| 20110267624 | SENSOR SYSTEM IN A MOTOR VEHICLE - A sensor system is described for detecting wetting of a window includes a photodetector having multiple light-sensitive elements and a light source for emitting light to a detection region of the window in such a way that a portion of the light is reflected at the window, and another portion of the light passes through the window. The light source and the light-sensitive element are situated in such a way that a portion of the light from the light source which passes through the window is reflected at the wetting and strikes a portion of the light-sensitive elements. The light source includes a lighting element which is set up to irradiate into a transparent body. The transparent body has a surface which has defined unevennesses for the diffuse radiation of the irradiated light. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20090235857 | Onboard Boat Lift Structure And Method - An onboard lift for a pontoon boat has four legs pivotally attached underneath a platform and extending between the outer pontoons. Each leg terminates in a slide foot. The pivot pin for each leg is canted, such as at 13° relative to horizontal. In a stowed position, the legs and slide feet extend forward in the direction of travel and tight to the platform. When used to lift the boat, actuation of the legs pushes the slide feet outward due to the cant of the pivot axis, such that the slide feet are positioned underneath the outer pontoons when the boat is fully raised. The control allows separate powering of the front legs from the rear legs, and further has a display so the user can see the amount of extension of each set of legs. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20110232559 | Boat Lift Attachment With Side Mount Actuators - An onboard lift for lifting a boat such as a pontoon boat includes legs that have one end pivotally attached to a bottom substantially horizontal surface of a boat deck. The legs are typically continuous substantially imperforate tubes throughout essentially the entire length. The lower ends of the legs carry support feet or pads. One end of an actuator attaches to an outer side of one of the tubular legs and another end of the actuator is attached to a bottom substantially horizontal bottom surface of the boat deck. The actuators are manipulated to pivot each of the legs between a retracted or stowed position where the legs are substantially parallel to the bottom substantially horizontal surface of the boat deck and a working or lifting position where a pad or foot engages the bottom of the body of water and as the legs are further pivoted downwardly, the boat is lifted upward and out of the water. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20110012719 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING THREATS USING MULTIPLE SENSORS IN A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - A system of imaging and non-imaging sensors are used in combination with a graphical user interface (GUI) system on a vehicle to detect items of interest. In particular, a GUI has been developed that seamlessly integrates high magnification, Narrow Field of View (NFOV) imaging sensors and Wide Field of View (WFOV) imaging sensors. The GUI is capable of displaying both WFOV and NFOV images, gimbal controls, and allow NFOV sensor to be pointed to any location within the wide field of view efficiently by a single touch of a touch screen display. The overall goal is to allow an operator to select which imagery from multiple WFOV sensors to display in order to prescreen regions of interest that require further investigation using sensors with more magnification. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100164631 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEM HAVING COMMON MODE VOLTAGE RANGE ENHANCEMENT - An electronic system generates at least one floating supply voltage, wherein during operation of the circuit the floating supply voltage tracks a common mode voltage of first and second differential input signals. By tracking the common mode voltage, in at least one embodiment, the floating supply voltage adjusts as the common mode voltage changes. Thus, the floating supply voltages can be based upon the peak-to-peak values of the first and second output signals without factoring in the common mode voltage. In at least one embodiment, the electronic system provides the floating supply voltages to an amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the first and second differential input signals and generates differential output signals. A differential sampling circuit samples the differential output signals to cancel the common mode voltage from the differential output signals. In at least one embodiment, an analog-to-digital converter converts the sampled differential output signals into a digital output signal. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20080219865 | COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY HAVING VIBRATION ATTENUATING STRUCTURE - A compressor may include a shell, a compression mechanism, a motor, a base member, and a mounting foot. The compression mechanism may be disposed within the shell and the motor may be drivingly engaged with the compression mechanism. The base member may be coupled to the shell and a mounting foot may be fixed to the base member. The mounting foot may include a mounting aperture extending therethrough and a slot intersecting said aperture that attenuates vibrations within an operating frequency range of the compressor. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090269192 | SUPPORT MEMBER FOR OPTIMIZING DYNAMIC LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND ATTENUATING VIBRATION - A support member for a compressor having a shell may include a hub receiving a load from the compressor, at least three spokes radially extending from the hub, and at least three attachment locations attaching the at least three spokes to the shell. The support member may further include at least one connecting portion extending between at least two of the at least three spokes to transmit a load between the at least two spokes, whereby the at least one connecting portion is spaced apart and separated from the shell. | 10-29-2009 |
