  • Patent number: 9702100
    Abstract: A non-lethal vehicle device provides for the selective, remotely-deployed controlled stop of a targeted vehicle regardless of wheel or undercarriage configuration. The device includes a combination of a remote arm/safe mechanism, a remote deployment controller, spike/membrane deployment mechanism(s), a “speed bump” type housing that can protrude (be driven over until deployed) or be submerged, and one or more membranes with a plurality of spikes. A combination of sensors may provide independent deployment once armed.

The system includes a user interface having a display region. The display region may include a user selection menu wherein one of a plurality of stored users may be selected. Once a user is selected, various customized user interface parameters and wash cycles associated with that user will be available for selection. The customized user interface parameters may include brightness, contrast, volume, and the like. Each cycle may include various customized wash cycle parameters, such as wash temperature, spin speed and soil level. The user interface may further include a plurality of soft keys provided for the selection of menu options on the display. In addition, the user interface may include a rotatable knob from which cycle selections may be made.

  • Patent number: 5403997
    Abstract: A rethermalization cart having top and bottom sides connected together by at least two side walls. Attached to the side walls at a plurality of vertically spaced positions are a plurality of tray supports. Attached adjacent and below the tray supports and in a cantilevered out position are a plurality of heating pads at each tray support location. Each of the pads is secured so that it can be individually disconnected, removed and replaced as needed. Switches within each individual heating pad are activated by covers that are positioned over the food. The use of the covers provides a positive indication whether the food is being heating since the switches are magnetic and the covers contain corresponding magnets. Thus, by leaving the cover off there is a positive assurance that the food will remain cold.

  • Patent number: 3966426
    Abstract: The cooking vessel has a laminated wall including one layer of a magnetic material having a thickness, determined in accordance with skin depth as a function of the operating frequencies of the cooking device so that the major part of the power is developed in the one layer and substantial penetration of the magnetic field produced by the device beyond the layer is prevented, and another layer of relatively high thermal conductivity material which promotes the uniform distribution of heat derived from the magnetic layer throughout the other layer.
