Publication number: 20240083244Abstract: An electric power take-off system for mounting to a truck body to complement an existing power-take-off system powered by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a motor, battery, fluid reservoir, pump and a digital sensing unit for sensing at least one of fluid pressure or a fluid flow rate within the fluid delivery conduit. The digital sensing unit also includes an output capability. The system also includes a motor controller in operable communication with the digital sensing unit as well as the motor for instantaneously controlling the rotational speed of the motor. The motor controller in turn limits operation of the motor only to occasions of truck function operation initiated by the system operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Frank Miele, Fred Ross, JR., Benjamin A.

Patent number: 7445224Abstract: A folding bicycle includes a frame (10) with a main member (11) extending in the fore and aft direction of the bicycle and a rear wheel assembly (19) in the region of a rearward end of the member (11). The assembly (19) is pivotably connected with the frame to be movable between a use position in which a rear wheel (20) of the assembly in side elevation of the bicycle is disposed rearwardly of the frame and a folded position in which the wheel in the side elevation is disposed partly alongside the main member (10). A pivot connection allowing lateral redisposition of the wheel in this manner can have the form of a hinge (31) with a horizontal axis inclined relative to the vertical longitudinal plane of the bicycle.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2004Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: ATB Sales LimitedInventor: Jon Frank Ross Whyte

Publication number: 20070240862Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a first tube having a first fin of a first predetermined height extending outward therefrom. A second tube is vertically spaced above the first tube. The second tube has a second fin of a second predetermined height extending outward therefrom. A fan is positioned to force ambient air across the second tube and then across the first tube to heat a fluid flowing therethrough. A method of heating a fluid comprises sequentially flowing the fluid upward through a plurality of vertically spaced rows of substantially horizontal tubes, and forcing air downward over the plurality of tubes to heat the fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2006Publication date: October 18, 2007Inventors: Ned Baudat, Frank Ross, Randy Sharp

Patent number: 7240912Abstract: A bicycle comprises a frame, a rear wheel and a rear suspension which comprises a swing arm carrying the wheel and two pivot links pivotably connected at respective pivot points with the frame and at respective pivot points with the arm so as to form, together with parts of the frame and arm, a four-bar linkage. The suspension further comprises a spring and damper unit pivotably connected with the frame at the pivot point of one link and with the arm at the pivot point of the other link so as to extend diagonally of the linkage and provide springing and damping of the suspension travel. The shared use of the link pivot points by the spring and damper unit serves to reduce construction and assembly costs as well as weight. One link is disposed forwardly of the other link with respect to the fore and aft direction of the bicycle so as to ensure lateral rigidity of the rear suspension.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2005Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: ATB Sales LimitedInventor: Jon Frank Ross Whyte
