  • Patent number: 9419474
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques and architectures for gradually transitioning from voltage supplied by a primary power source to voltage supplied by a secondary power source. In particular implementations, a voltage control circuit is used to transition voltage across a load to be supplied by the secondary power source. The voltage control circuit may include a first circuit and a second circuit connected in parallel. The first circuit may include the primary power source connect to the load, while the second circuit may include the secondary power source connected to one or more field-effect transistors. The one or more field-effect transistors may be controlled to cause current of the secondary power source to be gradually transferred to the load. This may result in a transfer of the voltage across the load to be supplied by the secondary power source.

  • Patent number: 4389821
    Abstract: An inflatable dock seal for closing the area defined by an opening such as a loading dock with respect to a truck or trailer includes a pair of vertical inflatable multiple sectioned members movable outwardly and towards one another in a curved configuration that will engage the sides of a truck or trailer and a upper generally horizontal inflatable member movable both outwardly and downwardly against the top of a truck or trailer. There are straps resiliently retracting the inflatable members when not inflated so as to provide a small relatively thin shape adjacent the dock opening.

  • Patent number: 4322923
    Abstract: A mounting for an inflatable dock seal which is used for closing the area around a dock opening in a wall with respect to a truck or trailer provides uninflated flexible tubular members on several sections of the inflatable dock seal and positions structural members in the flexible tubular members. A rigid mounting channel is secured to the wall about the dock opening which permits the quick and easy engagement of the structural members within the channel. Cylindrical holding plugs are then positioned in the channel locking the inflatable dock seal on the wall about the dock opening therein.
