  • Publication number: 20240360700
    Abstract: The egress window assembly uses a three piece window frame design that allows an outer egress frame to be manually separated from the window assembly to provide emergency egress from the vehicle or structure. In addition to the egress window frame, the egress window assembly includes an egress window frame, an interior window frame, an exterior window frame and a release mechanism that detachably secures the egress frame to the exterior window frame. The release mechanism uses rotating handles on the interior window frames and internal slides bars that shift between the locked and unlocked positions that free the egress frame from the egress window assembly.

  • Patent number: 12116831
    Abstract: A light-weight unitary window assembly for recreational vehicles and trailers. The window assembly uses a two piece design that seats within the wall or door opening and incorporates a fixed window pane integrally molded into one of the polymer frame halves. The window assembly also uses a plurality of weep holes that extend through the frame halves to vacate water from the window assembly to the exterior of the vehicle or trailer wall. In an exemplary embodiment, the window assembly also includes a sliding window pane that slides along a peripheral track and securely seats in a closed position using a plurality of contact pads to prevent window “chatter.” The window assembly also includes an integrated latch mechanism to secure the sliding pane.

  • Publication number: 20220138754
    Abstract: A computing system for initiating a suspect activity alert is described. The computing system includes at least one processor in communication with at least one memory. The at least one processor is programmed to receive transaction data associated with a plurality of processed transactions and receive rules data comprising at least one indicator of suspect activity. The at least one processor is also programmed to determine a first portion of the rules data to associate with a first portion of the transaction data and determine whether the first portion of the transaction data complies with the first portion of the rules data. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a suspect activity alert message upon determining the first portion of the transaction data does not comply with the first portion of the rules data.

  • Patent number: 9679550
    Abstract: A pickup device for an electric instrument may include at least one permanent magnet to detect vibrations from the electric instrument's strings. The pickup device may further include at least one coil within a magnetic field of the permanent magnet. The coil may be coupled to one or more of a plurality of selectable filters. The pickup device may be an integrated assembly and fittable within a standard-sized pickup cavity on the electric instrument.

  • Patent number: 7590398
    Abstract: A translation table is provided for a set top box in order to convert satellite frequencies of a Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV) system to corresponding cable frequencies of a CATV distribution system. During an autoscan operation, the translation table is automatically populated with satellite frequencies and their associated cable frequencies. The satellite frequencies carry satellite QPSK signals, and the cable frequencies carry corresponding QAM signals. During autoscan, the cable frequencies are scanned. For each of the cable frequencies carrying a QAM signal, satellite service data is read from the corresponding QAM signal. The satellite service data includes the satellite frequencies. The satellite frequency contained in the satellite service data read from each QAM signal is stored in the translation table in association with the corresponding cable frequency.
