Abstract: A trailer assembly 10 having a frontal support and storage portion 12 and a back support and storage portion 14 and the portions 12 and 14 are selectively and independently articulatable, such that portion 14 may be selectively raised and lowered independent of the movement of the portion 12, portion 12 may be selectively raised and lowered independently of the portion 14, and both portions 12 and 14 may be lowed and raised in a substantial concurrent manner in order to facilitate the loading and unloading of items upon and/or from the trailer assembly 10 without the need for a ramp or other such aid.
Abstract: A rapid deployment assembly 10 which may be placed upon a selectively movable assembly 18, such as by way of example and without limitation, a pickup type truck, or other selectively movable assembly and which allows for rapid ingress and egress into and out of the assembly 18 and such ingress and egress is achieved by the selectively deployment of various members 12, 14, 16 which selectively form steps and which may later cooperatively form a tailgate assembly.
Abstract: An advertising apparatus 10 including a generally flat base 12 and a broad face 14 which forms an acute angle 16 with the generally flat base 12. Further, the broad face 14 includes several display portions 20, 22, and 18 which, in one non-limiting embodiment of the invention, are programmable. In one non-limiting embodiment, the apparatus may include a selectively depressible alarm switch 100.
Abstract: A storage assembly 10 which has a plurality of unique storage components 12, 14, and 800 which may be selectively connected in order to provide an optimal storage solution for a wide variety of applications.

Abstract: A deployment assembly 16 which selectively and efficiently allows entry and exit into and from the bed 12 of a selectively movable assembly and which includes a plurality of independently movable stair assemblies 202, 204, 206 which may be respectively extended and retracted and then placed in a stored upright position to cooperatively form a tailgate.
Abstract: A cover assembly 10 having a cover support portion 30 having various members 34, 36, and 38 each having respective bodies 70 which respectively have a plurality of cells 80 which make the members 34, 36, 38 lightweight and structurally sound, and the members 34, 36, 38 cooperatively deploying a cover 32 over the bed 14 of a selectively movable assembly 12.
Abstract: A key storage and dispensation assembly 10 which selectively and securely stores keys, such as key 144 and which allows access to a stored key, such as key 144, without allowing access to the remaining key, and to a method which uses such a technique.
Abstract: An electrical generating assembly 10 which may be selectively used in combination with and/or as part of a municipal wastewater treatment facility 12 and which allows the wastewater treatment facility 12 to generate electrical energy 48,62, 13 as received wastewater 14 is cleaned according to a plurality of diverse energy generating strategies.

Abstract: An advertising apparatus 10 including a generally flat base 12 and a broad face 14 which forms an acute angle 16 with the generally flat base 12. Further, the broad face 14 includes several display portions 20, 22, and 18 which, in one non-limiting embodiment of the invention, are programmable. In one non-limiting embodiment, the apparatus may include a selectively depressible alarm switch 100.
Abstract: An orthodontic connector assembly (10) including a plurality of substantially identical connecting members, such as members (12), (14) which include a movable but biased portion (20) which is adapted to selectively and removably receive a pocket portion (44) which is deployed on at least one bracket, such as bracket (40).
Abstract: A method for creating a tangible item (such as an “A” pillar garnishment 18) which increases the capacity of the item to absorb energy by the incorporation and/or addition of a plurality of adhesive-covered beads 25, and which utilizes the method and/or type of energy used to normally form the item to incorporate and/or add the adhesive-covered beads 25, thereby increasing efficiency while reducing cost. A new and novel tangible item, such as “A” pillar garnishment 18, having programmed energy absorption characteristics is also disclosed.
Abstract: An assembly 10 which may be selectively and removably attached to a selectively movable assembly, such as a vehicle 90 and which provides the driver 94 of the selectively movable assembly 90 with an image of the trailer connection portion 99 of the selectively movable assembly 90 as the selectively movable assembly 90 is moved toward a trailer 102.
Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods to locate and recover objects equipped with tracking devices by determining the location information of the object. The system employs multiple radio direction finding (RDF) devices, which is capable of determining the angle of arrival of a radio signal. The MSC sends a request along with radio information to a location processor, which controls the RDF devices. The system also employs a theft detection device, which is capable of placing a wireless telephone call to a monitoring center. The theft detection device connects to and receives instructions from the monitoring center, which retrieves the instructions from a primary database server. If the primary database server is unavailable, the request for information is sent to a secondary database server.
