Patent BR-9914948-A (BR)
Inventor: OLEGNOWICZ ISRAEL
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a manual, self-priming precompression spray pump, which employs a minimal number of different parts. The assembly includes a container for the liquid, a cap, a conventional spray nozzle unit, a valve member, a piston, a spring and a cylinder for housing the piston and providing a compression chamber. The valve upper end functions as an outlet valve and the valve lower end functions as an inlet valve. The spring is a compound spring and serves to force the valve outlet end into a constant sealing engagement with the interior of the piston, and to resist the compression movement of the piston. The cylinder for housing the piston includes an inner, concentric valve cylinder. The inner cylindrical wall has an axial length which terminates short of the chevron valve when said valve member and said piston are fully biased away from said inlet valve, whereby said chevron valve is in a position outside of said inner cylindrical wall. Thus, at this extreme position, the inlet valve is fully open for cooperation with said piston cylinder inlet end to restrict liquid flow from out of said piston compression chamber and through said piston cylinder inlet end.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring particle-size distribution
Inventor: EBARA KENSEI
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 1999-03-31
Abstract: A charge-mobility classifier section (11) including a tubular space (14) defined between an outer electrode (12) and an inner electrode (13) is arranged above a particle-size measuring section (21) for directly measuring particle-size distribution in such a manner that the two sections are communicating with each other through a guide frame (31). A gaseous sample including electrically charged particles as an object of measurement is poured into the tubular space of the charge-mobility classifier section to classify the sample according to charge mobility. The gas including classified particles is supplied through the guide frame to the particle-size measuring section to directly determine particle-size distribution, which in turn serves to determine approximate particle size and thus the number of charges in the particle. The charge mobility and the number of charges in the particle serve to accurately determine the particle size of the sample.

Title: Vehicle air suspension
Inventor: SMITH GARY LEE
IPC: B60G11/113
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: A longitudinal member, e.g. a leaf spring (11), of a vehicle air suspension which carries an air spring (23) and is pivoted at a front end portion (12) between opposed sides (14, 15) of a bracket (10) which is secured for use to a vehicle, has a width of 70-80mm. The bracket is generally parallel-sided and has a width at the top not exceeding 100mm. These dimensions of the longitudinal member (11) and bracket (10) enable the bracket to be connected directly to the chassis, more particularly to a chassis flange the width of which may vary, typically, between 100 and 150mm. Thus the need for an adapter plate or for reducing the width of the top of the bracket, as has been necessary for a conventional longitudinal member typically 100mm wide, is avoided.

Title: Channel switching in a UMTS network
Inventor: TORSNER JOHAN
IPC: H04W36/06
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: A method of switching from a first to a second transport channel for User Equipment (UE) in a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) of a UMTS system. The method comprises initiating a channel switch, and initiating a synchronisation of the UE to the second channel. The first channel is maintained during the synchronisation phase such that data may be sent between the UE and UTRAN over the first channel during synchronisation. The first channel is terminated only after synchronisation of the UE to the second channel has been achieved. The switch may be from a common traffic channel to a dedicated channel. The Radio Network Controller (RNC) may use a MAC-c entity to maintain and terminate links.

Title: Receiver that uses guard signals to estimate synchronisation position
Inventor: WILSON JOHN
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2000-11-09
Abstract: A receiver is operable to detect and recover data from at least one set of received signal samples. The signal samples comprise a plurality of data bearing signal samples and a plurality of guard signal samples before or after the data bearing signal sample, the guard signal samples being formed by repeating a plurality of the data bearing signal samples. The receiver comprises a matched filter having a matched impulse response, a controller operable to adapt the impulse response of the matched filter to the signal samples of the guard signal samples, the matched filter being operable to produce an output signal which is representative of the convolution of the guard signal samples of the set with the received signal samples, and a synchronisation detector operable to estimate the location of a sync position, consequent upon the distribution of energy with respect to time of the matched filter output signal with respect to the received samples, the sync position providing the position of a window of the received signal samples from which the data may be recovered from the data bearing signal samples. The receiver can provide an improvement in the detection of the data bearing signal samples within the set of signal samples, by providing a more reliable estimate of the synchronisation position. The receiver can be used for recovering data from signals modulated in accordance with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and finds application as a receiver for Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) signals.

Title: Tube preparation device
Inventor: GRAHAM PETER
IPC: B26D3/16
Filed: 2001-03-09
Abstract: A device for forming a circumferential groove (9) in the external surface of a tube (4) at a pre-determined distance A from an end thereof comprises a body (1) having a blind bore (2) formed in it for snugly receiving the end of the tube (4). The base (3) of the bore (2) limits the extent of insertion of the tube (4) into the bore (2). The body (1) holds captive a scribing tool (6) which is radially movable relative to the axis of the bore between a retracted position and a manually depressed position in which it is urged into contact with the external surface of the inserted tube (4). With the tool (6) in its depressed position, rotation of the tube (6) relative to the device causes the groove (9) to be formed. The groove (9) provides a positive location for the grab-ring of a push-in fitting to which the tube (4) is subsequently coupled. The device may additionally comprise a deburring tool (7) that protrudes into the periphery of the bore (2) adjacent to the base (3) whereby the end of the tube (4) is simultaneously deburred upon rotation thereof.

Title: Active magnetic bearing system for improved servo control
Inventor: ELL TRAVIS E
IPC: F16C32/04
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: Apparatus and method for controlling position of a head (120) in a disc drive (100), the head supported by a rotary actuator (110) which is in turn magnetically levitated by an active magnetic bearing assembly (112). A servo control circuit (16) applies current to an actuator coil (113) to rotate the actuator and an active magnetic bearing control circuit (168) applies currents to bearing coils (208) to levitate the actuator. When an external disturbance is applied to the actuator, the active magnetic bearing control circuit provides a bearing translation (BT) signal to the servo control circuit to adjust the current applied to the actuator coil to compensate for the disturbance. Contrawise, when the servo control circuit initiates a seek operation, a seek expectancy (SE) signal is provided to the active magnetic bearing control circuit to adjust the currents to the bearing coils to compensate for the resulting torque forces on the actuator.

Title: Smart card with universal content manager
Inventor: KELLY MARTIN SEAN
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A computing device with an embedded microprocessor or micro-controller, including a software stack which comprises a content manager, and a runtime environment positioned in the stack above or together with a hardware abstraction layer. The content manager is not specific to any one design of runtime environment or hardware abstraction layer, so that several different designs of runtime environment and/or hardware abstraction layer can each operate with the same content manager. This de-couples the content manager from the runtime environment and/or hardware abstraction layer (e.g. a Java Virtual machine; elements of the operating system). The core advantage is that a single content manager can be used across multiple runtime environments and/or hardware abstraction layers; runtime environments and OSs can therefore be swapped without needing to re-write the content manager.
