  • Patent number: 10153581
    Abstract: A system for providing marine shore power to a vessel regardless of the configuration of the shore power source or the configuration of any socket installed on the shore power source is disclosed. A vessel plug, which is intended to be installed on a vessel's shore power cable, has a male adapter component which accepts a plurality of adapters. The plurality of adapter each have a female socket component and a male adapter component. The male plug component of the vessel plug is compatible with and plugs into the female socket component of each of the plurality of adapters. Each of the male adapter components of the plurality of components are each configured differently so as to enable a vessel to connect to a shore power source regardless of the configuration of the shore power source or the configuration of any socket installed on the shore power source.

  • Publication number: 20040174246
    Abstract: A system used to open a vehicle door consisting of a multiple radio frequency transmitter and a similarly coded radio frequency “RF” receiver. Said receiver is capable of generating a momentary RF trigger signal when a valid coded radio frequency signal is received. The system also incorporates a control switch connected to a vehicle transmission shift sensor that will produce an in-park signal when the vehicle's transmission is in park and a controlled on/off switch that will produce an on signal when the switch is in the on position. A control circuit will produce a ready signal when said in-park and on signals are present that is used to enable a door latch release circuit and activate a status indicator. The system will operate a bi-directional electric solenoid to operate a vehicle door latch mechanism in a direction necessary to open a vehicle door when said ready signal and RF trigger signals are present.
