Title: Slim profile indicating instruments
Inventor: ROSE VINCENT H
IPC: G01D11/28
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: The present invention concerns the structure of and methods of constructing indicating instruments with slim profiles. The indicating instrument comprises a meter movement and a circuit board. The main body of the meter movement is situated in an aperture in the circuit board. With this placement, the front end of the body of the meter movement extends a distance in front of the circuit board and the back end of the meter movement body extends a distance behind the circuit board. Through appropriate selection and arrangement of any components on the circuit board, the circuit board can be constructed such that none of its components extend beyond the distance that the meter movement extends on either side of the circuit board. In this manner the space needed for the meter movement and the circuit board and its components collapses into the same area. A Light plate may be added to the circuit board and meter movement. The light plate provides a structural framework for the indicating instrument. The circuit board and meter movement may be mounted to the light plate. In this manner, the internal components of the indicating instrument are all held together and can be calibrated and tested without the addition of any further components.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for printing variable information on a tape (14) to form a tape segment, cutting the tape segment to form a tag (8), and applying the tag onto an object includes a printer (18) for printing information onto the tape segment. A controller (20) controls the printer in response to input to vary the information printed onto the tape. The printed tape segment is transported to a location for application onto the object and is cut. An adhesive tape (14) can have variable information printed on it and can be applied onto an object. The tape includes a backing layer and an adhesive layer on the first side of the backing layer. At least one of the backing layer and the adhesive layer are colored to yield a tape opacity of greater than (60). The tape can have a scan rating of at least C when applied on a black background and an opacity of at least (65). The tape can achieve specific scan ratings when adhered to surfaces that have color coordinates including combinations of a*, b*, and L* that are selected in combination with each other.

Patent CA-2367707-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURBA JOSEPH CARL
IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: This invention provides a new method and system to control strategies of a combined fuel cell and battery pack power system to produce an efficient and cost-effective powertrain with acceptable drivability and low emissions. The method and system provide strategies for vehicle start-up, power load changes, and steady state driving conditions. The strategies reduce vehicle maintenance cost by increasing the battery service life and fuel efficiency. Further, the strategies reduce vehicle cost by reducing fuel cell engine size required by a hybrid electric vehicle while responding rapidly to load changes. The strategies also provide increased fuel efficiency by recovery, storage, and re-use of the vehicle kinetic energy normally dissipated as heat during braking.

Patent CA-2368368-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOTAN EYAL
IPC: G06F21/54
Filed: 2002-01-16
Abstract: A method that protects computer data from untrusted programs. Each computer's object and process is assigned with trust attributes, which define the way it can interact with other objects within the system. The trust attributes are defined hierarchically, so that processes cannot access objects with higher trust levels than themselves. When accessing objects with lower trust levels, processes can see their trust levels lowered to that of the object accessed. The interaction between processes and objects of different levels is entirely programmable.
