Title: Measuring torque in the crankshaft of a powertrain
Inventor: LOHR RAYMOND DAVID
IPC: G01L3/14
Filed: 2004-08-16
Abstract: Torque in the crankshaft 4 of a drive line is determined by measuring strain in a disc coupling component of the drive line. A strain sensor (e.g. wireless SAW sensor) is mounted on the disc coupling component (e.g. flexplate 1 or flanged coupling (13, figure 2)) and measures strain in the disc coupling component from which the torque in the drive shaft 4 is calculated. The flexplate 1 may have a plurality of spokes 7 to which the strain gauge is attached, and the sensor communicates with a stationary coupler 3 fastened to an engine block 5 for wireless transmission of sensor signals. For the flanged coupling (13, figure 2) the sensor is mounted to a radial web (12, figure 2) formed on the flanged coupling, and the sensor communicates via rotating RF coupling (14, figure 2) and stationary RF coupling (15, figure 2).

Title: Filling wafer level packages with liquid
Inventor: BOWER BRADLEY
IPC: H01L21/44
Filed: 2004-11-03
Abstract: A liquid filling system includes a vacuum filling chamber (160) configured to receive a wafer comprising ICs or MEMs devices, a conduit (130) coupled to the vacuum filling chamber (160) and a vacuum pump (140) coupled to the vacuum filling chamber (160, 1110) through the conduit (130) the vacuum pump (140) being configured to create a vacuum within a wafer level package cavity. The vacuum filling chamber (160) includes a body (210) having a vacuum orifice (260, fig 2), a first substrate (200) sealingly coupled to the body to seal a first end of the vacuum orifice (260), and a second substrate (200) sealingly coupled to the body to seal a second end of the vacuum orifice (260). In use, a wafer is placed in the chamber (160) which is then evacuated. A liquid, which has been de-gassed in a chamber (110) is then released in the chamber (160). When pressure is restored to the chamber (160) the pressure gradient, between the chamber (160) and cavities in the wafer level package, forces liquid into the cavities, overcoming surface tension.

Patent GB-2423784-A (GB)
Title: Reversible cast manganese railway crossing
Inventor: DOCHERTY DANIEL
IPC: E01B7/28
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: The reversible crossing is made by casting the underside as a mirror image of the top of the crossing, and cutting back the apron 19. The reversible crossing incorporates flanges 1-10 on the back edge of the rail head to fasten the crossing to the baseplate. It is unsuitable to use flanges on the running edges of the leg ends of the reversible crossing, as it would obstruct the flangeway gap. To overcome this tailor made joints fashioned in the style of bull head rail will be used in conjunction with specially shaped baseplates. A single reversible crossing can be used twice; in addition solid cast reversible crossings may reduce cracking and breakages increasing the lifespan of the crossing further. This will reduce manpower, possession time & transport expenditure on the replacement of crossings.

Title: Enterprise network with fallback network mode
Inventor: BALDWIN CHRISTOPHER D
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2006-08-29
Abstract: An enterprise network includes geographically dislocated first and second network regions 202 and 206 communicating with one another through first and second networks (eg WAN and PSTN) 252 and 248 and respectively comprising first and second gateways 220 and 224 and first and second groupings of trunks. A common electronic address is associated with the second grouping of trunks. A primary media server 200 is positioned in the first network region 202 that includes an inter-gateway routing agent 260. When the primary media server is able to communicate with each of the first and second network regions over the first network, the media server controls communications between the first and second network regions and bearer channels for communications are routed over this first network. However, if the primary media server is unable to communicate over the first network, communications are routed over the second network and are controlled by a spare media server 228 in the second network region 206. In this second operational mode, the first network region transmits, as part of the establishment of a real-time or near real-time communication between first and second subscribers respectively in the first and second network regions, the common address to the second gateway 224. After the outgoing communication is answered by the second gateway 224, the first network region transmits in band to the second gateway 224 a user identifier associated with the second subscriber and/or a phantom user. The user identifier is used to establish the communication with the second subscriber.

Title: Wear resistant layer for downhole well equipment
Inventor: GAMMAGE JOHN HUDSON
IPC: C23C26/02
Filed: 2005-10-31
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, system, apparatus, and related alloy to provide a protective wear coating on a downhole component for a well through a synergistic use of a thermal spraying process in combination with a novel iron-based alloy. The thermal spraying process melts the material to be deposited while a pressurized air stream sprays the molten material onto the downhole component. The coating operation takes place at low temperatures without fusion or thermal deterioration to the base material. The wear resistance is increased while providing a lower coefficient of friction by the wear resistant layer relative to a coefficient of friction of the downhole equipment without the wear resistant layer. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed process using the iron-based alloy can apply a much thicker coating than heretofore has been able to be applied without spalling and without necessitating an intermediate buffer layer.
