The Mob Museum is very well done. We stayed three hours and enjoyed

in history of Las Vegas and other cities where the Mob ruled.

nmea 0183 to RS232

Thanks: 1
Thanked 9 Times in 8 Posts
Rep Power:
Jim, I did have some success connecting the ST60 Multi's NMEA+ to RS232 RXD and NMEA- to RS232 GND, *AS LONG AS* the computer was ungrounded. See Actisense's comments regarding not grounding the NMEA- in most cases. With the laptop on batteries or even its AC adapter, it worked fine. However when I plugged the laptop into another device on ship's DC, no more NMEA from the Multi.
Perhaps the IOGear is floating wrt ground (we wish) or you could try the Digital Yacht usb-serial-NMEA reviewed on Panbo:
Panbo: The Marine Electronics Weblog: DY NMEA 0183 to USB, looks handy
List price is about double the IOGear but you'd avoid another adapter.
For a time I used a Noland N183-41 NMEA multiplexer, (discontinued version, borrowed from a friend) which took NMEA in and provided a floating NMEA output as well as RS232. You might find something like that on eBay.
Eventually, I broke down and got the Raymarine E85001... it has the advantage of providing many more sentences, as well as NMEA and RS232 out.
edit: Come to think of it (and re-reading your question), a simple circuit for that application could be simply an Opto-isolator, with a 1K resistor in series with the input/NMEA side (the Multi itself uses 4 2.2k in parallel in series with a PC357 opto) then the opto collector to +12 (with another 1k or so in series for good measure) and the opto emitter to RS232 in. You might need a 10k pulldown or so on RS232, but usually switching from open circuit to +12 would work even without a negative source.
I hope this verbal schematic makes sense, if so it's only about $5-10.
I'm off to bilgeclean and bottompaint but would be delighted to prototype the circuit, test and tweak the resistor values in exchange for help with 46' of wax job. ;-)

PORTLAND -- A man in Washington County mistakenly called 911 to ask where he could buy some marijuana earlier this month (hear audio below).
After the dispatcher pointed out the mistake, the man asked again, saying it's a legitimate question.
We were no help to him in that regard, said Washington County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mark Chandler. However we did send Hillsboro Police to conduct a welfare check.
WCSO started releasing monthly You Called 911 for That? audio clips to highlight that 911 should only be used in emergencies.

Product 22/27
Some cooking requires that you measure ingredients exactly. But making soup is different. Soup making is an art, and you are the artist. Improvising as you go, your only goal is that the blended creation will both satisfy your hunger and soothe what hurts you.
What's true about soup making, is also true about grieving.
In this richly illustrated book, Grandy has just suffered a big loss in her life, and so she is cooking up her own unique batch of "tear soup." This book gives you a glimpse into Grandy's life as she blends different ingredients into her own grief process. Her tear soup will help to bring her comfort and ultimately help to fill the void in her life that was created by her loss.
This poignant story is for people of all ages. It is available in a beautifully illustrated book as well as on DVD. Tear Soup will benefit families, professionals, educators and support groups with the insights and comfort provided in the helpful material.

With federal gun legislation post-Sandy Hook off the table for the foreseeable future, The Sacramento Bee reports that two local governments in California have turned to enacting their own local gun control measures banning ownership of high-capacity magazines. While neither city can report any compliance with the surrender provision of their respective laws, they can report lawsuits by the National Rifle Association challenging the validity of the bans. With California's strict approach to gun control coming under fire (see BB&K Police Bulletin on Peruta concealed carry case and BBKnowledge.com 3/4/14 blog post and 2/28/14 blog post), the state of local regulation remains very much in flux.

A sport that is polluted by cheap entertainment values cannot achieve true greatness, writes Nirmal Shekar
Compression kills sport; it gnaws away at sport's artistic aspirations, its claim to aesthetic élan. Art, and sport, cannot aspire for the high ground when they are condensed to the perpetual climax of the present.
The best of sport allows for the pause. It lets us sit back and savour the has-been and dream of the still-to-come. Nothing that is breathless — and therefore leaves no room for a complex cognitive process leading to emotional fulfillment — can lay claims to sporting greatness.
When you reduce a football match to a penalty shoot-out, a Diego Maradona becomes irrelevant; it is like a 10-minute rendering of Don Giovanni, at once a sham and an insult to artistic genius.
The sine qua non of sport is not the end result of a match but the process used by the performers to get there. And when that process is condensed into bullet points, it leaves sport culturally impoverished.
Trivialising values
The degradation of sporting values becomes even more alarming when attempts are made to turn sport into a form of pedestrian entertainment, borrowing from the worst of the American sports culture.
No matter what anyone with an eye on his bank account might say, a sportsman is not obliged to entertain, in the commonly understood sense of that word.
You might say that a Brendon McCullum on the opening day of the Indian Premier League, or a Virender Sehwag the other night, were irresistible entertainers; well, of course, they were.
But to those who know that the best of sport is more than just seat-edge excitement, the finest moments of this much-hyped Twenty20 league came when a pair of ageing retired Australian bowlers rolled up their sleeves and went to work.
Against Yuvraj Singh's Mohali side, Shane Warne bowled a spell that was pure magic. The lovable old rascal was at his mesmerising best. And, believe me, he was not attempting to keep you amused. He was merely trying to win the match for his Jaipur team.
And, on Tuesday night, as well as a few days earlier, Glenn McGrath bowled as if he was operating with the new ball at The Oval with the Ashes at stake.
Glimpse of greatness
More than all the big hitters, more than all those muscular marauders who sought to clear shortened boundaries time after time to give the lay fan value for money, it was Warne and McGrath who helped provide a glimpse of true greatness — something that Twenty20 cricket might rarely get to showcase.
Several years ago, when he was politely told by a tennis writer that he did not have the capacity to pull in the crowds because he was not an entertainer, Ivan Lendl glared at the journalist and shot back: "I am a tennis professional. If you looking for entertainment, you should hire a pair of clowns and put them on the court."
What Mr. Stoneface meant, of course, was that his biggest priority was to play the best tennis he could and beat the guy across the net from him. Fair enough.
We need to pause here and go back some way and see how sport has evolved. The good Dr. W.G.Grace, perhaps the first superstar that cricket knew, was as good an entertainer as any modern cricket 'icon.'
Yet, in the days of Grace, and for much longer, sport was seldom looked upon primarily as entertainment; nor were sportsmen deemed to be entertainers first and last. If sport has a few things in common with theatre and cinema, then a Don Bradman was no Charlie Chaplin.
A Bradman or a Garry Sobers had no obligation to thrill cricket lovers in quite the same way as Chaplin captivated his audience. If the lovers of the willow game were, nevertheless, awe-struck when they watched Bradman or Sobers, it was simply because the two greatest cricketers of all time did what they did to the best of their abilities each time they stepped on a cricket ground.
Bradman, Sobers, Maradona, Pete Sampras, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer….these are great athletes who have constantly sought to stretch the limits of athletic possibilities. If they have managed to 'entertain' us while doing this, then that is a bonus.
But no sportsman ever achieved surpassing greatness when his primary goal was to 'entertain' fans; nor can any sport, polluted by cheap entertainment values and replete with contrived seat-edge drama, achieve true greatness.
But then, we must consider ourselves fortunate that fleeting moments of greatness are offered even in this unabashedly commercial and brutally abbreviated form of cricket…thanks to a Warne or a McGrath.

I can't be as active as I want to be, due to unforeseen circumstances.
Let me sum up the actions and a blunder I made.
slick should have been lynched yesterday, since CP's vote was 0. I got to the post at 12am and was too tired to sort through everything. I apologize.
Either way, on N3, slick would have been killed by GMaster, Bioengineer, who took on the Sentry's role.

Irbesartan normalises the deficiency in glomerular nephrin expression in a model of diabetes and hypertension

Aims/hypothesis. The location of nephrin has been identified as the slit-diaphragm of the glomerular podocyte. Recent evidence suggests that nephrin could play a key role in the function of the glomerular filtration barrier and the development of proteinuria but its status in long-term diabetes is still not understood. We studied the expression of nephrin in a hypertensive model of diabetic nephropathy and investigated the potential influence of angiotensin II blockade on nephrin gene and protein expression. Methods. Streptozotocin-diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats were given either no treatment or the angiotensin II antagonist, irbesartan, at a dose of 15 mg/kg per day by gavage for 32 weeks. Non-diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats were used as a control group. Real time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to assess and quantify gene and protein expression of nephrin. Results. Diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats developed albuminuria and had a reduction in both gene and protein expression of nephrin when compared with control rats. Irbesartan treatment prevented the development of albuminuria and completely abrogated the down regulation of nephrin in diabetic rats. Conclusion/interpretation. Long-term diabetes in spontaneously hypertensive rats is associated with a reduction in both gene and protein expression of nephrin within the kidney. These changes in nephrin levels were completely prevented by angiotensin II antagonist treatment, suggesting a potential novel mechanism to explain the antiproteinuric effect of agents which interrupt the renin-angiotensin system.

An Indian microbiologist is trying to use nanotechnology to help identify an opportunistic pathogen that colonises recto-vaginal areas in up to 50 per cent of women worldwide and causes several life-threatening diseases in infants. Atul Kumar Johri, Associate Professor at JNU's School of Life Sciences in New Delhi, is keen to develop a mechanism to identify Group B Streptococcus (GBS) bacteria that cause pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis in newborns and is responsible for significant morbidity in pregnant women and the elderly.
Dr. Johri along with scientists from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia is working on a project to make use of nanotechnology for rapid, more sensitive as well as efficient detection of the GBS bacteria in pregnant women.
"In the U.S., the UK and France, there is a mandatory test for detection of GBS in pregnant women between 35-37 weeks of their pregnancy. If the bacteria are detected in their samples, four hours before the birth of the child penicillin shots are given to the women through intravenous injections so that they can prevent the bacteria from infecting the baby and causing pneumonia and meningitis," informs Dr. Johri.
In India, he claims, there is no such test or even much knowledge about the existence and prevention of GBS. The fact that a large number of childbirths in the country happen outside the health centres is another cause for worry, he adds.
"Timely detection of GBS can save a lot of babies in India. The problem is that in India, common people are not even aware of such a micro-organism, diseases that it causes, and that it is so easily preventable. GBS has nine serotypes. In India, Type I-A and Type III are predominant. After they made the test mandatory, the number of children getting infected with such diseases in the Western countries has come down significantly," adds Dr. Johri.
He is also working with the Australian researchers to develop one universal vaccine for the GBS.
Dr. Johri had collected data on the GBS serotypes prevalent in the National Capital Region of Delhi that he presented during a conference at Lisbon in 2006.
Dr. Latif Zafar Jilani, a lecturer with the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in Aligarh Muslim University, has been elected a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Dr. Jilani obtained his MBBS and MS Orthopaedics degrees from AMU .The membership diploma will be awarded to him at the annual convocation of the Royal College to be held next year.
Meanwhile, on Republic Day this week AMU will felicitate eminent teachers and talented students who have made remarkable achievements in 2007. Vice-Chancellor P. K. Abdul Azis will felicitate them.
The Institute of Clinical Research (India) has invited applications for one-year (part-time) post-graduate diploma in Clinical Trial Management. The course begins this February at ICRI centres in Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Bangalore. Students will be selected on the basis of an entrance examination and an interview.
The prospectus can be obtained from the Institute on all working days between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Details can also be sourced by writing to email@example.com.
IIT-Bombay is celebrating its golden jubilee year from September 2007 to March 2009. As part of the celebrations, the institution this past weekend announced its National Outreach Programme for its Alumni Association in the Capital. The programme is aimed at creating awareness about the activities planned for the year.

Kirsten Back to Cute

Like us on Facebook
Kirsten Dunst seems to have a low approval rating these days. I am actually surprised she is not more popular. She has done some really great films like Spiderman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Little Women, and Bring It On (you know you particularly love the last one). She is certainly not as obnoxious as some of her peers who party like crazy and don't even have any acting talent. So what is it about Kirsten that people don't like? Is it because she broke Jakey G's heart?

I think I actually agree with some of those quotes. There may be one or two that sound a little snooty, but she definatly does have a lot more experience and proffessionalism to her peers
MadeofChocolate 8 years
I'm not wild on her acting. It works in some movies, with some directors, but it has a breathy, almost whiny quality consistently that rubs me the wrong way. And she annoys me almost every time I see a quote. A selection from the imdb quote page: "And in the next film they've got to bring in another female character. Just give me the acting; she can do all the falling and fighting." (on money) "I think one of my credit cards is corporate for my company, Wooden Spoons Productions. I don't know; my financial adviser does that. I don't handle that shit." "I want to go on "Crossing Over with John Edward" (1999). I'd like to be regressed to find out about my past lives". (On Spider-Man (2002))"I really wanted the role because I knew it would give my career a boost, especially in foreign markets where I don't feel I'm that well known". "The Virgin Suicides (1999) showed I could nail a very difficult character, while Bring It On (2000) brought a great deal of joy to young girls. These are the beautiful rewards of being an actress". "On every film I do, whenever there are other girls my age, I think it's definitely up to me to set the pace. That's because I've had a lot of experience and I think there's always a certain amount of professionalism that should be maintained." Those were all next to each other. There's a thread of ego there, with an occasional seasoning of ditziness, that just doesn't appeal to me.

I don't know her personally and (who am I kidding, this is a gossip site) I haven't heard much about her personality in real life. But based on the movie roles she chooses (Virgin Suicides, Eternal Sunshine, and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS I can't believe no one has mentioned that one yet) I think she's probably a pretty interesting person. or at least she has a good agent. anyways, I love those films, so by default, I love her.

I liked her in Interview with a Vampire. When they asked her what the hardest part of filming a vampire movie was and she said having to kiss Brad Pitt. She actually shivered and said "yuck". But you can't blame her she was only eleven at the time. Her performance in that movie for her age was astounding. Kind of like pre teen Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun (how was he not nominated for an Academy Award?). She kind of lost me with Spiderman, but then again I can't get certain images of The Virgin Suicides out of my head. I think I am on the fence. Besides who in their right mind would break up with Jake?

I am just over all these wannabe actresses that talk about how great they are, and try so damn hard for attention, and here is this low key girl that could blow them all away , and seems pretty humble about it. She has been in a lot of good films, which in Hollywood, is getting RARE these days.

I don't really have much of an opinion of Kirsten Dunst. I don't love her, I don't hate her, she's just there. But I do hate it when she wears fugly bag lady outfits.

The village Logje is located in the Breginjski kot area (Breginj Corner) in the western part of Slovenia just next to the border with Italy. Due to the cultural influences of Venetian Slovenia you can trace the remnants of the exceptional architectural heritage in stone houses with characteristic wooden balconies typical of Venetian Slovenia and built in small groups.
The village is situated just above the Nadiža river, one of the cleanest and warmest alpine rivers in Slovenia, which attracts a number of tourists in summer. According to oral tradition the water of the Nadiža river has a healing effect. However, the architectural pearl of the river Nadiža is by all means Napoleon stone bridge, named after Napoleon's troops that marched across it.
The Slovenian Littoral Region
Primorska is in the Western region of Slovenia. It is placed alongside the Italian east border. The Julian Alps, rivers Soca, Nadiža, Idrijca and Triglav National park are paradise for your holidays. You can enjoy natural and cultural attractions - waterfalls, caves, rare animals, swimming in rivers, kajak, rafting, kanyoning, paragliding, fishing in many rivers.. Weather and climate are stable in south North Primorska.
Holiday house is an excellent starting point for active holidays in intact nature or visit of nearby natural and cultural sights. Very near you can try
Logje is located at the westrnmost edge of Slovenia. The Nadiža and Soca valleys provide a rich variety of possibilities from adrenaline activities to spending quiet moments in the nature. This area is "land of living water".
The Soca valley offers numerous possibilities of spending time actively in intact nature. Paragliding take-off places Kobala, Stol, ..Fishermen will find their own pool in one of nearby crystal clear rivers (Soca, Tolminka, Idrijca, Baca, Trebušcica...) which are full of autochthon Soca river trouts and Adriatic umbers and other fishes (more at http://www.flyfishing.si).
Wild Soca river rapids represent a big challenge for all rafting and kayak fans, while its calm areas between Kobarid and Tolmin offer an ideal polygon for kayak training or free family downriver descent.
Triglav national park begins in the vicinity of the paragliding take-off Kobala. You can take a trip to the Razor mountain (1317), more pretentious mountaineers and climbers can go further over Komna mountain to Triglavska jezera valley and Triglav mountain or to Krn mountain to west or Crna prst mountain to east.
You can take an easy cycle trip through the Soca river valley or take pretentious mountain bike tours along cart tracks of surrounding mountains.
Hunters will also never get bored in endless forests of southern Alpine slopes.
There are many natural and cultural sights in near surroundings which can be observed on shorter or longer walks, e.g. Tolminska korita, Beri waterfall, Sopota waterfall, church from the first World War on Javorca (European heritage), the first World War remains on Mengora, view points on Bucenica, Senica, Kozlovski rob, cultural historical walk through Most na Soci...
Kobarid (Caporetto, Karfreit) is situated at the meeting point of two valleys. The valley of the Nadiža river with its Breginjski kot stretches westward, and the Soca (Isonzo) valley in the east reaches in a gentle sweep down to Tolmin and rises up to Bovec, Vršic and Predil in the north. Kobarid is particulary known for its turbulent past. It was inhabited as early as the Hallstatt Age. The archeological finds dating back to the age of the Roman Empire speak of Kobarid as an important stopover point on the Aquileia - Noricum route. And in the Middle Ages the settlement was owned by the Cividale Chapter.
Today Kobarid is a pleasant town dwarfed by towering mountains offering many points of interest and places ideal for hiking, hunting, and fishing. Marked trails lead from Kobarid to the mountaintops of Stol, Matajur, and Krn and to the waterfall of Kozjak. Invigorating waters of the Nadiža attract visitors in summer. The Krn mountain range looming over Kobarid marks the fringe of Triglav National Park , a realm of pristine nature harboring breathtaking vistas of mountain wilderness.

A gasoline dispensing nozzle having a system for receiving vapors displaced from a motor vehicle gasoline tank being filled, and an interlock system for both preventing the dispensing of gasoline and closing the vapor receiving system until the discharge spout is properly inserted into the motor vehicle fillpipe. The interlock system includes a first valve mounted in the vapor receiving system outside the discharge spout. This first valve is opened when the nozzle is properly inserted into the fillpipe, and is interconnected with the automatic shut-off system of the nozzle so that dispensing of gasoline is permitted only when the nozzle is properly inserted into the fillpipe. The interlock system also includes a second valve which closes the vapor receiving system, thereby preventing vapors from escaping, until the nozzle is properly inserted in the fillpipe.

In a vapor recovery nozzle for dispensing fuel into a fillpipe of a motor vehicle fuel tank and having a vapor receiving system for receiving vapors displaced from a fuel tank during dispensing, a system for shutting off the fuel being dispensed when fuel backs up into a fillpipe, a discharge spout for insertion into a fillpipe of a motor vehicle fuel tank, a shut-off valve for shutting off fuel being dispensed by the nozzle, and actuating means for closing said shut-off valve in response to fuel backed up into a fillpipe, the improvement of providing a vent line running inside said discharge spout having an open end at the discharge end of the discharge spout, and having a section of said vent line positioned outside said discharge spout, said vent line being supplied with a vacuum such that when gasoline covers the open end of the vent line, the pressure in the vent line drops and the pressure drop may be sensed to close said shut-off valve; and an interlock system which prevents the dispensing of liquid through the nozzle until the discharge spout of the nozzle is properly inserted in a fillpipe, and comprising an interlock valve means coupled to the vent line at said outside portion of the vent line, whereby the interlock valve means is not subject to the flow of fuel through the nozzle, said interlock valve means having a closed position wherein the vent line is closed to close said shut-off valve and an open position which permits normal operation of the nozzle, and means, responsive to the nozzle being properly inserted in a fillpipe, for opening said interlock valve means, whereby normal operation of the nozzle is permitted when the nozzle is properly inserted in a fillpipe and a second interlock valve for closing off said vapor receiving system, said second interlock valve being coupled to and actuated by said means responsive to the nozzle being properly inserted in the fillpipe.
This application is related to copending applications entitled Gasoline Dispensing Nozzle With Vapor Receiving System, Ser. No. 609,760, filed Sept. 2, 1975; Attitude Valve For A Gasoline Dispensing Nozzle With A Vapor Receiving System, Ser. No. 609,761, filed Sept. 2, 1975; Interlock System For a Gasoline Dispensing Nozzle, Ser. No. 635,189, filed Nov. 25, 1975 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,011,897; and Interlock And Latching Systems For A Dispensing Nozzle, Ser. No. 656,997, filed Feb. 17, 1976 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,033,389.
This invention relates to a nozzle for dispensing gasoline into motor vehicle fuel tanks, and more specifically relates to an interlock system to prevent the operation of the nozzle until the discharge spout of the nozzle is properly inserted into the vehicle fillpipe.
Current environmental regulations require that gasoline vapors displaced from a vehicle fuel tank during dispensing be recovered to prevent their escape into the atmosphere. As part of these requirments, it is foreseeable that an interlock system may be required to both prevent the dispensing of gasoline and the opening of the gasoline vapor recovery system until the vapor receiving system is properly in contact with the vehicle fuel tank. Even if such a requirement never materializes, it is still desirable to have such an interlock system to encourage the filling station operator to have the vapor receiving system properly in place against the fillpipe.
The prior art discloses many designs for such an interlock system. One common approach uses a mechanical linkage between the face seal of the vapor receiving system and the automatic shut-off system within the nozzle housing. This type of system tends to be rather complicated, and adds to the weight of the nozzle as well as to the cost of construction and maintenance. Other designs include a valve located within the discharge spout and connected to the vent line which leads to the automatic shut-off system in the nozzle housing. This valve is then connected to the vapor receiving system in such a manner that it is closed when the vapor receiving system is not in contact with the vehicle fillpipe, thereby preventing the dispensing of gasoline. This particular design in the prior art has a drawback in that the valve has been located in the discharge spout of the nozzle and accordingly has been exposed to the flow of gasoline through the nozzle. With this approach, both the valve and its actuating mechanism must be designed to withstand the hostile environment in which they are located.
In accordance with a disclosed embodiment, an interlock system is provided for a nozzle having an automatic shut-off system for shutting off the fuel when dispensed fuel backs up into the fillpipe. This shut-off system includes a vent line which runs along the inside of the discharge spout and has an open end at the end of the spout. During normal operation of the nozzle, the vent line is supplied with a vacuum, and when gasoline backs up in the fillpipe and covers the end of the vent line, the pressure in the vent line drops. This pressure drop is sensed, and automatically shuts off the nozzle. The interlock system is designed around this automatic shut-off system, and includes an interlock valve in the vent line. This interlock valve is maintained closed until the nozzle is properly inserted into a fillpipe. The interlock valve is coupled to the vent line at a portion of its length which extends outside of the discharge spout. Accordingly, the valve and its actuating mechanism do not have to be designed to withstand the hostile environment within the discharge spout.
Further, in the disclosed embodiment, the nozzle is a vapor recovery nozzle for receiving vapors displaced from a fuel tank during a dispensing operation, and a second interlock valve is provided for closing the vapor receiving system unless the nozzle is properly inserted in a fillpipe, thereby preventing the escape of vapors from the system when the nozzle is not in use.
FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of a vapor recovery nozzle designed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates in expended detail a linkage for the valve system which may be utilized with the present invention.
The interlock system described herein may be used on many nozzles which are commercially available today. The disclosed nozzle is the type illustrated and explained in U.S. Pat. No. 3,734,339 issued to Young and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 635,189, filed Nov. 25, 1975 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,011,897 for INTERLOCK SYSTEM FOR A GASOLINE DISPENISNG NOZZLE, both of which documents are incorporated herein by reference. Referring now to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the nozzle includes a vent line 12 which has an opening 14 at the end of discharge spout 16. This vent line extends back to a chamber in the main body of the nozzle which has a diaphram positioned therein, as explained more fully in U.S. Pat No. 3,734,339. A venturi jet in the nozzle supplies vacuum to vent line 12 during a dispensing operation such that during a dispensing operation air is constantly drawn through aperture 14. When gasoline backs up into the fillpipe and covers aperture 14, air is no longer drawn into the aperture which results in a pressure drop in the vent line. This pressure drop is sensed by the diaphram in the main body of the nozzle and automatically disables the nozzle. The interlock system of the present invention is designed around this automatic shut-off system. The interlock system includes an interlock valve 18 positioned along the length of vent line 12. When valve 18 is closed, it has the same effect as if gasoline were to cover aperture 14. When interlock valve 18 is open the nozzle may be operated in a normal fashion. In accordance with the interlock system of the present invention, valve 18 is opened only when the nozzle is properly inserted into the fillpipe of a motor vehicle.
The vapor recovery system of the present invention includes a face seal 20 which seals around the motor vehicle fillpipe. An aperture 22 surrounding the discharge spout allows displaced gasoline vapors to enter a vapor recovery chamber defined by a bellows 24. Bellows 24 may be formed with a convoluted spring therein to retain its shape. Vapors travel through the bellows back to a vapor recovery passage 26 which extends back to a vapor recovery hose which eventually directs the vapors back into the underground storage tank from which gasoline is being pumped. In accordance with the disclosed embodiment a ring 28 is formed in the vapor recovery bellows. This ring may be simply one convolution of the spring referred to earlier. The ring has a cross member 30 which extends like a chord across the circular member 28 below the discharge spout. When the nozzle is not in use (as shown in the position in FIG. 1) cross-member 30 is positioned a distance from a lever arm 32. When the nozzle is inserted into a fillpipe, the face seal contacts the portion of the motor vehicle surrounding the fillpipe, and as the nozzle is pushed further into the fillpipe, chamber 24 is compressed and cross member 30 is pushed toward lever arm 32. Further insertion of the nozzle into the fillpipe causes lever arm 32 to move backward in the direction of arrow 34. Lever arm 34 is pivotally mounted about a pin 36 in interlock valve 18. Lever arm 32 includes a portion 38 which extends across the top of valve body 18 and which attaches via a rod member 40 to a valve member 42 which is normally positioned against a valve seat 44. The valve is normally spring biased closed by a spring 41 in compression. Movement of lever arm 32 in the direction of arrow 34 causes valve element 42 to lift off valve seat 44, which opens the vent line and thereby allows normal operation of the nozzle. Lever arm 32 also extends up and connects via a member 46 with a second valve 47. Valve 47 includes a valve element 48 having a zero ring 52 which normally seats against surface 50. This valve is also spring biased closed by a spring 54 in tension. Movement of lever arm 32 in the direction of arrow 34 causes the upper end of the lever arm to move in an opposite direction, and opens valve 48, thereby opening the vapor recovery passageway. From the above, it is evident that after the nozzle is inserted into a fillpipe a predetermined distance, both valves 18 and 47 will open, thereby allowing the nozzle to operate in a normal fashion. Valve 18 is attached to the top of discharge spout 16. Vent tube 12 extends from a chamber 13 in the nozzle body down through discharge spout 16, and is directed out of spout 16 to valve 18, and is then directed back into the spout to aperture 14. Accordingly, valve 18 is not exposed to gasoline being pumped, but is positioned in the vapor recovery chamber. This is a distinct advantage as valve 18 does not have to be completely sealed against liquid fuel. Further, the moving parts in the interlock system are also not subject to the flow of liquid fuel through the nozzle.
Although at least one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the teachings of this invention will suggest many other embodiments to those skilled in the art.
