Abstract:

In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for supplying power to a vehicle trailer. A connection device may be used to connect the vehicle trailer to a vehicle power line and to a control line from a vehicle electrical system. The trailer may include a main trailer electrical system and an auxiliary trailer electrical system. The main trailer electrical system requires power only when the vehicle trailer is in motion, and may be coupled to the connection device to receive power from the vehicle power line. A control unit may be coupled to the connection device, and may receive a control signal from the control line. The control unit may be used to switchably couple the auxiliary trailer electrical system to the vehicle power line based on the control signal.

International Classification:

H02B 1/04

US Classification:

361643

Abstract:

An electrical junction box is configured to be attached to a vehicle. The box includes a container that has a front opening and a cavity located behind the front opening. A cover is movably attached to the container, so it can be moved into a closed position covering the front opening. A socket, to which an electrical supply cable can be removably connected, is fixed to the container beside the front opening. Breakers are secured to the container within the cavity. Each breaker has an input terminal and an output terminal. Each input terminal is electrically connected to the supply cable via the socket. Electrical distribution lines connect the breakers' output terminals to components of the vehicle that are outside the cavity.

Appl. No.:

11/601470

Inventors:

Gregory Kinsey - Culver City CA, US
John Jacobs - Brea CA, US

International Classification:

B60L 1/00

US Classification:

307010100

Abstract:

A controller is usable with a tractor that has a power supply and a trailer that has first and second auxiliary devices. The controller is configured to selectively enable and disable each of the auxiliary devices based on a predetermined set of device disabling conditions wherein: When any of the device disabling conditions occurs, then both auxiliary devices are disabled. When none of the device disabling conditions occurs then, when a first device-selecting condition occurs then the first auxiliary device is enabled and the second auxiliary device is disabled. And when a second device-selecting condition occurs then the second auxiliary device is enabled and the first auxiliary device is disabled.

Appl. No.:

8/300233

Inventors:

John F. Jacobs - Salt Lake City UT

Assignee:

Reliable Racing Supply, Inc. - NY

International Classification:

E01F 900

US Classification:

404 11

Abstract:

A fixed or self-redressing delineator pole comprising a lower portion for insertion into a support structure and an upper portion which serves as a marker such as for a slalom gate, a parking lot, a field, or a road. The delineator pole uses an impact absorbing material over a rigid or semi-rigid inner tube to create a cushioned extended surface which absorbs impact. Ski racing, for example, involves full contact between skiers travelling at high rates of speed and the slalom poles resulting in numerous injuries to the skier and damage to the pole. This delineator pole reduces injury to the pole and other objects resulting from objects colliding with the pole.

Abstract:

A method for inducing cell death in neoplastic cells, includes the step of administering a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as a primary chemotherapeutic agent or substantially contemporaneously with chemotherapy, to a patient having multidrug-resistant neoplastic cells, in an amount sufficient to induce cell death in the neoplastic cells: ##STR1## where R. sup. 1 is hydroxyl, C1-4 alkoxyl, C1-4 alkylcarboxyloxymethoxyl, phenyl C1-2 alkylamino group, 2,5-pyrrolidinedione-1-alkoxyl (C1-4), or ##STR2## wherein X. sup. 1 is a chemical bond or C1-2 alkylene, X. sup. 2 is hydrogen or carboxyl forming a 5-membered ring with X. sup. 1 when X. sup. 1 is methylene, X. sup. 3 is hydrogen or C1-2 alkyl, X. sup. 4 is hydrogen or C1-2 alkyl, or X. sup. 3 and X. sup.

Inventors:

John H. Jacobs - Altadena CA

Bell & Howell Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G01D 1514

US Classification:

346 11

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for recording varying electric signals with a plurality of electrically actuable light gates illuminate the light gates with light of a first intensity above zero light intensity and provide a light-sensitive recording medium sensitive to illumination levels at light intensities including the mentioned first light intensity and starting at a second light intensity below such first intensity and above zero light intensity. These methods and apparatus precondition the light gates to subsequent opening in response to varying electric signals by electrically biasing the light gates to an initially open condition wherein the gates pass light from the mentioned illumination at an intensity below the second light intensity. The recording medium is thus exposed to light passed by the preconditioned gates at below the second intensity. Thereafter, the preconditioned light gates are selectively energized and further opened in response to varying electric signals to pass light at at least the second light intensity for a recording of such electric signals on the recording medium.
