Abstract: A cable safety and maintenance vision system includes an imaging unit comprising at least one imaging device configured to capture images of a side profile portion of a cable. The cable forms a continuous cable loop. A cable defect detection processor is in communication with the at least one imaging device. The cable defect detection processor is configured to receive images from the at least one imaging device, to identify features in the images that indicate potential defects, and to output a location on the continuous cable loop of the features in the images that indicate potential defects.

Abstract: A member formed of saw and bolt cutter resistant, hardened steel which is insertable between the arms of the U-joint of a truck steering system and locked in place by one or more padlocks. So installed, the member prevents steering of the truck, thereby preventing theft of the truck.

Abstract: Lock-protecting hasp for trailer full swing rear doors having locking bars which secures to the bars of the rear doors and includes two mating members and a shackle lock whether the lock be key or combination. A protecting block against the lock on the female mating member protects the shackle of the lock from being cut or pried off the body of the lock, or between the shackle, the body and the lock-protecting hasp. Longitudinal opposing slots and a ribbed locking bar on the male mating member provide for adjustability between the two members for accepting door bars spaced any distance dependent upon the type of trailer. The lock-protecting hasp particularly lends itself to use on semi-trailers having full swing rear doors and the lock-protecting hasp accepts a lock of predetermined size.

Abstract: Lock-protecting hasp which secures to at least one door and a member or to two doors and a subsequent shackle lock whether the lock be key or combination and protects the shackle from being cut or pried off the body of the lock or between the shackle, the body and the lock-protecting hasp. The lock-protecting hasp includes two outside mount hasps, a spacer secured to each of the outside mount hasps, and a protector block engaged to each of the outside mount hasps. The lock-protecting hasp particularly lends itself to use on semi-trailers. The lock-protecting hasp accepts any lock of suitable size.
