Title: Lighting fixture with emi/rfi shield
Inventor: HAWKINS JAMES
IPC: F21V17/00
Filed: 2007-03-28
Granted: 2011-11-22
Abstract: A lighting fixture comprising for use in an environment which requires protection from EMI/RFI emissions. The fixture comprises a body forming a light-emitting opening, lighting components including at least one lamp in the body, a lens covering the opening, and a conductive grid across the opening, the grid being separate from the lens, electrically connected to the body, and positioned between the lighting components and the opening.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlling colour and colour temperature of light generated by a digitally controlled luminaire
Inventor: ROBINSON SHANE P
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2005-11-23
Granted: 2014-01-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling the correlated colour temperature (CCT) or colour of light produced by an array of light-emitting elements by providing multiple selectable paths for the flow of drive current. The apparatus includes a primary path comprising primary light-emitting elements, and one or more secondary paths comprising secondary light-emitting elements that are used for compensation or correction of the colour of light emitted by the primary light-emitting elements. A plurality of control means, for example switches are used to direct current through particular paths. During operation, the drive current primarily flows through the primary light-emitting elements and is redirected, periodically for example, to a secondary path comprising light-emitting elements of a particular colour that is desired in addition to the colour produced by the primary light-emitting elements.

Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a combined pump rod clamp/BOP for use in a wellbore. The pump rod clamp/BOP is capable of supporting the weight of the pump rod, preventing axial or rotational movement of the rod, and simultaneous preventing fluids from escaping from the well, while maintaining electrical conductivity between the BOP and the polish rod. The pump rod clamp/BOP features rams having an arcuate channel for clamping a pump rod. The rams include a gripping non-metallic material non-releasably disposed on the engaging face of the ram. The non-metallic material can coat the entire engaging face of the ram, the arcuate channel only, or part of the arcuate channel. The non-metallic gripping material prevents the rams from damaging the pump rod when they engage the rod.

IPC: G07C9/00

Abstract: A system to capture and to automate the maintenance of reference signatures for automatic signature verification systems. Generally, signatures as well as the identity of a person are captured from customer opening forms or recorded when subscribing for a service, which requires automatic signature verification. The identity (example customer name) and acquired signatures are stored into a database for later signature verifications required by business transactions. Rather than storing the initial reference signatures into the database, which is a manual time consuming process, signatures are taken from valid transactions and automatically stored into the database as a kind of reference signature. In paper based transactions the signature area of the document's image is taken and stored into the database as a so called "variant" to the reference customer or service identity. In paperless transactions the signature is taken directly from the input device and stored as a variant. This leads to a significant reduction in initial manual and continuous maintenance work needed. As individuals show variations in signatures over the years or they sign in two or several different forms (example: first name and last name or only last name), the signature reference database keeps the most up-to-date signature references without manual intervention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for verifying the adjustment of a prosthetic knee joint that connects a lower leg shaft, to which a prosthetic foot can be fastened, to an upper leg shaft in a manner allowing the lower leg shaft to rotate about a joint axis in order for the prosthetic knee joint to be fastened to an end of the upper leg, the upper leg shaft being movable relative to the joint axis. A knee moment and an axial force that is effective in the lower leg shaft are measured via sensors when the prosthesis is utilized. A resulting force vector with a point of attack on the upper leg shaft is calculated from said variables. The horizontal distance and the position of the resulting force vector relative to the joint axis are also calculated, and a verification is made whether and by how much the resulting force vector lies in front of or behind the joint axis on the sagittal plane.  The invention also relates to an apparatus especially for carrying out the inventive method, in which connecting means are mounted on an upper prosthetic joint part so as to be movable on the sagittal plane between said upper part and an upper leg shaft while devices for detecting knee forces or moments are mounted on a terminal adapter or the upper part.

Abstract: A hockey stick for training a person in stick handling of a puck or other game element. The stick has an elongate upper stick portion configured to be gripped by a control hand of the person and an elongate lower stick portion having a blade member extending outwardly therefrom. An elongate coupling member rigidly couples the upper stick portion to the lower stick portion. An elongate middle stick portion is positioned between and collinear with the upper stick portion and the lower stick portion and configured to be gripped by a directional hand of the person. The middle stick portion is rotatably coupled to the elongate coupling member so that rotation of the upper stick portion causes the lower stick portion and the blade member to rotate without rotating the middle stick portion gripped by the directional hand. The middle stick portion is at least 12 inches long, and the upper stick portion is at least 4 inches long, allowing the hands to be spaced apart to provide a gripping position useful for on ice stick handling training.

Abstract: Described is a cyclone separator comprising a cyclone housing (1), a discharge duct (5) and a central tube (3) for diverting gases, said central tube (3) extends axially into the cyclone housing (1) and being composed by a number of segments (3a) which are suspended on a supporting element (15) provided in the area between the cyclone housing (1) and the discharge duct (5). The cyclone separator is peculiar in that it comprises a number of carrying means (17) which are evenly distributed and fixed to the inner side of the cyclone housing (1) and/or the discharge duct (5), and in that the supporting element (15) comprises an annular disc which is loosely fitted on top of the carrying means (17) and having an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the cyclone housing (1) and/or the discharge duct (5) so that a clearance (18) is provided between the annular disc (15) and the cyclone housing (1) and/or the discharge duct (5). Hereby is obtained a significant reduction in the heat transmission from the supporting element to the cyclone housing and/or the discharge duct so that the radial temperature gradient in the supporting element is reduced with an approximately uniform temperature over the radial cross section of the element. Hence the thermal stresses in the supporting element will be substantially reduced. This is mainly ascribable to the reduction in the contact area between the supporting element and the cyclone housing and/or the discharge duct.

Abstract: A downhole tool is disclosed that functions as an underreamer, or alternatively, as a stabilizer in an underreamed borehole. An embodiment of the tool includes one or more moveable arms disposed within a body having a flowbore therethrough in fluid communication with the wellbore annulus. The tool alternates between collapsed and expanded positions in response to differential fluid pressure between the flowbore and the wellbore annulus. In one embodiment, the tool moves automatically in response to differential pressure. In a second embodiment, the tool must be selectively actuated before it is moveable. When the tool expands, the arms are preferably translated axially upwardly, while simultaneously being extended radially outwardly from the body. The expanded tool diameter is adjustable at the surface without changing components. The arms may include borehole engaging pads that comprise cutting structures or wear structures or both, depending upon the function of the tool.
