Title: Distribution cable assembly having overmolded mid-span access location
Inventor: ELKINS ROBERT B II
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2005-03-29
Abstract: A fiber optic distribution cable assembly (20) includes a distribution cable (30) having at least one predetermined mid-span access location (22) and a tether (26) for mitigating cable length errors at the mid-span access location in a pre-engineered fiber optic communications network. At least one optical fiber (28) of the distribution cable is accessed at the mid-span access location and optically connected to an optical fiber (24) disposed within the tether (26). Preferably, the first end of the tether (26) is attached to the distribution cable (30) by overmolding the mid-span access location with a flexible encapsulant material (52). The end of the optical fiber of the tether may be splice-ready or connectorized at the second end of the tether and protected within a crush resistant tube. Alternatively, the second end of the tether may terminate in an optical connection terminal defining at least one optical connection node, or may terminate in a linear chain of articulated optical connection nodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an exterior mirror or rear-view mirror for a motor vehicle, comprising a highly reflective layer (4), to which a second layer (3) is applied, whose transmission capacity can be modified by electronic signals.  Some sections of the second layer (3) are sub-divided and the individual sections can be controlled independently of one another by a control unit (6).  Said mirror also comprises a photosensitive element, whose signals can be used to assess the anti-dazzle effect for the viewer, said effect being transmitted to the control unit (6). According to the invention: the highly reflective layer (4) is semi-reflective; the photosensitive element is configured as a camera (7) and is situated behind the highly reflective layer (4); the camera (7) is used to determine the co-ordinates of an incident reflected light beam (8, 9); and the control unit (6) controls the assigned sections of the second layer (3) in such a way that the reflected light (9) does not exceed an adjustable level of luminosity.

Title: Avio-car-ptfv
Inventor: YUSUF IBRAHIM ADEM
IPC: B64C3/56
Filed: 2006-12-28
Abstract: Aviocar or PTFV is a Personal Transport Flying Vehicle that is capable of driving on the road like any other sport utility vehicle and fly for a sit distance between two major points like any other small executive jet without using any airport facilities. Aviocar is designed to be driven in a city powered by light weight electrical hybrid (mix) engine and in the air powered by two small size jet engines. The aviocar is a "transformer" vehicle in SUV shaped body with added features such as retractable wings, fin, stabilizers and retractable jet engines in such designed aerodynamically to be capable of flying for medium range distance between cities. It must be no more than 8" feet wide and 30" feet long over all to be practical. The frame is made of very light weight material, but strong enough to withstand side and frontal impact, hard landing and the weight of the load.   The Aviocar meets all of the above criteria by using an enhanced normal car shaped body designed aerodynamically to maximize the lift ability of said vehicle. The Aviocar utilizes a novel aerodynamic design that can function at a high angle of attack to optimize low speed lift while still presenting minimal resistance to airflow at high speeds. Moreover, the design features allow it to function in the roadway as a car and in the air as a craft.

Title: Fuel additive concentrate dosing system
Inventor: VALENTINE JAMES M
IPC: F02B75/12
Filed: 2005-07-01
Abstract: A safe, reliable system for automatically dosing diesel truck fuel tanks with a fuel additive is provided. The additive, such as a concentrated solution containing fuel borne catalyst (FBC), is fed by gravity and dosing is controlled with a signal from a switch located on the ignition switch and/or the fuel tank cap and filler spout. When the ignition switch is in the on position and/or the cap is removed, a solenoid opens a valve and permits a timed or otherwise measured amount of additive to flow into the tank while the cap is off. Replacing the cap and/or turning off the ignition switch preferably stops the flow of additive, the flow rate being set to supply a predetermined amount of additive during an average refueling interval.

Abstract: An improved energy efficient intelligent pulser driver used for generating a mud pulse in a MWD (measurement while drilling) application. In the pulser driver, a direct current (DC) powered control circuit activates a three-phase DC brushless motor that operates a servo-valve. Opening of the servo-valve equalizes pressure in a plenum causing the operation of a main valve reducing flow area and causing a pressure spike in the mud column. Closing of the servo-valve creates a reduction in mud pressure that operates the main valve and increases the flow area causing an end to the pressure spike. The servo-valve is powered both in opening and closing operations by the motor.

Title: Low flexural modulus pattern on extruded low-friction material
Inventor: DROZD ERIC
IPC: E05D15/16
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: A composite structure finds particular use as a weatherstrip on a motor vehicle. The weatherstrip includes a first material such as rubber, EPDM or thermoplastic that exhibits flexibility, and a second, hard, low friction material applied over portions of a surface of the rubber. In a preferred arrangement, the low friction material is coextruded with the first material in spaced rows that allow the weatherstrip to flex in regions where no second material is applied. An increased thickness of low friction material is applied thereby improving wear characteristics without impacting flexibility.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for direct liquefaction of coal.  The process comprises: (1) preparing a coal slurry; (2) performing liquefaction reaction in a reaction system after the pre-treatment of the slurry; (3) subjecting the liquefaction product to gas-liquid separation in a separator, wherein the liquid phase is separated in a distillation tower to form light oil and bottom stream; (4) transferring the bottom stream to another distillation tower to separate into distilled oil and residues; (5) mixing the light oil and the distilled oil and transferring the mixture to a hydrogenation reactor to perform catalytic hydrogenation; (6) separating the product obtained from the hydrogenation reaction in a fractionating tower into product oil and other hydrogen-supplying recirculating solvent. The present process could be operated steady over a long period of time, with higher reactor efficiency and treatment quantity. It could prevent mineral substance from precipitating, and provide a mild reaction condition, therefore increasing liquid yield to maximum level, and simultaneously, providing high-quality materials for further process of liquefaction product.

Abstract: In a fuel control method for a combined plant, when the combined plant is just started or during a rated operation, a clutch is completely disengaged or engaged, and therefore, fuel is controlled in the same manner as in the prior art. In the meantime, before and after the clutch is engaged or disengaged, a target load set value is switched to an actual load in response to a signal from a clutch engagement or disengagement period detection unit as a trigger. In this manner, a sudden change in load that may occur when the clutch is engaged or disengaged never influences on a control system disposed downstream thereof.

A list of network identifications associated with a plurality of wireless communication networks is ranked in accordance with a ranking of network attributes of the at least one selected network attribute type made available by the plurality of wireless communication networks. The ranked list of network identifications is then stored as a user-controlled PLMN list in the SIM/USIM. An automatic network selection process may then be performed with use of the user-controlled PLMN list. As apparent, network selection may be controlled and facilitated by the end user in a more conceptual fashion.  Other additional and alternative advantageous features are described in the detailed description.
