  • Patent number: 11915329
    Abstract: An online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.

  • Publication number: 20120137838
    Abstract: A wrench may have a cord extending from the wrench to tether the wrench to an adjacent object. The first end of the wrench may be configured to enclose a nut or a bolt. The second end of the wrench may have one or more holes through which the cord may be inserted. Each end of the cord may have a hook. The cord and/or the hooks may be used to secure the second end of the wrench to the adjacent object. Cords having different lengths may be provided so that a distance between the second end of the wrench and the adjacent object may be accommodated.

  • Publication number: 20110133481
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of generators and engines. Specific embodiments of the invention include a generator comprising: a combustion chamber for combusting fuel to produce a high pressure flow of air or gas; a combustion wheel comprising: a rim with circumferentially spaced combustion plates protruding radially outward from the rim for receiving the high pressure flow of air or gas; a wheel hub providing means for rotating the wheel on an axis of rotation upon interaction of the high pressure flow on the combustion plates; spokes comprising one or more magnets, wherein the spokes operably connect the hub to the rim and provide for the magnets to interact with pick-up coils; pick-up coils for receiving energy from the magnets during rotation of the wheel and for producing electrical energy therefrom; and optionally comprising a battery for receiving and storing energy from the pick-up coils.

  • Patent number: 7287774
    Abstract: A stabilizing device with an tubular housing is disclosed. The tubular housing may be manufactured to provide the torsion assembly an ability to rotate from a first position to a second position without substantially changing the angle of the stabilizing wheels and thus allows a motorcycle to turn through turns at low or high speeds without tipping over. The tubular housing further contains an elastic receiver the absorbs the rotational force of the torsion assembly and upon removal of the gravitational force of the motorcycle, the elastic receiver provides a retracting force on the torsion assembly to return the orientation of the torsion assembly to the original first position.

  • Publication number: 20040195026
    Abstract: An auxiliary wheel conversion assembly for a motorcycle comprises a frame having side members on opposite sides of a receiving space to receive the rear drive wheel of the motorcycle when connected thereto. The assembly has a pair of wheels having a common axis but each being independently mounted to a side member opposite the receiving space, and the pair of wheels substantially in contact with the ground surface at all speeds and is not adapted to selectively lift the wheels. The frame also is substantially at or below the axis of rotation of the rear wheel of the motorcycle.

  • Publication number: 20030173756
    Abstract: A steering assist apparatus, a vehicle using the steering assist apparatus and a method for steering are provided. The steering assist apparatus assists a rider with steering a vehicle, such as a motorcycle or trike. The feet and/or legs of the rider are used as an assist to effect movement of handlebars normally controlled only by the hands and/or arms of the rider. The steering assist apparatus may reduce the amount of work required to steer the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20030034193
    Abstract: An auxiliary wheel conversion assembly for a motorcycle comprises a quick connect and disconnect structure, including a generally U-shaped frame having side frame members on opposite sides of a receiving pocket to receive the rear drive wheel of the motorcycle when connected thereto, a cross-bar across the rear between the two side frame members, an auxiliary wheel mounted along and to the outside of each side frame member, such wheels being of the same size as the rear drive wheel and substantially in axial alignment therewith when the conversion assembly is connected to the motorcycle. The forward end portions of each side frame member converge inwardly as they extend forwardly. Their forward ends include connecting members for quick releasable connection to corresponding cooperative connecting members secured to the forward and lower portion of the motorcycle frame.

  • Patent number: 6454289
    Abstract: A trailer hitch cart for a motorcycle comprises a two-wheel cart having a U-shaped frame, with a lateral frame member, a first longitudinal frame member extending forward from one end of the lateral frame member, and a second longitudinal frame member extending forward from the opposite end of the lateral frame member. Wheel mounting assemblies are provided at the forward ends of the respective longitudinal frame member on which the wheels on each side of the cart are mounted. The wheel mounting assemblies include rotation resisting shock absorbers connected by a crank member to the axles on which the wheels of the cart are mounted. As the wheels move up and down over the bumps in the road surface, the wheels on their axles rotate the crank members which applies rotational pressure to the shaft of the rotational type shock absorber.
