Patent CA-2177992-C (CA)
Title: Indicateur de course de frein electronique a grand rendement
Inventor: HILDING ROBERT J
IPC: F16D66/00
Filed: 1994-11-29
Granted: 2006-01-17
Abstract: Ces indicateurs de course électroniques présentent des structures de capteur (34, 60, 80, 110) intégrées dans un bouclier pare-pierres (28, 62, 82, 116) pour actionneur de frein (20). L'intégration dans le bouclier pare-pierres (28, 62, 116) du capteur (34, 66, 119) protège le capteur (34, 60, 119), les fils (50, 69, 121) et les contacts associés contre les dommages occasionnés par d'autres éléments constitutifs de l'actionneur de frein (20). Plus précisément, le ressort est maintenu hors de contact avec toute pièce électrique de l'indicateur de course électronique, ce qui permet de prolonger la vie de ce dernier. De plus, un capteur magnétique (34) peut contrôler la position des pièces magnétiques (36) sur une tige de piston (32). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une structure sur la tige de piston (94) peut entrer en contact avec une paire de commutateurs à contacts électriques (96, 98) à mesure que le frein sort de sa course. Ces deux contacts électriques (96, 98) envoient des signaux différents à un opérateur placé dans une cabine de véhicule, de sorte que les signaux du niveau de sortie de course soient envoyés à l'opérateur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un capteur de charge (119) contrôle la compression dans un ressort (112) prévu dans l'étrier (111) du frein et signale toute sortie de course.

Title: Gigabit ethernet interface to synchronous optical network (sonet) ring
Inventor: ELLIS DONALD R
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 1998-12-14
Granted: 2006-12-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing data packets via a synchronous optical (SONET) network from devices connected to a local area network to devices connected to other local area networks. At each transport node in the SONET network the data packets are unloaded from SONET payloads and requeued for transmission on an output path. This allows for easy resolution of contention between devices transmitting at the same time and avoids pre-assigning SONET channels. Source and destination address information from the data packets can be used to route the data packets through the SONET network. A time-to-live indicator can be used to find the shortest path to a destination address in a SONET ring network or any bi-directional ring network.
