Patent CA-2352131-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FORMOSA FABIEN
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: The invention concerns tuning fork gyroscopes using a micro-mechanical structure of vibrating beams. The gyroscope comprises a micro-machined sensing element (40) having at least two excitation beams (12, 14, 16, 18) symmetrically positioned, on either side of and parallel to a sensing axis (Oy) of the gyroscope. The two beams are assembled by their ends through a transverse element (20, 22) fixed in its central part, at the sensing axis (Oy), to a frame (28, 30), by a torsional elastic return element (42, 44) countering the rotation of the transverse element about the axis (Oy). The elastic return elements are dimensioned such that the variation in temperature of their natural torsional resonance frequency follows the variation in temperature of the natural flexural resonance frequency of the beams. The invention is useful for measuring the angular speed of a moving vehicle.

Title: Adjustable row crop enclosure system
Inventor: TEMPLE ANDREW B
IPC: A01G13/02
Filed: 2001-08-07
Abstract: A retractable, plastic enclosure (30) for row crops, ideally tomatoes, comprises a pair of plastic walls (33, 34) bordering the seedbed (22) that are supported by spaced-apart ribs (40, 42). Row crops between the closed walls are shielded from extreme conditions including frost, heavy rain, freeze, hail, and winds. The multi-ply, plastic walls are formed by folding a sheet of plastic.    Arcuate ribs (40, 42) flexibly secure the walls in symmetric, spaced apart, parallel rows adjoining crops on either side of the raised seedbed. The walls may be yieldably drawn together or forced apart by drawstrings (82, 80). The ribs are formed from multiple separate strips (50, 52) that are stapled together and sandwich at least one wall layer. The drawstrings are routed between spaced-apart rib guides in a zigzag fashion. Tensioning of the lower drawstring closes the walls, sheltering the young row crops. The upper drawstring opens the walls.

IPC: H01L21/368
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: La réalisation de revêtements de surface stables peut être effectuée par pulvérisation cathodique, métallisation en phase vapeur, dépôt en bain chimique ou dépôt chimique métal-oxyde en phase vapeur (MOCVD). Ces procédés ne permettent pas toujours de garantir des couches homogènes atteignant également les surfaces internes. Le procédé selon la présente invention, qui permet donc la fabrication de couches de céramique ou d'oxyde (CL/OL) sur des substrats (S), consiste, après l'application (I) et le séchage (II) d'une substance de départ (P) appropriée, à exposer (III) la couche de substance de départ (PLD) ainsi formée à un gaz réactif humide (RG) pour convertir ladite couche en une couche correspondante d'hydroxyde ou complexe (HL), puis à traiter thermiquement (IV) ladite couche pour former une couche de céramique ou d'oxyde (CL/OL). Alternativement, pour fabriquer d'autres couches de chalcogénure à conversion accrue de matière, lesdites couches sont exposées de manière supplémentaire à un gaz réactif contenant de l'hydrogène et un chalcogène. Des couches métalliques peuvent également être produites à l'aide d'un gaz réactif à effet réducteur. Lesdits procédés peuvent être mis en oeuvre partout où il s'agit de protéger et de modifier des surfaces, également à structures ombrées, ou de déposer des couches fonctionnelles, en particulier dans la technique solaire et des matériaux.

IPC: B62D43/08
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: In handling truck tires on pickups it is known that a tire may be conveniently stored in the back of a pickup. A form of holder is supplied with this invention that is cheap, light and durable in contrast to the holder below the back of a truck that is impossible to handle with time and often needs to be cut from the pickup. In this invention a 1/4 inch steel plate plus applicable bolting holds the tire out of the way in the right front corner of the truck box. The tire holder is small, conveniently holds the tire and can be readily pressure washed. A cheap light item that will handle the calculated stress, forces and shocks involved that can be mass produced is the subject of this invention.

Abstract: A rotary position sensor which includes a molded housing with a central aperture forming a drive arm cavity, a drive arm assembly and a rotor plate. The drive arm assembly carries a circular magnet and a shunt ring and is rotatably received within the drive arm cavity. The drive arm assembly is formed with an extending stud for connection to an external mechanical lever. The rotor plate is used to close the drive arm cavity and carries a magnetic flux responsive element and one or more flux concentrators and optional flux shunt. The molded housing, drive arm assembly and rotor plate are configured to minimize air space within the drive arm cavity after the sensor is assembled. By minimizing air spaces within the drive arm cavity, the amount of ice build up within the drive arm cavity is minimized. In addition, to further prevent a condition of ice lock of the drive arm assembly relative to the molded housing, all surfaces within the drive arm cavity are formed as smooth surfaces.
