  • Patent number: 7804396
    Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring device and system includes a support or housing mounted to a rim of a wheel of a vehicle. A casing is movably secured to the support and a pair of spaced magnets are disposed within the casing. The casing is collapsible for varying the length of the casing in response to changes in the tire pressure to move the magnets relative to each other. A sensor is mounted a distance from the casing for sensing a presence of each of the magnets. A controller is in communication with the sensor to determine the length of the casing and the relative movement between the magnets to calculate any changes in tire pressure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5525177
    Abstract: A method of producing an image onto a surface of a one-way vision display panel of the type which is constructed as a perforated membrane having an opaque light-reflective surface and a light-absorbing surface and whereby the image is clearly visible when viewing the display panel from one direction and wherein the perforated membrane permits substantially unobstructed through-viewing when viewing the display panel from a second, opposite direction. The method substantially eliminates the corona effect of the image while viewing the display panel in the through-viewing direction, the corona effect being the result of stray ink which has traveled from the image layer into the through-holes of the perforated membrane during the image printing process.

  • Patent number: 5311834
    Abstract: A numerical device (10) for recording and display of individual numbers, symbols and other indicia. The display can incorporate an infinite number of indicia in rows, columns and the like to represent thousands, hundreds, tens, and single digits and the like. The normal length of each column would be up to a maximum of ten numbers. The numerals are encapsulated in a plastic containment housing (12) having chambers which contain a fluid. By depressing a particular number at a particular location, the fluid is displaced from that location and the contrasting color at the rear of the liquid containment area becomes visible after the opaque liquid has been displaced from that particular location. Each column of numbers, e.g., tens, hundreds etc. would be separately contained on, or adjacent to, one common fluid access compartment. Adjacent numeral chambers are joined by a connecting tube (32). The device (10) would normally be overcovered with an overlay membrane-(54) of paper or the like.
