Abstract: A metal powder, a metal compound power or a conductive ceramic powder is compressed and molded into a green compact. Using the green compact as an electrode, pulse discharge is caused between the electrode and a work in a treatment liquid or in the air. The discharge energy helps to form a coating film of the electrode material or that of the substance produced through the reaction with the electrode material causing by the discharge energy. The electrode for discharge surface treatment is characterized in that the sizes of the granules in the green compact where the metal powder, metal compound powder, or conductive ceramic powder in the green compact agglomerates is agglomerated is smaller than the distance between the electrode and the work.

Abstract: A wheel quick release system for a bicycle or other wheeled vehicle where th e wheel can be easily removed by a manual operation on only one side of the wheel hub bu t is prevented from unexpected separation at all times while engaged with the wheel. A laterally moving skewer mounted concentrically inside a hollow axle is equipped with a "non- touch" nut on one end and is spring loaded toward a quick release cam on the other end thereby always urging the nut against the adjacent dropout. To remove the wheel, the quick release cam is operated and the quick release side assembly is pushed axially inward and a safety mechanism is operated and held in this position while the wheel is removed from the fork dropouts. Whe n the wheel is again inserted into the wheel fork, the skewer automatically locks onto the dropouts, and subsequently if the quick release cam is inadvertently left open by the user , the wheel will be somewhat loose but will remain safely inserted in the wheel mounts. In this way, if the bicycle or wheeled vehicle looks safe to ride, it is safe to ride.

Patent CA-2556733-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOLUBOWOCZ KASIMIERZ S
IPC: F02B41/00
Filed: 2006-08-16
Abstract: This invention is a novel engine, in which the internal pressure varies harmonically during power stroke. Even though the engine has many parts in common to prior art engines, its principle of operation differs that of prior art diesel or gasoline engine as it releases energy from fuel in such a way that the prior art engine could not withstand. The energy release from fuel is very rapid by exploding fuel vapor or gaseous fuels premixed with air in explosive proportion. Its design is different too. It is different as explosions of fuel do not act on work producing piston at all, but rather on an additional piston that floats on a compressible air pocket over the work piston. The arrangement converts huge pulse of pressure, resulting from the explosions, into sinusoidal variations of pressure acting on work producing piston and that improves mathematical model of energy conversion and the efficiency; as the prior art expansion is imposed on harmonic variations of pressure. To maximize the said pressure pulse, the detonation of fuel initiates precisely at TDC, which prevents losses related to the advancement of ignition in prior art engines. The conversion does boost the efficiency and also improves torque/speed and powers speed characteristics, so the engine could be directly clutched to load (wheels) without any reduction gears or transmission.
