Patent CA-2430079-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE THOMAS E
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un procédé et un système de détection et de contre-vérification de capteurs défectueux dans des indicateurs et contrôleurs de niveau de liquide. Selon une réalisation, l'indicateur et le contrôleur de cette invention comprennent une unité de commande destinée à commander les autres composants les constituant, des capteurs connectés électriquement à l'unité de commande afin de détecter le niveau d'un liquide dans un réceptacle et un dispositif indicateur connecté électriquement à l'unité de commande pour permettre l'affichage du niveau du liquide. L'unité de commande comprend un moniteur et un détecteur de défaillances. En fonctionnement, l'indicateur du niveau du liquide et le contrôleur possèdent deux modes de base (2). Le premier mode est un mode de surveillance. Dans ce mode, l'indicateur et le contrôleur du niveau de liquide, sous la commande du moniteur, détecte le niveau du liquide dans le réceptacle au moyen des capteurs et affiche le niveau du liquide sur le dispositif indicateur. Le second mode est un mode de détection de défaillance. Dans ce mode, l'indicateur et le contrôleur du niveau de liquide, sous la commande du détecteur de défaillance, détecte et fait une contre-vérification des capteurs défectueux. S'il y a détection d'un capteur défectueux, l'indicateur et le contrôleur de niveau de liquide déterminent le type de défaillance, c'est-à-dire capteur ouvert ou fermé.

Title: Reciprocating saw blade extension with lateral offset
Inventor: WOLF PAUL F
IPC: B23D51/10
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: An extension is attachable to the driving shaft of a reciprocating blade tool such as a saber saw. The extension is attached to the drive shaft and the blade is attached to the end of the extension. The extension places the blade at a position spaced laterally and longitudinally from the nominal point of attachment of the blade to the driving shaft, the lateral spacing placing the new blade position approximately at the lateral outside edge of the tool housing, thereby permitting flush cuts. The extension can be formed of an integral strip or sheet having a proximal leg, an intermediate section and a distal leg, joined at equal and opposite obtuse angles. The angles are reinforced bar two or more webs bent from the plane of the legs and attached, for example by welding, to the intermediate section.
