Patent number: 12312753Abstract: A system and method for the application of friction-modifying coatings to roadways, walkways, and other areas subject to vehicular, human or animal traffic, the system and method comprising the controlled, simultaneous application of binder and filler to a surface of a substrate, using a mobile device which passes over the substrate as the binder and filler are being applied. The system includes a mobile platform configured for being coupled to a vehicle. A binder applicator is mounted on the mobile platform and coupled to a resin container. A plurality of openings is linearly arranged into two rows extending along the length of the binder applicator. An air knife is mounted on the mobile platform and coupled to an air compressor for generating an air curtain. An aggregate dispenser bar including at least one aggregate dispenser is coupled to an aggregate bin and mounted on the mobile platform for dispensing aggregate.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2024Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: The Truesdell CorporationInventors: Keith Rainwater, Rick Howorko, Matthew Howorko, Jeff Rainwater, Jack D.

Patent number: 6501961Abstract: Reducing power consumption in a dual mode wireless phone, such as a CDMA/AMPS phone, that monitors messages from a forward overhead channel in a standby mode is desirable. It includes turning a receiver off after decoding a pertinent word for the receiver in a particular message and turning it on again some time prior to a next pertinent word. The turn-on is initiated only if necessary to satisfy a redundancy check or if the next word is a beginning of a next message.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Jim Kirkpatrick
