  • Patent number: 9296423
    Abstract: The trailer backup assist system has a human machine interface coupled to a controller having a setup module, a calibration module, an activation module and a control module configured to receive trailer measurements, apply trailer measurements, activate and control vehicle systems to calibrate and implement a curvature control algorithm that controls the reverse movement of the vehicle-trailer combination in a manner consistent with a driver request. When incorrect trailer measurements have been entered, the trailer backup assist system recognizes the error, initiates a warning and requests corrective action to correct the trailer measurements. Default values for a maximum controllable curvature limit and a maximum controllable angle replace the limits calculated and applied by the calibration model that used incorrect trailer measurements, until corrected trailer measurements may be entered by the driver.

  • Publication number: 20060096535
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) for the application of a composition curable by irradiation to a fastener (2) having a conveyor (3) for conveying fasteners to an application station (5); an application station (10) comprising an applicator from which the composition is dispensed. The conveyor rotates the fasteners past the applicator for application of composition. The same or another conveyor (8) conveys the fasteners to an irradiation station (10) and rotates the fasteners for irradiation thereof. The irradiation station irradiates and thus cures the composition applied to each fastener.

  • Patent number: 5333600
    Abstract: A tar melting assembly that is used with a portable heat torch and has a tar melting kettle that includes a body having a front, back, side and bottom walls, and a spout that extends out from the front. A plurality of heat exchangers within the body are situated adjacent the bottom wall and each of these has an opening at the front and another opening at the back. A handle facilitates tipping of the kettle for pouring the melted tar. A stand for the tar kettle has a tray formed of a bottom, front, back and side walls that define the interior of the tray. The corners of the tray are supported on legs. A socket in the back wall of the tray receives the torch head and has a releasable latching provision. The tar kettle is seated in the stand so that inlets and outlets of the heat exchanger tubes are within the interior of the stand. The torch injects flame into the interior of the tray so that the flame enters the heat exchanger tubes for rapid melting of the tar in the tar kettle.
