Abstract: An obstacle detection system for vehicular environments including a monitoring sensor system and a mounting system is disclosed. An installer can make aiming adjustments, in the factory or field, to account for tolerance stack-up. The system includes a housing for mounting the monitoring sensor system to minimize cross-talk and interference between transmitter and receiver sections, to limit sensor system movement, and to enable gross and fine aiming adjustments. In one embodiment, a circuit board is disposed within a cradle assembly which, in turn, is mounted in or integral to the housing to position the obstacle detection sensor as necessary. The cradle in one embodiment is an enclosure for the circuit board. The sensor housing is mounted to the interior vehicle trim, door panel, and/or door sheet metal and ensures consistent mounting regardless of interior trim or factory installation variations. Integral adjustment mechanisms are incorporated for adjusting the orientation of the sensor system. The circuit board may be comprised of plural subsections interconnected by flexible circuit board, enabling accurate alignment of each subsection with respect to the environment to be monitored.

Abstract: Communication between application programs is facilitated by a virtual device driver to which the application programs make function calls. The device driver registers each application in response to a request for application-to-application communication. During registration, the device driver determines the addressing mode of the application being registered. An address mapping operation is performed and the results of the mapping operation along with other information about the application are stored in a data store administered by the kernel of the device driver. The device driver allows two applications of dissimilar addressing mode to communicate with one another without a priori knowledge of the communicating partner's addressing mode. The virtual device driver handles communication transparently for the communicating applications, allowing the applications to send and receive data.

Abstract: An access and support apparatus for loading and unloading gondola railroad cars using a crane-type crawler, which system includes a trailer-mounted ramp for disposition in close proximity to a gondola railroad car and multiple pallets adapted for spanning the top width of the gondola railroad car and supporting the crane-type crawler. The crane-type crawler is unloaded from the trailer and traverses the ramp to the pallets. In a first preferred embodiment the pallets are characterized by fixed pallets having no adjustable feature. In a second preferred embodiment the pallets are adjustable to accommodate a characteristic bulge in the center of the gondola railroad cars for a higher degree of safety. The pallets are typically sequentially moved from the rear to the front of the crane-type crawler as the crawler loads or unloads the gondola railroad cars and traverses the length of the cars.

Abstract: In an infrared obstruction detection system, an apparatus is used to detect the presence of ambient light and initiate compensation to minimize the effects of the ambient light on the performance of the system. In one embodiment, the magnitude of the ambient light is measured and an offset proportional to that magnitude is fed to the obstruction detection system such that the data indicative of an obstacle are not obscured. In another embodiment, the apparatus continually monitors the effect of ambient light and adjusts the obstacle detection information during the changing states of the ambient light detected.

Abstract: An upper rail for large curtainside truck-trailers comprises a double vertical web structure joined at the top by a horizontal plate that extends beyond the outer web to the outside of the trailer roof anad beyond the inner web for increased support of the roof sheets. Simultaneous with providing the trolley way for the curtainside trolleys, the double vertical web provides the necessary stiffness and load carrying capacity within a 3 inch depth, top to bottom, rail for a 48 foot truck trailer.

Abstract: A system and method for creating reformate with decreased carbon deposition. The system is made up of a steam source, a superheater, a fuel injection device, a prereformer, and a reformer with catalyst linings. The system functions to superheat steam while maintaining the fuel at a lower temperature prior to injection and mixing with the steam. After injection and mixing, the steam and fuel mixture is then passed through a prereformer where catalysts treat a portion of the fuel and steam mixture. After these portions are treated with a catalyst, the mixture is passed through to a reformer where further treatment of the material by catalyst takes place.
