Patent CA-2529888-C (CA)
Inventor: PLANTAN RONALD S
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 2005-12-12
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: A spring-type brake actuator for a pneumatically-operated vehicle brake is provided, with a brake actuator spring located on a front side of the actuator's intermediate flange, between a service brake actuator and a parking brake release actuator. The spring is captured between the intermediate flange and a retaining plate which is connected to the parking brake release actuator via a shaft through the intermediate flange. Because the retaining plate and parking brake release actuator are connected to one another on opposite sides of the intermediate flange, spring expansion is checked, thereby increasing safety during actuator production and servicing by virtually eliminating the potential for uncontrolled spring energy release. The actuator configuration also reduces structural loads on the rear portion of the housing and shifts spring and housing weight closer to the vehicle brake, permitting simpler designs and use of alternative materials, such as plastic or aluminum to lower costs.

Granted: 2016-06-07
Abstract: A shared signaling channel has multiple segments, and parameters for this channel may or may not be sent to users in advance. For example, the number of segments, the size and rate of each segment, and so on may be broadcast to the users via an overhead channel. The transmit power for each segment is not broadcast to the users and can range from zero to the total transmit power. A  base station obtains signaling for all terminals within its coverage and maps the signaling for each terminal to at least one segment used for the terminal, which may be dynamically selected. The base station processes (e.g., jointly or individually encodes) the signaling mapped to each segment and generates output data for the segment. The output data for each segment is multiplexed onto the system resources allocated for the segment and transmitted at the selected power level.

Abstract: Une bouteille ayant une base comprenant une surface flexible se projetant vers l'intérieur et vers le haut dans les limites dune rondelle de centrage généralement continue, possède une paroi généralement cylindrique s'étendant vers le haut depuis la base. Une pluralité d'anneaux se projetant vers l'intérieur et flexible dans le sens vertical s'étend autour du périmètre de la paroi cylindrique, interrompant ainsi la paroi cylindrique. Au moins un des anneaux se projette plus vers l'intérieur que certains autres des anneaux afin d'obtenir une résistance de la paroi latérale à la compression qui est au moins aussi grande que des bouteilles comparables ayant des parois plus épaisses. La partie épaule, comprenant une pluralité de nervures verticales séparant une pluralité de panneaux sensibles au vide, s'étend vers le haut depuis la paroi cylindrique jusqu'à un col qui mène à une ouverture encapsulable. La souplesse verticale de la paroi latérale de la bouteille réduit l'amplitude de la flexion nécessaire dans les panneaux de l'épaule et dans la base lorsqu'un vide se développe, et augmente l'amplitude totale du vide qui peut s'établir après encapsulation dans la bouteille dans son ensemble.
