  • Patent number: 11511379
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a storage system for use with weight distribution trailer hitches are disclosed. The storage system would be used by someone with a towing vehicle, a boat or RV, and a trailer hitch to link these two. During the times these items are not in-motion, these weight distribution hitches have large parts and take up a lot of space. Such a customer can put their extra hitch-parts in the storage system, which keeps the weight distribution system nicely stored for example on the trailers beams AKA the trailer's A-frame rails or frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5808441
    Abstract: The present invention involves a control system for a motor having a main winding and an auxiliary winding disposed on a stator. A microprocessor determines the phase difference between the line voltage and the voltage between the main winding and the auxiliary winding to determine the rotational status of the rotor. In a moving rotor, a measurable phase difference exists. This phase difference can be measured by monitoring the zero crossings of the respective voltages. One method of measuring the phase difference is to check the logic state corresponding to the voltage between the main and auxiliary windings when a predetermined time period has elapsed after a zero crossing of the line voltage. Another method measures the time delay between the zero crossings of the two voltages. The control system of the present invention is particularly adapted for use with single phase AC motors having a main winding and an auxiliary winding disposed electrically out of phase on the stator.
