Patent number: 11891020Abstract: Embodiments disclosed of a multifunctional utility rack attachment device, the components comprise of a body structure, a positioning mechanism, a position securing system, and a modular attachment system. The device mounts either directly or indirectly on to an off-road vehicle's utility rack. The body structure facilitates the use of a modular attachment system geared towards connecting various utility attachments seamlessly. The positioning mechanism facilitates the movement of the body structure some distance from the off-road vehicle creating opportunity for additional utilitarian purposes. The position securing system is used to lock the body structure into place in a specified configuration, as to not allow the positioning mechanism to act upon the body structure. The components are combined together to form the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Inventor: James Logan Piercefield

Patent number: 10916395Abstract: The present invention relates to a switch and has particular application in temperature regulation devices used in domestic and commercial electrical appliances such as stoves, ovens or the like. It includes an arrangement of a pair of arms that co-operate with a biasing means in combination with magnetic components provided on each of the arms. This arrangement does away with the need for the switch to use relatively expensive bi-metallic components and which may be prone to arcing and potential damage to or fusing of the contacts of the switch.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Maggma Group IP LimitedInventors: Andrew Joseph Palmer, Samuel James Logan

Publication number: 20200326607Abstract: A scanning Dielectric Travelling Wave Array (DTWA) device suitable for use as a wideband, tunable, two-dimensional beamformer. The device is formed from a set of planar waveguides, elongated waveguide sections and/or progressive delay layers. By controlling the index of refraction (?) of the waveguides, waveguide sections, and/or progressive delay layers, the device to aim at a particular angle of incidence of energy arriving on the top face, in both azimuth and elevation. These indi(cies) of refraction may be controlled with a set of varactors. By observing a constraint on the size of the waveguides as related to the bandwidth of the signals of interest, the waveguide can to receive from or transmit to different directions at the same time. The varactors may be provided by continuous strips of material disposed along the top and bottom of each waveguide section, or as a set of discrete controllable sections distributed along the primary axis of each waveguide section.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2020Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: John T.
