  • Publication number: 20240140308
    Abstract: An accent lighting system for a vehicle is disclosed that includes a light module and a transmitter. The light module includes a first inductive member and a diffuser that extends along a periphery of the light module so as to collect and distribute light generated by the light module. The transmitter includes a second inductive member that is configured for electromagnetic communication with the first inductive member so as to create current in the first inductive member and thereby power the light module.

  • Publication number: 20240140307
    Abstract: A lighting system may be for a vehicle cup holder installed in a vehicle. The lighting system may include a first inductive member to be positioned adjacent a back side of the vehicle cup holder, and a first controller configured to inductively couple power and command signals through the first inductive member. The lighting system may also include a lighting device to be positioned adjacent a front side of the vehicle cup holder. The lighting device, in turn, may include a second inductive member configured for inductive coupling with the first inductive member, at least one light, and a second controller configured to operate the at least one light based upon power and command signals inductively coupled to the second inductive member from the first inductive member.

  • Publication number: 20120097203
    Abstract: An apparatus provides overhead canopy/cover function for an outdoor cooking grill. The canopy provides protection of the food and the grill from fallen debris during cooking. When the grill is not in use, the apparatus can be retracted to a cover position for storage. In the retracted position, the apparatus provides a compact cover to prevent dust and other debris from damaging the grill.

  • Patent number: 8144060
    Abstract: An antenna unit includes one or more antenna circuits coupled to one or more antenna structures. Each antenna structure includes a first feed point and a second feed point to receive signals from a transceiver unit or transmit signals to the transceiver unit. The first feed point of each antenna structure is configured to maximize coupling into an associated antenna structure at a first frequency band and the second feed point of each antenna structure is configured to maximize coupling into an associated antenna structure at a second frequency band. Each antenna structure has a slot that separates each antenna structure into a first patch associated with the first feed point and the first frequency band and a second patch associated with the second feed point and the second frequency band. Each antenna circuit is operatively coupled to the transceiver unit without an intervening multiplexing functionality or circuitry.

  • Patent number: 5816484
    Abstract: A thermoplastic molded or formed container has four trapezoidal walls that incline upwardly and outwardly upstanding from a bottom wall to create a top opening that is larger than the bottom wall. Each side wall has a closure flap that is connected to it at an upper edge by a living hinge. A locking handle member in the shape of a loop with locking extensions extends from an edge of one flap and engages a slot in an opposite flap. The handle member is a loop with locking projections which engage the opposite flap surface, the handle member passing through the slot for manually grasping. The container may be square or rectangular in transverse section or a combination thereof with a conical truncated section.

  • Patent number: 5382088
    Abstract: A knock-down cabinet is formed of a plurality of wall panels, each panel being formed of rigid members interconnected to form a frame. A fabric is stretched on the frame to form a side surface for the cabinet. The member may have a tubular cross section and may be extruded from an aluminum or an alloy thereof to form a very light, yet strong cabinet. The cabinet may be provided with similarly constructed trays for holding flat objects.

  • Patent number: 5287653
    Abstract: A cabinet with sliding doors includes tracks for supporting said doors and track shifting members for shifting the doors between two positions. In one position the doors are disposed adjacent a cabinet frame defining an opening, said doors sealing said opening. In another position of the tracks the doors are spaced away from the frame and each other so that they can slide at will to allow objects to be inserted or withdrawn from the cabinet. A handle may be used to shift the tracks back and forth. The doors may be transparent to permit the cabinet to be used for displaying as well as storing articles.
