  • Publication number: 20230167651
    Abstract: A pool cover for temperature regulation of pool water having an upper sheet of flexible material and a lower sheet of flexible material. The sheets are joined together at their side edges and along a plurality of longitudinally seams to form a panel having a plurality of longitudinal seams to provide a plurality of flow channels. A pump attached to an input tube draws in water from the pool, and via an input manifold forces the pumped water through the flow channels in the panel, and out the ends of the flow channels back into the pool. Pool water pumped through the flow channels picks up heat from incident solar radiation and the ambient air temperature, or gives off heat to the ambient environment, depending on the temperature of the air, the amount of incident radiation, and the temperature control settings provided by the user.

  • Patent number: 8635925
    Abstract: An embodiment provides a shift inhibitor apparatus for a multiple speed transmission main section. The transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft The transmission main section has a plurality of selectively engageable ratios. The transmission also has a range section shiftable between a range high ratio and a range low ratio. The shift inhibitor includes an interlock moveable between a locked condition and a released condition, wherein the interlock selectively prevents a gear shift in the transmission main section. The shift inhibitor also includes a range sensor valve. The range sensor valve selectively detects a range shift of the range section. The range sensor valve selectively causes the interlock to be positioned in the released condition upon detection of a completed range shift. The interlock is selectively positioned by a fluid.

  • Publication number: 20130297468
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate tracking time. In some embodiments, the method obtains first time information. The first time information can be obtained via a timer embedded in an application executing on a first device. The method may associate the first time information with a first task identifier and generate a timesheet based on the associated first time information, which may include a unique indication of the first task identifier. The method may display the generated timesheet on a display of a mobile device. The method may modify the generated timesheet to include a second time information, which may correspond to a second task identifier. The timesheet can be modified via the mobile device touch interface. The method may display the modified timesheet with a unique indication of the second task identifier. The method may submit, via the mobile device, the timesheet to a time tracker server.

  • Patent number: 7509885
    Abstract: An embodiment provides a shift inhibitor apparatus. At least a portion of the range actuating assembly is moveable between a range first ratio and a range second ratio. The portion of the range actuating assembly is moveable, at least in part, in response to a fluid pressure. The range chamber is selectively in fluid communication with a vent. The shift inhibitor includes a main section neutral interlock having an interlock chamber. At least a portion of the main section neutral interlock is moveable between a first condition and a second condition. The interlock chamber is selectively in fluid communication with the vent. The range chamber can be exhausted such that the range section is selectively switched from the first ratio to the second ratio. The interlock chamber can be exhausted such that the main section neutral interlock is selectively switched from the first condition to the second condition.

  • Publication number: 20050095024
    Abstract: An apparatus for developing a latent image recorded on a movable imaging surface, including: a reservoir for storing a supply of developer material including toner particles, said reservoir including a transport member; a donor member being arranged to receive toner particles from said transport member and to deliver toner particles to the image surface at locations spaced apart from each other in the direction of movement of the imaging surface thereby to develop the latent image thereon; a power supply, connected to said donor member, for biasing said donor member to deliver toner to the image surface during a printing mode of operation; a second power supply, connected to the transport member, for maintaining a predefined voltage difference between the transport member and the donor member such that toner particles are attracted to the donor member from the transport member during a printing mode of operation; a controller for generating a donor member purge signal trigger based on sensed or calculated dev
