20100261578 | Friction Element Load Sensing in an Automatic Transmission - A load sensor assembly for measuring an amount of torque transmitted through a torque establishing element includes a core mounted on a transmission housing and a load sensor mounted on the core. The load sensor is positioned against a portion of the torque establishing element whereby a portion of the amount of torque transmitted through the torque establishing element travels through the load sensor and is measured. A cable is connected to the load sensor for transmitting a signal representative of the amount of torque to a transmission controller. | 10-14-2010 |
20100262344 | Closed-Loop Torque Phase Control for Shifting Automatic Transmission Gear Ratios Based on Friction Element Load Sensing - A closed loop shift control apparatus and method based on friction element load controls a torque transfer phase when shifting from a low gear configuration to a high gear configuration for an automatic transmission system. When pressure actuated friction elements are selectively engaged and released to establish torque flow paths in the transmission, measurements or estimates of torsional load exerted on the off-going friction element are used to predict the optimal off-going friction element release timing for achieving a consistent shift feel. The ideal timing to release the off-going friction element is uniquely defined when torque load exerted onto the off-going friction element becomes substantially zero. An on-coming clutch engagement process is controlled by a closed loop control based on measurements or estimates of on-coming clutch torque capacity for a constant shift feel under dynamically changing conditions. | 10-14-2010 |

20150360349 | Bonnet Nut Socket - A socket for removing bonnet nuts. The socket includes a body, a first end with a head, a channel disposed longitudinally through the body, and a second end with a pair of aligned apertures. The head comprises a hexagonal shape and an indentation disposed at each of the vertices of the hexagon, thereby allowing the head to engage with bonnet nuts commonly used with various types of diverter valves. The aligned apertures disposed at the second end of the socket allow an elongated object, such as the shaft of a screwdriver, to be inserted therethrough to assist in applying leverage to the removal of the bonnet nut. The present socket allows for the convenient removal of bonnet nuts that are flush or sub-flush with a finished wall. | 12-17-2015 |

20160030363 | Tincture For Infusing Resveratrol And Methods Of Use - Methods and formulations for infusing bioavailable resveratrol tinctures into food, beverage, cosmetic or drug products with minimal effect on the alcohol by volume of the product is provided. A resveratrol tincture includes an amount of trans-resveratrol mixed with a solvent of pure, or majority by weight, ethanol. The tincture is added to various food and beverages to make a bioavailable amount of trans-resveratrol to be absorbed and metabolized by the body providing demonstrated health benefits. | 02-04-2016 |

20130028703 | APPARATUS THAT CONVERTS BETWEEN ADJUSTABLE TRAILER AND TRUCK BED COVER - An apparatus that is changeable between a trailer configuration, in which the apparatus is configured and usable as a trailer, and a truck bed cover configuration, in which the apparatus is configured and usable as a truck bed cover. The apparatus includes a bed having a top surface, a wheel assembly attached to the bed, and a towing assembly coupled with the bed, the towing assembly being configured to couple with a hitch of a vehicle. The bed can include a center deck section and a pair of side deck sections slidably coupled to the center deck section such that the side deck sections can be slid laterally with respect to the center deck section to adjust the width of the apparatus. A method of converting the apparatus from a trailer to a truck bed cover is also included. | 01-31-2013 |

20090096157 | LATERALLY ADJUSTABLE SIDE GUIDE ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH FRICTION SHEET FEEDING MACHINES - A laterally repositionable side guide assembly for use with a friction sheet feeding machine. The side guide assembly includes (i) a support member, (ii) a carriage, (iii) a side guide, and (iv) a worm screw. The support member is configured and arranged for attachment to a friction sheet feeding machine. The carriage is repositionably mounted on the support member for selective lateral repositioning relative to the support member. The side guide is configured and arranged for laterally guiding sheets through a friction sheet feeding machine. The side guide is attached to the carriage for lateral repositioning with the carriage. The worm screw is in threaded communication with the carriage for effecting linear movement of the carriage along the length of the worm screw upon rotation of the worm screw. | 04-16-2009 |
