Patent number: 11943892Abstract: An electronics shelving assembly and a method of assembling includes an electronics shelving assembly includes vertical support members that can be coupled with a wall of a vehicle. The vertical support members are conductively coupled with an electrical ground. The electronics shelving assembly also includes shelves, each having a horizontal support member and at least one vertical coupling member coupled with each other. Fastener assemblies mechanically and conductively couple the shelves with the vertical support members. Each of the fastener assemblies includes plural conductive plates sandwiched together and extending around a conductive fastener. The conductive fasteners may be coupled with each of the conductive plates and may be secured to the shelves to create a conductive pathway between the shelves and the electrical ground via the conductive plates and at least one of the vertical support members.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Transportation IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Scott Deal, Christopher Mason

Publication number: 20230354477Abstract: A heating device for volatizing materials contained in an impregnated pad has a housing including a chamber to receive an impregnated pad for heating, a battery contained in the housing, and a heater arrangement. The heater arrangement in one mode includes at least two heaters, a temperature sensor, and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to power the first heater based on a first temperature and then to power the second heater after the first temperature reaches a second temperature. In another mode, the heater arrangement has at least one heater, temperature sensor, and controller, wherein the controller is configured to provide battery power to the at least one heater to volatize materials in the impregnated pad. The housing has at least one opening to allow volatized materials from the impregnated pad to escape from the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: James Scott TURNER, Michael Scott DEAL, Terry Lance BEASLEY

Patent number: 10847126Abstract: A motor control system is provided for controlling a speed of a motor system used in a musical instrument. The motor control system includes at least one sensing device attached to the musical instrument, and configured for detecting movement of an object and providing a sensor signal based on the movement of the object. Also included in the motor control system is a control unit having a processor connected to the motor system and the at least one sensing device. The control unit is configured for selectively modulating the speed of the motor system based on the sensor signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Indiana University Research and Technology CorporationInventors: W. Scott Deal, Kevin David Galler, Maher Rizkalla, Paul Salama
