Patent number: 9487250Abstract: A vehicle comprising at least one pressure-drag-reducing apparatus (1) for reducing the pressure drag on the vehicle. The apparatus comprises: a housing (31) at least partly defining a cavity (34) and an aperture (35) in the housing (31), the cavity (34) in fluid communication via the aperture (35) with the environment surrounding the vehicle; and oscillating means (32, 36) for creating an oscillation in pressure across the aperture between the cavity and the environment. The cavity volume, the frequency of oscillation, the aperture size and the amplitude of oscillation are arranged to cause fluid to be alternately drawn into, and ejected from, the cavity through the aperture. The apparatus is positioned relative to the remainder of the vehicle such that the ejected fluid entrains fluid from the environment to reduce pressure drag on the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Imperial Innovations LimitedInventors: Jonathan Finlay Morrison, Anthony Oxlade, Ala Makram Qubain, Juan Marcos Garcia de la Cruz Lopez

Publication number: 20160196743Abstract: Provided is a sign assembly for use in conjunction with a traffic signal. The sign assembly includes an internal power source for powering a lowering mechanism, such as a motor in driven connection with a pulley, and a sign lowering mechanism such as a standard stop sign. The sign assembly further includes a control circuit in electrical communication with the internal circuitry of the traffic signal having a sensor configured to monitor the traffic signal for power loss. The control circuit is configured to lower the stop sign when a loss of power to the traffic signal is detected and raise the stop sign when power is restored to the traffic signal. The stop sign reduces accident risk by reminding drivers to always stop at a four-way traffic signal intersection when the traffic signals lose power and become inoperable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventor: Marco Garcia

Publication number: 20140319857Abstract: A door structure for vehicles has a door outer lining, a door inner lining and a locking/closing mechanism with actuating elements on the outer side and optionally on the inner side of the door. The locking/closing mechanism is connected to the door release via at least one transmission element (8) between the door outer lining and the door inner lining. A locking element (1) between the door outer lining and the door inner lining acts on the transmission element (8) and inhibits the door release in the event of a side impact, The locking element (1) inhibits the operation of the transmission element (8) by blocking it as a result of pivoting of the locking element (1) in the event of a relative movement of the door outer lining in the direction of the door inner lining.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: Dr. Ing. h.c.

Patent number: 7437704Abstract: Generating language-translated versions of software include a parsing engine to scan original-language versions of software, and detect textual string or other expressions which may require translation for other countries or markets. After testing for prior translation, those strings may be converted to appropriate expressions in other languages, and for instance stored in paired-memory or other format. Users may download the original version of the software, and then install run-time, language-specific resources to tailor the software to their market or country. The run-time, language-specific resources may be or include resource-only dynamic link libraries (dlls). In embodiments the target language into which translation may be made may be automatically detected using the regional settings of the user's machine, or otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2003Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Inventors: Ines Antje Dahne-Steuber, Marcos Garcia

Publication number: 20030195625Abstract: A synthetic or natural human hair end is encapsulated with a biodegradable implantable material, to form an artificial follicle suitable for implantation. The biodegradable material can be programmed to be reabsorbed by the body in a predetermined term of time. Once the material is substantially absorbed by the body the hair shaft will lose its anchor hold into the derma. The degenerated hair will shed by simply combing or washing the hair. The created artificial hair must be implanted individually to create a natural appearance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2002Publication date: October 16, 2003Inventors: Marco A.
