An apparatus for externally controlling one or more brakes on a vehicle having a pressurized fluid braking system. The apparatus can include a pressurizable vessel that is adapted for fluid-tight coupling to the braking system. Impact to the rear of the vehicle by a pursuit vehicle, shooting a target mounted on the vehicle or sending a signal from a remote control can all result in the fluid pressures in the braking system of the vehicle being modified so that the vehicle is stopped and rendered...

The present invention provides a process for stopping continuous polymerization in which a raw material monomer is polymerized in a reaction vessel by continuously feeding the raw material monomer and a polymerization initiator in the reaction vessel, which process comprises the steps of, in the midst of the polymerization reaction, stopping feeding of the polymerization initiator to the reaction vessel with keeping stirring in the reaction vessel; and adjusting a feed flow rate of the raw mater...

A method for stopping Internet viruses from spreading via Email and Email attachments which damage computer systems. This comprises a first routine that is inserted into the program which receives Email and Email attachments that saves the first 64 bits of data (note: not to include the TCP/IP header) into a created header for this data and inserting binary zero into the first 64 bits, a second routine which ask the user if they would like to replace the first 64 bits of data, and a third routin...

A vehicle stopping apparatus for stopping a target vehicle has a capture loop large enough to loop over a vehicle tire, attachment means provided over a portion of the capture loop to attach the portion of the capture loop to the vehicle tire, and a tether coupled to the capture loop. The vehicle stopping apparatus may have an anchoring device coupled to the tether, the anchoring device adapted to apply a resistive force on the tether. Furthermore, the vehicle stopping apparatus may have a deplo...

A linear pneumatic actuator stopping and positioning apparatus has a pneumatic actuator connected to a worktable for moving the worktable along a rectilinear path as well as a selector shaft that is mounted for rotational indexing movement at one side of the actuator and is operatively associated with one or more extendible stop arms for selecting a stop arm located at a selected stop point so as to contact the worktable and stop the movement of the worktable at the stop point selected. The shaf...

A stopping device with a switch of the invention includes a bolt with a head portion, a control signal generating device situated in a bolt through hole of the bolt, and a sliding member. The sliding member includes a shaft slidably situated in the head through hole, a flange attached to the shaft and having a second stopping face facing a first stopping face of the head portion, and an end portion extending from the flange to contact an object to be detected. After the object contacts the end p...

A stopping device with a switch is used for stopping an object to be detected, such as a table on which a work or material to be measured is mounted. The stopping device is basically formed of a housing; a first leaf spring disposed in the housing and fixed thereto at an outer portion; an actuating shaft with a stopping surface fixed to an inner portion of the first leaf spring to be movable inside the housing; a movable contact attached to the actuating shaft at a side opposite to the stopping ...

A stopped plate is provided in the overhead area in an elevator hoistway above the uppermost landing in the building. The stopping plate is mounted in the hoistway and is operable to stop upward movement of the elevator cab and counterweight without impacting the main components of the cab or counterweight. In one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a pair of inverted safeties mounted on the stopping plate and guide rails. If the cab rises above the uppermost landing, the safeties wil...

A device for stopping a diesel engine can properly control an engine stopping operation even if an engine rotation signal is not transmitted due to disconnection of a signal line at the time of the engine stopping operation and can prevent an engine stopping actuator from being burnt even if the engine does not stop due to mechanical trouble in a stopping mechanism. A contact 1a of a key switch 1 is turned from an ON terminal to an OFF terminal, whereby a transistor TR3 of a engine stopping oper...

A feature for starting, stopping and recording playing time for a timed game, such as a pop target game, and provided with a momentary switch which connects electrically to a motor and to a stop watch. Toggling the momentary switch simultaneously starts the stop watch and activates the motor. Activation of the motor winds a cable around the motor shaft causing the cable to be withdrawn from a bar which holds the bar and an attached "start target" onto a horizontal rod of the game, thus causing t...
