Filed:

Jul 20, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/505834

Inventors:

Michael John Pollock - Boswell PA, US
Brian S. Rose - Windber PA, US
Greg E. Holt - Markleton PA, US

Assignee:

Concurrent Technologies Corporation - Johnstown PA

International Classification:

B60D 1/46

US Classification:

2804793, 2804901

Abstract:

The adjustable trailer hitch assembly of the present invention is designed for attachment to the head of most commercially available trailers. The adjustable trailer hitch assembly includes a first weldment member pivotally attachable to a head of a trailer, and a second weldment member operably connected to the first weldment member for lateral movement between extended and locked positions. Collapsible extension arms operably connect the first and second weldment members providing movement between the extended and locked positions. The collapsible extension arms are positionable between a first collapsed position with the first and second weldment members adjacent one another defining the locked position, and a second extended position with the first and second weldment members separated from one another defining the extended position. A vehicle connection element is operably connected to the second member, with the vehicle connection element moveable along a vertical length of the second member for connection to a tow vehicle.

International Classification:

B60S 9/02

US Classification:

254418

Abstract:

The dual mode jack foot of the present invention is designed for attachment to the base of most commercially available trailer jacks. The inventive jack foot includes a housing pivotally attached to an end of a trailer jack, and first and second types of trailer support mechanisms attached to the housing approximately 90-degrees apart. The housing is pivotable between a first position wherein the first type of trailer support mechanism is deployed for use, and a second position wherein the second type of trailer support mechanism is deployed for use.

International Classification:

H01M 8/06
H01M 16/00

US Classification:

429 9, 429421

Abstract:

A self contained energy generating system that comprises a galvanic battery and a power distribution system. The energy generating system is used to purify water by using a reverse osmosis device that draws in a source of water and transfers electrolytes to the galvanic battery. Upon contact with the electrolyte, the galvanic battery produces energy by an oxidation-reduction reaction of the cathode and anode and transfers energy to the power distribution system, which in turn provides power to the osmosis device. Additionally, the system includes a hydrogen fuel cell to increase the amount of energy generated and a power storage device for storing excess energy generated. The system also includes a controller which is configured to regulate the overall operation of the system.

Abstract:

The invention relates to a device and method for preparing a structure or object using an additive manufacturing process referred to as sequential cold spray laser sintering. The method includes depositing by cold spraying a plurality of sequential layers of material onto a substrate/build plate or particles of materials onto a compacted powder bed of material and employing an energy source to sinter or melt each of the plurality of sequential layers or powders to produce sequential sintered layers, wherein the number of additional layers is determined based on those needed to produce the final structure.

H01M 8/04

US Classification:

429421, 429448

Abstract:

A system for converting a waste stream to energy including a water purification device that outputs purified water and a waste stream that includes an electrolyte, a wind and electrolytic energy generation device that receives the waste stream from the water purification device and outputs energy based on the electrolyte present in the waste stream and a power distribution system which receives and stores the energy from the wind and electrolytic energy generation device. The water purification device is further connected to the power distribution system and receives energy enabling further operation of the water purification device.
