Publication number: 20240133141Abstract: A plowing system is removably mountable onto a vehicle in order to provide the vehicle with lateral plowing capability along a given lateral range of the vehicle. The plowing system includes a mounting assembly, a plowing assembly and corresponding plowing component. The plowing system also has associated first and second actuating assemblies cooperable with one another so as to selectively operate the plowing component between retracted and deployed configurations, and so as to provide the plowing system and associated plowing assembly and corresponding plowing component with an increased plowing resistivity within the lateral range of the vehicle, due to a combined effect of the first and second actuating assemblies. A corresponding vehicle is provided with such a plowing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: TENCO INC.Inventors: Charles LESSARD, Jean-Sebastien BISSONNETTE, Robert SIMARD, Simon CHAMPOUX-BOUCHARD, Jean-Philippe BOURQUE, Yvon ARCHAMBAULT, Mathieu BOUCHARD

Publication number: 20200053627Abstract: There is described a system for sending, via a communication network, data originating from a monitoring of equipment in a network-inaccessible location. The system comprises a first interface device to be operated in a network-inaccessible location and comprising: sensors for monitoring a first equipment; a processor connected to the sensors for generating a data packet from the monitoring; and a local input/output (I/O) device for sending the data packet. The system further comprises a second interface device, to be displaced from the network-inaccessible location to a network-accessible location, comprising a local I/O device for receiving the data packet from the first interface device; and a network-connected I/O device to deliver the data packet via the communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Jacques DELAROCHELLIERE, David BRILLON, Jean-Sebastien BOUCHARD

Patent number: 9985156Abstract: An optical concentration/diffusion apparatus and method is provided that uses a waveguide having a graded index of refraction in a first direction. Light propagating in a second direction different from the first direction follows a curved, path being reflected at multiple intervals by a planar interface of the waveguide. Reflectors are located along the planar interface at a spacing that is selected to limit their interaction with the light propagating in the second direction. Coupling elements are located in optical communication with the reflectors. When used as a concentrator, light is focused by the elements onto the reflectors and redirected in the second direction towards one or more exit apertures. When used as a diffuser, light in the second direction is redirected by the reflectors toward the elements and diffused at multiple exit apertures.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Inventors: Sébastien Bouchard, Simon Thibault

Patent number: 8825281Abstract: There is described a system and method for establishing a performance of at least one of a vehicle and an operator of the vehicle over a given period. In particular, the method comprises: recording measured vehicle parameters at a continuous rate over a given period, the continuous rate being at least as great as the rate of change of the measured vehicle parameters; calculating criteria using, for each criterion, a selection of the measured vehicle parameters; and outputting the criteria, the criteria being representative of a performance of at least one of the operator and the vehicle over the given period.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Inventors: Jacques DeLarochelière, David Brillon, Jean-Sébastien Bouchard

Patent number: 8668404Abstract: A covering unit for use in combination with similar units for covering a surface with a natural random look, the unit having an hexagonal body comprising first, second and third pairs of opposed and parallel sides. Each side has a central point of angular symmetry. The second and third pairs are similar to each other while the first pair is different from the others. The sides of the second and third pairs are provided with at least one split deviation along their length arranged so that each side of the second pair is a rotational image of the sides of the third pair, whereby in use in combination with other covering units: each side is matingly engageable with the sides of an equivalent pair of a neighboring unit; and the unit has a central point of angular symmetry and is matingly engageable with a plurality of neighboring unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Oldcastle Building Products Canada, Inc.Inventors: Sebastien Bouchard, Marc-Andre Lacas
