Title: System and method for monitoring vehicle conditions affecting tires
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN THOMAS A
IPC: G01M17/02
Filed: 2000-11-06
Granted: 2006-06-13
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring tread wear, shock absorber performance, balance condition of a vehicle tire, and/or rotation speed of a vehicle wheel, use a sensor to provide acceleration signals. To monitor tread wear, acceleration signals from the sensor determine at least one resonance frequency of at least one of the radial and lateral acceleration of the tire and compares it to at least one stored resonance frequency To monitor shock absorber performance, the amplitude of the Fourier component of the radial acceleration is compared to a stored amplitude value. To monitor a balance condition of a vehicle tire, the sensor provides acceleration signals measured over a specified time duration to determine an amplitude of the Fourier component of the radial acceleration that is compared to a stored amplitude specification balance condition of the tire.

Abstract: The pipe-laying vehicle 1 possesses a lower vehicle body 2 with a driver's cab and a jib 10 which is supported on the lower vehicle body 2 and can be raised and lowered about a horizontal axis of inclination 11.      In addition, the jib 10 can be swivelled about a vertical pivot axis by means of a live ring. On the outer end of the jib 10, a sheave head 31 is provided with a deflection pulley 26 and a sheave 28, and can be swivelled as a whole about an adjustment axis 32 relative to the jib 10. This adjustment axis 28 extends in the longitudinal direction of the jib 10. By means of a mechanically or hydraulically actuated locking device, the pivot position of the sheave head 31 relative to the jib 10 can also be locked. As a result of the swivel capability both of the jib 10 and of the sheave head 31, the pipe laying work can be performed more simply and quickly.

Title: Complexity index methodology for the analysis of run life performance
Inventor: RIVAS OLEGARIO S
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2001-01-19
Granted: 2009-10-20
Abstract: A system and method for predicting a specific aspect, such as run life, of a component or system. The system utilizes a variety of complexity index values that are assigned to each component of the system. Each complexity index value is determined according to select physical parameters of the component. The summing of the complexity index values provides a system complexity index value that can be used to accurately estimate, for example, the run life of the system. The use of individual complexity index values permits the addition, subtraction or changing of components in a given system without losing predictability of the desired aspect, e.g. run life.
Patent CA-2332363-C (CA)
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: H01F27/245
Filed: 2000-02-25
Granted: 2003-11-11
Abstract: The invention concerns an inductance arrangement or the construction of inductors, chokes and transformers with a very high power density.      Chokes are usual examples of inductance arrangements. Such a choke comprises a magnetic circuit and an electrical circuit, the latter usually comprising a copper winding. Depending on the respective area of use involved the magnetic circuit comprises laminated dynamo plates at lower and medium frequencies, while at higher frequencies it comprises for example ferrite.      The object of the present invention is to improve the cooling of the magnetic circuit, to improve the efficiency of the induction arrangement described in the opening part of this specification and to markedly reduce the consumption of material for the windings so that with the same amount of power it is possible to achieve a lower weight and a reduced structural size for the induction arrangement.      In accordance with the invention it is proposed that individual plate packs in the induction arrangement are displaced relative to each other.    That drastically increases the surface area at both sides of the iron core.      That increase in the cooling area can be easily achieved, by a factor of between five and fifteen. Displacement of the plates of the limbs give rise to highly effective cooling passages or ducts between the core and the surrounding winding.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and process for producing plastic panels. The apparatus comprises a temperature-controlled chill roll with peripheral cooling bores in the roll body. Molding/demolding strips are moved by piston/cylinder arrangements and piston rods which move through bores through the roll body. The melt is filled into molds of the molding/demolding strips by the counterpressure between the shaping roll and a counterroll.      During filling, the strips are pressed against the flat faces of the roll body. After cooling down, the plastic panel produced is released in a nondestructive manner by opening the molding/demolding strips. A plastic panel produced on such a calender has undercut anchoring studs, web profiles or other forms of attachments, which are formed integrally with the plastic panel.
