  • Publication number: 20130069391
    Abstract: Assemblies for selectively providing access to an interior portion of a vehicle having a sidewall are provided. Methods of manufacturing a vehicle that incorporates the assemblies are also provided. The assemblies utilize an access opening formed in a portion of a sidewall of the vehicle to facilitate trimming the interior of the vehicle. Upon completion of trimming the interior of the vehicle, the access opening is closed out (i.e., covered) with an assembly that may be a door, a fixed panel, or combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090083080
    Abstract: A method for facilitating transfer of meeting contracts between parties includes providing a database of records of contracted meetings at hotels that are available for transfer. A search engine is provided for searching the contracted meeting records database according to entered criteria, the search engine operable to identify available contracted meeting records which meet the entered criteria. Access to the search engine is provided via a computer network. Upon execution of a given search including criteria entered by a searching user, the searching user is provided, via the computer network, with contracted meeting records information concerning at least one matching contracted meeting record which meets the entered criteria of the given search, if such a matching contracted meeting record exists.

  • Patent number: 7311569
    Abstract: An easy to use, inexpensive jack plate stop device for insertion into the guide slot of a jack plate to immobilize an outboard motor in raised position is disclosed. An outboard motor is fully raised using the jack plate by way of a hydraulic cylinder; the jack plate stop device is then inserted into the open portion of the guide slot so as to rest on the guide bolt at the bottom of the guide slot. The motor component of the jack plate is lowered slightly in order to fully engage the stop device in the guide slot, thus preventing the motor from dropping further if hydraulic pressure is released. The device may include a handle for ease of insertion and removal from the guide slot. The device may be made of any rigid material having a load-bearing capacity adequate to support the weight of an outboard motor.

  • Publication number: 20070289342
    Abstract: A combination mechanical and electronic lock system for use in cuffs and various other locking applications is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the lock is configured to receive a matching key that transmits a code that disengages the electronic lock from the mechanical lock so that the mechanical lock can be manually opened by the user. When implemented in a handcuff, for example, the mechanical lock includes a single lock mechanism and a double lock mechanism; and at least one electronic lock configured to selectively unlock at least a portion of the mechanical lock upon receipt of the proper digital code from the cuff key. The power needed to operate the electronic lock, preferably a solenoid or other actuator, is received directly or indirectly from the cuff key so that the cuff need not possess a battery.
