Abstract: Système de guidage et de roulage qui permet le déplacement de panneaux mobiles avec un frottement minimal. Le guidage présente des première et seconde brides espacées verticalement et horizontalement l'une de l'autre. Des premier et second disques sont supportés sur un arbre en relation espacée verticalement. L'un des disques met en prise l'une des brides d'un côté de l'arbre et l'autre disque met en prise l'autre bride de l'autre côté de l'arbre. Chaque disque peut tourner indépendamment dans des sens opposés. La surface de support de disque des brides inclut une pluralité de régions concaves vers le haut, chaque région étant formée avec un rayon différent. Le disque est dimensionné de sorte que le bord externe de la surface inférieure de disque soit en contact avec la région concave vers le haut la plus externe de la bride. Le côté inférieur des disques présente un léger angle vers le haut du bord externe vers le centre. La combinaison des contours de la surface inférieure de disque et des surfaces de bride supportant le disque forme une région de contact étroite entre les disques et les brides, ce qui minimise le frottement entre les disques et leur bride respective à mesure que les panneaux sont déplacés.

Title: Motorization of a bicycle with a simple replacement of the bottom bracket
Inventor: RETALLACK MICHAEL STUART TRERI
IPC: B62M6/55
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: In a motorization of a conventional bicycle, there is an addition of a driven gear to the bicycle chain gear or gears in the bottom bracket area. The driven gear receives a chain from a drive gear, which is the output mechanism of a motor that is strapped to the frame of the bicycle, and transfers power from the motor to the bicycle chain gears that are fixed to this driven gear. Between the driven gear and powered bicycle chain gear or gears and the pedal crank shaft is a one way clutch, which is oriented so that the motor can turn and transmit its torque through the powered gears and bicycle chain to the rear wheel while the pedals are at rest. A second clutch is provided for the motor, which is not a one way clutch, but rather is a clutch that can be controlled in the degree of its engagement by the operator of the bicycle.

Title: Mpeg-4 video specific control packet for providing a customized set of coding tools
Inventor: LUTHRA AJAY
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2000-10-31
Abstract: A system is provided for signaling receivers (370) to identify a customized set of coding tools used to encode a given video stream that need not conform to a predetermined profile of coding tools. In particular, an MPEG-4 video specific control packet (100) is provided for configuration of MPEG-4 video coding tools (200). The packet is transmitted along with the video stream, e.g., to facilitate the provision of streaming video, e.g., for multicast video over Internet protocol networks (350) and the like. Streaming video servers (305, 310, 315) encode the video stream with the control packet for use by video players (370) at a subscriber premises. The system takes advantage of a control packet that is already set up, avoids the need to establish an extra connection, and allows the use of a customized set of coding tools without requiring the complexity and expense of conforming to unneeded coding tools in a predetermined profile. In particular, the system is compatible with a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), defined in RFC 1889.

Title: Automated transaction machine printer
Inventor: LEWIS KIM R
IPC: B41J15/04
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: An automated transaction machine (10) includes a thermal printing apparatus for printing account statements for a user. A paper drive (36) moves a paper web (44) from a paper roll (42) through a printer (40). After indicia is printed on the paper, the paper is cut by a cutter (37) into sheets and delivered to a user by a presenter drive (30). After paper cutting, the paper is moved a short distance in a direction opposed to the direction that the paper normally moves during printing. A paper control device (49) operates to maintain a relatively constant resistance force to movement of the web in the printing direction after the paper has been retracted. The paper control device limits application of resistance forces to below a threshold as well as sudden fluctuation of resistance forces on the paper web which may otherwise cause the paper to slip relative to the drive and cause distortion of printed indicia or damage to the web.
