The disc member includes an apertured portion for communicating the region of the valve chamber above the disc member with a valuing member region defined between the disc member and a base, such that a second flow path is established by the valuing member region, the disc membe r apertures, the valve chamber region above the disc member and the wall openi ng in the valve chamber. The second flow path is isolated from the first flow path.A movement control member in cooperation with a moveable stop pin establishes four different ranges of motion for the valuing member in order to establish four different flow configurations for the control valve.
Patent CA-2505426-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and system for monitoring the location of a vehicle
Inventor: SANQUNETTI DOUGLAS R
IPC: G06T3/60
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: A location of a vehicle is monitored using a predefined geo-fencing boundary within a coordinate system. An angle between a selected straight edge of the boundary and an axis of the coordinate system is determined, and the boundary is rotated by the angle such that the selected straight edge of the rotated boundary is parallel to the axis of the coordinate system. Subsequently, a set of coordinates associated with a particular location of a monitored device are identified and rotated by the previously determined angle. The rotated set of coordinates is then compared to the rotated boundary to determine a location of the monitored device with respect to the selected boundary. This information can be used to determine whether the vehicle remains within the predefined geo-fencing boundary.

Abstract: Trois types de blocs de formes spécifiques qui, une fois assemblés, font office de murs ou de surface. Installés sur une fondation stable, ils servent à construire des structures sans connaissance approfondie et sans la compétence d'ouvriers spécialisés. Les blocs servent de structure au mur ou à la surface et peuvent être composés de n'importe quels matériaux (polystyrène, bois, ciment etc.). des blocs s'emboîtent les uns dans les autres par des cavités ou des excroissances longitudinales. Ils s'installent par simple superposition. La cavité ou l'excroissance longitudinale que l'on appelle la partie mâle et la partie femelle sont généralement en forme de demi-lune mais peuvent avoir d'autres formes, en autant qu'ils s'imbriquent parfaitement les unes dans les autres. Ainsi les blocs scellent toute arrivée d'air et crée un auto-alignement parfait.  A ces blocs peuvent être attachés une structure quelconque (bois, placoplâtre etc.), adaptée aux besoins de construction.
