  • Patent number: 10744649
    Abstract: A drone payload device includes a remote drone arm and a control module. The remote drone are is coupleable to a drone. The remote drone arm includes a base, an arm, and a gripper. The base includes mounting hardware to couple to the drone. The arm extends from the base. The griper is coupled to the arm at an end of the arm distal from the base. The control module is coupleable to a drone controller. The control module is to provide a control signal to the remote drone arm to control a movement of at least one of the arm and the gripper.

  • Publication number: 20130125454
    Abstract: The present invention relates, inter alia, to a process for enriching a hydrocarbon fuel for use in an internal combustion engine, the process comprising: (i) contacting a hydrocarbon fuel with a gas stream containing hydrogen gas such that at least some of the hydrogen gas is introduced into the hydrocarbon fuel to produce an enriched hydrocarbon fuel; and optionally (ii) delivering the enriched hydrocarbon fuel to an internal combustion engine. The present invention further provides a device for use in the process.

  • Patent number: 7635005
    Abstract: A Gas regulator capable of reducing the pressure of a gas supply from thousands of psi to as low as 30 psi with an accuracy level of +/?1 psi. The regulator uses at least two oppositely oriented gas stages to reduce the pressure. The first stage performs gross pressure reductions and subsequent stages perform fine pressure reductions. The regulator easily connects to commercially available gas bottles and can easily activate or deactivate gas flow without needing to disconnect the gas bottle. The regulator has a compact design and can provide readings which can be integrated into computer, online, or dynamic systems.

  • Publication number: 20070298938
    Abstract: An exercise device comprising a core element which may be generally spherical and interchangeable shells or covers which are mounted in an overlying relationship with the core to vary the total weight. The covers may have a two-part hinged construction or be segmented with the segments of each cover being interlocking. In one embodiment, the covers are sized to allow each cover to be mounted or nested one upon another in order to vary the weight. The cover may include two spherical panels having at least an outer wall element. Weight blocks, which can be mounted to the outer wall element or placed in a space between the outer wall element and an inner wall element, allow the mass of the cover to be adjusted. The exercise device may have attachment means to attach it to a bar unit, such as a barbell, or may be used as a free-standing exercise ball.

  • Patent number: 6736320
    Abstract: A graphical code reader is disclosed. The graphical code reader includes control circuitry for the graphical code reader and a multi-functional optical element in electronic communication with the control circuitry. The multi-functional optical element includes a support structure and a monolithic imaging lens and target generating mechanism operably connected to the support structure. The imaging lens and target generating mechanism includes a lens and targeting structures for generating converging offset beams to feedback proper target distance. Laser diodes are positioned by the support structure such that laser light from the diodes is directed through the targeting structures to generate the converging offset beams. An imaging board is connected to the support structure. An imager is mounted to the imaging board and positioned to obtain an image from the lens.
