    摘要: A lighting fixture for vehicles is described herein. The light fixture is configured to produce a variable light output with variable angle of light spread. A light source, such as a series of connected light emitting diodes, encapsulated by optics, are affixed to a light fixture. A series of optics facing the light source may thus be manipulated and moved in a linear fashion towards or away from a light source in order to achieve a particular angle of light spread. The optics are controlled by a controller coupled to the light fixture and may function in an automated method or may respond to manual control. An adjustability mechanism assembly existing within and coupled to the light fixture operates the series of optics in a linear fashion towards or away from a light source. The light fixtures produce a range of light spreads from a focused spot light to a wider flood light.

    摘要: A step chock for stabilizing a vehicle or other object against undesirable movement, such as, during a rescue operation. Embodiments for a step chock includes having two leg portions, one of which angularly rotates with respect to the second with a lever to lock the two leg portions at a specific angle. The step chock is usable in three positions including where the stair stepped top surfaces of the two leg portions are forced wider the vehicle, where the top surfaces of the two leg portions are against the ground and the bottom surfaces are forced under the vehicle, and where the rear surfaces of the two leg portions against the ground and the front surfaces of the two leg portions are forced under e vehicle. Further, the step chock is usable as a fulcrum for a lever and a lever adaptor to lift a vehicle.

    摘要: An autonomous communication and control system for controlling auxiliary equipment associated with a vehicle includes a vehicle mounted controller and output relay module. The controller includes an interface for receiving user input commands relating to control actions to be taken with respect to the auxiliary equipment. The controller is adapted to wirelessly communicate indications of the actions taken with respect to the auxiliary equipment (events) as well as other data relating to the status of the vehicle. The controller interface includes a display for displaying the messages for an occupant of the vehicle. The controller may be adapted to communicate information regarding the operating status of the vehicle for fleet management and maintenance purposes and may also be adapted for monitoring an inventory of removable assets to ensure the vehicle is stocked with necessary equipment for carrying its assigned duties.

    摘要: Embodiments of an apparatus and methods of use thereof are provided. An apparatus for work zone intrusion detection related to a stationary vehicle, whereby the apparatus includes a processor configured to receive radar detection data about an oncoming vehicle and determine when to trigger an alarm sound in accordance with the radar detection data upon determining that the oncoming vehicle is moving in a direction and at an orientation to collide with the stationary vehicle. A method of using an apparatus for detecting and warning against intrusion in a work zone around a stationary vehicle is provided that includes obtaining, from a radar unit, detection data for a moving vehicle or object approaching the stationary vehicle, and determining, using a processor, when to trigger an alarm sound to allow a response time according to the detection data and a warning mode.
