Title: Appareil thermodynamique
Inventor: GLYNN PATRICK JOSEPH
IPC: F02C7/224
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil thermodynamique à cycle fermé (10) destiné à alimenter une machine à combustion. L'appareil (10) comprend un compresseur (12) servant à comprimer un milieu de travail provenant d'un réservoir (14) à une température T1. La température du milieu de travail augmente pendant la compression pour atteindre une température T2 à la sortie du compresseur (12). Le milieu de travail se détend ensuite dans un détendeur (16) pour faire tourner la machine, ce qui permet de produire du travail mécanique à partir du milieu de travail. L'appareil (10) comporte un premier échangeur de chaleur (18) et un deuxième échangeur de chaleur (20) reliés au compresseur (12) et au détendeur (16) dans un cycle fermé. Il possède aussi un brûleur (22) et un troisième échangeur de chaleur (24). L'air, utilisé comme milieu de transfert de chaleur, est introduit à température ambiante T5 dans le deuxième échangeur (20) où il refroidit le milieu de travail qui lui transfère de la chaleur. La température du milieu de travail descend de T4 à T1 avant que celui-ci ne soit introduit dans le compresseur (12) pour répéter le cycle. L'air, dont la température est maintenant égale à une valeur plus élevée T6, est acheminé vers le brûleur (22) où il est mélangé avec du combustible pour former un gaz de combustion à une température T7 encore plus élevée que l'on fait passer par le premier échangeur (18) afin de chauffer le milieu de travail à pression constante, ce qui permet d'augmenter la température du milieu de travail jusqu'à T3 à l'entrée du détendeur (16) puis de l'abaisser après détente et transformation en énergie mécanique jusqu'à T4. De cette manière, l'appareil (10) récupère de la chaleur depuis tous les échangeurs de chaleur (18, 20 et 24), ce qui permet de réduire la quantité d'air nécessaire à la combustion.

Title: Device that improves the performance of a portable engine powered tool during winter conditions
Inventor: ANDERSSON MAGNUS
IPC: F02B65/00
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: Engine-driven portable tools are widely used for different kinds of work where the surrounding conditions are very different. Large variations in temperature can cause problems for the engine, especially durring low temperatures that occur during winter.  The present invention reduces these problems in a simple and effective way by guiding heated air from the area adjacent to the muffler through a channel placed outside the casing to the air inlet for the engine. The cold air sucked into the engine is mixed with the heated air from the channel so that the temperature of the air mixture is increased.

Patent CA-2380071-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEERKE JOHAN H
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for laser treat-ing batches of pharmaceutical dispensers are provided.  Sequential batches of untreated dispensers are carried on alternate batch carriers that are advanced into as-sociated alternate stationary laser treatment stations.  The multiple stationary laser treatment stations are lo-cated within a region of adjacency in which a single laser source can be operated to treat alternate batches of dispensers positioned within the associated alternate laser treatment stations. A laser controller directs the laser beam to alternatingly operate in each laser treat-ment station and, within each laser treatment station, to treat each dispenser in a batch of dispensers positioned therein. An advance coordinator advances the batch carriers in coordination with the activity of the laser controller in a repeating alternating cycle wherein one batch of untreated dispensers is held stationary in posi-tion within one laser treatment station (while the laser is operated in the one laser treatment station) during the time that another batch of untreated dispensers is being advanced into another laser treatment station. In this manner, a batch of untreated dispensers is substan-tially continuously positioned in one or another laser treatment station and the laser is optimally substantially continuously operating to treat dispensers within one or another of the laser treatment stations.

IPC: H02G15/08
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: An apparatus for retaining and protecting spliced optical fibers that are part of cables that have ultra-high strength steel wires, in which the optical fibers are free to move within a sleeve inside of the wires. The apparatus includes a joint box having opposing longitudinal cable termination ends. The high-strength steel wires of each cable are attached to a respective cable termination end. At least one optical fiber from each cable extends through its respective cable termination end and is spliced together to form a continuous optical fiber. The fiber or fibers are splinted and potted at locations longitudinally spaced from the splice to form ferrules. A central portion or shelf of the joint box includes fiber retaining devices which take the form of ferrule retainer assemblies.

Abstract: A steering apparatus has a manipulator, a steered wheel being steered in a steered range, which is between two predetermined end positions. A first detector detects operation of the manipulator and outputs a signal representing the detection result. A second detector detects at least one of two states of the steered wheel and outputs a signal representing the detection result. In one of the states, the steered wheel is at either of the end positions. In the other state, the steered wheel is deviated from either of the end positions. A controller controls a driving device. The controller causes the driving device to steer the steered wheel in accordance with the signal from the first detector. When the steered wheel reaches either one of the end positions, the controller causes the driving device to stop steering motion of the steered wheel based on the signal from the second detector and to hold the steered wheel at the end position.
