Patent CA-2371470-C (CA)
Inventor: DUVE ERIC J
IPC: F16C32/06
Filed: 2002-02-11
Granted: 2005-06-28
Abstract: An improved turbocharger for railway locomotive sized engines includes, in a preferred embodiment, first and second axially spaced ball bearings supporting a rotor with the first bearing being a hybrid ceramic ball bearing mounted to accept both radial and axial loads acting on the shaft at the compressor end. The first bearing is mounted on a reduced diameter portion of the shaft, providing reduced bearing diameter to acceptably limit centrifugal loading of ceramic balls in the bearing against a surrounding bearing race.  The first bearing has dual rows of ceramic ball bearings mounted to share all axial thrust loads on the shaft. The second bearing is also a ball bearing.   Lubrication of the bearings is preferably by direct impingement on the inner race to minimize oil churning causing heating and power loss. Additional features and advantages are disclosed.

Title: Extended wear canal hearing device
Inventor: SHENNIB ADNAN
IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 2000-06-06
Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: A generic canal hearing device is adapted to be positioned deeply and completely within the ear canal, and particularly suited for extended wear. The device includes a removable battery (50) assembly with an outer surface for substantial direct exposure to the environment of the ear canal. The battery assembly (50) is detachably connectable to a microphone (60) section of a universal core assembly, and when connected together, they form a lateral section for positioning comfortably in the cartilaginous (11) part of the canal. The lateral section (40) has an oval cross-sectional perimeter and is substantially cylindrical and elongated along the longitudinal axis of the device corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the ear canal. The microphone section is flexibly coupled (79) to a receiver section of the core assembly which is adapted, with the aid of a surrounding conformable sealing retainer (80), to be seated medially in the bony portion of the ear canal, and by virtue of the flexible coupling and dimensioning, to allow the lateral section substantial freedom to move in response to canal movement with only incidental contact with the walls of the canal in the cartilaginous part so as to be non-occluding and minimally interfering with hair (12) and debris therein.

Abstract: A control apparatus, a control method, and an engine control unit are provided for controlling an output of a controlled object which has a relatively large response delay and/or dead time to rapidly and accurately converge to a target value. When the output of the controlled object is chosen to be that of an air/fuel ratio sensor in an internal combustion engine, the output of the air/fuel ratio sensor can be controlled to rapidly and accurately converge to a target value even in an extremely light load operation mode. The control apparatus comprises an ADSM controller for calculating a target air/fuel ratio in accordance with a predicted value of an output deviation based on a .DELTA..SIGMA. modulation algorithm, and a PRISM controller for calculating the target air/fuel ratio in accordance with the predicted value based on a sliding mode control algorithm. The control apparatus selects one of the target air/fuel ratios calculated by the two controllers to control the air/fuel ratio using the selected one.

Abstract: The invention relates to a throttle-valve assembly (10) comprising a housing (12) that has a throttle opening (16), through which a gaseous medium (62) can flow in a main direction of flow (60).  According to the invention, a throttle-valve (20), which is pivotally mounted on a throttle-valve shaft (18), is arranged inside the throttle opening (16), and the throttle-valve shaft (18) can be pivoted by an actuator (26) arranged inside the housing (12). Starting from the rotational axis (19) of the throttle-valve shaft (18) downstream along the main direction of flow (60) of the gaseous medium (62), the throttle opening (16) has an approximately straight cylinder section (64) with a height H1 and a radius RZ, and a calotte section (68) is connected to said approximately straight cylinder section (64). The inventive throttle-valve assembly should reliably ensure a finely graduated control of the gaseous medium (62) passing through the throttle opening (16) during the operation of the throttle-valve assembly (10). To this end, the calotte section (68) has a center (80) that, starting from the rotational axis (19) of the throttle-valve shaft (18) downstream along the main direction of flow (60) of the gaseous medium (62), is shifted by an interval H2, whereby the calotte section (68) has a radius RK, which is approximately determined by the following equation: RK = [RZ2 + (H1 - H2)2]?.
