Apparatuses and methods for providing an automatic tailgate step are provided. The apparatuses may comprise a tailgate comprising a tailgate latch; a bumper; a trailer hitch; and at least two tailgate steps each comprising a foot step. As such, the tailgate latch may be affixed to the tailgate, such that when a user engages the tailgate latch when the tailgate is in a closed position the at least two tailgate steps are released, and wherein the at least two tailgate steps when released may freely swing clear of the bumper and the trailer hitch as the user pulls the tailgate down such that when the tailgate is in a fully open position the user may utilize the foot step of each tailgate step.

A self-correcting scope compares the original aim point of a projectile discharge device with the actual impact point and self-corrects the scope to account for the offset between these two points. The scope uses a typical optical lens which converts the incoming image to a digital image which is displayed by the invention on a digital display device which functions as the 'eyepiece' of the scope. The invention also compresses the image either to the left or to the right or both of the field of interest in order to allow a shooter to be able to detect an intrusion into the field on interest from a point farther than can be achieved in a non-compressed image.

Self-correcting scope

An improved digital scope for locating and targeting objects. The scope includes an image detection device that is configured to collect image data of a sighted region. The scope further includes a display screen that is electronically connected to the image detection device and is configured to display image data of the sighted region as a continuous video feed. The left sidefield portion of the sighted region is displayed horizontally compressed in the left portion of the display screen, the right sidefield portion of the sighted region is displayed horizontally compressed in the right portion of the display screen, and the center portion of the sighted region is displayed in the center portion of the display screen without horizontal compression.

An apparatusfor processing a substrate, comprises an integrated pumping systemhaving a high operating efficiency, small size, and low vibrational and noise levels. The apparatuscomprises a chamber, such as a load-lock chamber, transfer chamber, or process chamber. An integrated pumpis abutting or adjacent to one of the chambersfor evacuating gas from the chambers. In operation, the pump is located within the actual envelope or footprint of the apparatus and has an inletconnected to a chamber, and an outletthat exhausts the gas to atmospheric pressure. Preferably, the integrated pumpcomprises a pre-vacuum pump or a low vacuum pump and is housed in a noise reducing enclosure having means for moving the pump between locations and means for stacking pumps vertically in use.

A portable tent adapted to be mounted on the top of a vehicle having a rigid roof, with a pair of transversely extending supports thereon, with the portable tent comprising a rectangular support frame including a horizontal flange, a peripheral flange, and the support frame adapted for positionment across the supports, with a floor mounted within the support frame and extending on the horizontal flange for supporting the user of the tent. A flexible water repellent canopy is provided and includes a base and upwardly extending walls joined together, and having an opening along one of the walls to gain access to the canopy, with the base extending in overlapping relationship to the floor. An upwardly extending collapsible frame is adapted to extend within the canopy in an assembled position supporting same during use thereof, and readily dis-assembled when not in use. The collapsible frame comprising a center support member permanently attached to the canopy centrally therein, having a removable center pole adapted to be releasably secured to the member and to extend to the floor for initially supporting the canopy when placing the frame in its assembled position, and a plurality of rods for supporting the walls of the canopy during use thereof. There also being provided securing means for releasably connecting each rod at one end thereof to the member for supporting the walls of the canopy.

Car top tent

A versatile fishing rod collapsible upon itself by virtue of being comprised of a plurality of tapered hollow sections each fitting inside the other adaptable to be used for different types of fishing, i.e., casting or non-casting, and provided with interchangeable parts for accomplishing that purpose.
