Abstract: An automated electronic brake control device comprises an upright enclosure having a separable cover, the enclosure containing an energy source, a breakaway safety switch, a controller comprising a grade and motion detection device, timer, relay and circuit breaker and means for connecting the electronic brake control device to the electrical circuity of a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle. Preferably, the brake control device is mounted upon the towed vehicle and the controller has capabilities of sensing a change of velocity in at least one direction. Electric circuitry connects the braking circuitry of the towing vehicle to the braking system of the towed vehicle such that when towing vehicle brakes are applied, the brake control device supplies power to the braking system of the towed vehicle proportional to the sensed change in velocity.

Abstract: A multiple hazard marker system consists of at least one multiple hazard marker, a deployment vehicle, a deployment surface and a deployment device for deploying the multiple hazard marker. The multiple hazard marker comprises a ground engaging portion, an upper portion and a central portion. The multiple hazard marker will remain erect when deployed and includes a visible marker for marking a position upon a field where deployed. The multiple hazard marker further has collapsible elements that expand upon deployment, a signaling device, a receiver for activating the signaling device and transmitter associated with the signaling device. The deployment device for deploying the multiple hazard marker collapses and retains the multiple hazard marker in the deployment device until a releasing mechanism releases the multiple hazard marker from the deployment device at deployment.

Abstract: A child's stadium seat comprises of a seat portion, an upright back rest portion and safety straps to secure the child. The stadium seat securely attaches to a bench, bleacher, chair or planar seat. It contains storage space in the bottom portion of the seat, a detachable utility tray and overhead shelter from various weather conditions. When in a closed mode, the side hinges allow the top back rest to lock in position, while a storage door is located at the bottom, allowing the underneath storage area to remain closed when not in use. The child's stadium seat is elevated for viewing and consists of a bottom surface that assists in the prevention of the seat sliding.

Abstract: A computer program for an eye depth perception test method comprises a personal data entry form for recording statistical information of a subject to be tested in a personal data step of the program where the statistical information keyed is to a specific personal identification number. The computer program further comprises an algorithm to draw a cubic space upon a display screen in a display step, the algorithm drawing a first image at a first random location within the cubic space and a second image at a second random location within the cubic space in an image selection step, the program then permitting the subject to be tested for depth perception to move the first image and the second image toward convergence in the center of the cubic space.

Abstract: A stuffer device for supplying a substantially continuous stream of elastomeric feed stock in a fluid state to an inlet port of at least one injection molding machine is provided.
