Patent CA-2166710-C (CA)
Title: Remote tire pressure monitoring system
Inventor: MCCLELLAND STEPHEN
IPC: G08C19/00
Filed: 1994-11-22
Granted: 2004-06-22
Abstract: A system which monitors a vehicle's tire pressures and displays real-time pressure values on a dashboard display while the vehicle is on the road. An electronic unit (100) mounted to the valve stem inside each tire uses a pressure sensor (120) to periodically measure the tire pressure, and uses a transmitter (170) to transmit the measured pressure values, via RF transmission, to a dashboard mounted receiver.      The receiver controls a display which indicates to the driver the teal-time tire pressure in each wheel. The display also indicates an alarm condition when the tire pressure falls below certain predefined thresholds. The pressure values are compensated for temperature changes inside the tire, and also may be compensated for altitude changes.

Abstract: A header attachment for mounting on the straight cut header of a combine includes a guide plate which engages over the knife of the straight cut header with arms extend underneath the header so as to hold the header attachment in fixed position on the header frame. At the front of the guide plate is mounted a pair of pick-ups which are inclined slightly rearwardly and outwardly and each is independently pivotal on the guide plate so that each end of each pick-up can be raised and lowered to follow ground contour. A coulter is mounted in front of each end of each pick-up so as to be responsive to ground level while cutting the lying crop. Each pick-up includes a series of baits arranged edge to edge and held in abutting position by ribs on the inside surface of the belts which cooperate with the corresponding grooves in the outside surface of the guide rollers. The header is used to convert a straight cut header for harvesting lying crops such as peas.

Abstract: The monitoring method is applied to the switching isolators (S11,S12) of one bay of a substation having a set of distribution busbars (B1,B2) connected to at least three circuits comprising input and output bays and a busbar coupling bay. When a bay is transferred under load and its computer (C1) detects closure of its isolators, a message is sent to other computers (C2-C4) which record the value and direction of current in their own bays. When opening is detected of the isolator (S11) of the line to the busbar (B1) whose distribution is transferred, the foregoing data are memorised and the square of the interrupted current is computed.

Abstract: Paper sheets, such as tissue sheets useful for facial tissue, bath tissue and the like, are formed with a decorative pattern (3) imparted to the tissue sheet (1) by the forming fabric (2). The decora-tive pattern is incorporated into the forming fabric by a variety of means, such as stitching, silk screen-ing, printing, weaving, or overlaying a fabric with a decorative pattern onto a conventional forming fabric. The presence of decoratively-shaped areas (3) in the forming fabric (2), which are areas of relatively slow water drainage, cause corresponding areas in the resulting sheet to have a translucent appearance attributable to a relatively lower basis weight and/or different fiber composition. The decorative patterns are preferably formed in the outer or surface layer(s) of the paper sheet.

Title: Mower deck lid locking mechanism
Inventor: BENWAY RANDY EDWARD
IPC: A01D34/71
Filed: 1998-02-26
Granted: 2001-10-16
Abstract: A locking mechanism for a lid which covers an opening in a mower deck directly above blades which rotate within the deck, the locking mechanism locks the lid in a position generally covering the opening and is releasable by an operator for allowing the operator to shift the lid to a position whereat the opening is generally uncovered. A chute extends laterally outwardly from the opening, is pivotable as the chute abuts obstructions during mowing operations. The locking mechanism remains locked as the chute pivots. Thelocking mechanism includes a rod member about which the lid is pivotable between open and closed positions. A torsion spring biases the lid to pivot to the closed position and biases the lid to shift laterally. A cam member fixed with the lid includes a finger portion which abuts a blocking member for blocking the cam member and lid from pivoting from the closed to the open position. The lid is shiftable by the operator for shifting the finger portion clear of the blocking member to allow the lid to be pivoted by the operator to its open position.

Abstract: During the occurrence of an incoming voice call to a portable telephone handset within an in building telephone system, a method is disclosed for offering the voice call while the called handset is in a data session with an application.      In such a case, the data session is interrupted and the handset display and softkey information is saved to memory. The name or number of the calling party is then written to the display of the called handset while the incoming call is offered to the user. A call acceptance signal from the called handset results in the establishing of a voice communication connection between the handset and the calling party. Independent of whether the incoming call is accepted or rejected by the user of the called handset, the saved display and softkey information is restored to the called handset and the data session is resumed between the portable handset and the application once the selection is made.

Abstract: L'invention est un système d'affectation de détecteurs qui empêche l'affectation des détecteurs d'un récepteur à la même composante de trajets multiples afin d'éviter les faiblesses d'efficacité associées aux dispositifs actuels. Ce système d'affectation de détecteurs atteint cet objectif en imposant une différence de décalage ou de retard entre les décalages ou les retards affectés à deux détecteurs quelconques et, si cette différence de décalage ou de retard est violée, en ajustant le décalage ou le retard de l'un des deux détecteurs ou des deux de façon que la différence soit au moins égale à la différence imposée. Dans certaines concrétisations de l'invention, le récepteur établit une différence de décalage ou de retard entre les décalages ou les retards affectés à deux détecteurs quelconques qui reçoivent des signaux transmis par la même antenne. Si la différence de décalage est violée, les systèmes d'affectation de détecteurs ajuste le décalage ou le retard du détecteur le plus faible de façon que ce décalage diffère du décalage affecté au détecteur le plus fort d'une grandeur égale à la différence de décalage imposée au moins. Ainsi, dans la méthode de réception de la présente invention, on obtient un plus grand nombre de détecteurs de réception qui suivent un plus grand nombre de composantes de trajets multiples dans une plus grande partie du temps. L'utilisation plus efficace des détecteurs de réception obtenue avec la présente invention élargit la diversité du récepteur et améliore le rapport signal sur bruit moyen de ce dernier.

Abstract: A rotary pump coupling device is used for flushing dual rotary screw pumps. The device is in the form of a tubular housing having a first set of apertures and a pair of subs for connecting the device to the stators of upper and lower pumps of an oil production string. Within the housing is a sleeve having a second set of apertures. The sleeve is slidable between an open position when the first and second set of apertures communicate and a closed position when the first and second set of apertures do not communicate. Fingers extend from a top and bottom end of the sleeve. Protrusions extending radially outward from the fingers are received in respective upper and lower annular recesses along an inner face of the housing in open or closed positions. Camming faces on the protrusions disengage the protrusions from the upper and lower recesses when the sleeve is displaced from the open or closed positions. A collar mounted on a drive shaft connecting the upper and lower pumps engages shoulders on an inner face of the sleeve for displacing the sleeve between open or closed positions.
