  • Hybrid traffic system and associated method
    Patent number: 8849554
    Abstract: A traffic sensing system for sensing traffic at a roadway includes a first sensor having a first field of view, a second sensor having a second field of view, and a controller. The first and second fields of view at least partially overlap in a common field of view over a portion of the roadway, and the first sensor and the second sensor provide different sensing modalities. The controller is configured to select a sensor data stream for at least a portion of the common field of view from the first and/or second sensor as a function of operating conditions at the roadway.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 30, 2014
    Assignee: Image Sensing Systems, Inc.

  • Taping machine for wire harness
    Patent number: 5355787
    Abstract: Taping apparatus (27) has a body (3) with a mouth (3a) opening to one side radially of an axis (A). A head (1, 5, 16) having a mouth (3a) radial of the axis (A) is mounted for rotation about the axis (A) on the body (3) and has a gear disposed around the head in meshing engagement with two gears (17) mounted on the body. The gears (17) are both in mesh with a gear (9) rotated by a gear (11) driven by motor (12) thus to rotate the head. A tape reel (28) is carried by chuck (6) rotatably disposed on an axle (8) on the head for rotation about an axis (B) parallel with the axis (A). A counterbalance (4) is mounted on the head (1, 5, 16) opposite the chuck (6) on axle (8) comprising a weight (2) movable towards and away from the axis (A) and a roller (26) urged by a spring (24) against the outermost layer (28a) of the tape on reel (28) thereby detecting the diameter of tape carried by the reel (28) thus to move the weight (2) to a position to substantially counterbalance the reel as it rotates.
