  • Patent number: 7778635
    Abstract: An apparatus to control remote devices or equipment via existing cellular telephone networks. The apparatus receives information from a customer concerning a specific function, which the customer wants to perform at the remote equipment. A Central Control receives this information from the customer and correlates the function to a specific cellular telephone MIN number, which has been pre-programmed in a computer at the Central Control. The MIN number is then sent to a cellular provider. The cellular provider then transmits the MIN number to an antenna, which transmits the MIN number to a remote equipment controller at the remotely located equipment. The remote equipment controller then takes the a part of the MIN and gives these numbers to a PLC at the remote equipment controller. The PLC then memory maps the part of the MIN to a specific function to be carried out by the remote equipment controller. Then the remote equipment controller carriers out specified functions at the remote equipment.

  • Patent number: 5671890
    Abstract: A fuel injection system is disclosed having a fuel injection nozzle which receives pressurized fuel pulses from a source. The nozzle includes a body having a tubular nozzle body with a longitudinally extending opening extending therethrough. A valve seat is located between the upstream and downstream ends of the longitudinal opening in the valve body for engagement with a valve member to thereby regulate the flow of fuel through the opening. A downstream stop member includes a hollow cylinder with a diametrical member extending across one end. The cylindrical stop member is received over the downstream end of the nozzle body with the diametrically extending member disposed across the downstream end of the longitudinal opening to thereby limit the outward range of movement of the valve member from the opening. As a result, the valve member and the downstream end of the longitudinally extending opening define an annular fuel metering orifice therebetween to regulate the flow of fuel from the nozzle.
