20110204152TRACTION JACK - A vehicle traction jack that functions as a traction mat platform, ramp, and vehicle jack to assist a vehicle's tire when a tire is stuck in a rut, hole, or some sort of terrain or weather condition such as sand, gravel, dirt, mud, or snow is disclosed. The traction jack comprises a first plate and second plate, a hinge assembly, and a jack. The first and second plates can extend to a partially-opened or fully-opened position, forming a ramp and traction mat platform. The extended traction jack can be placed in front of or behind a vehicle's tire to provide addition traction. A jack extends from at least one plate of the vehicle traction jack to raise a vehicle for repairs to the vehicle's tire. Easily stored in a vehicle at all times, a single user can use the traction jack to help move any type of vehicle's tire.08-25-2011

20080232146Efficient Power Supplies and Methods for Creating Such - Various embodiments of the present invention provide rectifier controllers, power supplies and methods for operating such. As one example, a rectifier controller circuit is disclosed that includes a transistor, a phase locked loop circuit, a period counter and a combinational logic circuit. One leg of the transistor is electrically coupled to a switch node of a power supply, and is in parallel to a diode of the power supply. The phase locked loop circuit receives a signal representing a voltage at the switch node, and is operable to synchronize to a period of the signal representing the voltage at the switch node. The period counter divides the period of the signal representing the voltage at the switch node into segments. The combinational logic circuit is operable to turn the transistor on an assertion delay period after a first transition of the signal representing the voltage at the switch node, and to turn the transistor off before a second transition of the signal representing the voltage at the switch node based on the period counter.09-25-2008
20100188015METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND MODULATING LED CURRENT - An apparatus to power and dim LEDs is provided. The apparatus generally comprises a boost converter having an output node, a regulator node, a sensing network, and an impedance network. LEDs, which are coupled in series with one another, are coupled between the output node and the impedance network of the boost converter. A zener diode is coupled to the output node and coupled to the sensing network, and a dimming circuit is coupled to the boost converter. The dimming circuit includes a diode coupled to the impedance network, a switch coupled between the diodes and ground (which receives the signal for dimming the plurality of LEDs), and a network coupled to the regulator node and to the node between the second diode and the second switch.07-29-2010

20100050585Harvesting machine and method of harvesting pomegrantes and citrus - A crop harvesting machine configured to separate crop, particularly pomegranates, from a tree by straddling the tree as the machine moves along a row of trees. The machine has an inverted u-shaped main frame that supports a sub-frame that defines a harvesting area configured to receive the canopy of a tree therein. A motor supported by the main frame propels the machine along the row of trees. A pair of picking assemblies supported by the sub-frame each comprise a crop separating mechanism having a plurality of rods configured to engage the tree canopy and separate the crop from the tree, a motion inducing mechanism to impart a short duration, snap-like whipping motion to the rods and a canopy engaging mechanism to move the rods in and out of the canopy. An operator area allows the operator to drive the machine along the row of trees and operate the various mechanisms.03-04-2010
