Each lateral edge of the protective strip has a plurality of anchoring segments, which resemble teeth, which extend downward and perpendicular to the protective strip. The protective strip has a plurality of perforations therein which form cut-outs which receive fence posts. In operation cut-outs are removed along the perforations and a fence post is received in the cutout. Next the anchoring segments are inserted into the ground. In this position, the protective strip prevents weeds from growing along the bottom edge of the fence line. In this way the aesthetic appearance of a fence line is improved. | 09-04-2014 |

20080216908 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A MULTI-SPEED TRANSMISSION - A hydraulic control circuit for a transmission includes a plurality of solenoids and valves in fluid communication with a plurality of actuators. The actuators are operable to actuate a plurality of torque transmitting devices. Selective activation of the solenoids allows for a pressurized fluid flow to activate at least one of the actuators in order to shift the transmission into a desired gear ratio. | 09-11-2008 |
20080220923 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A DIFFERENTIAL IN A TRANSMISSION - A control system for controlling an axle clutch between two half-axles in a motor vehicle is provided. The control system includes two solenoids and a pressure sensor in communication with a controller and a valve assembly. One of the solenoids provides a flow of fluid to engage the axle clutch. The valve assembly cooperates with another of the solenoids to disengage the axle clutch under certain conditions. | 09-11-2008 |
20080220939 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION IN A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION - The present invention provides a system for shifting or controlling a dual clutch transmission where the transmission may operate in at least a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The system includes a controller and a plurality of solenoids in fluid communication with a valve assembly. Selective activation of the solenoids by the controller engages the valve assembly to provide the first mode and the second mode of operation. | 09-11-2008 |
20110146438 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION IN A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND FOR A DIFFERENTIAL IN A TRANSMISSION - The present invention provides a system for shifting or controlling a dual clutch transmission where the transmission may operate in at least a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The system includes a controller and a plurality of solenoids in fluid communication with a valve assembly. Selective activation of the solenoids by the controller engages the valve assembly to provide the first mode and the second mode of operation. | 06-23-2011 |
