  • Patent number: 8087275
    Abstract: A multiple dial lock includes reset dials rotatable around a lock shaft. Each reset dial must be at a specific angular position for a user to unlock the lock or reset the combination. Each reset dial has a magnet. A master key includes sensors, each in communication with one signal. Each of the signals indicates to a user that a respective magnet is adjacent a respective sensor, thus assisting a user in recovering a lost combination. A rotary lock includes a dial which rotates a drive cam, which in turn rotates several wheels to their unlocking positions. One magnet for each wheel is provided on the drive cam. Each magnet communicates with one sensor provided on a master key, which also includes signals, indicating that a respective magnet is adjacent a respective sensor, thus assisting a user in recovering a lost combination.

  • Patent number: 5698085
    Abstract: A coating analysis apparatus is suitable for analyzing four physical properties including the internal stress of a coating, the thickness of a coating, the current efficiency of electroplating and the corrosion rate of a coating. The apparatus comprises a testing cell filled with an electrolyte solution or an electroplating solution; a programmable power supply for supplying power to electroplate or electrolyze a specimen; and a microprocessor for controlling the programmable power supply to supply the power and analyzing the four physical properties.

  • Patent number: 4611677
    Abstract: Electronic weighing scale having a load bridge with torsion bars for transmitting a load from a platform to a load cell. The torsion bars flex torsionally to protect the load cell from overloading and shock loading. The platform rests loosely on the load bridge and is freely displaceable to protect the load cell from side loading or other impacts on the platform.
