  • Publication number: 20240142371
    Abstract: In one illustrative configuration, an air quality monitoring system may enable wide-scale deployment of multiple air quality monitors with high-confidence and actionable data is provided. Further, the air quality monitoring system may enable identifying a target emission from a plurality of potential sources at a site based on simulating plume models. The simulation of plume models may take into consideration various simulation parameters including wind speed and direction. Further, methods of determining a plume flux of a plume of emissions at a site, and methods of transmitting data from an air quality monitor are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11912545
    Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

  • Patent number: 11383631
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a self-activating stop device at the back of a hauling trailer for a boat. The apparatus is a compact, lightweight and durable U-shaped housing having a retractable stop element pivotably positioned therein. Through-holes in the housing permit the apparatus to be quickly and easily secured to bunkers or other framing at the trailer back end. The U-shaped housing's top surface can be easily aligned with the top surface of the bunk or framing while the stop element is biased in an upright position. When the boat is lifted out of the water and slid onto the bunker or framing, the boat's presence pivots the stop element down into the housing and once the transom of the boat passes over the stop element, the stop element self-activates, pivoting upward acting as a stop against the transom, thereby preventing the boat from sliding back off of the trailer.

  • Patent number: 9771249
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sporting vehicle lift that lifts a sporting vehicle and allows a car to be placed under the lifted vehicle. Sling arms that move vertically on a lift tower are connected to a lift pan with pivot connector to raise and lower the lift pan with respect to the floor and allow said lift pan to pivot. The lift pan rotates towards the tower by either placing the pivot connectors on the lift pan in a position so that the center of gravity causes the lift pan to rotate towards the tower, or by using a tilt arm, that is connected to the lift pan, which engages a pivot pin on the tower to rotate the lift pan as the lift pan is raised.
