Abstract: A method of producing a transit-time map uses a digital mapping service, a digital transit-time mapping program, and a connected digital device. A user-defined initial location, a pre-defined transit-time, and a user-chosen travel mode are input into the digital transit-time mapping program, Running the digital transit-time mapping program includes repeatedly accessing the digital mapping service to determine a locus of points on the digital spatial map. The time to travel from the user-defined initial location to each point of the locus of points is substantially equal to the pre-defined transit time for the user-chosen travel mode. The points of the locus of points on the digital spatial map are stored.

Abstract: A bending brake includes a rotating carrier that is rotatable about a rotation axis. The carrier has first and second upper jaws connected thereto at different angular locations about the rotation axis. A locking mechanism for preventing rotation of the carrier during operation of the bending brake includes an endplate forming a pocket, the endplate disposed adjacent to a distal end of the carrier. A latch having a trigger portion is pivotally connected to the endplate and located within the pocket such that the trigger portion protrudes from the pocket. A toothed cam wheel rotating with the carrier has at least one tooth formed thereon that engages the trigger portion of the latch to prevent rotation of the carrier in one direction at preselected angular positions corresponding to the first and second upper jaws.
