  • Patent number: 8132461
    Abstract: An ice thickness measurement system for determining thicknesses of an ice sheet such as an ice rink that is positioned on a solid or granular substrate. The system determines the thickness of the ice sheet using an acoustic technique, is portable, and may include a display graphic or graphical user interface on the portable unit to direct operators of the unit where to conduct an array of measurements on the ice sheet. The system may also be compatible with a computer for downloading of data and uploading of graphical displays.

  • Publication number: 20060086389
    Abstract: A vehicle chassis with at least two fuel tanks with an engine engaged to the chassis structural member. Each of the fuel tanks has fuel level detector or sender. The level senders are engaged to an electronic controller. Each of the tanks has fuel draw line from it. The system uses a single control valve to equalize the fuel tank levels by use of a dual draw single return system. The system is split into a primary and secondary tank. The fuel level senders send information to an electronic controller generating a signal to the solenoid or control valve when a specific fuel level difference exists. Activating the solenoid or control valve from closed to open, located in the draw side fuel line from the secondary tank, fuel is drawn from both tanks. The return goes only to the primary tank. When the levels are equalized, the electronic controller sends signal to the control valve to close.

  • Publication number: 20050232235
    Abstract: An Ethernet link connects a wireless switch and an interworking function (IWF). Both signaling information and bearer data are exchanged over the Ethernet link. The Ethernet-based interface enables wireless switch companies to keep their 2G customer base without having to deploy additional third party equipment. In order to make the Ethernet link function, an IWF chassis is modified to connect an Access Router card to a PRI card. The Access Router card packetizes and de-packetizes data to and from the PSTN. Additionally, a protocol is implemented between an application card and the Access Router card so that the application card can communicate signaling information to the Access Router card.

  • Publication number: 20050090560
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for use to control parasitic mites of honey bees, particularly Varroa mites. In one aspect, the invention is directed to control of parasitic mites of honey bees wherein the active ingredient is a miticidally effective amount of a selected ketone or 1-heptanol, ethyl butyrate, benzaldehyde, heptaldehyde, or d-limonene. In a second aspect, the invention is directed to control of parasitic mites of honey bees wherein the active ingredient is an effective attractant amount of 2-heptanone. The attracted mites are then trapped or otherwise removed from the locus of the bees. The present invention is also directed to methods and compositions which include 2-heptanone to control hive invading pests of honey bees.

  • Publication number: 20040149279
    Abstract: A direct vent fireplace unit that resembles an open hearth wood fireplace. The unit is installable in the interior of a dwelling above a surface defining an outer hearth. The unit includes an outer casing to define a cavity in the dwelling adjacent the outer hearth surface. A combustion chamber is provided having enclosing walls, a floor, a roof and an open front face with a combustion air inlet and an exhaust outlet communicating the combustion chamber with the exterior of the dwelling. The combustion chamber is mountable within the cavity of the outer casing such that the floor of the combustion chamber is substantially co-planar with the surface defining the outer hearth. A burner element for burning fuel within the combustion chamber is connectable to a fuel supply. A controller to control the burner element and a transparent cover mountable over the open front of the combustion chamber to seal the combustion chamber from the interior of the dwelling are also provided.
