  • Patent number: 7996125
    Abstract: A system and method for determining and displaying an overall efficiency value of a vehicle. The vehicle may include an engine and an electric machine that operates to provide torque to propel the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle may have an electric power source that provides electric power to the electric machine. A controller may determine and transmit the overall efficiency value so that the information display displays the number of efficiency indicators. Also, the number of efficiency indicators displayed may be based on the overall efficiency value.

  • Patent number: 6136379
    Abstract: A convergent spray gun which combines a liquid resin and dry metallic powder externally of the nozzle of the spray gun that utilizes a pair of diametrically opposing passages disposed at 0.degree. and 90.degree. relative to the central resin discharging orifice where the central orifice is approximately 0.015 inch and the air for atomizing the fluids is approximately 0.187 inch and the atomizing angle is approximately 180.degree.. The metallic filler is added to the plume of the convergent spray at the low pressure section and the ratio of the fluids are controlled by a computerized system. The spray gun, controls and mixing chambers of the resin (two part) and powder fillers are housed in separate rooms and the dust where the powder fillers are metered is controlled.

  • Patent number: 4440492
    Abstract: A document transport for transporting document sheets over a copier platen and into a registration position thereon for copying with a single light reflective, flexible, unapertured and air impervious wide frictional movable belt providing a uniform light imaging background for the document sheet, having a selectably actuatable vacuum system for selectably applying a vacuum to a vacuum plenum overlying the vacuum belt above the platen, for lifting all but selected minor areas of the belt away from the platen and document toward the vacuum plenum when a vacuum is applied, but and for allowing the belt to drop into planar engagement with a document sheet on the platen over a much larger area of said belt when the vacuum is removed, and belt deforming rollers deforming the selected minor areas of the belt away from the vacuum plenum towards the platen for selective area driving of a document sheet on the platen with these deformed minor areas or protuberances of the belt when the vacuum is applied.

  • Patent number: 3998450
    Abstract: Sorting apparatus for collating both simplex and duplex copies from a copying machine. Tray assemblies receive the copy sheet from a moving deflector advanced past the inlet to the tray members. The deflector is pivotable to direct sheets towards the right or left side of the tray members for duplex and simplex sorting modes of operation. A sheet guide assembly serves to retain the stack of sheets on the right or left side of each tray member. The tray members are slideable to enable opening a wide inlet to a sheet entering the tray assembly. The tray members are pushed sideways on guides by an indexing apparatus moving in conjunction with the deflector.
