Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: setting a predetermined arrival level for arriving at a replenishment location; calculating an estimated arrival level for arriving at the replenishment location; generating target location based on the estimated arrival level meeting or exceeding the predetermined arrival level; and generating a travel route to a destination based on selecting the replenishment location from the target location for displaying on a device.

Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: sending a reservation request for requesting a reservation time window at one or more replenishment locations within a reservation area; receiving a reservation response based on the reservation request for determining an availability for each of the replenishment locations; generating a travel route with a control unit based on the reservation response to a destination through one or more of the replenishment locations for displaying on a device; and sending a cancellation request based on the travel route for cancelling a tentative reservation.

Abstract: Abstract A flow means for cutting off/opening a flow of liquids or gases as well as for routing said flow, of the type that includes a body component that is manufacturable by injection molding and that is formed with a flow passage through it and has at least one sharp edge, circumferential along said flow passage. Wherein the flow means is characterized by that it includes in addition, a flow smoothening means formed as an insert that can be affixed to the flow means body component. The flow smoothening means is formed with a rounded surface that when affixing the flow smoothening means to the body component of the flow means, it integrates with the flow passage and converts the sharp edge into a rounded corner that contributes to smoothing said flow, reducing the tempest like effect of the flow and substantially preventing turbulence and generation of whirlpools.

Abstract: An escape system (10) for lowering a user mounted thereon in a vertical direction (12) at a predetermined rate of descent responsive to a user applied force in predetermined areas on a seat member (22). The escape system (10) includes a mounting bar member (16) which extends in a longitudinal direction (18). The mounting bar member (16) is secured to a base surface (14) which may be a wall of an edifice, or some other vertically directed surface. A seat member (22) extends in the longitudinal direction (18) which provides containment or a seat for the user. A pair of first and second pulley members (32 and 34) are displaceably coupled to the seat member (22) through a rope element (36) passing between first and second pulley members (32 and 34) and cooperating with seat member (22).

Abstract: An improved shovel (10) which includes the standard longitudinally extending handle member (12) having a scoop member (14) and a gripping member (16) rigidly secured on opposing longitudinally displaced end sections. The shovel (10) includes an adjustable lever mechanism (30) which is releasably secured and movably displaceable in a direction substantially normal to a longitudinal direction (20) in relation to handle member (12). Adjustable lever mechanism (30) is adapted to interface at a fulcrum point (38) with a base surface (18) to rotationally activate scoop member (14) when material is to be removed from base surface (18). An adjustable grip mechanism (50) is releasably secured and movably displaceable with respect to the handle member (12) and extends above the handle member (12) for providing a secondary gripping portion for a user.

The compounds are useful as herbicides.

Abstract: A pedestrian contact guard adapted to be mounted to a bumper of a vehicle for yieldingly contacting a pedestrian prior to the vehicle bumper impacting the pedestrian. The pedestrian contact guard is secured to the vehicle bumper on opposing transverse ends through a pair of block members which are secured to the bumper. A pair of vertically extending column elements are secured to the block members through set screws which allow vertical adjustment of the pedestrian contact guard. A lower end of the column elements are connected to a transversely extending tubular member which passes in the transverse direction between the securing block members. The tubular member is positioned forward of the vehicle bumper and is adapted to contact the pedestrian prior to the pedestrian being hit by the vehicle bumper.

Abstract: A clamping and drill guide apparatus which is utilized by an operator to aid in manually drilling holes in work pieces which have an arcuate contour. The apparatus includes a first clamping member which has a multiplicity of openings axially passing through the first clamping member in a vertical direction. A second clamping member located in alignment with the first clamping member and below such includes a multiplicity of threaded through openings which axially pass in the vertical direction and are alignable with each of the through openings in the first clamping member. A pair of screw and nut members provide for clamping the first member to the second member when a work piece is inserted therebetween. Further, the apparatus provides a mechanism for axially aligning the work piece between the first member and the second member.

Abstract: A clamping device adapted for use in combination with a vise to maintain a workpiece in fixed relation to the vise when being worked on. The clamping device includes a plate member which is forced downwardly on the workpiece which is being held between the jaws of the vise. The plate member is threadedly mounted to the opposing vise jaws through a pair of transversely opposed screw members. A pair of thumbscrews or lock washers threadedly engage the screw members and interface with an upper surface of the plate member to force it against the captured workpiece.
