Title: Bumpless crankshaft position sensing
Inventor: SHEIKH AHMED ESA
IPC: F02B77/08
Filed: 2005-05-19
Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of generating an active crank series of signals that is derived from at least two series of signals, wherein one or both of the series of signals have been modulated to produce two series of signals that resemble each other.  Also disclosed herein is a crankshaft positioning system for determining the rotational position of a crankshaft of an engine that utilizes at least two crank angle sensors (10) and (12). The signal information from the two crank angle sensors (10) and (12) is processed by a signal processor (150) such that the series of signals (220) from the second crank angle sensor (12) emulates the series of signals (210) from the first crank angle processor (10). The signal processor generates an active crank series of signals (230) based on the two series of signals (210, 220). The active crank series of signals (230) is sent to an engine control processor (120) which directs the injection and/or ignition of fuel into cylinders of an engine. According to the system exemplified herein, the active crank series of signals (230) sent to the engine control processor (120) is not disrupted despite failure of one of the crank angle sensors.      These and other embodiments are disclosed.

Title: Sleeve-like knitted structure for use as a castliner
Inventor: SCHULTZE CLAUDIA
IPC: A61F13/10
Filed: 2004-06-25
Abstract: A castliner in the form of a three-dimensionally knitted sleeve comprises a microdenier yarn, and/or a spandex yarn, in particular, a spandex yarn having a flatter stress-strain curve than traditional spandex yarns. The use of the microdenier yarn contributes to the superior cushioning effect. The stretch and recovery properties of the particular spandex yarn contribute to superior fit and reduction of pressure points on the limb or body part to which the castliner is applied. Furthermore, the castliner is rendered water resistant and has significantly improved antimicrobial properties, both of which reduce incidents of skin irritation and unpleasant smell. As a result, the patient wearing the castliner of the invention is able to bathe and get wet without otherwise replacing the hard casting and castliner after such events.

Patent CA-2530656-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMIDT JUERGEN
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: A method for decoding a data stream containing audio/video substreams (14) and control substreams comprises buffering nodes (12) having the possibility to buffer multiple data packets in the same buffer. This may be achieved by having separate parameters for the allocated buffer size and any stored packet. Thus, not only multiple packets may be stored in the buffering node (12), but also such node may exist while its buffer is empty, so that the node may be reused later. This is particularly useful for buffering and selectively accessing multiple audio packets in MPEG-4 audio nodes or sound nodes.

IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 2006-01-23
Abstract: The present invention discloses a shaft seal assembly. A seal retainer member is created from a shape memory alloy and used in combination with a resilient body to seal a shaft. Any deformities in the retaining member upon installation can be corrected through application of an electric current, or through heat, such as that created by an internal combustion engine. This heat forces the retaining member to retain a consistent shape, and a generally constant spring force, despite any eccentricities in the shaft or retaining member.
