Title: Compact moisture sensor with efficient, high obliquity optics
Inventor: TEDER REIN S
IPC: G01N21/958
Filed: 1998-10-05
Abstract: Compact moisture sensor (10) mounted on inner surface (30) of windshield (18) to detect moisture on outer surface (32) and control windshield wipers (20), includes coupler (24) having collimator (37) and focuser (42) and housing (28) detachable covering coupler. Planar circuit board (26) disposed within housing (28) includes emitters (56) and detectors (58) mounted such that the axes of emission and detection are perpendicular to windshield (18) when housing (28) is secured to coupler (24). Collimator (37) and focuser (42) are disposed adjacent emitter (56) and detector (58) such that the optical axes of collimator (37) and focuser (42) form oblique angles with respect to emission and detection axes. Two emitters and two detectors are used to form four optical paths of equal length and optical efficiency. In operation, a light beam from emitter (56) enters windshield (18) at a forty-five degree angle and is reflected back from outer surface (32) of windshield (18) to detector (59), which generates a control signal based on the amount of light reflected from the outer surface.

Title: System and method for transferring blanks
Inventor: GRIFFIN BRIAN P
IPC: B65G47/31
Filed: 2004-06-03
Abstract: A system and method for transferring blanks of material (50) passing from a feeder line to a production line along differing conveyor segments. The production line moves at a higher velocity than the feeder line. Just as a blank is about to transfer from the feeder line (26) to the production line (30), the feeder line is rapidly accelerated to substantially match the velocity of the production line. This assures a smooth, even, and accurate transfer. Near the end of the transfer, the feeder line is decelerated. Thus, the transferred blank is now moving at a higher velocity (VI) than the next (V2) adjacent blank.

IPC: B01D61/24
Filed: 2004-07-15
Abstract: A system for producing energy includes a solvent chamber, a pressure chamber and a semi-permeable barrier separating the solvent chamber from the pressure chamber. The solvent chamber for holds a solvent, and the pressure chamber hold a solute solution comprising a solute dissolved in a solvent. The semi-permeable barrier is permeable to solvent molecules and impermeable to solute molecules. Solvent molecules effuse across the semi-permeable barrier into the solute solution of the closed pressure chamber to increase the pressure of the pressure chamber, thereby generating energy in the form of hydrostatic pressure. A conversion device may convert the increased pressure in the pressure chamber to energy. The solute solution may be expelled and recycled after use.
