Title: A deformable seat belt webbing guide
Inventor: MITCHELL SIMON
IPC: B60R22/03
Filed: 2007-12-11
Abstract: A device 10 is provided for guiding seat belt webbing 60 emerging from vehicle trim at an exit point and being guided through a D-loop 40. The device comprises an arm 30 for preventing the webbing from flapping, such as when the roof of a convertible vehicle is lowered, and where the arm is deformable (figure 6) so that it may be moved out of the way when a person seeks to gain access to a second row of seats. The deformability of the arm may be provided by a joint such as a localized weakening 32 in the length of the arm, or the arm may be tapered so that the slimmest portion provides the joint. The device may comprise a cap 20 which fits over the D-loop and engages with the vehicle trim by means of a lip 23, this also allowing the device to rotate. An aperture 34 is provided at the end of the arm through which the webbing passes. When located within a vehicle the arm may cover at least half the distance between the exit point of the webbing and the seat.

Title: Wear resistant coating
Inventor: KYLE JEAN
IPC: A61C1/00
Filed: 2007-05-17
Abstract: A low friction top coat (74) over a multilayer metal /ceramic bondcoat (70) provides a conductive substrate (68), such as a rotary tool, with wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The top coat further provides low friction and anti-stickiness as well as high compressive stress. The high compressive stress provided by the top coat protects against degradation of the tool due to abrasion and torsional and cyclic fatigue. Substrate temperature is strictly controlled during the coating process to preserve the bulk properties of the substrate and the coating. The described coating process is particularly useful when applied to shape memory alloys.

Abstract: 315,284. Stevens, S. A., and Westing- house Brake &. Saxby Signal Co., Ltd. April 4, 1928. S t a t i c contact rectifiers, arrangements of. - An arrangement for supplying two or more load circuits with direct current at different voltages from an alternating current supply source comprises two or more bridge circuits each comprising a pair of opposed rectifying elements, these elements conducting current in a direction towards their common point of connection in the case of one pair 2, 3, and away from their common point of connection in the case of the other pair 4, 5, the common points of connection together with the neutral point of the supply source, for example the mid-point 11 of secondary of the supply transformer, being connected to the load circuit terminals 8, 9, 10. In the arrangement according to Fig. 2, a voltage corresponding to the full voltage of the secondary of the transformer is available at terminals 8, 9 for supplying current to the plate circuit of a valve 17 of a wireless receiver, whilst a voltage corresponding to half the voltage of the transformer secondary is available at terminals 8, 9 for supplying current to the plate circuit of the valve 15. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the two bridge circuits are connected across different proportions of the transformer secondary so that different voltages are available between the terminals 8, 10, and 9, 10 respectively, the neutral lead 12 being in this case common to the two load circuits. Arrangements involving combinations of those shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and additional bridge circuits fed by an additional secondary winding on the transformer in order that a wider range of anode voltages as well as grid-biasing voltages may be available are also described. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement adapted for use on polyphase supply systems, the rectifiers in this case being arranged in two groups 47, 48 oppositely connected with respect to their common points of connection 49, 50 and connected to a threephase transformer secondary 43.

Abstract: 298,463. Siemens & Halske Akt.- Ges. Oct. 8, 1927, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Fading, preventing.-A method of controlling the overall attenuation of a combined wired and wireless transmission by means of a control current is characterized by the fact that the controlling current consists of a mixture of oscillations the frequencies of which lie outside the range of the signalling frequencies. The control frequency is modulated or broken up into a complex wave at the transmitting station, and the relay device on reception is adapted to respond to the average or mean value of the resulting band of control frequencies. The method is intended to counteract the effect of interference between the earthbound and space-wave components of the control current, where zero points of reception may occur if a single frequency is used.
