  • Patent number: 12141895
    Abstract: A system for communicating slippage experienced by at least one traction device of a work machine, to a remote operator interface for controlling the work machine through the remote operator interface is described. The system includes a controller configured to receive data associated with a speed of the at least one traction device of the work machine and determine a slippage condition of the at least one traction device based on the data. The controller is further configured to activate a visual overlay over a virtual image, of the at least one traction device, displayed in a video feed to represent the slippage condition on the remote operator interface. The video feed is a real-time video feed, indicating one or more operations of the work machine, displayed on the remote operator interface.

  • Publication number: 20070250994
    Abstract: A sports goggle having generally U-shaped attachment arms at opposite sides of a goggle frame for securing the goggle frame to an elastic headband. The attachment arms are secured to the goggle frame at locations inward from the sides of the frame. As a result, the attachment arms bend rearwardly so that they are received in respective recesses in the frame when the goggle is worn without a helmet. When the goggle is worn with a helmet, the attachment arms are bent forwardly. However, since the headband extends from the attachment arms with a rearward component, the headband forces the goggle frame against the face of a wearer without creating gaps between the frame and the face of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 6322326
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved, modular condensate pump assembly that has a collection tank which can be disposed at any convenient location to collect liquid condensate. A removable support plate is supported on the collection tank, and a pump extending into the collection tank is supported by the support plate. A liquid volume control float, also supported by the support plate, communicates with the pump to activate the pump to remove liquid condensate from the collection tank when the condensate liquid reaches a predetermined volume.

  • Patent number: 5887376
    Abstract: A buoyant transducer assembly which may be attached to a fishing pole for providing signals indicative of objects, such as fish, within the water. The buoyant transducer assembly includes a sonar transducer supported by a float. The float has a central hub defining a downward opened recess for receiving the transducer and diametrically opposing buoyant cells for supporting the float upon the water. The float is positioned upon the water such that a predetermined portion of the float which has a surface area significantly larger than the surface area of the transducer contacts the water, thereby stabilizing the transducer and maintaining the transducer in a predetermined position relative to the body of water.
