  • Device for measuring distance and determining position from a reference point, and method of using same
    Patent number: 5297346
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining and indicating the location of an end portion of a probe inserted into an external body. As the probe moves it rotates a measuring wheel to indicate linear translation, and optionally also moves another measuring wheel to indicate angular rotation of the probe. The data representative of probe linear insertion and angular orientation is recorded synchronously on a record for display with data obtained from a transponder positioned near the end portion of the probe.

  • Energy-saving aerodynamic vehicle
    Patent number: 4629241
    Abstract: Vehicle has wedge shaped frontal structure for urging the fluid through which it travels to pass solely along the vehicle side with minimal or zero turbulence. A visor on the structure further prevents the fluid contacting the front of the vehicle from flowing upwardly and across the vehicle's roof in turbulent fashion. The wedge may be placed above the driver enclosure, the forward vertical edge formed by the convergence of the wedge sides, being forwards of the driver enclosure.
