Publication number: 20250128922Abstract: Conventional vehicle lifts typically operate at a standard speed that is statically configured for the system, which may result in vehicles that are below the weight rating for the lift being raised at the standard speed while the lift motor is capable of safely raising at greater speeds. A set of lift controls may be configured to determine the load on the motor by a vehicle of an unknown weight during operation at a standard lift speed and use such information to determine a potential speed that the motor may raise the vehicle at while staying within safe operational levels for the motor. One or more of a magnitude of electrical power drawn, a pressure generated by a hydraulic lifting, or a sensed vehicle weight may be used to provide an indication of load on the motor and/or a higher potential speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: Vehicle Service Group, LLCInventors: Austin Deuerling, Doug Spiller, Ron Schneider, John Uhl, Gerry Lauderbaugh, Robert Elliott, Darian Smith, Doug Brown, Jason Stewart

Publication number: 20240062797Abstract: A multi-bit MRAM cell includes at least a first MTJ device storing a first logic bit and a second MTJ device storing a second logic bit.

Publication number: 20240062796Abstract: To increase read reliability margins in read-only MRAM arrays, a complimentary pair of MRAM cells includes a first MRAM cell having a first resistance value within a first “high” resistance range RH and storing a logic “HI” value and a second “shorted” MRAM cell having a second resistance value within a second “minimal” resistance range Ro and storing a logic “LO” value. During manufacture and testing, MRAM cells that are assigned logic “LO” values are permanently shorted prior to distribution such that they permanently exhibit resistance values within the second “minimal” resistance range Ro. When reading the values stored within the complimentary pair of MRAM cells, a differential sense amplifier applies a common reference current across the first MRAM cell and the second “shorted” MRAM cell; by shorting cells with logic “LO” values, a system can reliably read logic values stored within the read-only MRAM array.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Doug Smith, Sushil Sakhare

Patent number: 10543421Abstract: The philosophy of games is to provide a mental challenge to the person who is playing the game. With this game a person can build the game according to that person's wants and desires and in this case a dodecahedron is used; the dodecahedron is color coded and an interior sphere is placed with the dodecahedron. Clues that have been placed in pockets of the outside surface of the dodecahedron will consist of locations where coins are hidden. These coins will be gathered and the dodecahedron is manipulated. The interior sphere contains the solution to the game or a prize and is initially locked prior to the start of the game. As the contestants play the game and “solve” the puzzle, the interior sphere is unlocked and the solution or prize is revealed. The game can be structured to the desires of the individual builder as often as possible.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2019Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Inventor: Doug Smith
