Granted: 2006-08-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus of measuring wall thickness of hollow glass articles, such as molded glass containers having interior and exterior wall surfaces, includes the steps of measuring intensity of radiation emitted by the article at a first wavelength at which intensity varies as a function of both temperature at the surfaces and wall thickness between the surfaces, and at a second wavelength at which intensity varies as a function of temperature at the surface substantially independent of wall thickness between the surfaces. Since the first intensity measurement is a function of both wall thickness and temperature, while the second intensity measurement is a function solely of surface temperature, wall thickness between the surfaces can determined as a combined function of the first and second intensity measurements.

Patent CA-2341956-C (CA)
Inventor: SULLIVAN PATRICK D
IPC: B65G17/00
Filed: 2001-03-23
Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: A buffer/brake system is provided for carriers used in an automated assembly system. The rear ends of the carriers are each equipped with a flexible ring that is compressed when an upstream carrier strikes the flexible ring. Compression of the flexible ring causes it to expand and thereby engage the sidewalls of the track and the frictional engagement of the ring against the sidewalls of the track act as a brake for the struck carrier. The ring acts to absorb the shock resulting from the collision between the queued carrier and the oncoming carrier, thereby limiting the transfer of impact forces from pallet to pallet along the track. The ring is carried by a rotatable support which has a laterally extended ring abutment surface. The rotatable ring support is able to swivel, relative to the carrier to which it is attached, as the track makes turns in the assembly system. The abutment surface and rotatable support for the ring reduce the tendency for the ring to get caught and cause jams as the carrier rounds curves in the track of the assembly system.

Title: Device for supplying seal air to bearing boxes of a gas turbine engine
Inventor: FUKUTANI MASAYUKI
IPC: F02C7/28
Filed: 2001-05-30
Granted: 2007-08-14
Abstract: Provided is a device for supplying seal air to the bearings of a gas turbine engine which allows the seal pressure to be kept even between the front and rear gear boxes without complicating the passages for supplying the seal air to the bearing boxes. Sealing air drawn from a part of high pressure compressor is conducted through passages defined between the inner periphery of the rotors of the high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine and the outer periphery of the outer shaft, and is distributed to the front and rear bearing boxes. By appropriately providing narrowed parts in these passages, seal air is evenly distributed between the front and rear bearing boxes. Thus, even in case of a failure of one of the oil seals, any concentrated leakage of the lubricating oil can be avoided.
