  • Patent number: 8924039
    Abstract: By law, a stand-up lift truck operator must be trained to keep both feet and legs located within an operator compartment. An exemplary operator presence detector includes multiple zones, or areas, configured to receive an operator's feet. A sensor arrangement detects the presence of the operator's feet and a logic device determines whether the operator's feet are present in the zones or areas in a predetermined configuration, such as a configuration that reinforces operator training to keep both feet in a designated area on a compartment platform. In preferred arrangements, based on whether the operator's feet are present in the zones in a predetermined configuration, at least one vehicle function is enabled or disabled which may serve to reinforce an operator's training to keep both feet and legs located within an operator's compartment.

  • Patent number: 7096516
    Abstract: A plumbing screen is provided having an annular seal that is adapted to fittingly conform to the internal surface of a toilet drain. The annular seal circumscribes a central screen that provides free fluid communication down the toilet drain but provides physical impingement for obstructions. At least one contact switch is located in the outer seal wall and controls an annunciator module that will provide an audible alarm upon removing the contact between the switch and the toilet sidewall. This audible alarm will indicate tampering with or removal of the screen.
