  • Patent number: 9101125
    Abstract: A system to heat objects which are infested with arthropods is disclosed having a structured shelter, composed of two double reflective canopies and a double reflective floor cover. Heaters are placed within the shelter, and a fan is located behind the heater to furnish hot air circulation. Thermocouples are provided to determine the heating end point. The non metallic support structure is installed around the objects to be heated, and the various reflective covers and canopies are installed upon the support structure.

  • Patent number: 7965051
    Abstract: A user selectable optional power tinting system. A typical OPTS includes a user selection interface operable to allow a user to select a tinting option from a plurality of tinting options, a panel selection assembly coupled to the user selection interface and operable to engage a window panel corresponding to an option selected by the user selection interface, an actuator motor operable to engage the panel selection assembly when an option is selected from the user selection interface, and a plurality of differently tinted panels operable to be engaged by the panel selection assembly when an option is selected from the user selection interface, each differently tinted panel corresponding to one of the plurality of tinting options.

  • Patent number: 5676235
    Abstract: A linear pallet stop smoothly decelerates a heavy pallet propelled by a conveyance system in a downstream direction and stops the pallet at a predetermined location. The linear pallet stop comprises a catch arm that is translatable and rotatable between three positions. At the first position, the catch arm first end is in the pallets path to be contacted by the pallet and translated in the downstream direction by the pallet momentum. The downstream translation is resisted by a fluid circuit acting through a cylinder and a slide that is in support contact with the catch arm. A stop surface on the catch arm strikes a fixed surface on the conveyance system at a second position of the catch arm. By retracting the slide with the fluid cylinder when the catch arm is in its second position, the catch arm rotates to a third position whereat its first end is out of the pallets path. The catch arm is guided for translation and location by cam followers that are captured within slots in housings.
