  • Patent number: 11142448
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering fuel to a plurality of vehicles comprising a distribution manifold having a plurality of outlets, said distribution manifold in fluidic communication with a fuel source, each of said plurality of outlets having an associated control valve for controlling fluid flow therethrough and a plurality of tank valve assemblies in fluidic communication with one of said plurality of fuel lines each located at an inlet to a tank of one of said plurality of vehicles, each of said tank valve assembly being operable to shut off flow of fuel therethrough when said tank is filled to a predetermined level. The system further comprises a plurality of fuel lines, each of said plurality of fuel lines extending between an outlet of said distribution manifold and a tank valve assembly and a controller operably coupled to said plurality of control valves wherein said adapted to sequentially open at least one of said plurality of control valves at a time.

  • Publication number: 20070159838
    Abstract: There is provided an non-automobile multi-filament auto head lamp illumination assembly for use with a conventional multi-filament automobile head lamp in which at least one filament of the head lamp is unspent. An assembly lamp receptacle accommodates the automobile head lamp. A power converter converts single phase one hundred and twenty volts of alternating current to twelve volts DC or AC. A filament selector selects the unspent filament to which the twelve volts is provided, thus producing illumination.

  • Publication number: 20050152510
    Abstract: An auxiliary ringer and call screener (ARCS) includes switches, a speaker, a reset button, an input jack, an output jack, and a power connecting jack interconnected with a housing, and ARCS circuitry mounted within the housing. The ARCS may also include an LED which illuminates when the ARCS emits an audible ring. An audible ring is produced through the speaker and a ring back tone is sent from the ARCS to a calling party to indicate that a proper sequence of DTMF codes from the call has been recognized and processed, when sequential incoming DTMF codes from a call from the calling party on the input jack match DTMF codes associated with settings of the switches. An audible ring is prevented from being emitted through the speaker, and a ring back tone is not sent back to the calling party when sequential incoming DTMF codes from the call on the input jack do not match the DTMF codes associated with settings of the switches.

  • Patent number: 6697094
    Abstract: A laser beam sensor assembly in an electrophotographic machine includes a sensor device detecting a position of a laser beam in a process direction. The sensor device has a detection range in the process direction. The sensor device has at least one slot or at least one projection. A fixed structure has an other of the at least one slot and the at least one projection. The at least one slot and the at least one projection coact to allow the sensor device to slide in the process direction to a location such that the laser beam is at a desired position within the detection range of the sensor device.
