Title: Non-contact rotary and linear sensor devices
Inventor: ORRICO MARIO M
IPC: G01P13/00
Filed: 2004-10-18
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: A position sensor device that produces a variable output voltage when using a light emitting diode, such as an infrared light emitting diode (IR-LED), and a phototransistor further includes the use of a semi-transparent piece of material having a varying thickness that passes between the IR-LED and the phototransistor. The output voltage provided by the phototransistor varies depending on the amount of light collected by the phototransistor, which is controlled by the amount of light passing through the semi-transparent material. The amount of light passing through the transparent material depends on the thickness of the semi- transparent material. With the invention, the semi-transparent material may pass between the IR-LED and phototransistor in either a linear or rotary manner.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de commande d'un moteur (10) utilisé comme principale source d'énergie d'un engin forestier, lequel engin forestier manipule des troncs d'arbre sur un terrain de telle sorte que les propriétés du tronc d'arbre susceptible d'être manipulé à ce moment là sont déterminées au moyen d'une ou plusieurs mesures dudit tronc d'arbre effectuées par ledit engin forestier et/ou au moyen de données entrées par le conducteur de l'engin forestier dans celui-ci. Selon cette invention, les propriétés d'un seul tronc d'arbre, déterminées au début de sa manipulation et/ou mises à jour pendant la manipulation dudit tronc d'arbre, sont utilisées pour évaluer, automatiquement et au préalable, un ou plusieurs niveaux de puissance requis par l'une ou plusieurs des opérations de manipulation devant être exécutées sur ledit tronc d'arbre avant que ces troncs d'arbre ne soient manipulés. Ainsi, la fonction du moteur (10) de l'engin forestier est optimisée, automatiquement et en fonction du tronc, par l'attribution des paramètres de commande du moteur de sorte qu'on obtienne le ou les niveaux de puissance requis pour la manipulation du tronc d'arbre par l'optimisation du rendement du moteur. Cette invention porte également sur un engin forestier qui met en oeuvre ce procédé.

Abstract: A stop valve includes a valve body, a multi shot resilient control sleeve, 0-ring and handle. The control sleeve is molded to the valve stem to create an integral but separately molded fluid control member. Inlet line pressure resiliently biases the side walls of the control sleeve and a circumferential sealing flap formed thereon into sealing engagement with the valve bore to prevent leakage. The control sleeve consists of a hard plastic cylinder and a flexible barrel member molded as one consistent piece by a multishot molding process. The 0-ring also serves as a backup seal to prevent leakage to atmosphere. A valve handle is secured to the valve by either a screw or a snap protrusion.

Abstract: A method and system for classifying display pages based on automatically generated summaries of display pages. A web page classification system uses a web page summarization system to generate summaries of web pages. The summary of a web page may include the sentences of the web page that are most closely related to the primary topic of the web page. The summarization system may combine the benefits of multiple summarization techniques to identify the sentences of a web page that represent the primary topic of the web page. Once the summary is generated, the classification system may apply conventional classification techniques to the summary to classify the web page. The classification system may use conventional classification techniques such as a Naïve Bayesian classifier or a support vector machine to identify the classifications of a web page based on the summary generated by the summarization system.
