Patent number: 8928469Abstract: A system that notifies the operator, during refueling, when the fuel tank of a vehicle has been filled to contain a predetermined amount. The predetermined amount may include but is not limited to a full condition, an amount that is calculated to satisfy a specific trip, etc. The system may include one or more fuel sensors that can detect conditions of the fuel delivery system, such as the quantity of fuel residing in the tank. The system further includes a controller and an output device. During a refill event, the controller receives the data from the one or more sensors, processes the data, and causes the output device to notify the operator when the tank is filled with the predetermined amount of fuel. The notification can be audible, such as the horn honking, visual, such as lights flashing, or tactile, such as the vehicle seat vibrates.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignees: PACCAR Inc, Cummins Intellectual Property, Inc.Inventor: Scott Newhouse

Patent number: 7526895Abstract: To flash a hot gas vent pipe, representatively a chimney pipe, extending upwardly through a roof opening, a tubular sleeve having vertically extending spacer members interiorly secured thereto, with upper ends projecting above the upper sleeve end, is concentrically placed around the chimney pipe and anchored to the roof. A rubber boot is then placed around the sleeve and secured to the roof. Finally, a storm collar is downwardly telescoped onto the chimney pipe and rests on the upper end of the sleeve spacer members. Vertical cooling passages are defined between adjacent spacer member pairs, and through their interiors, and have upper exit portions communicating with the storm collar interior.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2004Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Selkirk CorporationInventors: Glen A. Edgar, Rodney L. Carr, Scott A. Newhouse

Patent number: 6543325Abstract: A drive system for driving the workpiece-retaining carriage of a food slicing machine, including a drive pulley rotatably driven by a servomotor in alternating, opposite directions. Opposite ends of a drive belt extend around the drive pulley through a gap between two idle pulleys. The drive belt seats against the idle pulleys and the opposite ends extend in opposite directions on the opposite side of the gap. The upper drive belt end extends over the curved surface of a support panel to gripping engagement of a tensioning pulley and clamp. The lower drive belt end extends over the curved surface of the support panel to gripping engagement of a second tensioning pulley and clamp. The support panel is mounted on a drive member that is, at its opposite end, rotatably mounted to a pivot, and rigidly mounted to the workpiece-retaining carriage.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2001Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: J. E. Grote Company, Inc.Inventors: Scott A. Newhouse, Darren W. Crow, Dale Grillot
