US Patent:

41472764, Apr 3, 1979

Filed:

Sep 29, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/837901

Inventors:

William D. Jordan - Woodland Hills CA

Assignee:

Canoga Controls Corporation - Canoga Park CA

International Classification:

B65D 4528

US Classification:

220323

Abstract:

Means for hinging or removably attaching a cover to a chassis comprising a retainer device including a pair of arms spring-urged away from one another. The retainer device is fixed to the chassis with the ends of the arms extending outward into openings in the cover. The arms can be manually pinched to disengage them from the cover openings to thereby permit the cover to be removed from the chassis. Utilization of a pair of retainer devices on the chassis enables one of the devices to be disengaged while the other remains engaged to thus hinge the cover relative to the chassis.

Filed:

Oct 15, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/787413

Inventors:

Uri Kullman - Northridge CA
William H. Jordan - Arcadia CA

Assignee:

Kennedy Company - Monrovia CA

International Classification:

H02P 158

US Classification:

318 99

Abstract:

A servo power amplifier for driving multiple DC motors (10, 12) employs a load equalization circuit (36) which allows reduction of the overall number of circuit components required to drive the motors. The load equalization circuit is coupled in parallel with each of the motor drive circuits (14, 16) across the power source (46, 48) and controls an inductive load (84) which temporarily stores energy that is returned to the power source from the motors. The equalization circuit is pulse width modulated in accordance with a control signal which is derived by sensing the current flowing through the inductive load and using a sensing circuit (44) to determine the difference in the magnitude of the positive and negative voltages supplied by the power source. The equalization control circuit and the motor drive circuits are each T-configured and employ no more than two switching elements for controlling current flow.

International Classification:

G08G 101

US Classification:

340941

Abstract:

A strip material (18) for forming an inductive loop (10) adapted to be applied to the surface of a roadway (12). The strip material (18) consists of and the loop (10) is formed from a ductile, flexible, flattened, extensible conductor (20) and a protective covering (22). A protective underlayment (24) is optional. The conductor (20) may be formed from a compressed, flattened metallic wire braid (28) or from a wire mesh containing 25% to 75% voids. The protective covering (22) may be formed from either combination unvulcanized elastomer precursor base sheet (30) and a vinyl based polymer support film (32), or a covering (26) selected from the group of epoxy, polyester, urethane and polyurethane.
