  • 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: 11582962
    Abstract: A fishing rod has a hollow interior in which is secured a semi-rigid line. The semi-rigid line is secured to a durable rubber band which in turn is secured to an interior base of the fishing rod, adjacent the handle. The opposite end of the semi-rigid line comprises a braided portion having a plastic anchor. A strike on the fishing line is thus transmitted through the fishing rod directly to the handle thereof.

  • Patent number: 6767372
    Abstract: An aviation gasoline (Avgas) fuel composition possessing a high motor octane number and which contains reduced amounts of tetraethyl lead is disclosed. The Avegas composition preferably comprises about 20 to about 80 vol % iso-octane, about 5 to about 18 vol % toluene, about 1 to about 20 vol % C4 to C5 paraffins, about 0 to about 1 ml/gallon tetraethyl lead (TEL) and the balance light alkylate. The Avgas composition may be economically produced utilizing spare methyl tertiary butyl ether plant capacity to produce iso-octane as one component of the composition.

  • Publication number: 20030219059
    Abstract: A system employing thermographic techniques is provided for inspecting materials and detecting defects therein such as void, inclusions, interlaminar disbonds, or porosity. The system utilizes a composite material and a source of pulsed current which is delivered to conductive elements within the composite material which, in turn, heats the material being inspected allowing thermographic techniques to be employed to measure the temperature distributions related to the application of the heat source and indicative of the defects of the material being measured.

  • Patent number: 6383236
    Abstract: Provided is an unleaded gasoline fuel which is substantially free of oxygenates, i.e., the fuel contains less than 1.0 weight percent oxygen based on the total weight of the fuel composition, and most preferably contains no oxygen containing compounds. The gasoline fuel of the present invention also has a Reid vapor pressure of less than 7.5 psi, a sulfur content of less than 30 ppmw, and more preferably less than 20 ppmw sulfur, and an aromatic hydrocarbon content greater than 30 volume percent and/or a 50% D-86 Distillation Point greater than 220° F. and/or a 90% D-86 Distillation Point greater than 330° F. The gasoline fuel preferably also has an olefin content of no greater than 8 volume percent, and more preferably 5 volume percent or less. It has been found that such a gasoline fuel offers a substantially oxygenate free gasoline which avoids the environmental impact of oxygenates, yet when combusted in an internal combustion automobile provides good performance and good emissions.

  • Patent number: 5376624
    Abstract: A Josephson break junction device suitable for highly sensitive electronic detecting systems. A superconductor film such as YBa.sub.2 Al.sub.3 O.sub.7 is deposited on a substrate such as a single-crystal MgO. The film is fractured across a narrow strip by at least one indentation in the substrate juxtaposed from the strip to form a break junction. A transducer is affixed to the substrate for applying a bending movement to the substrate to regulate the distance across the gap formed at the fracture to produce a Josephson turned junction effect. Alternatively, or in addition to the transducer, a bridge of a nobel metal is applied across the gap to produce a weak-link junction.

The film is fractured across a narrow strip by at least one indentation in the substrate juxtaposed from the strip to form a break junction. A transducer is affixed to the substrate for applying a bending movement to the substrate to regulate the distance across the gap formed at the fracture to produce a Josephson turned junction effect.

  • Patent number: H2182
    Abstract: Provided is an unleaded gasoline fuel which is substantially free of oxygenates, and most preferably contains substantially zero oxygenates. The gasoline fuel also has a Reid vapor pressure less then 7.5 psi, a sulfur content less than 30 ppmw, an aromatic hydrocarbon content between 25 and 30 volume percent, and/or a 50% D-86 Distillation Temperature between 210 and 220° F., and/or a 90% D-86 Distillation Temperature between 300 and 330° F., and the fuel composition fails the California Predictive Model requirements for emissions. Preferably, the olefin content of the fuel is also 8 volume percent or less. Such a gasoline fuel offers a substantially oxygenate free gasoline which avoids the environmental impact of oxygenates, yet when combusted in an internal combustion automobile provides good performance and good emissions, despite failing the California Predictive Model. The gasoline fuel in particular can provide surprisingly lower NOx emissions than that predicted by the California Predictive Model.
