  • Patent number: 11714773
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor that provides a USB-2 channel and a USB-3 channel to a device. The device provides the USB-2 and -3 channels to selected ports. Each port includes a USB-3 enable setting. When the USB-3 enable setting for each particular USB port is in a first state, the associated device USB-3 channel is active, and when the USB-3 enable setting for each particular USB port is in a second state, the associated device USB-3 channel is inactive. The USB-3 enable setting for at least one of the USB ports is placed into the second state to reduce electromagnetic interference between the associated USB-3 channel and an antenna.

  • Publication number: 20180369674
    Abstract: The present invention is a sport training equipment apparatus developed for lacrosse players. The purpose is to act as a high density lacrosse ball re-bounder for lacrosse players to practice throwing and catching on. The core components of the invention are: The main body of the apparatus, which is made of a high density composite panel incorporating dense solid core material that forms a curved, hard surface of the wall on an incline. This playing surface of the main body will be manufactured out of fiber reinforced plastic or other high density composites in a mold. The main body will be filled with a dense core material to create a dense, heavy surface, which upon collision of a thrown ball and the wall, will transform the kinetic energy inherent in a thrown ball, into potential energy stored in the ball utilizing the elastic properties of the ball itself rather than relying on the elastic properties of the rebounding apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6690285
    Abstract: A forage harvester represents agricultural implements that include at least one rotating component which is driven through a drive train including a main clutch operable between engaged and disengaged conditions so as to selectively couple and disconnect an output of the implement power source with the rotatable component. A rotation alarm circuit is provided for causing a warning device or devices to be energized in the event that the operator leaves a seat, in which he sits for normal operation, for a predetermined minimum time period while the rotatable component is still rotating, as determined by a rotation sensor. The warning device will remain energized until the rotatable component spins down to a zero speed.

  • Patent number: 6000742
    Abstract: A seat mounting apparatus for supporting a seat allows the seat to be positioned in three possible positions allowing for improved ingress/egress and cargo carrying. The seat mounting apparatus includes a seat back frame (28), a seat bottom frame (36), a front leg (50), and a rear leg (44). A guide mechanism (59) is disposed between the seat bottom frame and the front leg for guiding the front leg. A reclining mechanism (91) is interposed between the seat back frame and the seat bottom frame for allowing the seat back frame to move between first and second reclined positions and into a first folded position. A front release mechanism (61) is interposed between the seat bottom frame and the front leg for controlling relative motion between the front leg and the seat bottom upon actuation of the front release mechanism.

  • Patent number: 3983533
    Abstract: A circuit for providing an indication to the operator of a motor vehicle that the engine or vehicle is operating under conditions likely to produce poor fuel economy. The fuel economy indicating circuit includes a first circuit for generating a first electrical signal having a magnitude proportional to the angular velocity of a component of the vehicle drive train, and a second circuit for generating a second electrical signal having a magnitude proportional to the angular acceleration of a component of the vehicle drive train. A third circuit combines the first and second electrical signals to generate a third signal having a magnitude that is a function of the magnitudes of the first and second electrical signals. An electrically actuable indicating device is controlled by a fourth circuit that is responsive to the magnitude of the third electrical signal to cause actuation of the indicating device when the third electrical signal reaches a predetermined threshold level.
