Patent CA-2299154-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOUSIF OSSAMA I I
IPC: F03D3/04
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: This invention relates to vertical and horizontal axle wind turbines. In particular, to a device that takes in all the wind cross section facing it, and with minimum loss on frictional and mechanical resistance, puts it to work to spin a generator, for instance. It's superiority is revealed in it's ability to increase wind energy by increasing air density in wind compaction tunnels, then gradually releasing that into smaller wind turbines which can work separately, in pairs, and groups, on one or more generator, and can be stacked in an airtight fashion.  Thus the device can produce at wind velocities from the very low to the structural damaging. The invention is customer innovation driven with a universal, industrial, commercial and retail application.

Abstract: An electronic vent valve for an electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP") braking system having a plurality of braking sites at which a braking force can be applied. The ECP braking system includes a master controller processing circuit, individual braking control units located proximate each of the braking sites and a brake pipe supplying compressed air to the braking sites. The electronic vent valve is in fluid communication with the compressed air carried by the brake pipe and has an open position for substantially venting the compressed air from the brake pipe and a closed position for substantially retaining the compressed air within the brake pipe. The electronic vent valve includes a control circuit for causing the valve to open during emergency braking operations, thereby assuring a rapid decrease in the brake pipe pressure.      The control circuit preferably includes a brake pipe pressure sensor and a microprocessor for calculating a rate of change of the brake pipe pressure (dP/dt) and for causing the valve to open whenever the calculated rate of change of brake pipe pressure exceeds a threshold value. The control circuit can additionally cause the valve to open in response to a direct command from the master controller and can transmit to the master controller various operational characteristics of the braking system and the microprocessor itself.

Filed: 1998-12-30
Abstract: On décrit un ionisant d'air (10) comprenant au moins deux électrodes (26) logées dans une zone en retrait (18) d'un boîtier blindé (12). Lorsque des tensions élevées sont appliquées sur les électrodes (26), les molécules d'air avoisinantes sont ionisées et se déplacent généralement vers une zone cible à l'extérieur du boîtier (12). Du fait de la protection que le boîtier blindé (26) offre aux électrodes, la production d'ions n'est pas perturbée de manière sensible par des objets chargés ou mis à la terre autres que ceux situés dans la direction générale de la zone cible. Dans une forme de réalisation, les électrodes (26) sont placées suffisamment près des parois internes de la zone en retrait (18) pour induire une charge électrostatique des parties des surfaces des parois jouxtant les électrodes. Cette charge tend à repousser les ions avoisinants dont une grande partie est chassée de la zone en retrait (18) vers la zone cible.

Filed: 2001-03-09
Abstract: An aircraft passenger chair has a support frame, a seat and a backrest. A position adjustment mechanism is coupled between the frame and the backrest by a unidirectional force transmission to permit tilting the backrest clockwise forward into a parking position while simultaneously shifting the seat backward independently of the position adjustment mechanism to increase the space between two rows of seats. Operating the position adjustment mechanism tilts the backrest counterclockwise from an upright position into a rest position and returns the backrest into its upright position. Bringing the backrest into the parking position and shifting the seat simultaneously backward is independent of tilting the backrest into a rest position. Similarly returning the backrest and the seat into the respective normal position is also independent of returning the backrest from the rest position into the normal position.
