20110168417REMOVABLE LOADER FOR ALL-TERRAIN AND UTILITY-TERRAIN VEHICLES - Disclosed is multi-use attachment device that is easily attached to and removed from an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or a utility-terrain vehicle (UTV). The device comprises a lift frame including an inner lift frame, an outer lift frame, a first pivotal axis and a second pivotal axis, and is configured to pivot about the first pivotal axis with a first electrical device, and has a second electrical device mounted on the lift frame to pivot the outer lift frame with respect to the inner lift frame. One end of the multi-use attachment is attached to the ATV/UTV, and the other end is attached to an implement such as a loader bucket, a pallet fork, or a plow blade. Some embodiments of the multi-use attachment use tension devices both for pivoting the lift frame about the first pivotal axis and for pivoting the outer lift frame with respect to the inner lift frame about the second pivotal axis.07-14-2011

20100199693System for Increasing the Efficiency of a Conventional Air Conditioning System - A system for increasing the efficiency of a conventional air conditioner includes: an evaporative air cooler having evaporative pads; and a frame that retains the air cooler so as to enclose a condenser of the air conditioner, thereby directing pre-cooled air from the air cooler to the air conditioner. The system includes a tray and a pump that pumps the water in the tray into the evaporative air cooler, and a sensor to refill the tray. The system may be retro-fitted onto existing air conditioners.08-12-2010

20090278511METHOD FOR REDUCING THE REACTIVE POWER REQUIREMENT OF A FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY CLOCKED POWER SUPPLY SIDE CONVERTER UNDER NO LOAD AND WITH LOW MOTOR LOADING - The invention relates to a method for reducing the idle current requirement of a base frequency clocked supply side converter (11-12-2009
20090285002MAINS CONVERTER FOR SWITCHING, WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION, BETWEEN CLOCKED VOLTAGE-REGULATED OPERATION AND FUNDAMENTAL-FREQUENCY UNREGULATED OPERATION, AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING A CONVERTER SUCH AS THIS WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION - A current source inverter is disclosed, comprising: means for operating the inverter in fundamental frequency unregulated operation, means for operating the inverter in clocked voltage regulated operation, means for recording parameters from which conclusions can be drawn at an instantaneous operating point and/or at an instantaneous network condition, means for determining an appropriate operating condition from the recorded parameters and means for uninterrupted switching of the operation of the inverter to the operating condition as determined from the recorded parameters and a method for uninterrupted switching of such a current source inverter.11-19-2009
20100008115METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SETTING A FEEDBACK POWER OF A FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY CLOCKED CONVERTER - A method and an apparatus for setting a feedback power of a converter clocked at a fundamental frequency on the power supply side are disclosed. The converter includes a bridge circuit equipped with controllable semiconductor switches, wherein the semiconductor switches are clocked at the fundamental frequency depending on a desired direction of a power flow through the bridge circuit. Drive signals for the semiconductor switches are derived from the clock pulses at the fundamental frequency and a switch-on delay which depends on a DC link voltage of a DC link connected to the converter. The switch-on delay is determined based on a predetermined characteristic curve that depends on the DC link voltage.01-14-2010
20100008118METHOD FOR OPERATING A CONVERTER AND CORRESPONDING APPARATUS - A method for operating a line-side fundamental-frequency-clocked converter is disclosed. The converters has a bridge circuit with, for example three, upper and, for example three, lower semiconductor switches, which are connected to respective positive and negative terminals of a DC link circuit. Center taps of connected pairs of the upper and lower semiconductor switches are connected to the line voltage phases. Two upper or two lower semiconductor switches are simultaneously activated during fundamental frequency operation for a predetermined time period before or after a natural trigger instant of the semiconductor switches caused by a line voltage angle. An estimated line voltage angle for clocking the semiconductor switches is tracked based on two phase currents measured while the two upper or two lower semiconductor switches are simultaneously active.01-14-2010

20110217137TRAILER FOR CONVENIENTLY LOADING AND TRANSPORTING A FOUR-WHEEL VEHICLE - A trailer is disclosed for conveniently loading and transporting a four wheel vehicle, such as an ATV. An ATV or other four-wheel vehicle can be loaded onto the trailer by being driven onto the trailer without requiring an additional ramp. Furthermore, the trailer is compact and uses less material than standard utility trailers, thereby reducing production cost, storage space, and gross weight. The trailer includes a bi-stable interactive ramp, a support bar enabling the ramp to tilt about the support bar's axis, a rear-wheels support frame for supporting the rear wheels of the ATV when loaded, a trailer wheel assembly, a ramp bar for urging the front-end chassis of the ATV upward as the ATV's rear wheels are guided up the ramp, a front-end chassis support frame for supporting the front-end chassis of the ATV when loaded, and a trailer hitch assembly attachable to a towing vehicle.09-08-2011
