Abstract: A storage container for a straddle-type motor vehicle is described that comprises a top providing a seating area. A plurality of sides extend from the top and define a storage compartment. The storage compartment is longer than it is wide and oriented longitudinally along the vehicle parallel to the direction of travel. The storage container is open at the rear of the vehicle to provide access to the storage compartment without moving the seating area.

Abstract: An adaptable controller for controlling variable numbers of switches is disclosed. Specifically the controller is useful in an irrigation system having a number of water sprinklers whose operation may be controlled by user-defined programs. The system has a processor unit, an interface unit and a number of add-on units. Switches for actuating electrically-operated devices such as sprinklers are located on the interface unit and the add-on units. The controller allows a user to enter operating parameters relating to the switches in the form of the user-defined programs. The processor is capable of ascertaining the number of switches on the interface unit and the add-on units and limiting the number of switches selected and controlled by the user-defined programs.
