Patent number: 10561341Abstract: An impact detection device for detecting impacts to a body part of a user and various supporting systems are discussed. In an example, an impact detect device can include a circuit board, a component having a first section and a second section, a battery, and a molding for housing the circuit boat, the battery and the component. The circuit board can include impact detection circuitry including at least two sensors and a communication circuit. A zone of reduced rigidity can connect the first and second sections of the component, with the circuit board secured to the first section. The battery can be secured to the second section of the component allowing for flex relative to the circuit board. The molding can be shaped and dimensioned for mounting to a body part of the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: BlackBox Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: David A.

Publication number: 20130055933Abstract: A portable and removable security container assembly and a method of its use are described. The assembly includes a docking bracket that is secured permanently to a substrate surface in either a motor vehicle or a building, and a lock-box or safe. The safe has a housing that has at least two cavities or compartments, in one of which is situated a locking mechanism of a latching assembly. The safe is adopted to engage with the docking bracket and fastened in place by means of the locking mechanism. The control for the latching assembly is accessible and activated only from within the safe. When the safe is placed in the docking bracket, the locking mechanism is aligned with engagement elements of the docking bracket. The latch assembly includes a rotatable carousel centered on a hub that a user can turned by a switch handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2011Publication date: March 7, 2013Inventors: Mikhail S.

Patent number: 6739798Abstract: A rotary power trowel machine for finishing concrete surfaces and more particularly to a quick adjustment mechanism for the pitch of the blades. The quick adjustment mechanism includes a control lever mounted on the operating handle of the trowel in a position to be easily grasped and operated by a trowel operator. The control lever changes the blade pitch through a mechanical advantage linkage which reduces the force applied to the control lever to adjust the blade pitch. The control lever includes a locking mechanism to lock the control handle and linkage in selected positions to lock the blades at a desired pitch angle. The locking mechanism includes a semicircular guide mounted on the trowel operating handle and extending through openings in the control lever. A locking device on the control lever lockingly engages the guide and is selectively locked and released from an upper end of the control lever.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2003Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Stone Construction Equipment, Inc.Inventors: Stephen C. Vandewinckel, Kim Sherman
