Publication number: 20090051522Abstract: Described is a sequential lighting system that is controlled by a control circuit. The sequential lighting system includes a series of LEDs, a housing having a plurality of compartments or devices with each compartment configured to contain one or more of said LEDs and a control circuit operable to illuminate said LEDs in a pre-determined sequence to signify a current state of said vehicle or an intended maneuver of said vehicle. Such a sequential lighting system provides a more noticeable and visible image than conventional lighting systems which comprise an on-off illumination of one or more LEDs forming the turn signal. An integrated light sensor also provides means for controlling the brightness of the LEDs when activated according to external lighting conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2007Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventor: Mark Perkins

Publication number: 20080309034Abstract: This invention pertains to a multi-function tool that when assembled in different configurations would meet many needs of the home or commercial mechanic. One configuration is height adjustable allowing users to work safely in an elevated position over the engine compartment of a light truck (i.e. half-ton to one-ton vehicle) even if that vehicle is lifted or taller than factory normal. Another configuration is an engine stand to hold a small engine block so the mechanic may repair it. Yet another configuration is a crane or hoist to assist in lifting engines or parts of engines (e.g. heads) out of the engine compartment to prevent injury to the mechanic. This hoist could also aid in lifting the engine or engine parts onto the engine stand or onto another conveyance (i.e. onto a truck).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2007Publication date: December 18, 2008Applicant: NOMAD MANUFACTURING & DISTRIBUTION LTD.Inventors: Mark PERKINS, Ruby PERKINS

Publication number: 20060259277Abstract: A method and system for the systematic evaluation and rating of technical equipment using a data processing device (20), which works together with at least one data memory (21) and has an input (22) and display device (23), in which, step-by-step for the particular technical equipment, at least one first data set having economically relevant input parameters and at least one second data set having technically relevant input parameters are detected and/or established. For each data set, through knowledge-based predetermined numerical and/or logical linkages and knowledge-based predetermined weighting factors specific to the equipment, the established input parameters are brought together into an economic evaluation parameter FIx and a technical evaluation parameter RIx, respectively, and from the established evaluation parameters, through knowledge-based predetermined numerical linkages and weighting factors, a single overall resulting evaluation parameter EIx is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2004Publication date: November 16, 2006Applicant: ABB PATENT GMBHInventors: Nicolaie Fantana, Lars Pettersson, Mark Perkins, Ramsis Girgis, Asim Falzlagic

Publication number: 20050066326Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment request a program or programs to tune themselves to run faster or slower if a service class is not meeting its performance goal. In an embodiment, the program is repeatedly requested to incrementally tune itself until the performance goal is met or until no further improvement occurs. In various embodiments, the programs to be requested to tune themselves are selected based on whether the programs are bottlenecks for the service class, whether the programs do the majority of work for the service class, whether the programs easily meet their own performance goals, or whether the programs are low priority. In this way, the programs may be performance tuned in a way that is more effective and less intrusive than by adjusting global, system-level resource allocations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2003Publication date: March 24, 2005Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: David Herbeck, David Hubka, Mark Masbruch, Mark Perkins, Joseph Peterson, DeVaughn Rackham, Richard Smith
