Patent number: 10173738Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle is provided. The two-wheeled vehicle includes a chassis having a height, a length, a width, a front and a back, a first wheel rotatably connected to the chassis, the first wheel having a perimeter, a diameter and a geometric center, and the diameter of the first wheel being at least 75% of the height of the chassis, a second wheel rotatably connected to the chassis, the second wheel having a perimeter, a diameter and a geometric center, and the diameter of the second wheel being at least 75% of the height of the chassis, and a counterweight coupled to the chassis such that the counterweight can adjust an orientation of the chassis in response to a change in pitch of the chassis about an axis passing through the geometric centers of the first and second wheels.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: PIAGGIO FAST FORWARD, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey T. Schnapp, Gregory Stewart Lynn, Joshua Eldred Elvander, Sasha Priya Hoffman, Suhas Subhaschandra Malghan, Nazareth V. Ekmekjian, Rossitza Dimitrova Kotelova, Bethanne Altringer, Jamar A. Bromley

Patent number: 8756813Abstract: A method of remanufacturing an injector involves an original lead extending from an overmold block. A milling cutter is used to mill a cavity into the overmold block to provide access to the original lead. The milling cutter splits the original lead into a remainder portion and a discard portion. A replacement lead is inserted into the overmold block to overlap with the remainder portion, and the overlapping leads are soldered to each other. The exposed overlap area is encapsulated with filling material. The original lead is preferably cut such that a tip of the remainder portion is angled, pointed, or otherwise shaped to increase the surface area that is exposed at the tip. The increased exposed surface area increases the area over which the replacement lead and the remainder portion make contact with each other when overlapping. Greater contact between the soldered leads strengthens their connection.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Diesel Forward, Inc.Inventors: William Joseph Rutecki, Randall Clare Harkema, Thomas Edwin Earhart, Todd Foote

Publication number: 20090213589Abstract: An LED light fixture system includes an LED module having a plurality of LEDs attached thereto and directed inwardly toward a secondary optic. The LED module is releasably attached to an interior surface of a peripheral frame. The frame includes an openable portion positioned to allow the LED module to be inserted or removed through an opening created when the openable portion is in an open position. The openable portion is movable from the open position to a closed position and provides an electrical connection between the LEDs attached to the LED module and a source of electrical current when the openable portion is in the closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: LED FORWARD, INC.Inventors: Donald Allen Peifer, Mark Joseph Walsh

Patent number: 7430934Abstract: This transmission utilizes an adjustable fulcrum to accomplish variable speed and torque conversion. The component utilizes multiple circular eccentric cams fixed to an input shaft at equal rotational intervals to apply vertical movement to an equal number of perpendicular torque converter shafts spanning the distance between the parallel input and clutch shafts. To provide control, yet allow for free horizontal and rotational movement, the torque converter shafts operate through separate sleeves attached to the cams and to a common adjustable fulcrum located between and parallel to the input and clutch shafts. Output ends of the torque converter shafts are attached, in a pinion fashion, to different unidirectional roller clutches mounted on the clutch shaft. These clutches can then, based upon adjustable fulcrum settings, translate modified cam movements into a wide range of rotary output motions with an infinite number of speed and torque ratios.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Movine Technology Forward, IncInventor: Melvin D.

Publication number: 20050149852Abstract: A system and method for managing clinical trial data includes dynamically generating, at a server, a data entry form to be displayed at a client. The data entry form is generated dynamically in a SGML-derived language. Control elements within the form comprise images which are used to construct the control elements and larger controls. The form is generated from a protocol database and a context received from the client, is populated from the data database, and is published to the client. Templates based on the protocol database comprise several frames including intermediate frames for displaying frame borders which are non-horizontal and non-vertical. If the trial protocol changes during a trial, the generated form is based on the protocol version active at the time data was entered into the form. Inadvertent use of the application is discouraged requiring an authentication procedure and displaying a picture of the authenticated user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: Phase Forward Inc.Inventors: Paul Bleicher, Nicholas Stamos, Jeffrey Klofft, Richard Dale
