  • Patent number: 5995290
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a replacement heads-up display system for a vehicle flat-screen display system. The flat-screen display system including flat-screen display electronics which is connectable to a flat-screen display input connector for providing flat-screen display input signals therethrough. The flat-screen display electronics is sized and configured to be received by a flat-screen display bay formed in a vehicle control panel. The flat-screen display is attachable to a flat-screen display bezel which is attachable to the vehicle control panel. The replacement heads-up display system is provided with heads-up display electronics which is configured to mechanically and electrically interface with the flat-screen input connector. The heads-up display electronics is formed to receive and transmute the flat-screen input signals to heads-up display signals. The heads-up display electronics is sized and configured to be received by the flat-screen display bay.

  • Patent number: 5577429
    Abstract: An elongated cutting table has a guide bar assembly pivotally connected thereto which is rotatable to change the cutting angle. The pivoting arrangement acts to retain a fixed point adjacent the rearward side of the table on the cutting path defined by the guide bar assembly at all times, while retaining a forward edge of the table in proximity to a safety shield disposed on the guide bar assembly forwardly of the forward edge. The cutting table is particularly adapted for use in sawing long, thin work such as siding.

  • Patent number: 5498161
    Abstract: An anti-G suit simulation system and especially pertains to an arrangement or system for simulating realistic acceleration conditions which are normally encountered during strenuous maneuvers carried out by pilots operating high-performance aircraft, such as jet fighter aircraft. More particularly, there is disclosed an anti-G simulation system wherein aircraft simulator pilots are exposed to physical conditions which rapidly and faithfully simulate and compensate for changes in high-intensity accelerations and gravitational effects or so-called G-conditions which are ordinarily encountered by the pilots of high-performance aircraft during the execution of aircraft maneuvers.

  • Patent number: 5090283
    Abstract: In a saw table of the type including an elevated track in which the sole plate of a circular saw is engageable, improvements include the provisions of a cross-cut fence which is rotatable about its axis to be movable to a stored, non-obstructing position; the provision of an adjustable miter fence; the provision of a telescopically adjustable track stop to increase the effective cutting length on the table, and the provision of an improved blade guard retractor.

  • Patent number: 4909111
    Abstract: A saw table suitable for use with a portable circular saw comprises a bed, and upstanding therefrom adjacent the rear end a pair of walls meeting at an apex including an angle of 90.degree. pointing towards the forward end, forming a miter fence. A pair of axially aligned transversely spaced rails are supported about the bed for engagement of the soleplate of the circular saw for movement along channels provided in the rails. The table is intended for use by pulling the saw through a workpiece to be cut, and the saw is normally parked rearwardly of the miter fence. Supplementary tables to overlay the bed are provided for cross-cutting, and bevelling.
