  • Publication number: 20140020605
    Abstract: The invention is a cantilevered table removably clamped to the underside of the frame of a piece of furniture, such as a sofa, the table featuring a table top surface adjustably affixed to at least one curved vertical side member terminating at its bottom end in a foot that extends beyond the proximal edge of the top surface. At least one wedge or clamp assembly is affixed to a bottom end of one vertical side member, beyond the proximal edge of the table top surface, the wedge assembly adjustably expanded to close the gap between the floor surface and the underside of the furniture, causing the furniture to anchor the cantilevered table to the floor. A plurality of wedge adaptors are provided to accommodate varying furniture designs.

  • Patent number: 8314559
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp using a high-power LED light source, receiving power regulated by a driver circuit, is mounted in a housing and covered at least in part by a light transmissive cover using a construction by which heat developed by the driver circuit (current regulator) is conducted to the light transmissive cover, thereby heating the transparent cover and so retarding the formation or accumulation of ice and snow on the light transmissive cover.

  • Patent number: 8251558
    Abstract: A vehicular headlamp system and corresponding kit, including (left and right) headlamps and a mode switch (control mechanism) responsive to inputs from a mode switch console or other user interface arrangements, the combination of headlamps and mode switch providing high and low beam on-road illumination and a higher level of illumination for off-road illumination using the same light source in each headlamp as is used for the on-road illumination. Cooperation between a light source driver circuit in each headlamp and the mode switch results in the light source in each headlamp being driven by more or less current, as required by the selected mode. A (daytime) running lights mode of operation may also be provided using the same light source.

  • Patent number: 7988346
    Abstract: A headlamp for a vehicle (air, land or sea) providing a planar array of infrared (IR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and visible light LEDs, and arranged and mounted within a housing so as to provide for cooling of the LEDs without forced convection, by conducting heat from the LEDs to protruding cooling fins. A switch system is also provided, for enabling either the visible light or the infrared light, and for selecting a high-beam or low-beam pattern. The beam pattern is provided in some embodiments so as to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle standards.

  • Publication number: 20110115192
    Abstract: A frame for a bicycle where at least either the so-called top tube or the so-called down tube has a webbed interior space, i.e. has interior walls running along its length creating separately two or more enclosed subspaces spanning at least some of the length of the tube. Such a webbed frame is made, typically, by extruding a material such as aluminum or an alloy.

  • Patent number: 7845895
    Abstract: A spare tire carrier featuring an integrated automotive jack, the jack used for manipulating the carrier into and out of a configuration suitable for transit. The jack may also be removed from the carrier, and used to elevate the vehicle. A strap and ratchet mechanism is also provided, helpful for securing the tire upon the carrier and also for leveraging the tire into place upon the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20090200496
    Abstract: A headlamp system providing both visible and IR illumination, provided in the same housing and using the same wiring harness as a headlamp system currently in use by the US Military, but instead of utilizing incandescent bulb technology as does the headlamp system currently in use, the headlamp system provided herewith utilizes HID lighting for visible light illumination, LEDs for blackout driving and marker lights, and an array of IR LEDs for IR illumination.
