20110315466 | Seatbelt safety release - The Seatbelt Safety Release is an electronic assembly that disengages the seat belt lock following an impact. The Seatbelt Safety Release is installed directly into the seatbelt locking bay, and is equipped to automatically release the belt five seconds after impact. This action is achieved via a transmitting and receiving system, which constitutes the Seatbelt Safety Release device. The transmitter is a small electronic unit featuring a frequency generator, amplifier, internal antenna, and electrical/electronic components with respective circuitry encased within a durable plastic housing. Also enclosed within the plastic housing is a small replaceable battery that powers the unit. The receiver consists of a tuned frequency, receiver circuit, and replaceable battery. When a crash occurs, the transmitter unit generates and transmits a signal which transmission disengages the lock, freeing the motorist. | 12-29-2011 |

20090090434 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE OPERATION OF A STUMP CUTTER - A stump cutter controller and operator presence system includes one or more capacitive sensors in each of the three control levers that control movement of the cutter wheel. A sensor circuit measures changes in the capacitance of the sensors. The controller automatically disengages a drive clutch and applies a brake to the cutter wheel when the controller senses that an operator has left the operating station—which is assumed when the operator has not touched any one of the three control levers of the operator station for a predetermined time. The controller logic is set to allow the clutch to remain engaged during a delay period, of predetermined duration, to permit the operator to move a hand off of one control lever to another control lever. Also, a grace period, of varying duration based on the speed of the cutter wheel, may be provided during which the clutch is reengaged if an operator returns to the controls. | 04-09-2009 |

20110204679 | DOOR SPACER BLOCK DESIGN FOR SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION - A strategically located door spacer block for transferring door beam bend/king away from the occupant seating position is provided. The door spacer block is positioned between the door inner panel and the door outer panel and is aligned with the door beam. The door spacer block of the disclosed invention is placed between door inner panel and the door outer panel with the intention of minimizing effect that the bend/kink in the door beam has on the occupant loading. The door spacer block engages the door beam and transfers the effective position of the kink of the door structure in a side impact away from the occupant seating position, thus freeing up crushable space in the occupant loading zone. The door spacer block of the disclosed invention eliminates or delays the loading of the beam surface to the pelvis bolster material, thus enabling additional free-crush space and allowing for a lower force transfer to the occupant. | 08-25-2011 |
