terry D. Wurzer, Adam J. Wurzer, Cameron G. Lewis

Patent number: 8122932Abstract: The present application pertains to a system for adjusting the height of a covering, such as window or a wall covering formed of two or more covering segments that are axially aligned. The system includes a link that selectively transmits rotation between two adjacent coverage thereby allowing the two coverings to be controlled, e.g., raised or lowered, simultaneously. The link includes a clutch that allows one of the segments to be rotated with respect to the other so that the bottom end of one of the coverings can be adjusted and aligned horizontally independently of the other. Optionally, the clutch includes an internal member that provides a mechanical advantage while the one covering is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: RollEase, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Cannaverde

Patent number: 7102683Abstract: A camera generates a textured range image. The camera includes a single lens, and a flash substantially co-located with the lens. The camera acquires a first image of a scene from a point of view with ambient light, and a second image of the scene from the point of view with direct light of the flash. The first image and the seconds image are then combined by a divider to generate the textured range image.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2002Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Ronald N. Perry, Sarah F. Frisken

Patent number: 4244546Abstract: A rear mounting bracket or mount for center guide type drawer guides is universally adjustable relative to the cabinet in which it is mounted. A base attaches one side of the mounting bracket to a mounting surface. A drawer guide attaching member connects the other side of the mounting bracket to a furniture-type drawer guide. An adjusting structure forms the interface between the base and guide attaching member and allows positional adjustment of the drawer guide. The structure includes friction-creating ribs which resist movement between the base and the guide attaching member. The use of an external force is consequently required to move the guide attaching member relative to the base. Once the correct position of the guide attaching member has been established, the adjusting structure increases the resistance to adjustment of the rear end of the drawer guide.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1979Date of Patent: January 13, 1981Inventors: Paul Mertes, Gary W. Nelson
