A system and method to automatically clean the lines of a beverage dispenser system by purging the beverage lines, then de-liming, purging again, sanitizing, rinsing and recharging the lines. The present invention has a series of reservoirs, pumps and solenoid operated valves all run by an automated controller which carries out the cleaning process without human intervention.

Clean in place system for a beverage dispenser

A system and method to control the cleaning and emptying of a wastewater holding tank on a Recreational Vehicle. The system has the ability to autonomously open the drain valve allowing the tank to be emptied while connected to a suitable drain hose. It also has the ability to automatically rinse the tank from an external water source&#x2014;should the system be so equipped. Further, the system and method can operate a wastewater system with two or more tanks each tank having its own gate valve used to empty the tank. In, this configuration the system will only open one gate valve at a time.

RV waste tank control system

A blasting cap simulator for use in bomb disposal training. The simulator has a bridge rectifier, a voltage regulator and an RF key fob transmitter. A fuse across the incoming power lines shorts the device and prevents it from activating until the fuse is blown. It then sends an RF signal to an instructor. The transmitter uses the power lines as an antenna to send out the RF signal. The transmitter is protected from the voltage of the power lines by a choke located on each powerline.

Blasting cap simulator

A system and method for detecting the presence of a skimmer in the credit card reader of a kiosk such as a gas pump, ATM or other self-service vending machine which conducts the transaction directly with the consumer without interaction of an attendant or clerk. A light source and a light sensor are located on either side of a card slot on the credit card reader. When the light source is blocked from the light sensor for a predetermined length of time, an alarm is triggered. The alarm may notify an attendant or security to investigate any issues with the credit card reader. The light source is pulsed on and off at a predetermined frequency to differentiate it from ambient light and other light sources.

A method and system for airing broadcast signals is disclosed. Preferably, the system includes a production truck interface panel receiving a broadcast signal. A transmission relay circuit relays the signal from the interface panel to a broadcast network, and preferably including a broadcast signal detection circuit, and a signal processing circuit. The detection circuit determines a signal type of the broadcast signal, and the signal processing circuit processes the determined signal type. The system preferably further includes an operations control station displaying the determined type of broadcast signal. The method for airing broadcast signals over the broadcast network preferably includes the steps of providing the broadcast signal to the transmission relay circuit, detecting the broadcast signal type with the broadcast signal sensing and discerning circuit; and reconfiguring the signal processing circuit when the configuration of the signal processing circuit does not support transmission of the determined broadcast signal type.

Broadcast method and system

A system and method for controlling the operation of a vacuum material handler providing secure communication between the wireless remote control and the receiver of a controller on the vacuum material handler. The system providing a haptic confirmation of a valid command. The system also providing a battery life extending sleep mode when left inactive for a predetermined length of time. The system further including a pendant remote in communication with the wireless remote control. The pendant remote being operable to command the vacuum material handler.

Wireless remote control system for a vacuum material handler

A transmission relay circuit, a broadcast signal relay method, and a signal detection device are disclosed. Preferably, the transmission relay circuit includes a microcontroller, a broadcast signal sensing and discerning circuit configured for determining the broadcast signal selected from a group consisting of (NTSC, ASI, DS-3, SDI, and HD-SDI signals). The method preferably includes the steps of determining a signal type, directing the signal to an analog broadcast signal processing circuit when the signal is determined to be to be an analog video signal, directing the signal to a digital broadcast signal processing circuit when the signal is either a digital video signal, or a digital video transport signal, and relaying the processed signal to a local loop provider. The detection device preferably includes at least a multi-layer printed circuit board with an isolation/buffer amplifier and terminator, and a signal detection circuit for detecting and determining the broadcast signal type.
