  • Patent number: 9199588
    Abstract: A lockout circuit which limits the field voltage in an alternator while the vehicle starter is activated. The lockout circuit may be configured to limit the field voltage while the charging circuit voltage is below a threshold value. A timer circuit may advantageously be employed with the lockout circuit. A temperature compensating function may also be employed to change the threshold value in response to temperature changes. The disclosed circuit is particularly advantageous when employed in cold weather conditions. A method of starting the engine of a vehicle is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140222553
    Abstract: Dynamic website Campaign builder software for enabling merchandising via the Internet. The Campaign builder software has an application programming interface for display on programming computing devices with display screens to permit building a Campaign. Plural Campaign templates are retained in electronic memory, and an insertion mechanism, such as a Destination Script or an iFrame, permits insertion of assets into the Campaign template to create Campaigns. A saving mechanism permits selective saving of Campaigns, and a publishing mechanism permits selective publication of Campaigns, including with fixed width and responsive design templates. A recipient user interface is operative on recipient computing devices with display screens to permit viewing and usage of published Campaigns. Campaigns are saved to content delivery network (CDN) Media Cloud Server storage for rapid CDN publishing.

  • Patent number: 8408570
    Abstract: A vehicle side fairing having a first fairing panel fixedly secured to the underside of a trailer box, and a second fairing panel slidable mounted to plural cylindrical bars mounted on the underside of the trailer box in a fore and aft orientation. The second fairing panel is secured to the wheel set with a mechanical fastener that selectively joins and releases the second fairing panel and the wheel set.
