Title: Two-Way Draining Valve for Coffee Maker Machines
Inventor: RIBEIRO VALDEMAR M
IPC: A47J31/46
Filed: 1993-12-07
Abstract: A two-way draining valve for coffee making machines includes an L-shaped housing containing a chamber, an inlet opening for delivering water to the chamber from a pump, an outlet opening arranged in an upper leg of the housing for delivering water from the chamber to a boiler inlet, and a draining bore arranged in a lower leg of the housing and communicating with the chamber. A spherical rubber valve ball is arranged within the chamber and is movable with respect to the draining bore in response to changes in pressure in the chamber.

Title: Aquatic weed harvester
Inventor: NIZNIK RONALD W
IPC: A01D44/00
Filed: 1994-07-05
Abstract: Aquatic weeds constitute a nuisance of considerable magnitude, particularly in the inland waterways of temperate areas where the weeds can grow by as much as inches a day.          Typical attempts to control such weeds involve the cutting of the tops of the weeds which, at best, provides a temporary solution to the problem.  A weed harvester which provides a long term solution to the problem includes an elongated boom mounted on a vehicle, a pair of large wheels mounted on the ends of the boom, an endless chain passing around and driven by the wheels, a drive for moving the chain longitudinally around the wheels while rotating the chain around its longitudinal axis, and a stripper device for continuously removing weeds from the chain during a harvesting operation.     The chain is moved in a downwardly looping arc through the water, whereby the weeds become wrapped around the chain for continuous harvesting, and then the chain and weeds pass through a centralizer in the boom into a stripper where weeds are removed from the chain, and then through the drive where the chain is impelled longitudinally while being rotated around its longitudinal axis.

Patent CA-2134285-A1 (CA)
Title: Slick line casing and tubing joint locator apparatus and associated methods
Inventor: KILGORE MARION D
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 1994-10-25
Abstract: A detector structure is used to sense and log the joints in a downhole jointed tubular structure, such as a well bore casing or production tubing, in a subterranean well. The detector is moved through the jointed tubular structure on an elongated positioning member, representatively a slick line, through a series of joints to be logged. As the detector passes through each joint it electromagnetically senses the joint and responsively generates an electric output signal. The output signal is used to momentarily cause a drag structure portion of the detector, in cooperation with the interior side surface of the tubular structure, to momentarily create a detectable tension change in the elongated positioning member. Alternatively, a pyrotechnic or compressed gas device may be used to create the detectable changes in response to the generation of the electrical output signals. These tension changes, which may be either tension increases or tension decreases, serve as mechanical output signals transmitted upwardly through the positioning member, and may be plotted on a strip chart recorder at the surface to record the joint locations and correlate them to the lowered depth odometer readings of the detection system.      Using this joint detection apparatus, correlative joint logging procedures may be carried out for tool setting purposes without the necessity of utilizing an electrical conductor line.

Inventor: BOULANGER PIERRE
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1994-11-15
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A method is provided for hierarchical segmentation of range images. First, an initial partition of small planar regions using a robust fitting technique constrained by depth and orientation discontinuities is generated. From the initial partition, represented by an adjacency graph structure, regions are grouped into larger and larger regions until an approximation limit is reached. Bayesian decision theory is used to determine the local optimal grouping and the geometrical complexity of the approximation surface. A hierarchical structure is generated that can be used to represent objects with a varying level of detail by scanning through the hierarchical structure generated.

Patent CA-2137179-A1 (CA)
Title: Gas turbine vane cooling system
Inventor: CHEN ALLEN G
IPC: F02C7/08
Filed: 1994-12-02
Abstract: A cooling system for stationary vanes in the turbine section of a gas turbine.   Combustors for the turbine are disposed in a chamber that receives compressed air from a compressor section. This compressed air forms both combustion air  and  cooling  air.    The  cooling  air  portion  of  the compressed air is recirculated through the vanes by bleeding it from the chamber and further pressurizing it, after which it flows through a cooling air flow path in the vanes, thereby resulting in the cooling of the vanes and the heating of the air.  The heated air is then returned to the chamber where it mixes with the incoming combustion air, thereby giving up a portion  of  the  heat  transferred  from  the  vane  to  the combustion  air.    As  a  result,  the  temperature  of  the combustion  air  is  increased,   thereby  increasing  the thermodynamic efficiency of the gas turbine.   The cooling scheme provides cooling to the vane inner and outer shrouds, as  well  as  the  airfoil,  by  means  of  circumferentially extending holes in the shrouds that connect with a cooling air cavity in the airfoil.

IPC: A63H17/385
Filed: 1995-01-25
Abstract: An extremely simple gear system is disclosed whereby a pair of output gears may be controlled so as to rotate in the same or opposite directions.  The gear system is particularly useful as the steering system for a toy vehicle in which a reversible motor drives a pair of steering gears in opposite directions on the same axis.  A direction-control element is disposed on the same axis as that of the steering gears and is axially moved from first to second positions by cam mechanisms when the rotational direction of the motor is reversed.  The direction-control element engages only one of the steering gears at a given time whereby a toy vehicle with the steering apparatus is controlled by changing the rotational direction of the motor such that the vehicle moves ahead or makes a turn.
