Abstract: A landing gear system including a landing gear actuator assembly arranged to selectably provide an increased torque output to a cross-shaft adaptor rotationally coupled to a cross-shaft of a trailer landing gear assembly. A rotational engagement mechanism is arranged to, in response to a remote signal, shift a rotational engagement mechanism to selectably couple the cross-shaft adaptor with a light gear set or selectably couple the cross-shaft adaptor with a heavy gear set. The landing gear actuator includes a slip-clutch assembly to dampen, reduce, or eliminate rotational shock caused when retracting or extending the legs of the landing gear system.

Abstract: An evaporator air cooler having vertically stackable major components. A water reservoir is located within the bottom panel of the housing. A filtered media is positioned generally above the water reservoir. A fan is positioned above the water reservoir and the filter media. In this manner, the footprint of the unit is minimized. The warm air intake and the cool air discharge are located on the same side of the housing so that the unit may be placed against a wall thereby further minimizing the footprint. Automated controls are included to monitor temperature and humidity than oscillate the vertical louvers.

Abstract: A set of benchmarks is determined for a course of action defined for an entity. Data is obtained from one or more exogenous sources. Based on the obtained data and using at least one artificial intelligence agent, one or more benchmarks are evaluated. Based on the evaluation, the set of benchmarks is optimized to obtain a revised set of benchmarks. The revised set of benchmarks is output to be used to evaluate one or more components of the course of action. The obtaining, evaluating, optimizing and outputting are repeated at a plurality of selected times to optimize the revised set of benchmarks. The revised set of benchmarks dynamically changes over the plurality of selected times as the course of action evolves over time.

Abstract: An automated system for raising and lowering a person to various desired levels and enables the person to more comfortably and safely perform activities and tasks that require them to be at an elevated position relative to floor or ground surface. This system can comprise a lift platform attached to a series of vertical rails. The present invention has the capability to enable a user to remotely control vertical movements of the standing platform and the horizontal movement of this invention. This invention can enable a user to remotely control vertical movements of the standing platform and the horizontal movement of this invention. A remote control device facilitates these control movements. This invention can also move laterally across a horizontal surface and can detect obstruction during these movements. As an obstruction is detected, this device has the capability to stop movement to ensure safety of a user.

A locking mechanism is biased toward a locked position. The locking mechanism includes a locking wheel on which the carousel rotates until the carousel reaches a preselected angular position. The recess aligns with the locking wheel at the preselected angular position and, due to a bias force, the locking wheel extends into the recess to inhibit rotation of the carousel until the carousel is spun manually, forcing the carousel to rotate and the locking wheel to retract until the locking wheel encounters the recess again.
