Patent number: 11724645Abstract: A system warning the driver of a mass transit vehicle that at least one pedestrian is within an injury risk zone adjacent the mass transit vehicle. The system includes a vibration generator in or on the driver's seat of the mass transit vehicle, functionally associated with a motion sensor and an associated timer commencing sensing of pedestrian motion toward the vehicle for a predetermined duration immediately after the boarding door has been closed in preparation for departure from the boarding zone. Any such pedestrian motion toward the vehicle sensed by the motion sensor within a first risk zone adjacent the vehicle stimulates the first vibration generator to generate a first tactile signaling output perceptible by the driver sitting on the driver's seat for notification of the pedestrian motion in the first risk zone. The vibratory notification may be combined with motion-stimulated visual warning output on a monitor and/or auditory alarm output on a speaker.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Inventor: Paul Abernathy

Publication number: 20050029335Abstract: A food package storage and dispensing container having a top, bottom and sides. At least one side has a structure defining a potential dispensing opening. The opening includes an openable line defining a downwardly extending U-shaped path. The opening of the container is provided along the openable line in which a flap is formed that turns about a transverse line thereabove. In the absence of an object passing through the opening, the flap naturally turns about the transverse line to extend generally downwardly to generally cover the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventor: Paul Abernathy
