A communication system to transfer data between a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle including data of selected vehicle control network operating parameters generated in a towed vehicle, through a microcontroller to a remote monitor or display in the towing vehicle to show and alert the status of selected operating parameters of the towed vehicle when in tow.

Communication system to transfer data between vehicles

An electronically controlled brake system to automatically or remotely control the braking of a towed vehicle from a towing vehicle comprising a towing vehicle module including a microcontroller having logic and circuitry to generate a braking signal in response to braking of the towing vehicle fed through an automotive vehicle self-diagnostic device port and vehicle control unit interface to the brake system of the towed vehicle and a towed vehicle includes a microcontroller having logic and circuitry to generate a brake control signal fed to the brake system on the towed vehicle through a vehicle control unit interface and automotive self-diagnostic port to electronically actuate the towed vehicle brakes.

Electronically controlled brake system

A brake and communication system to remotely control the braking of a towed vehicle from a towing vehicle comprising a towing vehicle module including a microcontroller having logic and circuitry to generate a braking signal in response to braking of said towing vehicle fed through an automotive vehicle self-diagnostic device port and vehicle control unit interface to the brake system of the towed vehicle and the towed vehicle includes a microcontroller having logic and circuitry to generate a brake control signal fed to the brake system of the towed vehicle through a vehicle control unit interface and automotive self-diagnostic port to electronically actuate the towed vehicle brakes and to transfer data between said towing vehicle and the towed vehicle including information of selected vehicle control network operating parameters generated in the towed vehicle through said microcontroller to a remote monitor or display in said towing vehicle to show and to alert the driver of said towing vehicle of the status of selected operating parameters of the towed vehicle when in tow.

Wall plate

A braking control system and method to synchronize the operation of the braking system of a towed vehicle with the braking system of a towing vehicle to match the deceleration and acceleration of the towed vehicle with the deceleration and acceleration of the towing vehicle wherein the braking control system includes a braking device comprising an electrically driven linear actuator coupled between an electric motor and the brake pedal of the towed vehicle and a control device coupled to the electric motor and including logic to control operation of the electrically driven linear actuator to selectively extend and retract the electrically driven linear actuator to selectively depress and release the brake pedal of the towed vehicle as the towing vehicle decelerates and accelerates.

Braking control system and method to sysnchronize the operation of the braking of a towed vehicle

A trolling motor control system to control the operation of a trolling motor including a rotatable propulsion support shaft to couple a propulsion unit to a boat including a plurality of modules and one or more control devices including a foot pedal control having a foot pedal pivotally mounted to the deck of the boat wherein the plurality of modules includes logic and circuitry to send and receive signals between the modules and to send and receive signals to and from the foot pedal control to synchronize or align the corresponding angular position of rotatable propulsion support shaft in the horizontal plane relative to the longitudinal axis of the boat with the angular position of the foot pedal control in the vertical plane relative to the deck of the boat and to generate tactile feedback to the pivotal foot pedal.

Switch

A battery power management system for vehicles and vessels requiring switching devices to disconnect mounted batteries from unit loads utilizing rules based logic. The battery power management system controls the switching devices to prevent over-discharging and over-charging of the batteries and to prevent excessive current drain. The battery power management system utilizes various timing parameters to coordinate connection and disconnection attempts and provides status information regarding the current state of protection of the batteries.

A method and system for enhancing the visibility of screen images in a high ambient light condition or environment by processing the object images comprising a first stage to increase the brightness of transmission light from the back-light of an LCD screen and a second stage to further enhance the brightness as well as the contrast of the images to be displayed.

Method of enhancing the visibility of screen images

A reusable, catch basin filter installable by one person into a catch basin. A blank of filter material is foldable to form a skirt with a central opening and having the shape of a flattened tube. A filter trap filter depends from the skirt. The hollow interior of the trap communicates with the central opening of the skirt. A flat, wire insert inserts into the skirt through an open, first end of the skirt. When installed in a catch basin, the wire insert prevents the filter from slumping as material accumulates within the filter trap. Upstanding fabric loops permit lifting a full or partially full filter out of a catch basin by carry poles or the forks of a fork lift truck inserted through the loops. After removing retained matter from the filter and cleaning the filter trap, the filter is ready for reuse.

Catch basin filter

A shallow water anchor to anchor a water craft in a shallow body of water comprising an anchor positioning assembly mounted on or to the water craft and an anchor member, the anchor position assembly comprises at least one anchor engaging member coupled to an anchor positioning device to raise and lower the anchor member between an elevated position and an anchored position and a system control to control the operation of the anchor position assembly in raising and lowering the anchor member such that the anchor member is lowered to engage the bottom of the shallow body of water to anchor the water craft and the anchor member disengages the bottom of the shallow body of water when the anchor member is raised to permit the water craft to move about the shallow body of water.

Shallow water anchor

Embodiments of the invention provide wireless irrigation control systems and related methods. In one embodiment, the invention may be characterized as a wireless irrigation control system comprising: at least one water flow control device; a watertight housing; and a wireless receiver within the watertight housing and adapted to receive irrigation schedule related signals. The system also includes a memory within the watertight housing and adapted to store an irrigation schedule established or modified by the received irrigation schedule related signals; and a controller within the watertight housing and coupled to the memory, the controller adapted to execute the irrigation schedule to cause the water flow control device to operate according to the irrigation schedule. Additionally, a power supply is within the watertight housing and adapted to supply power to at least the controller.

Wireless irrigation control device and related method

An electrical power control system for use with a recreational vehicle or similar load to selectively control power thereto from either a utility power source or a generator power source comprising a power control stage coupled to the utility power source and the generator power source by a power supply stage to operate the electrical power control system and a utility/generator switch arrangement to selectively direct the power from either the utility power source or the generator power source to the recreational vehicle and wherein the power control stage monitors polarity, phase and voltage levels and controls the utility/generator switch arrangement to selectively feed power from either the utility power source or the generator power source to the recreational vehicle under a predetermined plurality of operating parameters or conditions and fault conditions.
