US Patent:

6354343, Mar 12, 2002
Filed:

Jan 11, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/481088
Inventors:

Rudolph A. Strnad - Indian Wells CA
Spencer P. Magleby - Provo UT
John F. Marshall - Provo UT
W. Douglas Stout - Provo UT
Carl D. Sorensen - Provo UT
Ryan W. Warnick - Beaverton OR
Lee Baroldy - Provo UT

David S. Bent - Mukileto WA
Adam Gaglione - Provo UT
Robert Cvetko - Simi Valley CA
Aaron T. Schellenberg - Canton MI
Assignee:

R. Strnad Enterprises, LLC - Indian Wells CA
International Classification:

B65B 130
US Classification:

141 94, 141 98
Abstract:

An automatic fueling system includes a pump having a telescoping arm capable of placement in three-dimensional space, a flexibly mounted nozzle on the end of the arm and a docking cone to mate with the fuel port on a vehicle. A camera provides a view of the side of the vehicle on a monitor with guides visible to the operator of the vehicle to assist in locating the vehicle within range of the pump. A light and a camera located adjacent to the nozzle are used to recognize retro-reflective light from an annular target about the intake port. Multiple approximations of the distance and location of the intake port are made with the nozzle moving closer to mating with the intake port. A data link is provided through the mated nozzle with a keypad accessible by the vehicle operator. The vehicle includes a control actuator which selectively couples actuator cables associated with the fuel door and the fuel inlet valve with the emergency brake cable to engage the emergency brake, open the fuel door and open the inlet valve. A vacuum system on an evaporation canister insures that vapor is drawn from the fuel tank as it is being displaced by incoming fuel.

Abstract:

A tracked vehicle ( ), or a kit ( ) for converting a standard bicycle ( ) into a tracked cycle, includes a track assembly ( ) with a bogie assembly ( ) for riding on snow, mud, sand, etc. The track assembly includes a continuous track ( ) movably disposed about a drive wheel ( ) coupled to a frame ( ) of the vehicle or bike, and a bogie wheel ( ) disposed rearward of the drive wheel. The bogie assembly includes a compliant and resilient arm ( ) coupling the bogie wheel to the frame of the vehicle or bike. The arm exerts a force against the bogie wheel, which forces the track towards the riding surface.

Robert H. Todd - Provo UT
Larry L. Howell - Orem UT
Spencer P. Magleby - Provo UT
Aaron L. Herring - Tucson AZ
Assignee:

Brigham Young University - Provo UT
International Classification:

B21D 5328
US Classification:

2989333, 29893, 29434, 192105 CD, 192107 T, 192108
Abstract:

A compliant mechanism and method of manufacturing the same includes a plurality of layers formed from stamping a plurality of layers from a layer of thinner material and stacking the layers together. Compliant mechanisms can include clutches, switches, derailleurs, brakes and other mechanisms. The compliant mechanism includes rigid and flexible sections of integral construction. The rigid and flexible sections provide an integral device capable of achieving motion by elastic deformation. The flexible section is deflectable, and stores energy in the form of strain energy when deflected.

US Patent:

7060012, Jun 13, 2006
Filed:

Apr 1, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/817019
Inventors:

Larry L. Howell - Orem UT, US
Spencer P. Magleby - Provo UT, US
Assignee:

Brigham Young University - Provo UT
International Classification:

A63B 21/02
US Classification:

482121
Abstract:

A resistance module for an exercise machine for providing a substantially constant force through a range of motion includes at least one cantilever spring and at least one rigid member movable with respect to one another along a path of travel. The rigid member causes the cantilever spring to deflect and produce a resistance force. The cantilever spring has an anchored end and a deflection end. The rigid member engages the deflection end of the cantilever spring, and constrains the deflection end to a predetermined path of deflection as the cantilever spring and the rigid member move with respect to one another. The rigid member can be a non-planer contact surface along which the deflection end tracks, or a pivot link. The module can include means for operatively coupling at least one of the cantilever spring and the at least one rigid member to an exercise machine.
