US Patent:

51486407, Sep 22, 1992

Filed:

Jun 20, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/718369

Inventors:

Robert M. Reilly - Miami Beach FL

International Classification:

E04B 112

US Classification:

52 74

Abstract:

A manageable awning system consisting of a headbar adapted for mounting on a building or the like for support and connected by rafters to a frontbar adapted for mounting on posts and a pliable awning banner with a conformable semi-rigid plastic strip attached to its rearward and forward edges for easy insertion into and removal from spanwise channels in the headbar and the drawbar which is mounted on the frontbar through connecting clips drawn down by threaded nuts and bolts to pull the banner tight and smooth; the semi-rigid plastic edge strips of the banner and the fabric flaps attaching it to the rafters are formed to break away under heavy wind loads.

Appl. No.:

8/300341

Inventors:

Robert J. Reilly - Janesville WI

Assignee:

SSI Technologies, Inc. - Janesville WI

International Classification:

G06F 1520

US Classification:

364487

Abstract:

The invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting maxima and minima of an array of data points defining a periodic, symmetrical waveform. The method comprises comparing the "y" values of two marker points (selected from the array of data points), which marker points are spaced apart along the waveform by a predetermined number of data points. If the "y" values of the two marker points are not substantially the same, both marker points are incremented in the "x" direction, and their "y" values are tested again. If the "y" values are substantially the same, within a predetermined tolerance value t, a positive or negative peak has been found. Optionally, the points between the marker points are then sorted to find the tip of the peak.

Inventors:

Robert M. Reilly - Miami FL

International Classification:

E04H 1544

US Classification:

135127

Abstract:

A modular tent structure capable of withstanding high winds by minimizing the aerodynamic forces on the structure by use of a sectional design which acts through a series of negatively cambered air foils. A covering fabric is suspended between structural supports of the tent to provide a variety of patterns. Each pattern is subsequently based on a four, six, or eight-sided geodetic support member arrangement raised to common apical coupling points.

5/946764

Inventors:

Robert M. Reilly - Miami Beach FL

International Classification:

E04B 112

US Classification:

52222

Abstract:

A pliable awning system consisting of a head bar means adapted to be mounted on a building and the like for support and a front bar means adapted to be mounted on posts and the like with a pliable awning extending between the building and the posts; the awning having securing means fastened to both ends for securing said awning to said head bar means and said front bar means with adjustable means mounted on the front bar means for rendering the pliable awning taut.
