Abstract: An electrical generator including a magnetic field generator and at least one energy converter for converting energy present in fluid flows into vibrations or oscillations. The converter includes a flexible membrane having at least two fixed ends. The membrane vibrates when subject to a fluid flow. One of the electrical conductor and the magnetic field generator is attached to the membrane and configured to move with the membrane. The vibration of the membrane caused by the fluid flow causes a relative movement between the electrical conductor and the applied magnetic field. The relative movement causes a change in the strength of the magnetic field applied to the electrical conductor, and the change in the strength of the magnetic field applied to the electrical conductor induces a current flowing in the conductor.

Abstract: A hose reel guide device including a base, a housing structure, a static shaft, a guide wheel, a tracker body, and a roller assembly. The base includes a static shaft mounted on a housing structure which is capable of pivoting on the base. The guide wheel is adapted to circumferentially engage a portion of the static shaft and also adapted to receive a hose. The guide wheel is configured to oscillate about the static shaft as the guide wheel translates from end to end on the static shaft, when a moving hose passes therethrough. The tracker body is mounted about the guide wheel to cooperatively move along the shaft with the guide wheel and includes a channel adapted to receive a portion of the hose. The roller assembly is positioned offset the axis of rotation of the guide wheel to maintain greater surface contact between the hose and the guide wheel so as to provide less opportunity for the hose to "jump"/skip/flail on the guide wheel and negligible drag on the hose.

Title: Debris diverter for a rotary cutter
Inventor: PRUITT MARTIN E
IPC: A01D34/66
Filed: 2009-06-04
Abstract: A rotary cutter assembly has a spindle journaled by a bearing assembly. A cutter mounting member is fixed to the spindle for rotation therewith and has an outermost annular skirt that flares radially outwardly and downwardly to a lowermost peripheral edge. The bearing housing that supports the bearing has an upstanding rib that surrounds the lower peripheral edge of the mounting member and projects upwardly beyond the same for a short distance. This overlapping relationship between the rib and the lower skirt periphery prevents the ingress of foreign materials into close proximity with the bearing assembly to thereby prolong its useful life.

Filed: 2009-09-09
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés et un appareil dacheminement de documents. Un serveur Web dapplications transmet un document à un système de gestion de distribution. Le système de gestion de distribution convertit alors le document si nécessaire (par ex. dun tableur en un PDF et en une télécopie) et envoie le document converti à une ou plusieurs destinations telles que des boîtes de réceptions demail, des imprimantes et des télécopieurs. Pour lacheminement par télécopie, le système de gestion de distribution envoie le document à un dispositif client particulier qui est associé à la destination de la télécopie. Par exemple, le dispositif client qui émet effectivement la télécopie peut se situer au sein dune entreprise et le télécopieur peut se trouver chez un client de lentreprise en question. De cette manière, les transmissions par télécopie paraissent provenir de la source appropriée (et non du système de gestion de distribution) et les frais de transmission associés à la télécopie sont supportés par lentreprise appropriée (et non par lentreprise associée au système de gestion de distribution).
