  • Patent number: 11016189
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting tampering with a security device are provided. Some systems can include detecting an object within a detection range of one or more sensors of the security device, analyzing position data from the one or more sensors, wherein the position data is indicative of a position of the object relative to the security device, determining whether the positon data indicates that the object is approaching a security device, and when the position data indicates that the object is approaching the security device, issuing a warning signal.

  • Patent number: 10960860
    Abstract: A brake controller has a control dial with a series of full color LEDs arranged around the dial. The dial with its LEDs is in a module mounted on the dash of the towing vehicle and connected by a cable to a main module mounted out of sight. The dial is a rotary encoder pushbutton mounted on the same circuit board as the LED chips. Status information is output using the LEDs primarily based on color. Substantially all setting input is provided solely by user manipulation of the dial, pushing the dial in to change setting input mode, with the value of the input reflected in the number of LEDs being lit in a color corresponding to the brake controller setting being changed, as the user rotates the dial either clockwise or counterclockwise to change setting values.

  • Publication number: 20190111899
    Abstract: A brake controller is provided as an inline plug between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle or trailer. The electronics including an accelerometer and wireless communication radio are potted within a brake controller housing package. There is no conventional display or input controls on the exterior of the brake controller package. Input settings, and possibly output messages, are communicated through a smartphone or similar software or hardware application. The brake controller can identify a hazard lighting condition and avoid braking the towed vehicle during the hazard lighting condition, and can also distinguish when braking during signaling a turn, using the turn signals of the towing vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180371720
    Abstract: A low cost plow lift and down pressure system comprising a lift frame having a lift end and a mount end for securing to a plow vehicle. A push frame is pivotably coupled between a plow and the lift frame. A lever beam articulates with a lift end of the lift frame between a rear end and a forward end of the lever beam. The lever beam is able to perform a first function from the forward end and a second function from the rear end. An actuator, typically in the form of a hydraulic cylinder, is pivotably coupled at a forward end of the lever beam and an opposed end of the actuator is pivotably coupled to the lift frame. Activation of the actuator results in activating at least two functions of the system.
