Patent number: 9655811Abstract: Disclosed herein is a representative liquid heater that maintains a liquid temperature at a consistent and desirable temperature. The liquid heater includes a housing, a liquid pump, a temperature controller, and a mounting structure. The housing houses a power supply and a heating element that receives power from the power supply. The liquid pump receives power from the power supply and pumps liquid from a liquid container to the heating element, which heats the water. The temperature controller turns on or off the heating element to increase and/or decrease the temperature of the liquid from the liquid container. The mounting structure includes an inlet structure and an outlet structure, both of which are connected to the housing. The inlet structure receives liquid from the liquid container and the outlet structure ejects the liquid from the housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Divine Solutions Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Ann Gallo, William T.

Patent number: 8803693Abstract: Methods and systems in accordance with the present invention provide an alerting alarm system designed to keep drowsy or otherwise inattentive drivers safe while driving. The system comprises an electronic device which comprises an ON/OFF switch, a reset button, a power source; for example a battery housing; a cover, a sound producing member, and a speaker. In some implementations, the device may be permanently affixed within the passenger compartment of a car. In other implementations, the device may be detachably affixed within the passenger compartment of a car. In still further implementations, the device may be free standing, and placed wherever the user desires without being affixed to anything.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Safety First SolutionsInventors: William T.

Patent number: 7434866Abstract: A latch actuator assembly for a convertible top assembly is provided having a bell crank pivotable between a first position and a second position and a lever selectively engageable with the bell crank. The lever includes a first arm portion in selective engagement with a switch. Additionally, a second and third arm portion of the lever is in selective engagement with the bell crank. The bell crank is operable to engage the second and third arm portions of the lever when the bell crank is in the first and second positions, respectively, to bias the first arm portion of the lever out of engagement with the switch. Alternately, the first arm portion of the lever is operable to engage the switch when the bell crank pivots between the first position and the second position. A convertible top assembly and vehicle incorporating the latch actuator assembly of the present invention is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2006Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Wilhelm Karmann GmbHInventors: Reinhard W. Quindt, William T. White

Patent number: 4854914Abstract: A turkey caller for reproducing the sound of a hen turkey, the caller includes a body device and striker member. The body device has a dish-shaped base member with a cover member biased thereto forming a sound chamber. A striker plate is fixed to the cover member to vibrate it with a long, one-piece wood striker. A wedge member can be placed between the base member and cover member to alter the sound reproduced. The striker has a pen-like holding section, an enlarged node and a cylindrical extending section for providing a balanced placement and sizing for achieving a desired turkey sound.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1987Date of Patent: August 8, 1989Inventor: William T.

Patent number: 4680897Abstract: A method for boring well-defined holes in a composite material such as graphite/epoxy. A slurry of silicon carbide powder and water is projected onto a work area of the composite material in which a hole is to be bored with a conventional drill bit. The silicon carbide powder and water slurry allow the drill bit, while experiencing only normal wear, to bore smooth, cylindrical holes in the composite material.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1985Date of Patent: July 21, 1987Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Julia G. Daniels, Frank E. Ledbetter, III, Johnny M. Clemons, Benjamin G. Penn, William T. White

Patent number: 4618215Abstract: A viewing chamber which permits observation of a sample retained therein includes a pair of double window assemblies mounted in opposed openings in the walls thereof so that a light beam can directly enter and exit from the chamber. A flexible mounting arrangement for the outer windows of the window assemblies enables the windows to be brought into proper alignment. An electrical heating arrangement prevents fogging of the outer windows whereas desiccated air in the volume between the outer and inner windows prevents fogging of the latter.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1985Date of Patent: October 21, 1986Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Vernon W. Keller, Robert B. Owen, Bobby R. Elkins, William T. White

Patent number: 4327150Abstract: Plasticized elastomer is securely bonded to a metal surface by interposing between the adhesive-coated metal surface and the elastomer a sheet of material obtained by combining adhesive with a portion of the elastomer that has been treated to remove plasticizers therefrom and heating the assembly in a mold under pressure. The sheet material is made up by dissolving a portion of the plasticized elastomer in an organic solvent, casting the solution, exposing it to a vacuum to remove the solvent and plasticizers, dissolving the de-plasticized material in liquid adhesive and casting and drying the resulting liquid.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1980Date of Patent: April 27, 1982Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: William T.
