Title: Structure porte-tourelle pour navires
Inventor: HOBDY MILES A
IPC: B63B21/50
Filed: 1997-11-24
Granted: 2002-12-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structure radiale servant de support radial à une tourelle (14) soutenue de manière rotative par un navire (10) et comportant plusieurs ensembles de supports radiaux espacés en arc (74), afin de maintenir radialement un rail (38) disposé autour de le tourelle (74). Chacun desdits ensembles (74) possède un galet (104) et un suiveur (94). Une paire d'ensembles ressorts concentriques (92, 98) sollicite de manière continue le suiveur (94) et le galet (104) en les poussant contre le rail (38), de sorte que le galet (104) demeure en toutes circonstances en contact avec le rail (38). Comme illustré par la figure 7, les ressorts intérieurs (92) ont accompli un déplacement maximum radial vers le rail (38) et n'exercent aucune force radiale contre le suiveur (94) et le galet (104). Lorsque la tourelle (14) effectue des mouvements maximums latéraux, le ressort hélicoïdal extérieur (98) exerce une force sur le suiveur (94) et le galet (104) afin de les séparer d'une distance (D) par rapport et au delà des ressorts intérieurs (92), de façon à maintenir la charge des ressorts sur le galet (104) et le garder en contact avec le rail (38). Comme illustré par la figure 8, l'ensemble de ressorts intérieurs peut comprendre un ressort élastomère (92A) pourvu de plusieurs plaquettes élastomères (93A) séparées par des disques métalliques (95A).

Title: Removable vehicle seat assembly
Inventor: STALEY BRIAN WILSON
IPC: B60N2/015
Filed: 1998-07-07
Granted: 2007-03-06
Abstract: The present invention is a removable vehicle seat assembly for use with a motor vehicle having an interior floor structure with at least a portion thereof covered by a yieldingly deformable material. A latch and release assembly is operatively associated with a riser support structure. The latch and release assembly engages with front and rear anchor members of the interior floor structure and releasably locks in one of a range of releasably locked positions. The latch and release assembly engages with the front and rear anchor members and is releasably locked in an initial one of the range of releasably locked positions. The removable vehicle seat assembly is moved downwardly towards the interior floor structure in response to an application of a downwardly directed force thereto when the latch and release assembly is releasably locked in the initial one of the range of releasably locked positions such that the yieldingly deformable material is yieldingly compressed to a decreased thickness. The latch and release assembly moves progressively from the initial one of the range of releasably locked positions to a subsequent one of the range of releasably locked positions corresponding to the decreased thickness of the yieldingly deformable material during downward movement of the removable vehicle seat assembly. The latch and release assembly is engaged with the front and rear anchor members and releasably locked in the subsequent one of the range of releasably locked positions to thereby prevent upward movement of the removable vehicle seat assembly away from the interior floor structure and to maintain the yieldingly deformable material at the aforesaid decreased thickness.

Abstract: The bandwidth utilization and transmission efficiency associated with the point-to-point transportation of internet protocol (IP) data packets in a network environment is improved by employing asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) adaptation layer two (AAL2) minicells as a bearer. Bandwidth utilization and transmission efficiency may be further enhanced by mapping one or more data fields from the header portion of the IP data packets into one or more look-up tables and then transporting the look-up table addresses in the AAL2 minicell headers rather than the data associated with the one or more data fields in the 1P data packet headers.

Abstract: A method for controlling the rheology of aqueous systems, particularly for those intended for underground use, includes injecting an aqueous fluid containing a surfactant gelling agent into the system. The surfactant gelling agents are, for example, fatty aliphatic amidoamine oxides, salts of an alkoxylated monoamine with an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and salts of an alkyldiamine with an aromatic dicarboxylic acid. The surfactant gelling agents can be adsorbed onto particulate supports to facilitate delivery of the gelling agent. The additives may be incorporated in the viscoelastic fluid to tailor its use in hydraulic fluids, drilling muds, fracture fluids, and in applications such as permeability modification, gravel packing, cementing, and the like.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à caractériser des interférences propres aux trajets multiples. Une antenne reçoit des signaux qui comprennent des signaux émis polarisés circulairement dextrorsum (PCD), des interférences propres aux trajets multiples polarisées circulairement sinistrorsum (PCS) et des interférences propres aux trajets multiples polarisées linéairement. Les signaux dextrorsum sont dérivés, de préférence, des signaux PCD et les signaux sinistrorsum sont dérivés, de préférence, des signaux PCS. Les signaux dextrorsum (à trajets multiples atténués par rapport au signal en ligne droite) et les signaux sinistrorsum (de signal en ligne droite atténué par rapport aux trajets multiples) sont traités séparément de façon normale. Les estimations de distance, de force de signal et/ou d'onde porteuse des signaux dextrorsum et sinistrorsum sont alors comparées afin de détecter la présence d'interférences propres aux trajets multiples et de déterminer le degré de dégradation des lectures obtenues du canal dextrorsum.
