Patent number: 10086693Abstract: A fuel cap barrier kit is basically provided with a movable barrier and an attachment member. The movable barrier is dimensioned and structured to be attached to a vehicle body at a location in which the movable barrier is disposed in front of a fuel cap and is underneath a filler compartment door. The movable barrier is movable between an inlet accessible position in which the movable barrier permits user access to the fuel cap and an inlet blocking position in which the movable barrier is disposed in front of the fuel cap. The attachment member is configured to fixedly attach the movable barrier to the vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Derek James Logan, Michael Betts, Thomas Scott Dennis, Elwyn Jones, Roman Pense

Publication number: 20080126514Abstract: A system and method for creating an image object or set from a plurality of captured images. The system comprises an interface for receiving the captured images from a client location, a storage device for storing the images and a processor for converting the received images into a format compatible with the image object. The system may include a user interface for accessing the image object and manipulating or otherwise managing the image object (or image set). According to one embodiment, the system comprises a network-based implementation, such as a web-based implementation for the Internet.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2007Publication date: May 29, 2008Inventor: Michael Betts

Publication number: 20050161261Abstract: A steerable soil penetration system having a steerable penetration head, which compacts and does not cut away the surrounding soil and which is connected to an elongate flexible tubing such that the orientation of the penetration head can be varied relative to the tubing. The elongate tubing and/or a downhole hammer or tractor pushes the penetration head through the subsurface formation. Preferably the tubing is surrounded by a narrow annulus so that buckling of the tubing is inhibited and the tubing protects the pierced hole against caving in.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2003Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventors: Michael Betts, Josef Guillaume Coenen, Pieter Kapteijn, Peter Oosterling, Paul Schilte, Pleun Van Der Sman, Gustaaf Van Wechem
