Filed:

Nov 25, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/303414

Inventors:

Gregory S. Beck - Anaheim CA

Assignee:

Cassady Engineering, Inc. - Anaheim CA

International Classification:

B62M 100

US Classification:

280 87041, 280 87042

Abstract:

A wheel board vehicle includes a frame having thereon a centrally mounted planar board on which a rider stands while riding the vehicle. At a front end of the frame a single support arm extends that has an outer end to which a front yoke is pivotably attached. The front yoke carries a front wheel. At a rear end, stationary support arms carry a rear wheel. A manually operated brake member is attached to the frame near the rear wheel adjacent a leg of the rider while the rider is riding the vehicle, and a stationary handle is attached to the frame and oriented generally vertically while the rider rides the vehicle.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A respiration monitor includes a sensing element having a pressure chamber filled with gas. The sensing element is adapted to be placed in contact with a breathing subject, with the pressure in the chamber increasing as the subject inhales and decreasing as the subject exhales. A pressure switch in communication with the pressure chamber opens as the subject exhales and closes as the subject inhales to control the operation of a timing circuit. The timing circuit includes an audio alarm mechanism activated when the switch is not closed within a predetermined threshold period. The chamber has at least one gas port which places the chamber in communication with ambient air pressure, so that within a pressure equalization time interval the pressure within the chamber equalizes to that of ambient air pressure and the switch is opened. This port is sized so that the pressure equalization time interval is longer than the normal cycle of inhalation and exhalation of the subject but shorter than the predetermined threshold period. The size, or number openings, comprising the port is sufficiently restrictive so that changes in pressure within the gas chamber are detected, causing the switch to operate to open or close as required.

US Classification:

180 654

Abstract:

A limousine type vehicle includes a standard electrical system, a coach section with an auxiliary electrical system, and an electric power generation system which has first and second batteries isolated from each other during normal operation of the vehicle's engine. The first battery is electrically connected to the engine to supply electric power for the operation of the engine and the standard electrical system, and the second battery is electrically connected to the auxiliary electrical system to supply electric power for the operation of said auxiliary electrical system. A first alternator is electrically connected to the first battery to recharge said first battery during operation of the engine, and a second alternator is electrically connected to the second battery to recharge said second battery during operation of the engine. These alternators are electrically isolated from each other during normal operation of the engine, and they are mechanically coupled together and to the engine, so that the operation of the engine drives both the first and second alternators simultaneously.

Abstract:

An arbitration device for shared RAM which arbitrates between first and second requests from first and second processors having respectively different first and second clocks and bus widths which may differ from that of shared RAM. A synchronizer synchronizes the first access request to the second clock so as to obtain clock-synchronized access requests, one of the clock-synchronized access requests is delayed by a fractional part of the second clock so as to yield time-offset access requests, and a hold-off circuit grants access to a first-to-arrive time-offset access request and holds off processing of a second-to arrive time-offset access request until processing of the first access request is complete. A shared RAM interface, responsive to access grant signals from the hold off circuit, gives access to the shared RAM in correspondence to the access grant signal. The shared RAM interface includes a strobe generator for generating upper and lower strobe signals for strobing upper and lower parts of the differently-widthed bus onto shared RAM.
