US Patent:

54198232, May 30, 1995

Filed:

Nov 9, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/149442

Inventors:

Anton E. Lazaro - Park Ridge IL
William Yates - Anaheim Hills CA

Assignee:

Hardwood Line Manufacturing Co. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C25D 1720

US Classification:

204201

Abstract:

This invention relates to a process and apparatus for electroplating that has an electrolyte continually circulating through a rotating plating barrel along with its parts to be plated by having a elongated perforated tube that is positioned above the center of a barrel, whereby the barrel is provided with recirculated electrolyte by means of a pump recirculating electrolyte from a plating tank to the elongated perforations while the barrel is rotating, so that the parts are agitated and greater speed and efficiency of the plating process can be achieved.

Appl. No.:

17/712410

Inventors:

William D. Yates - Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

B60R 25/104
B60R 25/30
B60R 25/31
B60R 25/102

Abstract:

A method of, and safety system usable in, responding to an unauthorized possession of a vehicle configured to transport at least one person, including the steps of: obtaining the vehicle with the safety system associated therewith, the safety system configured to at least one of: a) generate at least one form of detectable signal; b) generate an electronic signal; and c) generate at least one image of a person in/on the vehicle; and generating an input to cause the system to generate at least one of: i) the at least one form of detectable signal that can be sensed by persons in the vicinity of the vehicle; ii) the electronic signal; and iii) the at least one image of a person in/on the vehicle. The system is configured so that at least one of the at least one form of detectable signal, the electronic signal, and the at least one image is generated after a time delay following the generation of the input to the safety system.

Inventors:

William D. Yates - Chicago IL, US
Lloyd A. Yates - Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

A41D 15/00
A41D 13/11

Abstract:

A convertible clothing accessory configured to be worn by a user. The convertible clothing accessory includes a barrier, a plurality of strings coupled to the barrier such that the plurality of strings is configured to secure the barrier to the user, and an attachment means coupled to the barrier. The convertible clothing accessory is reconfigurable between a first configuration, where the barrier is adapted to be worn as a mask on a face of the user, and a second configuration, where the attachment means is arranged to removably attach the barrier to an article of clothing worn by the user, such that the barrier is adapted to be worn as a clothing accessory.
