Abstract: A system and apparatus for controlling the delivery of fluid from a reservoir, in relation to the ground speed of the vehicle delivering the fluid. Including a system where a hydraulic pump and motor are the components to drive the delivery of the fluid from the reservoir. The hydraulic motor is controlled to vary the output of the fluid pump based on a programmable logic controller (PLC) program. Where an operator selects the desired density of fluid to be pumped, the PLC controls fluid pump flow by controlling the hydraulic motor speed based on the vehicle ground speed.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus comprising of a syringe, a plunger and a circuit for the purpose of activating a light source to illuminate a target area for application of the contents of the syringe in low-light or no-light situations.

Abstract: A wirelessly controlled railroad switch designed for uses in a dark territory. The switch is configured to operate without the use of vital communications links to a central location, or requiring a central dispatching system or requiring a vital processor such that the wirelessly controlled railroad switch maintains its status as a railroad switch in a dark territory.

Abstract: The invention is a machine, machine system, and method of using a machine that alters metal plates to enable rigid stacking of the metal plates. In a preferred embodiment, the machine system includes a machine cabinet, a first altering system secured in the machine cabinet and configured to enable the machine to produce a divot or other indention in a metal plate, and a second altering system secured in the machine cabinet, the second altering system being configured to interact with the first altering system to change the shape of a metal plate, such as by bending a corner.

Abstract: The invention transfers a data element from a device to a handheld computer. In general, the method receives a device-based data element at a docking station based co-processor, performs a driver conversion to convert the device-based data element into a bus-enabled data element, and places the bus-enabled data element on a handheld compatible bus. The method may also transform a data packet by detecting an input packet, retrieving a packet identifier (ID) from the input packet, and dispatching the input packet to a device driver based on the packet ID, the device driver capable of converting the input packet from a handheld computer packet type to a device packet type. The invention is also the systems that enable the method. As a device, the invention is an intelligent docking station.
