Title: Method of pressure mapping for prediction of comfort in an automotive seat
Inventor: MILOSIC MARI C
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: A quantitative method of mapping of an automotive seat for pre;diction of seat comfort includes connecting a computer for storing and displaying pressure maps produced from a pressure mapping system.  The pressure mapping system includes a map placed on the seat comprising an array of resistive elements connected to a data acquisition board and utilizing pressure mapping software. A force exerted on the mat changes the resistance of the elements which are sent to the data acquisition board and converted to an array of pressure values by the software to define a pressure map. A plurality of different pressure maps are generated by different forces exerted on the seat, normalized with a common reference pressure map and stored in memory. The normalized pressure map data is then averaged and processed through a comfort analysis or prediction step which compares the averaged pressure map to the reference pressure map. The results are displayed based on a ratio difference between the averaged pressure map and the reference pressure map to quantify seat comfort. The results are rated based on total pressure loading, percent pressure loading of specified delineated areas on the seat, percent point pressures and pressure map gradient loading.

Title: Method for steam pressing composite board having at least one finished surface
Inventor: WALSH PETE
IPC: B27N3/12
Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: In a method for making composite wood products having a market ready finished side, a mat is formed of wood fibers treated with a binder. The mat is loaded into a press cavity formed between two press platens. The first press platen is a conventional hot press platen free of ports. The conventional platen can be smooth or patterned to emboss one surface of the finished product. The other press platen is a steam injection platen which has steam injection ports. The press cavity is sealed and the mat is fully consolidated. A first quantity of steam is injected through the steam injection ports into the mat at a sufficient pressure and for a sufficient time to raise the temperature of at least a portion of a thickness of the mat to 100 °C. The injected steam is allowed to vent from the mat through the steam injection ports, carrying with it trapped air and moisture. A second quantity of steam is injected from the steam injection ports into the mat at a sufficient pressure and for a sufficient time to cure the binder. The second quantity of steam is vented from mat through the steam injection ports before the press cavity is unsealed.

Title: Self-releasing clutch assembly for a vehicle door lock
Inventor: JORGENSEN GREGORY A
IPC: E05B85/00
Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: A self-releasing clutch assembly for locking a vehicle door lock. The clutch assembly (11) includes a servo-actuated input drive and a cinching output drive. A gear shaped first actuator (42) is mounted to the input drive. A cylindrical second actuator (44) is mounted to the output drive and is moveable relative to the first actuator. Four pairs of rollers (50) are interdisposed between the first and second actuators and moveable between a disengaged position and an engaged position.  With the disengaged position, the rollers rest against the first actuator and allowing the second actuator to rotate relative thereto.  With the engaged position, the rollers interlock the first and second actuators for relative concurrent movement. The clutch assembly is characterized by the first actuator including four driving surfaces (43) and the second actuator including four corresponding abutments (48). The driving surfaces engage and move the rollers from the disengaged position to the engaged position in response to movement by the input drive.  The abutments then lock the rollers between the first and second actuators to couple the input drive with the output drive thereby transferring the movement of the input drive to the output drive.  The subject invention also includes a biasing device (54) for automatically returning the rollers to the disengaged position when the driving force from the first actuator ceases.

Patent CA-2354112-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHAW DEAN W
IPC: B66C23/06
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: A pivoting rigid frame (constructed of two legs and a cross member) is used to transfer material from one platform to another. The frame, legs being pinned to the base allow the frame to rotate or pivot about the pins. The resulting motion allows the pivoting frame to move or transfer material from one location to another. (The maximum distance being twice the length of the frame leg). Rotation of this frame can be accomplished through a variety of methods. One such method involves the utilization of two hydraulic cylinders. The rod end of each cylinder is connected to the frame leg pins. The head of each hydraulic cylinder is connected to the frame and to the base through a double linkage set-up. The length and location of the links can vary to optimise the performance of the lifting frame. A winch can be added to the cross member of the frame to aid in the flexibility of the device and allow positioning of the load to become easier.

Abstract: A system and method for provisioning services for a mobile communication device are disclosed. A provisioning request including provisioning information and specifying a provisioning operation and a first communication service is prepared on the device and sent to a provisioning system. Processing of the provisioning request is dependent upon whether or not a second communication service has been activated for the device. If the device is outside a coverage area of a wireless communication network when a provisioning request is prepared, the request is stored at the device and sent to the provisioning system when the device enters the coverage area. The provisioning system preferably manages service provisioning for multiple services, any of which may be hosted by different service providers.

Abstract: Distribution of digital information, in particular audio, is controlled as follows. An information carrier (11) like a CD is distributed which has at least part of the digital information encrypted using an encryption key. A decryption key corresponding to the encryption key is also distributed to th e user, e.g. on a reserved area of the CD. The user (32) reproduces the audio on a player (31), which decrypts the information using the key. However, at lea st part of the information is only reproduced after a Personalized Access Code PAC (40) is received by the player. The PAC is generated at a remote access center (33), e.g. an internet site. A database (34) connected the center and  a player memory hold a player identifier and secret player key. The user transmits the player identifier and an information identifier identifying th e CD to the access center, and the access center calculates the PAC using the identifier and the secret player key. The PAC is transmitted to the player which verifies the PAC using its own secret player key, and enables the reproduction of PAC protected parts of the information.
