Abstract: A theft deterrence, prevention, and recovery system for use in monitoring a theft status of a vehicle includes a cabin module positioned in the interior cabin of a vehicle, the cabin module having a memory, a processor, and an input device such as a touch screen display. The cabin module may include a camera configured to record video in the cabin vehicle and a cabin microphone configured to record audio in the vehicle cabin. The input device may be activated by a driver to indicate the immediate occurrence of an emergency event—such as a carjacking. If the input device is activated, the camera, microphone, and a global position (GPS) device may be activated. Collected data may be transmitted, such as by cellular or electromagnetic infrared signals. A vehicle smoke sensor may also be included.

Abstract: A grease interceptor system with a corrugated pipe stub that can be obtained and cut to size in the field during installation.

Abstract: A modular design for a floor sink frame and grate assembly. The standard floor grate sizes are whole, one half, and three-quarter. Instead of stocking each of these sizes, the present invention provides a modular system where individual pieces can be stocked and combined to form all of the above configurations.

Abstract: A system and method for the repetitive selection of a group of items which utilizes a series of sensors associated mounted in a frame structure adjacent supplies of items so that the manual selection of an item or items from a supply can be monitored. A programable logic controller is utilized for allowing the system to be "taught" so that it can easily be used for the repetitive selection of many different desired groups of items without the necessity of rewiring or constructing a totally new device.

Abstract: A bend correction apparatus for bending a workpiece subject to springback, the apparatus having a pressure die for holding a workpiece, a radius die for providing a radius form about which the workpiece is bent, and a clamping die for engaging and bending the workpiece relative to the pressure die and about a portion of the radius die. A microprocessor moves the clamping die between a bend angle position in which the workpiece is bent about the radius die to a predetermined angle relative to the clamping die and a relieved position in which the clamping die is not bending the workpiece. A sensor, movable conjointly with the radius die, engages the workpiece in a springback position upon rotation of the radius die toward the workpiece and sends a signal to the microprocessor upon contact with the workpiece.

Abstract: A manifold for a heat exchanger or the like formed from a single sheet of metal with a plurality of tubular portions formed in a row by drawing the metal sheet, and then bending the metal sheet to form at least one conduit in communication with the tubular portions for establishing a flow path therethrough.
