  • Publication number: 20240113903
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting pulse power on two wire pairs, the pulse power comprising a plurality of high voltage pulses with the high voltage pulses on the wire pairs offset between the wire pairs to provide continuous power, performing low voltage fault detection on each of the wire pairs between the high voltage pulses, and transmitting data on at least one of the wire pairs during transmittal of the high voltage pulses. Data transmittal is suspended during the low voltage fault detection.

  • Patent number: 6893099
    Abstract: A tailgate for use with a vehicle having a chassis and a truck bed. The truck bed has an inside surface and an outside surface. The tailgate may include a pair of mounting blocks positioned on the outside surface of the truck bed. Each of the mounting blocks may include a protrusion. The tailgate also may have a pair of arms. Each of the arms may be positioned on a protrusion for rotation thereabout. A pair of chains may attach each of the arms to the chassis.

  • Patent number: 5037265
    Abstract: A lift roller conveyor for rapid manually lifting a heavy rectilinear object, particularly a lateral file cabinet, from a floor surface onto a four-wheel dolly and for lowering such an object from a four-wheel dolly to a floor surface, is provided in a roller conveyor having an inclinded and a flat plane along which the object can be moved manually. Movement of the object along the conveyor rollers up or down the inclined plane effects a change of the elevation of the object "relative to the floor surface and the upper surface of the four-wheel dolly".
