Patent number: 11862011Abstract: A traffic analysis system analyzes location data from a plurality of vehicles to determine journeys made by the vehicles. Vehicles may make one or more rest stops during a journey. The traffic analysis system compares rest periods to journey criteria to determine whether a rest period delineates the end of a journey, or whether a rest period is still within the journey. In this way, a plurality of trips can be chained together into a journey to provide more accurate analysis of traffic patterns.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Shweta Pravinchandra Shah, Daniel J.

Publication number: 20140202287Abstract: A pneumatic ratchet wrench includes a driving head, a feeding path, a primary path, a secondary path, a valve member, and a trigger. Upon flow of air into the primary path, the driving head is rotated. Upon flow of air into the secondary path, the rotational direction of the driving head can be switched. When the trigger is not actuated, the valve member is at a first position so as to prevent air to flow from the feeding path to the primary path, while allowing air to flow from the feeding path to the secondary path. When the trigger is actuated, the valve member is moved to a second position so as to allow air to flow from the feeding path to the primary path, while preventing air to flow from the feeding path to the secondary path.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: Basso Industry Corp.Inventors: Chun-Chi Lai, Chien-An Liu

Publication number: 20140020516Abstract: An air ratchet wrench includes a wrench body, a rotary driving head, an airflow unit formed in the wrench body, a switch unit, a driving unit and a valve assembly. The airflow unit includes a primary air path and a pair of head-directing paths. When the driving unit is triggered, airflow is permitted to enter the primary air path for driving rotation of the driving head, and is prevented from entering any of the head-directing paths. When the driving unit is not triggered, airflow is prevented from entering the primary air path, and is allowed by the valve assembly to enter one of the head-directing paths selected through user operation of the switch unit for controlling rotation direction of the driving head.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Inventors: Chien-An Liu, Chun-Chi Lai

Publication number: 20070246502Abstract: The present invention provides an ejector tab structure for a nailer cartridge, which is mounted at a preset location of the nailer cartridge. The ejector tab is provided with an ejector to push the collated nails. The present invention includes a first and second ejector, the first ejector aligning with the first groove of a guide groove, the second ejector aligning with the second groove of the guide groove. The first and second grooves are separated through a rejector of the nailer cartridge. The first ejector aligns with the lower part of the long collated nails, and the second ejector aligns with the upper part. When either long or short collated nails are assembled into the nailer cartridge, a more reliable ejection state is achieved to ensure accurate nailing, improving the performance and extending the service life of the nailer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: BASSO INDUSTRY CORP.Inventors: Chien-An Liu, Chun-Chi Lai
