Method and apparatus for capturing road curve properties and calculating maximum safe advisory speed
Patent number: 9592833Abstract: This invention relates generally to the field of Highway signage and more specifically to a device for automatically capturing road curve properties and a process for automating calculating the maximum safe Advisory Speed of Roads. This invention is a new device that automates the accurate measurement of road curve/Railway radius and super elevation. This information is assembled to automatically report the recommended curve speed, or Curve Advisor Speed (CAS) for a particular curve. The device is assembled into a single, compact, low power and transportable case which can be driven at normal road speeds in a car.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: RIEKER INC.Inventors: Edward P. Denigan, Joseph P. Caruso, Charles E. Gosnell, Abhay A. Tambe -

Publication number: 20140100489Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that uses at least one low power optical radiation source in a suitable head which can be held over a treatment area for a substantial period of time or can be moved over the treatment area a number of times during each treatment. The apparatus, a hand held light emitting applicator (LEA) or light emitting skin applicator (LESA), can be in the form of a brush or roller adapted to be moved over the patient's skin surface as radiation is applied to the skin. The skin-contacting surface of the LEA or LESA can have protuberances such as projections or bristles that can massage the skin and deliver radiation. In addition, an apparatus which delivers optical radiation to a treatment area is disclosed that contains a retrofit housing adapted to be joined to a skin-contacting device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory B. Altshuler, Joseph P. Caruso

Publication number: 20130018236Abstract: Photocosmetic device for use in medical or non-medical environments (e.g., a home, barbershop, or spa), which can be used for a variety of tissue treatments. Radiation is delivered to the tissue via optical systems designed to pattern the radiation and project the radiation to a particular depth. The device has a variety of cooling systems including phase change cooling solids and liquids to cool treated skin and the radiation sources. Contact sensors and motion sensor may be used to enhance treatment. The device may be modular to facilitate manufacture and replacement of parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory B. Altshuler, Joseph P. Caruso, Henry H. Zenzie, James G. Burke, III, Andrei V. Erofeev
