Patent number: 10744818Abstract: An apparatus providing auxiliary traction to a riding lawnmower or similarly light off-road vehicle having a drive wheel with a hub anchored to a drive axle. The apparatus generally includes at least one traction bar having a pair of traction ends equally spaced beyond the outer circumference of the wheel. The traction bar anchored to a carrier mounted to the hub of the drive wheel. A traction bar of variable length may be achieved by having two traction arms, one telescopically received within the other, with a length-locking means such as retainer pins inserted through aligned bores extending through the overlapping traction arms and the carrier mounted to the hub.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Inventor: Timothy Don Baker

Patent number: 10437672Abstract: A cluster receives a request to store an object using replication or erasure coding. The cluster writes the object using erasure coding. A manifest is written that includes an indication of erasure coding and a unique identifier for each segment. The cluster returns a unique identifier of the manifest. The cluster receives a request from a client that includes a unique identifier. The cluster determines whether the object has been stored using replication or erasure coding. If using erasure coding, the method reads a manifest. The method identifies segments within the cluster using unique segment identifiers of the manifest. Using these unique segment identifiers, the method reconstructs the object. A persistent storage area of another disk is scanned to find a unique identifier of a failed disk. If using erasure coding, a missing segment previously stored on the disk is identified. The method locates other segments. Missing segments are regenerated.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: CARINGO INC.Inventors: Don Baker, Paul R.M. Carpentier, Andrew Klager, Aaron Pierce, Jonathan Ring, Russell Turpin, David Yoakley

Publication number: 20170152677Abstract: A lock device including a keyway sized and configured to receive a key, a sensor assembly including an optical source and a key height sensor, and a controller in communication with the sensor assembly. The optical source is configured to generate an optical signal, and the key height sensor is configured to generate a key height signal in response to receiving the optical signal. The key is configured to interact with the optical signal such that the key height signal varies based upon the height of the key. The controller is configured to generate a key profile based at least in part upon the key height signal, to compare the key profile to authorization data, to select an action based upon the comparing, and to perform the action.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2016Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventors: Peter Klammer, William P.

Patent number: 6838779Abstract: A starter-generator for an aircraft engine comprises a variable dynamoelectric machine alternatively operable as a motor or as a generator, having a rotor. A support motor is coupled to the variable dynamoelectric machine to assist the machine. A torque converter selectively couples and decouples the rotor to the engine, coupling the rotor to the engine at some point when the dynamoelectric machine is operated as a motor. The engine may be started by the dynamoelectric machine when operated as a motor through a first power train including the torque converter and may drive the dynamoelectric machine as a generator through a second power train.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2002Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Magdy A.
