  • Patent number: 8299907
    Abstract: A method and system for customizing vehicle interior sounds and other indicia associated with vehicle accessories and events. The method enables a vehicle operator to selectively associate a particular sound with a particular event by selecting a desired sound and associating it with a particular event whereby emission of the desired sound occurs upon occurrence of the particular event to notify the vehicle operator of the occurrence of the particular event. Accordingly, the present invention enables a vehicle operator to configure and associate specific vehicle notification with particular events. In addition, the present invention provides a method and system whereby the vehicle operator uploads into the system customized sounds and sound bytes.

  • Patent number: 7591377
    Abstract: A vibrating screen aggregate separation device separates finer grained material from an aggregate material that may contain a wide variety of undesired materials. A mesh design associated with a vibrating screen contains perforations to allow smaller diameter material to pass through into a container that is situated below the screen. A suspension system is affixed between the container and the vibrating screen to allow a range of motion that is conducive to vibration of the screen, while at the same time, is supportive of the weight of the aggregate material that is to be screened. Vibration of the screen is effected by rotating an unbalanced rod along its longitudinal axis to induce vibrational energy to the screen and associated supporting structures.
