Title: Optical systems and apparatuses including bragg gratings and methods of making
Inventor: STOCKHAUSEN JOHN M
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed that incorporate Bragg gratings. Optical components and systems of the present invention include Bragg gratings produced by selectively hydrogenating one or more selected sections of an optical waveguide in general, and particularly optical fiber. Selective hydrogenation can be performed by selectively establishing local conditions in a first environment conducive to introducing greater quantities of hydrogen into selected sections than into non-selected sections, which are maintained in a second environment. The extent of selective hydrogenation and the hydrogen concentration difference between selected and non-selected section of the waveguide is a function of the temperature, pressure, and time of exposure established in the first and second environments.

Title: Constant velocity joint integrated to wheel bearing and to axially adjustable hub
Inventor: CSIK FRANK V
IPC: F16D3/223
Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: There is provided a constant velocity joint and wheel bearing arrangement for transmitting motive power to an axially adjustable drive axle hub mounted in a suspension upright for vehicles, wherein the constant velocity joint's outer race is fully integrated to the wheel bearing's rolling elements, thus transforming the constant velocity joint's outer race into the inner race of the inboard wheel bearing, all in conjunction with a method devised for wheel bearing preload adjustment. This arrangement places the inboard and outboard bearings further apart, thus hub bending moments are greatly reduced when the wheel is subjected to lateral loading. Since the constant velocity joint has full bearing support, as opposed to being cantilevered, hub bending loads are reduced or eliminated with the application of driving torque in the presence of joint angularity. This integration of the wheel bearing to the constant velocity joint's outer race permits the CV joint to be close to the wheel center plane, making negative scrub radius with low kingpin inclination easily achievable, which in turn leads to reduced camber loss at the outside wheel as steering lock is added, thus diminishing the side-to-side drive force imbalance resulting from drive torque application in the presence of ensuing body roll.

Patent CA-2369566-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SINTON JOHN B
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: A method for modeling geological structures includes obtaining seismic data,  (12), and using this data to derive an initial density model, (14). Potentia l field data is used to update the initial geophysical model by an inversion process using vector or tensor components of gravity or magnetic data, (46).  Potential field data is used to derive the lower boundary of the anomalous density zones by using an inversion process derived from the initial model o f the top topographic or bathymetric surface with the 2D or 3D density model including any zones of anomalous density, (44). The final density model from  the inversion may be further refined using the seismic data in conjunction with the model obtained by inversion of the potential fields data. The model  data are integrated two or three dimensions to determine an overburden stres s for the subsurface that includes a proper treatment of the anomalous density  zone. The seismic data can be processed in depth or time using the density model from the inversion to improve the quality of the velocity information adjacent to the anomalous bodies. The velocity measurements are used to determine the effective stress and the fluid pressure is obtained as the difference between the overburden stress and the effective stress.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for continuous variable reactive impedance control. The apparatus and method enable the continuous variation of the reactive impedance of an oscillating circuit. A reactive component, in one embodiment a capacitor, is switched into the oscillating circuit for a duration at the beginning and end of each half cycle of the oscillation frequency. Through varying the duration, the oscillation frequency is varied between the frequency that occurs without the reactive component in the circuit and the frequency with the reactive component permanently in the circuit. A controller determines the duration and controls a switch coupled to the reactive component. The apparatus and method may be used to adjust the oscillation frequency of a resonant circuit or to match the resonant frequency to a driving frequency in a driven oscillating circuit so as to improve efficiency.
