US Patent:

20080017673, Jan 24, 2008

Filed:

Jul 19, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/458671

Inventors:

Michael Conner Copps - Indialantic FL, US

International Classification:

B65D 83/00

US Classification:

22240215

Abstract:

A mechanism to provide a convenient means for releasing the contents of an aerosol can while reducing finger-fatigue and preventing the contents from adhering to the finger tip. This invention is comprised of a base that is easily mounted to the ring of an aerosol can with a lever that is hinged from the base and extends down along the side of the aerosol can. A single hand can grasp the can and depress the lever which will hinge down and push the nozzle and thereby release the contents.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

Abstract:

A system includes a location unit to direct one or more distributions of electrical signals through different conductive pathways of conductive pathways to plural components of an electric system. The location unit receives a modified version of one or more of the electric signals that is modified by passage through one or more of the conductive pathways. The location unit determines a location of an electric fault based on a position where the modified version is measured in its passage through one or more conductive pathways. A coupling unit couples the location unit to the electrical system. A method includes distributing plural electrical signals through different conductive pathways to several components of an electric system, receiving a modified version of one or more electric signals, and determining a location of an electric fault in the electric system based on a position where the modified version is measured in its passage.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

Abstract:

Systems are provided to determine a location of an electrical fault in an electrical system of a vehicle. A test apparatus can include a control unit and a plurality of scan circuits. The control unit is configured to electrically couple the plurality of scan circuits to the electrical system and trigger the plurality of scan circuits to pass electrical signals to the electrical system. Each scan circuit is configured to detect a presence of an electrical fault in the electrical system based on an electrical signal passed. Each scan circuit provides information indicative of a location of the electrical fault in the electrical system, when detected, to the control unit.
