Title: High Mobility Suspension System
Inventor: DEPUE STEVE
IPC: B60G11/04
Filed: 1994-11-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a high mobility suspension system for vehicles travelling in a harsh off-road environment. In particular, the suspension system can be mounted on a trailer and consists of a cam mounted on a cam shaft for variably deflecting a leaf spring that is mounted to the frame of the trailer. A swing arm is connected between the axle of the wheel and the cam shaft, such that when the trailer is loaded the wheel is deflected which in turn pivots the swing arm and causes the cam shaft to rotate. As the cam shaft rotates the cam deflects the leaf spring based on a ratio of the actual direct trailer loading. The load rate of the suspension system can be customized by modifying the configuration of the cam member and the swing arm to achieve either a linear, progressive or digressive load rate, or any combination of these rates. The present invention enables the trailer to have a compliant load rate yet maintain a compact suspension design by reducing the spring deflection requirements.

Title: Estimation of surface geometry from relative range images
Inventor: ROTH GERHARD
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1994-11-09
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A semi-automatic method is provided for finding an equation for a geometric surface patch that closely approximates a geometric surface within a digitized scene. By finding equations for patches within a scene, equations representing the entire scene can be found by stepwise sequential processing or alternatively by a system capable of parallel processing. Initially an operator using a mouse or pointing device selects a region from the digitized scene, and then selects one of a plurality of geometric surface types to represent a predominant geometric surface covered by the region. The process is based on randomly choosing the minimal number of data points from the selected region. Based on this information an equation of a surface on which the randomly selected points lie is determined. The process is repeated a predetermined number of times and the equation of the surface with the maximum number of associated data points is selected.

Title: Apparatus for measuring radon concentration in water, and associated measuring methods
Inventor: MAHARA YASUNORI
IPC: G01T1/16
Filed: 1995-08-07
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring concentrations of radon in water contains a radon accumulating coating in the preferred form of a carbon vapour layer on an etchable substrate. Preferably this is produced by vaporizing carbon onto the surface of the plastic film. This coated film is used to accumulate radon concentrations by immersing it in water. The presence of radon is thereafter detected by a counting of the alpha particle tracks which may thereafter be etched on the substrate surface by an etching solution after removal of the coating. The coated film of the invention may be used to effect ground water surveys to determine the discharge areas of ground water and the locations of faults and fissure openings in bedrock by the presence of radon at such locations. This, in turn, makes it possible to conduct monitoring for earthquake prediction.

Abstract: A process for controlling the stress of multilayer films formed on a substrate is disclosed. A plurality of periods, each period having at least two layers of material wherein one of the layers of material is under compressive stress and the other layer of material is under tensile stress, are formed in a substrate. The stress in the multilayer film is controlled by selecting a thickness for the layer under compressive stress and a thickness for the layer under tensile stress that will provide a multilayer film of the desired stress. The thickness of each layer is about 0.5 nm to about 10 nm. Multilayer films with a stress of about -50 MPa to about 50 MPa are obtained using the present process. The present invention is also directed to masks with such multilayer films.

Title: Fuel filler door actuator assembly with integral kick-out spring
Inventor: MARTUS CHARLES R
IPC: E05B65/12
Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: A release mechanism for use with fuel filler door latch systems that provides superior control of door movement during the entire service life of the motor vehicle. The biasing mechanism of the present invention includes a kick-out spring that acts directly against the striker bar. As such, the kick-out spring is not exposed to overstressing and does not cause undue wear of the automobile body. The kick-out spring is a leaf spring having a first end that is secured to the housing, an intermediate section routed between posts extending outwardly from the housing, and a cantilevered second end that is oriented to be engaged and resiliently deflected by the striker bar when the fuel filler door is moved toward its closed position. In the closed position, the striker bar forcibly biases the second end of the kick-out spring to a defected position. Upon release of the striker bar, the kick-out spring acts on the striker bar for urging the fuel filler door to its open position, thereby permitting the kick-out spring to return to its non-deflected position.
