Patent number: 5129345Abstract: A system and method for automatically steering a boat in a body of water along a course to maintain a selected depth of water adjacent the boat. The actual depth of the water adjacent the boat is automatically detected. A desired depth is selected to be maintained adjacent the boat as the boat moves along. The actual depth and the selected depth are compared and the course heading of the boat is changed to a new course heading toward equalizing the actual and selected depths in response to detecting that the actual and selected depths are not equal. A depth reference is established defining whether the shallower water is to the left or right side of the boat, and the course heading is changed toward equalizing the actual and selected depths further in response to the depth reference.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1990Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignee: Architectural Security Systems, Inc.Inventor: David A.

Patent number: 4284861Abstract: A switch hinge includes door and jamb leaves having aligned knuckles through which a hinge pin extends. The hinge pin is fixed firmly in position with respect to the knuckles of the door leaf, and within one of the knuckles of the jamb leaf it has an eccentric camming surface. The jamb leaf has a transverse bore that extends from the region of the camming surface in its knuckle to the opposite side edge of the leaf, and intermediate the ends of the bore the jamb leaf is further provided with a recess that opens solely out of its back face. The bore contains a push rod which is threaded through an actuator within the recess, and this actuator is located opposite to a switch that is mounted firmly on the back of the jamb leaf. A coil-type compression spring encircles the push rod within the recess and urges it toward the hinge pin with sufficient force to enable the actuator to depress the actuating element on the switch when the hinge is closed.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1980Date of Patent: August 18, 1981Assignee: Hager Hinge CompanyInventor: David A.
