Abstract: Processes used in the past were hazardous due to the material with which they were constructed, the design, and the location of the flywheel used on the device. In addition, the energy was inefficiently drawn from the flywheel which caused them to be replaced by fuel driven engines which emitted CO/2 and other greenhouse gases. My invention will create kinetic energy with zero greenhouse gases and all safety issues are remedied by high grade materials and new safety specifications. My invention is to turn a flywheel containing more kinetic energy than required by an electrical generator to produce power. The flywheel will be driven by an external energy source and, by overcoming the required kinetic energy of the electrical generator with the kinetic energy of the flywheel spinning at a high R.P.M., it will create kinetic energy.

Abstract: The present system and method for providing network connectivity and computer status information is displayed to a user and presents useful troubleshooting information related to various networks and computer status information. The present system includes means for determining at least one of the group consisting of a computer's IP address, host name, computer model, and user ID of said user's computer, means for determining a telephone number to a help desk associated with the user's computer, and means for displaying the telephone number and the at least one of the group consisting of a computer's IP address, host name, computer model, and user ID of the user's computer to the user.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a converted workflow extensible markup language file associated with a workflow application, such as the Workflow application from CA®, Inc. In one illustrative embodiment, the process identifies a workflow extensible markup language file associated with a workflow in a workflow application. The workflow extensible markup language file has extensible markup language content. The process converts the extensible markup language content into a new format to form converted extensible markup language content. The process generates a converted workflow extensible markup language file having the converted extensible markup language content.

Abstract: A jack assembly for altering the height of an object such a recreational vehicle. The jack includes an outer tube secured to the vehicle and an inner tube having a ground engaging portion and telescopingly received within the outer tube. An axial screw operably connected to a crank at the top of the jack extends through the tubes for altering the length of the jack. The screw threadably engages a screw nut mounted within the inner tube. In order to reduce the material volume of the screw nut, the nut is positionally captured within a retainer seated within the lower tube The retainer is configured to seat within the upper end of the lower tube and includes a slot for receiving the screw nut. The nut and the retainer include corresponding flats to prevent rotation of the nut within the retainer.

Abstract: A jack assembly for raising and lowering an object such as a trailer. The jack includes telescoping jack tubes which are expanded and contracted through operation of an axial screw. The screw is drivably connected to a gear drive mounted in an upper end of the jack. A crankshaft is supported within the upper end of the jack tube by a pair of end bushings and includes a hexagonal intermediate portion. A first pinion gear having a hexagonal throughbore is drivably mounted to the intermediate portion of the crankshaft. The first gear is in driving engagement with a screw gear connected to the axial screw. At least one of the end bushings is removable to facilitate disassembly of the gear drive. Rotation of the crank transmits rotation to the crankshaft and the first pinion gear in turn transmitting rotation to the screw gear and the axial screw for telescoping movement of the jack.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier which is detachably mounted to a roof rack of a motor vehicle. The carrier includes clamping assemblies which receive the cross members of the roof rack. The clamps include manipulable nuts for adjusting the clamping force with the cross members. The clamp assemblies are attached to cross bars which support wheel trays that nestingly receive the rear wheel of the bicycle and provide stability to the bike. A fork clamp is positioned at one end of the tray for lockingly receiving the front fork of the bicycle. The front wheel is stored in a rack mounted to the carrier frame.
