Patent number: 11598534Abstract: An air delivery system may include a housing, a first liquid-to-air membrane energy exchanger (LAMEE), and a desiccant storage tank. The housing includes a supply air channel and an exhaust air channel. The first LAMEE may be an exhaust LAMEE disposed within an exhaust air channel of the housing. The exhaust LAMEE is configured to receive the outside air during a desiccant regeneration mode in order to regenerate desiccant within the exhaust LAMEE. The desiccant storage tank is in communication with the exhaust LAMEE. The exhaust LAMEE is configured to store regenerated desiccant within the desiccant storage tank. The regenerated desiccant within the desiccant storage tank is configured to be tapped during a normal operation mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Nortek Air Solutions Canada, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Paul Coutu, Cam Forman, Philip Paul LePoudre, Blake Norman Erb, Howard Brian Hemingson, Manfred Gerber

Patent number: 11554715Abstract: A school bus stop arm and drive unit therefor are disclosed. The stop an includes a stop sign and a drive unit for moving the stop sign between a retracted position and a deployed position. The drive unit comprises a motor operably coupled to the stop sign, one or more position sensors operable to detect the presence of the stop sign, and a controller for controlling operation of the motor. The controller configured to, monitor one or more operating characteristics of the motor for conditions indicative of an obstruction to movement of the stop sign, monitor the position sensor for a confirmation signal indicative of the presence of the stop sign in the deployed or retracted position, and based on the conditions indicative of an obstruction and the confirmation signal, determine if the stop sign has reached one of the deployed and retracted positions or is being obstructed.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: SMARTREND MANUFACTURING GROUP (SMG), INC.Inventors: Michael Yudelevich, Kevin Peter Smith, Bradley Dale Brown, Andrew Allan Clark McKay, Cam Forman, David Beernaert
