20100060015	PORTABLE GENERATOR HAVING A DETACHABLE PANEL - A portable generator is provided with a remote power source connection, and optionally also provided with remote control and/or monitoring features. The portable generator's control panel is partially or entirely removable from the portable generator. A short pigtail with a weatherproof multi-pin connection connects to the generator's wiring harness. The multi-pin connector on the pigtail allows the panel to be removably connected to the pigtail and the generator to be removably connected to an interconnecting cord. A longer interconnecting cord connects the removable panel to the generator, and transmits the power to the remotely locatable panel, along with transmitting any desired control aspects such as on, off, start, or circuit breaker re-set commands, and/or transmitting any desired monitoring information such as voltage, amperage, gas level, oil level, frequency of the generated power, circuit breakers, or operating time. But preferably the removable panel has all the power outlets supplied by all the electrical power generated by the portable generator.	03-11-2010

20090065719	Electrically controlled pilot operated pressure regulator valve apparatus and method of operation of the same - The apparatus uses an electrical signal controlled valve, for instance, a proportional solenoid controlled valve, controlled by a controller, to control a pilot operated valve for regulating pressure of fluid in a port thereof in connection with a fluid operated system. A pressure sensor in connection with the port is used to monitor the regulated pressure. The regulated pressurized fluid in the port is also used, as required, as a component of the pilot signal. The valves are configured such that when the electrical control signal is absent or the electrically controlled valve is unresponsive thereto, the presence of pressurized fluid at a predetermined supply pressure, will automatically operate the pilot operated valve in cooperation with a biasing element thereof, for delivering pressurized fluid at a minimum or reduced regulated pressure.	03-12-2009
