US Patent:

7375627, May 20, 2008

Filed:

Aug 19, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/207237

Inventors:

Fred Johnson - Fullerton CA, US
James Johnson - Oakland CA, US

International Classification:

B60Q 1/26

US Classification:

340468, 340435, 701301

Abstract:

Collision deterrence system including signaling apparatus and method collision having frequency diversity, amplitude diversity, duty cycle diversity, and modal diversity and capable of being perceived by the following vehicle operator as being indicative of a lead vehicle motive state. The apparatus produces distinctive visual and aural signals constituting a characteristic hazard alert, representative of a lead vehicle motive state. The method generates an unambiguous signal representative of a predetermined hazard in the vehicle travel path. A collision deterrence diversity signaling method provides unique visual and audible signals directed toward a following vehicle operator, eliciting a REC avoidance response.

Appl. No.:

13/072626

Inventors:

Fred M. Johnson - Fullerton CA, US

International Classification:

G01N 19/02

US Classification:

73 9

Abstract:

Intrinsically calibrating friction mensuration device has a drive unit with controllable motive member, configured to receive a controllable propulsion force, and to apply tractive force to a test piece on a surface. A force engine couples to the motive member, and applies the controllable propulsion force. The device includes a controller imposing a propulsion control signal actuating the force engine to produce the propulsion force. A force sensor is between the drive unit and the test piece, producing a force signal responsive to a sensed force between the drive unit and the test piece. The drive unit can self-propelled or stationary. A method includes applying an increasing tractive force to a test piece at rest; measuring the tractive force; identifying the maximum tractive force applied at incipient motion; identifying the transition between the resting test piece and incipient motion; determining the SCOF; continue motion and determine the DCOF.

Filed:

Mar 16, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/021256

Inventors:

Fred J. Johnson - Long Beach CA
Richard L. Bell - Glenmoore PA

Assignee:

Container Corporation of America - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B65D 526
B65D 0566

US Classification:

229 33

Abstract:

A carton has a cover in the shape of a truncated pyramid and a tray of like shape. The cover and the tray each have a wall joined along a common fold line. The side walls of the cover are dimensioned to extend beyond the side walls of the tray so that the edges of the side walls of the tray contact the interior faces of corresponding side walls of the cover, when the cover is closed onto the tray.
