  • Patent number: 11222557
    Abstract: A spinnable indicator for transit stops has a disc having a front side and a rear side, the front side having a reflective portion and a non-reflective portion, and a mounting bracket, wherein the disc is spinnably coupled to the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket mountable to a pole or beam. The reflective portion creates high visibility at night. In one method of use, a prospective passenger approaches a spinnable indicator, and, when a bus or other transit unit is approaching, spins the spinnable indicator. The reflective portion on the front side of the spinnable indicator alerts the driver that a prospective passenger is waiting transit.

  • Publication number: 20080061625
    Abstract: A control system (10) for a vehicle (16) includes a sensor (228-240) that generates a sensor signal and a stability control system (14). A tire pressure monitoring system (12) generates a tire pressure signal. A brake (262) is coupled to the stability control system (14) and is associated with a rotational object (212) of the vehicle (16). A controller (18, 226) is coupled to the sensor (228-240), has multiple tire pressure associated brake control ranges R1-R3, and detects an unstable event in response to the sensor signal. The controller (18, 226) also applies a brake pressure in response to the tire pressure signal and the tire pressure associated brake control ranges R1-R3 via the stability control system (14).

  • Publication number: 20070071738
    Abstract: A ruminant direct fed microbial composition of matter comprising an acidosis inhibiting effective amount of Propionibacterium P-63 is provided. Also disclosed is a process for reducing acidosis in ruminants or scours in swine by administration of the bacterium to the ruminant or swine. The microbial composition may be administered by itself, or combined with animal feed and/or lactic acid producing cultures.
