Title: Method of reducing torque shock on a transmission
Inventor: JURANKO ANTON
IPC: F16D3/28
Filed: 2004-03-19
Granted: 2011-08-02
Abstract: Torque shock peaks when an automatic transmission shifts gears. A  method of reducing this torque shock to prolong the life of engines, transmissions and the entire power train in vehicles and heavy equipment most generally comprises the steps of transmitting rotational power through a torque shock absorber having a generally cylindrical housing adapted for attachment to a drive on a flywheel end and to a driven shaft on the other flywheel end. Thereby peak torque loads transmitted through the torque shock absorber are reduced. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the torque shock absorber comprises a housing having peripheral spaced bolts there through. Bolt openings therein are surrounded by a rubber bushing in the housing so that when the torque shock absorber is bolted to a flywheel peak torque loads are absorbed by the rubber bushings. The most preferred placement for the torque shock absorber in the power train is between an engine and remotely mounted transmission.   This torque shock absorber is not "a coupling". It is a torque shock absorber invented with the intention to improve the performance or replace the rubber element drive shaft "Spicer" #908464.     That is why this torque shock absorber is a totally new invention.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un procédé permettant de lisser ou de mettre à niveau un sol. En se déplaçant vers l'avant, un dispositif du type wagonnet (1), rempli de matériau de lissage ou de mise à niveau (18) dépose celui-ci sur le sol. Le matériau, qui peut sortir par une plaque (4) définissant une ouverture réglable à l'arrière du wagonnet (1), est répandu sous la forme d'une bande. Une lame (9), montée sur le wagonnet et se trouvant en arrière de l'ouverture, étale le matériau sur le sol. Cette lame (9) peut être levée ou baissée en même temps que la plaque d'ouverture et ce, selon un rapport de réduction adaptable relativement à la plaque. Cette opération est rendue possible par un mécanisme en forme de parallélogramme (6, 7, 8) raccordant la lame (9) à la plaque (4).

Granted: 2009-07-28
Abstract: The apparatus has a pneumatic controller, which controls the pressure in a gas conduit (1) in dependence on the pressure in an air conduit (2). Provided downstream of the regulator is a mixing device (4), which has a venturi-like mixing chamber (7). Extending into the inlet opening of the mixing chamber (7) is a nozzle (8), which is connected to the air conduit (2). Defined between the nozzle (8) and the edge (9) of the inlet opening of the mixing chamber (7) is an annular gap (10), which is connected to the gas conduit (1). Also operating in the air conduit (2) is a conical member (11) which is actuated by a linear motor (12). The mixture is withdrawn from the mixing chamber (7) by a fan (5), whose speed is controllable, and fed to the combustion device. The adjusting motor (12) for the conical member (11) operates in dependence on a signal from a sensor, which detects changes in the gas quality, the air pressure and/or the combustion air temperature. The cross-section of the nozzle (8) connected to the air conduit (2) is blocked to a greater or lesser extent in dependence thereon in order to superimpose the sensor regulation on the pneumatic regulation.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a removal promoter for apoptotic cells which is capable of immediately removing apoptotic cells in vivo by macrophages, or a removal inhibitor which inhibits the removal of apoptotic cells in vivo by macrophages. A removal promoter for apoptotic cells in vivo containing the milk fat globule-EGF factor 8-L (MFG-E8-L), MFG-E8-L mutant having removal promotion action for apoptotic cells in vivo by macrophages, or preferably a recombinant human or mouse MFG-E8-L, or a recombinant human or mouse MFG-E8-L mutant as an active ingredient is prepared. Such removal promoters specifically bind to apoptotic cells and promote the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages by recognizing aminophospholipids such as phosphatidylserine exposed on apoptotic cell surface. On the other hand, a point mutation (D89E) MFG-E8-L mutant is used as a removal inhibitor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for correlating and distributing intrusion alert information among collaborating computer systems are provided. These systems and methods provide an alert correlator and an alert distributor that enable early signs of an attack to be detected and rapidly disseminated to collaborating systems. The alert correlator utilizes data structures to correlate alert detections and provide a mechanism through which threat information can be revealed to other collaborating systems. The alert distributor uses an efficient technique to group collaborating systems and then pass data between certain members of those groups according to a schedule. In this way data can be routinely distributed without generating excess traffic loads.

Abstract: A system and method permitting a modification to be specified for several segments sharing a common attribute. Such shared modification may be combined with other separately specified modifications made to a composition or part of a composition. A method and system for processing a modification to be applied to sections of digital media on a digital nonlinear editing system is provided, where a first segment of a media composition represents at least a section of a digital media source. An induction of a modification to be applied to the first segment is received, and a first attribute of the first segment is identified. A first indication of the image modification is stored such that the modification is applied to other segments on the system having the first attribute in common with the first segment. A method and system for applying image modification to a first section of a digital media source on a digital nonlinear editing system also is provided, where a first segment of a media composition represents the first section. The first segment is accessed, and a first source data structure from which the first segment originates is accessed, where the first source data structure represents at least the first section of the digital media source. It is determined whether the first source data structure includes a first indication that defines a first modification to be applied to sections of the digital media source represented by segments that originate from the first source data structure. If the first source data structure includes the first indication, the first modification is applied to the first section of media represented by the first segment.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the copy protection of optical discs
Inventor: BASILE CARMEN LAURA
IPC: G11B27/00
Filed: 2005-02-08
Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: Generally the more effective is the copy protection provided on an optical disc, such as a DVD, the greater is the likelihood that the copy protection will adversely interfere with legitimate uses of the optical disc. It is therefore proposed to include at least one region of subversive data within the content in the data area of an optical disc, and then to prevent access to each such region of subversive data during normal playback of the disc. For a DVD, the subversive data may be incorporated within video objects and/or may be in gaps between files in the DVD_Video zone. It is arranged that there are no navigable paths to the regions of subversive data.

Abstract: Un obturateur (38) à volet unique (46, 48) est commandé de manière asynchrone (82) afin d'interrompre la source lumineuse (22) du système de mesure pendant le minimum de temps requis pour effectuer la standardisation, le réétalonnage et la normalisation du système de détecteurs (68a - 68d) au InGaAs. Des hémisphères (50, 62) sources/détecteurs ou des faisceaux de fibres (132) à orientation aléatoire montés en série homogénéisent la lumière frappant les détecteurs. L'essai des sources lumineuses consiste à mesurer les distributions spectrales de puissance pour différents niveaux de puissance desdites sources, puis à comparer ces mesures à leurs caractéristiques de base. La durée de vie des éléments d'étalonnage se trouve allongée indéfiniment du fait du blocage de la source lumineuse par l'obturateur à volet, sauf pendant de courtes périodes de niveau normal d'éclairage.
