  • Publication number: 20250304029
    Abstract: An electric energy generation system for vehicles that harnesses kinetic energy produced by the motion of the vehicle's wheels to generate electricity is disclosed. The system includes a chain connected to at least one wheel and a generator, which converts the transmitted kinetic energy into electric power. The generated electricity is stored in a battery, with an alternator regulating the battery charge to prevent overcharging and overheating. A shaft ensures alignment and efficient operation of the generator and alternator. The system also features a control unit that automatically activates the generator when the vehicle is in motion and manages the energy conversion and storage processes. Additional features include a user interface accessible via a mobile application for real-time monitoring and diagnostics, and a manual control button on the vehicle's dashboard.

  • Publication number: 20240334900
    Abstract: A feeder system has a reservoir holds feed, which is to be dispersed according to a desirable, preferred, animal, namely, a livestock animal (e.g., horse, cow, cattle, sheep, goats) and/or game animal (e.g., deer, elk, turkey). The feed contained in the reservoir is dispensed to at least one feed outlet chamber through a corresponding feed outlet in the housing. The inventive animal feeder system helps to prevent unscheduled feeding, water and/or moisture incursion, and access to feed by undesired animals. The present system further limits power draw, to improve deployment longevity of a feeder system, and offers a self-contained complete feeder system to prevent corrosion and unwanted disruption of electrical elements.

  • Patent number: 8060157
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first housing section having a first one-piece housing member; a second housing section having a second one-piece housing member; and a hinge rotatably connecting the first and second housing sections to each other. The hinge includes the first housing member forming a first hinge section at a first end of the first housing section which is pivotably connected to a second hinge section formed by the second housing member at a second end of the second housing member. The first and second hinge sections form opposite outer lateral ends of the hinge. The first and second hinge sections are spaced from outer lateral sides of the first and second housing sections. An axis of rotation of the hinge extends generally between the outer lateral sides.

  • Publication number: 20050079251
    Abstract: A flexible pouch arrangement includes a pouch that can be converted to a pouch-bowl. The pouch-bowl can be eaten directly therefrom. There is a pouch surrounding wall, a gusset closing the bottom end of the pouch surrounding wall, and a score line in the pouch surrounding wall. The score line is spaced from the gusset and from the top end to result in a removable pouch section. The removed section can be used as a lid or splash-guard on the pouch-bowl. One embodiment includes a pair of gripping tabs along the sides to allow for handling and manipulation of the pouch-bowl. Methods of use include removing the removable section, and accessing the material in the bag with an eating utensil. The pouch-bowl can be heated, such as by microwaving, with the removed section acting as a lid or splash-guard.

  • Patent number: 5865813
    Abstract: An IV tube occluder is disclosed which has a bow portion and a linkage portion which act to occlude an IV tube to prevent unwanted flow of liquid to a patient. The linkage portion and bow portion are engaged to allow the ends of the linkage portion to rotate within a certain range. The linkage portion has an extending pinching member which is used to occlude a portion of flexible tubing by pressing the tube against the bow portion. The pinching member of the linkage portion moves against the bow portion through the provision of a hinge portion of the linkage portion, which allows the pinching member to hold the tube in an open or closed position. In an alternative embodiment, both the bow portion and linkage portion are formed as a continuous body.
