  • Publication number: 20160279808
    Abstract: A rotatable coupling includes an input housing rotatably coupled to an output housing by a tube fixed to the output housing and on which tube the input housing rotates. The coupling includes two magnetic flux concentrators disposed about the tube and defining therebetween an annular cavity, a first concentrator fixed to the input housing and a second concentrator fixed to the output housing, such that relative rotation of the housings causes relative rotation of the concentrators on either side of the annular cavity. The coupling includes concentric coils disposed within the annular cavity that permit power transfer across the coupling, a first coil fixed to the input housing and a second coil fixed to the output housing; an emitter fixed to the input housing; and a receiver fixed to the output housing and positioned to receive the signals from the emitter during the relative rotation of the housings.

  • Patent number: 8567766
    Abstract: An assist device for use with a tensioning bar, the device comprising a pair of surfaces in spaced apart relation affixed to a u-shaped wall, creating an open ended box, and a pair of through bores located along a central vertical axis of each surface. The assist device is removably or permanently coupled to the tensioning bar. The tensioning bar is inserted into a truck winch, and a user facing the assist device and the truck winch, perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the bar, pushes down on an upper surface of the assist device using hands or a foot in a pumping motion, causing the bar to pivot downwards from the winch, and thus tightening or loosening the strap.

  • Patent number: 7695776
    Abstract: The present invention related to an improved structure of an optically transparent element that can be used in optical scanners, supermarket scanners, lenses for eyeglasses, etc. The application of oxynitride PECVD films provide good hardness and optical transparency. Such films displaying these physical properties are extremely useful as a scratch resistant coatings in lenses and systems in which an article contacts a transparent surface, such as in scanners and in environments in which intermittent, environmental contact occurs such as in displays for computers and suchlike and in liquid crystal displays, touch displays and compact disks.
