  • Patent number: 9436661
    Abstract: A system and method for generating an interactive routing diagram for an endless belt is disclosed. The routing diagram illustrates a plurality of components associated with an accessory drive system. The system includes a display, a routing database, and a processor. The routing database stores a routing table associated with the routing diagram. The routing table stores routing information indicating a location of at least one hyperlinked character displayed on the routing diagram. The hyperlinked character is associated with a specific component of the accessory drive system. The processor is in communication with the display and the routing database. The processor executes an instruction for generating an image of the routing diagram on the display. The processor also executes an instruction for generating an image of the hyperlinked character upon the routing diagram, where the hyperlinked character is linked to data associated with the specific component.

  • Patent number: 9349140
    Abstract: A portable electronic device is disclosed that includes a housing with a display; a memory in the housing that stores machine instructions and data, which can include an access code to a restricted database of vehicle components of an identified component manufacturer; a user interface enabling a user to select options; a device for importing a VIN or code containing the VIN; and communications circuitry. The communications circuitry includes signal transmitting and signal receiving capability. The signal receiving capability receives a VIN or code containing the VIN from the device for importing a VIN, and the signal transmitting capability sends the VIN and an access code to a restricted access database to lookup vehicle component information. The signal receiving capability receives the vehicle component information from the restricted access database, and an information processor processes the vehicle component information for presentation on the display.

  • Publication number: 20050269849
    Abstract: A baby couch seat (1) for being positioned on a seat of an adult couch (10) or adult seat (32) and buttressed against a back of the adult couch or seat has a seat base (2), a seat back (3) and border (4) made of softly and thickly cushioned material (11) covered with a covering material (38). The seat base seats a baby (49) high enough to prevent its feet (50) from reaching the seat of the adult couch while resting the baby's legs on a slightly slanted front of the soft, thickly cushioned material. A soft security strap (12) is attachable adjustably to the seat back above the baby's shoulders and extended to the seat base in front of the baby to prevent it from sliding or falling. An activity bar (13) that is adjustable across the front of the baby couch seat positions desired baby toys (14) for ease of the baby's access.
