摘要:
A system repositions and properly aligns vehicles and other loads on the platform of a roll-back truck during the loading process. Movement devices strategically positioned on the roll-back platform engage the forward and/or rear tires of the vehicle being loaded and move the forward and/or rear end of the vehicle transversely relative to the longitudinal centerline of the platform. Once the position has been adjusted, the vehicle can be pulled forward on the platform to continue the loading process. Transverse adjusted movement of the forward and/or rear end of the vehicle can be made throughout the loading process until the vehicle is fully loaded and properly positioned on the platform of the roll-back truck.

摘要:
A flame retardant coating composition comprising poly(dopamine) and either tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) or gaseous ammonia, as well as an article comprising a substrate and the flame retardant coating composition, is provided. In various embodiments, the poly(dopamine) is substantially water insoluble. The coating composition can further comprise at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of melamine, an anionic clay, a phosphorus-containing compound, an amine-containing compound, aluminosilicates, silicon oxides, and combinations thereof. Also provided are methods for forming the flame retardant coating composition and methods for increasing flame retardant properties of a substrate.

A personal grooming apparatus includes a high definition monitor, an overhead bracket providing a canopy above the monitor, one or more cameras supported on the overhead bracket for viewing a user's face, as well as the sides and back of the user's head, and possibly other areas of the user's body. An arrangement of lights supported on the bracket illuminate the various camera views. Controls are provided for independent control of the several lights (e.g., ON/OFF, dimming) the cameras (e.g., camera activation, zoom function, camera view selection), and the monitor. A docking station accommodates a handheld unit. The docking station is provided with a wireless receiver port for communicating with the handheld unit. The handheld unit includes a camera and LED lighting for close-up views that are displayed on the monitor. The handheld unit is adapted for receiving various attachment tools and devices, such as, but not limited to, a nose hair trimmer, a beard and moustache trimmer, tweezers, and a nail buffer. A carry case holds the handheld unit and includes a mini monitor, a docking station with a docking port and a control pad. Power is supplied by a removable A/C power cord and an internal rechargeable battery.

A steering device includes a main body that attaches to a tow rope, inline between a towing vessel and a personal watercraft. The main body, which is positioned just forward of the personal watercraft, accommodates an extendable rudder that moves between a normally retracted position within the main body, and a lowered, operable position to exert a steering force on the main body and the personal watercraft. An elongate tiller extends between the rudder and a handle that is optimally positioned for grasping by the rider of the personal watercraft. In accordance with several embodiments, movement of the rudder from the relaxed, retracted position to the lowered, operable position is achieved by exerting a particular directional force on the handle (e.g., pulling, pushing forward, or lifting). Moving the handle to the left or the right achieves the desired steering action. Upon release of the handle by the rider, the rudder returns to the normally retracted position, thereby removing the steering influence.

A method for fine tuning a microstrip antenna which has eight tuning tabs for tuning the antenna frequency of the microstrip antenna. The antenna is designed to operate around 430 MHz with a tuning step size of approximately 1.5 MHz. The method utilizes the eight tuning tabs to tune the antenna from a center frequency of 427.2 MHz when all eight tuning tabs are connected to the cooper radiating or antenna element of the antenna incrementally to a center frequency of 439.3768 MHz when the eight tuning tabs are disconnected from the cooper antenna element.
摘要:
An improved method for making an integrated circuit that includes forming a conductive layer on a substrate, then forming a dielectric layer comprising a polymer on the conductive layer. After forming the dielectric layer, a layer of photoresist is patterned to define a region to be etched. An etched region is then formed through the dielectric layer while simultaneously removing the layer of photoresist.
