Patent CA-2344515-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOGAN MICHAEL
IPC: B60B19/02
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: This wheel is unique in that it is designed to run on both a standard rail line and on a normal highway by combining both types of wheel into one wheel.     The obvious use is to run a bus on a high speed transit line between Toronto International Airport and the city core because there is no rail line into the terminals. Thus, passengers do not have to change from a bus to a high speed rail line to move between the destination points.   The natural solution is to re-invent the wheel. This wheel is designed to run on train tracks and on a road. This wheel will have a metal tire designed to run on a conventional train rail and an additional pneumatic tire attached to it of slightly larger diameter to run on a road.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing locomotive diesel engine smoke using skip firing
Inventor: DILLEN ERIC R
IPC: F02D17/02
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: A diesel engine, having a plurality of individually controllable fuel injected cylinders, is operated in a skip firing mode to reduce smoke emissions during low power operation. The system senses certain identified engine operating parameters and when these parameters exceed predetermined thresholds for a predetermined time, then the skip firing is implemented. In another embodiment, it is possible to implement several different skip firing patterns dependent upon engine performance. Upon implementation of skip firing, the engine timing angle is reset by a fixed angle and a multiplication factor is included in the speed loop integrator to ensure that the appropriate fuel volume value is injected into each cylinder immediately upon initiation of skip firing. Skip firing is then disabled when another set of predetermined conditions is satisfied.

Title: Electronic dart game
Inventor: SHAO CHIA MU
IPC: F41J5/04
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: An electronic dart game includes a dart and a dartboard provided with a frame and a main body for being shot by the dart. The dart game can be scored automatically for being provided a plurality of inductance coils on the frame and connected to a electronic scoring means. A point or a slender shaft of the dart is magnetized so that an electronic signal can be generated while the dart is shot to go through the inductance coils in accordance with the Lenz's law. Therefore, the chances for erroneous signal to occur are very slim. As the main body is designed directly to the frame, the dartboard has a stable one-piece surface, thus a player will have a similar satisfactory sensation as shooting onto a classical one-piece dartboard.

Title: Inner space electrical active manipulator
Inventor: POLIAKOV VIATCHESLAV
IPC: A61B34/00
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: Manipulator device for inputting instruments and small-sized gadgets for internal inspection, checkup or performing various kinds of operation inside cavities or inner spaces of complicated profile. It consists of flat ring elements (Fig. 1, hereunder "rings") located on the same axis and connected to each other by pairs of V-folded bi-metal elements (Fig. 2, hereunder "bi-elements"). On pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 solid black dots signify spots where bi-elements are fastened to rings. Adjacent pairs of bi-elements are angled at the right angle (90°) to each other (Fig. 4). Two bi-elements within the same pair are angled at 180° to each other (Fig.  3). Every bi-element is controlled separately by electric current. When electric current on given bi-element is on, the bi-element starts unfolding. The more current strength, the more angle of bi-element "wings" unfolding. Sending of electric impulses of different strength to different bi-elements (controlling of current strength for every bi-element will be executed by computer and is out of scope of this patent) allows to put the entire manipulator into any form, as complicated as needed, as well as increase/decrease its length or drive it any direction within cavity or inner space being investigated. Openings in the middle of rings form the canal of constant diameter, that allows thrusting in investigating device, tool or instrument (fiber-optic device, video-camera, surgical tool etc.).

Title: Oil return from refrigeration system evaporator using hot oil as motive force
Inventor: KEUPER EDWARD F
IPC: F28D5/02
Filed: 2000-06-12
Abstract: Oil is returned from the evaporator to the oil sump in a refrigeration chiller by directing the lubricant-liquid refrigerant mixture found in the chiller evaporator into heat exchange contact with relatively hotter system lubricant as such lubricant flows from the oil sump to the location of its use in the chiller's compressor. The oil flowing from the sump to the compressor rejects sufficient heat to the lubricant-liquid refrigerant mixture to induce the percolation thereof, such percolation being sufficiently energetic to cause slugs of the lubricant-liquid refrigerant mixture to be delivered from the location of heat exchange into the chiller's lubricant sump thereby effecting the return of oil from the evaporator for reuse in the compressor.
