Patent number: 9879387Abstract: A system for re-surfacing a pavement surface includes a conduit configured to transfer a spreadable material and a material application and dispersal device (MADD) coupled in flow communication with the conduit. The MADD includes at least one material application mechanism (MAM) coupled in flow communication with the conduit. The system also includes a pressurization device coupled in flow communication with the conduit and the MADD. The pressurization device is configured to channel the spreadable material into the at least one MAM and to generate a positive pressure within the at least one MAM to facilitate delivering the spreadable material to the pavement surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: DONELSON CONSTRUCTION CO., LLCInventor: Michael James Donelson

Patent number: 9469284Abstract: A vehicle anti-lock braking system includes at least one automatic hydraulic brake adjuster (AHBA) coupled in flow communication with at least one braking mechanism configured to interact with a vehicle wheel. The system also includes at least one pressure regulating device coupled in flow communication with the at least one AHBA. The system further includes at least one wheel speed sensor coupled to the vehicle wheel. The system also includes a control unit communicatively coupled to the at least one pressure regulating device and the at least one wheel speed sensor. The control unit is configured to actuate the at least one pressure regulating device at least partially as a function of the rotational speed of the vehicle wheel.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Donelson Brake Systems, LLCInventors: Damian Paul Kubick, Terrence Christopher Donelson, Michael James Donelson
