US Patent:

6426872, Jul 30, 2002

Filed:

Nov 27, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/200805

Inventors:

John Sutton - Hurst TX
Danile Swindler - Austin TX
Brian Groh - Glen Morris, CA
Richard Perley - Oakville, CA
Glen Clifton - Austin TX

Assignee:

Xplore Technologies, Corp. - Mississauga

International Classification:

H05K 710

US Classification:

361686, 361683, 361724, 361727, 439638, 3647081

Abstract:

A pen-based portable computer, or pen-tablet computer, for use with a vehicular docking station that allows for the exchange or replacement of components thereof without the need for returning the computer to the manufacturer. The computer utilizes a main or primary housing for the major components of the computer, and a separate, independent, auxiliary expansion unit having its own housing for mounting a replaceable radio module that is connected to the main computer via a multi-pin connector, whereby the replacement or exchange of the radio module for a different one is easily and readily achieved, and where auxiliary or expansion devices may be connected to the main computer thereby, and where the auxiliary device itself serves as a handle for holding the main computer. Also provided is a vehicular docking station for the combined main computer and auxiliary unit, which vehicular docking station is provided with a multi-pin connector for receiving thereby a multi-pin connector of the auxiliary unit when the computer is connected to the auxiliary unit.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jan 19, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/005667

Inventors:

John S. Sutton - Keller TX

International Classification:

E01C 714

US Classification:

404 75

Abstract:

This invention discloses a high rate, cement slurry mixing system and method which produces a highly dispersed slurry with the lowest possible viscosity in respect to the water cement ratio and the type and amount of chemical dispersant used in the slurry formulation. The slurry so produced is used in soil-cement construction operations and has the advantage of delayed hydration to allow reasonable time for slurry transport, spreading, intermixing with the soil, plus time for grading, shaping and compaction before a significant amount of cement hydration (setting) occurs.

Appl. No.:

7/409162

Inventors:

John S. Sutton - Keller TX

International Classification:

B28C 520

US Classification:

366 2

Abstract:

This invention relates to a method of preparing, transporting, disposing and distributing a load of cement slurry, especially for highway and similar construction work. This method is particularly adapted to be used to reconstruct old road beds, which already have a surface material thereon, but which surface has deteriorated to such an extent that a new road surface is required. This method and apparatus provide a greatly improved safety means to the construction industry, which heretofore has relied on the "dry cement powder" process, which generates a toxic dust cloud that is harmful to humans, animals and vegetation, to obtain the widely used "cement treated base" for construction or renovation of roads, streets and highways.
