Electronic Trailer Brake Controller

US Patent:
5620236, Apr 15, 1997
Filed:
Sep 27, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/313703
Inventors:
Michael C. McGrath - Farmington Hills MI
Wayne M. Groleau - Novi MI
Michael A. Hedding - Canton MI
Brian J. Stockford - Ann Arbor MI
David Sullivan - Brighton MI
Assignee:
Hayes Wheels International, Inc. - Romulus MI
International Classification:
B60T 1300
US Classification:
303 7
Abstract:
An electronic brake controller for actuating electric wheel brakes of a towed vehicle in response to actuation of the brakes of an associated towing vehicle. The brake controller includes a sensor for producing a brake control signal which is representative of the desired braking of the towed vehicle. The controller also includes a microprocessor for responsive to the brake control signal for generating an output signal for actuating the electric wheel brakes of the towed vehicle.

X-Ray Imaging System For Determining Area Density Of Low Density Samples

US Patent:
6167113, Dec 26, 2000
Filed:
May 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/310278
Inventors:
Charles J. Armentrout - Ann Arbor MI
Thomas Basinger - Ypsilanti MI
James H. Beyer - Ann Arbor MI
Brian D. Colesa - Chelsea MI
Paul Olsztyn - Ann Arbor MI
Karen G. Smith - Brighton MI
Carl Strandberg - Troy MI
David Sullivan - Brighton MI
Assignee:
Pilot Industries, Inc. - Dexter MI
International Classification:
G01B 1502
US Classification:
378 54
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for measuring the area density of a low density material sample. The system includes an x-ray emitter which emits x-rays in the range of 3 kilovolts to 20 kilovolts and the x-rays pass through the sample. An imaging device converts the x-rays which pass through the sample to visible light to produce a visible image corresponding to the sample and in which the visible image has an intensity which varies as a function of the area density across the sample. A camera produces an output signal representative of the intensity of the visible image across the sample while a computer processor processes the signal from the camera after digitization to produce an analysis of the area density of the sample.

Bacteria Colony Counter And Classifier

US Patent:
6002789, Dec 14, 1999
Filed:
May 22, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/083723
Inventors:
Paul C. Olsztyn - Ann Arbor MI
James H. Beyer - Ann Arbor MI
David Sullivan - Brighton MI
Assignee:
Pilot Industries, Inc. - Dexter MI
International Classification:
G06K 900
US Classification:
382133
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a colony counter and classifier for bacterial specimens on a petri dish. The device includes a housing having a tray which accepts the petri dish containing the bacteria colonies. A line scan camera is mounted within the housing above the tray. Upon actuation, a linear motor transports the tray across the scanning line of vision for the line scan camera. Simultaneously, a fiber optic illumination system illuminates the petri dish from its side opposite the camera. As the tray is transported by the linear motor, the line scan camera successively obtains an optical image of the petri dish containing the bacteria colonies. Each line scan has a width equal to one pixel and the resulting optical images from the line scan camera are combined together to form an overall optical image of high resolution. That image is stored utilizing a digital computer. The computer then analyzes the stored optical image to both identify and count the bacteria colonies.
