Patent number: 11050916Abstract: A body-worn surveillance system is associated with the ICV system via a docking mechanism that is connected to the ICV system via a cable, or other means. The ICV system recognizes the specific body-worn system(s). In order to reduce power draw on the mobile battery powered BWV device and thus extend record time(s), the BWV wireless radio is left in a suspended or sleep state and the lower power draw Bluetooth radio is enabled. When the body-worn system is within a specified proximity (RSSI) of the ICV system's wireless Bluetooth transceiver and there are recorded files available for transfer, the BWV device's wireless Ethernet connection will be enabled to transfer AV files to the ICV system, which will then store those files on the ICV system's internal media.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Kustom Signals, Inc.Inventors: Warren Page, Michael Paulson, Dave Teeter

Patent number: 10984253Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for capturing a video image and speed of a target vehicle. A ranging device detects a distance to a target vehicle. The focal distance or zoom of a video camera is set and adjusted based on the distance. The speed of travel of the vehicle is detected, displayed, and/or stored in association with a video image captured of the vehicle by the video camera. A range of distances within which to capture the video image and speed of the vehicle may be set by detecting distances between a pair of landmarks or using GPS and compass heading data. An inclinometer is provided to aid initiation of a power-conservation mode. A target tracking time may be determined and compared to a minimum tracking time period. A device certification period can be stored and displayed and the device deactivated upon expiration thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Kustom Signals, Inc.Inventors: Michael Bietsch, Kent F.

Patent number: 10768297Abstract: A traffic radar system comprises a first radar transceiver assembly, a second radar transceiver assembly, a display, and a processing element. The first radar transceiver assembly transmits and receives radar beams and generates a first electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The second radar transceiver assembly transmits and receives radar beams and generates a second electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The display displays a plurality of speeds, each speed being a speed of a target vehicle. The processing element is configured to receive the first and second electronic signals, process the first electronic signal to determine speeds of target vehicles in the front zone, process the second electronic signal to determine speeds of target vehicles in the rear zone, and control the display to display the speeds of target vehicles in the front zone or target vehicles in the rear zone based on predetermined parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Kustom Signals, Inc.Inventors: Maurice Shelton, Mike Bietsch, Michael Paulson

Patent number: 10228081Abstract: A method of forming a hose assembly is disclosed. The hose assembly comprises a tube formed from a polymeric material and defining an outer peripheral surface, and a reinforcing layer disposed about the outer peripheral surface of the tube. The reinforcing layer comprises reinforcing fibers and a binder formed from binding fibers. The method includes the steps of extruding the tube, forming a commingled braid from the reinforcing fibers and the binding fibers, and disposing the commingled braid about the outer peripheral surface of the tube to form a reinforced tube. The method also includes the steps of heating the reinforced tube to a temperature (T1) equal to or greater than a peak melting temperature of the binding fibers to at least partially melt the binding fibers, and cooling the reinforced tube to solidify the melted binding fibers and form the hose assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Kongsberg Actuation Systems II, Inc.Inventors: Leo Moreau, Michael Paulson, Rich Hahn, Arjen Schippers

Patent number: 4063630Abstract: A typewriter-printer includes a single element printing mechanism which is pivotable about the center line of the curved platen to an optimum print line viewing position. Printing can thus take place, for example, along a print line located below the center line of the curved platen or, in the alternative, above the platen center line in accordance with operator adjustment of the printing mechanism. The printing mechanism is mounted for printing motion and is further mounted for escapement motion with respect to the stationary platen.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1976Date of Patent: December 20, 1977Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Ray Crowe, Thomas Michael Paulson
