  • Publication number: 20240304122
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a spectrum-expanded road electric sign, a road electric sign control system, and a traffic information acquisition device using the same. To this end, the spectrum-expanded road electric sign of the present invention comprises: a housing provided with a substrate therein; a visible LED array including a plurality of visible LEDs repeatedly arranged on a substrate to allow various types of traffic information to be visually recognized by a driver; and an infrared LED array including a plurality of infrared LEDs repeatedly arranged adjacent to the respective visible LEDs. As a result, even in the case where the driver's visibility is not sufficiently guaranteed due to adverse weather conditions, infrared light in the non-visible light range is also emitted, making it possible to capture an infrared video by capturing infrared images.

  • Publication number: 20240301954
    Abstract: A seal configuration, mold and manufacturing process that inhibits undesirable elastomer migration onto critical radially inwardly facing portions of a plastic-lined dynamic sealing lip, for improved high-pressure seal operation. The seal configuration is a hydrodynamically lubricating rotary seal for differential pressure acting in either axial direction that establishes compressed sealing engagement with a relatively rotatable surface and wedges a film of lubricating fluid into the interface between the rotary seal and the relatively rotatable surface in response to relative rotation that may occur in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The rotary seal having a dynamic lip with hydrodynamic waves on both sides of the dynamic lip with the axial width of the seal minimized while maximizing the axial width of the dynamic sealing surface.

  • Patent number: 12082823
    Abstract: A self-loosening tourniquet cuff for optimization of tourniquet time comprises an inflatable bladder, an elastic self-loosening tether and an inelastic safety tether. The bladder has a length between first and second ends sufficient for the bladder to encircle a patient's limb and overlap itself. The elastic self-loosening tether has an elastic member non-releasably attached to the bladder near the first end and a securing member non-releasably attached to the elastic member and adapted to releasably attach to the bladder when overlapped to establish a first bladder overlap length. The elastic member is adapted for stretching to establish a second bladder overlap length less than the first bladder overlap length. The inelastic safety retainer retains the bladder around the patient's limb near the second bladder overlap length when the bladder is inflated to a pressure sufficient to stop the flow of arterial blood into the patient's limb distal to the bladder.
