Title: Pressure biased clutch mechanism for locks
Inventor: DOUCET CHRISTIAN
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A lock mechanism is mounted in a housing in which a latch bolt is guidingly retained and having an engageable end spring biased outwardly of a side wall of the housing. A bolt retracting mechanism is secured to a spindle adapted to retract the free end of the bolt within the housing. A driver hub is connected to the spindle and a motor driven clutch mechanism is provided for interconnecting the driver hub to a driven hub adapted to retract the bolt when the clutch mechanism is actuated to a bolt retracting position.      When the clutch mechanism is actuated to a bolt engaged position it disconnects the driven hub from the driver hub.      The clutch mechanism has an articulated spring biased linkage to permit the clutch to move to the bolt retracting position regardless of the position of the driver hub which is connected to the spindle which is rotatable by the lock handle, or to move to the bolt engaged position regardless of the position of the driver hub.

Title: Apparatus and method for evaluating quality of granular object
Inventor: TAKASHITA SATORU
IPC: G01N21/85
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: A quality evaluation method for granular objects includes the steps of: irradiating the objects from a front side and a back side thereof; taking a reflection light image and a transmission light image from both the front and back sides of the irradiated objects: obtaining optical information of the objects by image-processing the reflection and transmission light images; obtaining shape information of the objects based on the optical information; determining the quality of each of the objects based on the optical information and the shape information; and counting the numbers of the objects per quality and obtaining ratios of the objects per quality against the total number of the objects. Samples images of the objects per quality are prepared. The numbers and ratios of the objects per quality and the sample images are displayed or printed out. One side of the granular objects may be irradiated by separate light sources that are turned on/off simultaneously or independently with each other. The separate light sources, in combination, form a circular or ring-like light source. By so doing, the detection of crack in the object is highly enhanced.

Patent CA-2313025-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHUAH MOOI CHOO
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: A Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) receiver performs a receiver initiated recovery algorithm (RIRA) when the number of lost or out-of-order payload packets exceed a predetermined value. In particular, the receiver maintains a number of variables:  the "next sequence number expected to be received" (Sr) value, and Snl, which stores the value of the currently received "next sent" (Ns) sequence number from the latest received packet. When the value of Snl > Sr + adjustment, the receiver portion resets the value of Sr to the value of Snl and passes all packets to the upper layer of the protocol stack. The value of the adjustment variable represents the number of packets that may be dropped or out-of-order at the receiver before the receiver initiates recovery. The receiver also sends (either via piggybacking or a zero-length message) an ACK packet to inform the sender of the new Sr value at the receiver.

Abstract: An automatic dropped call reconnection method in a mobile communicating system is described. In the method of reconnecting a communication link terminated by a service impediment during service between a mobile terminal of a first subscriber and a terminal of a second subscriber communicating with the first subscriber through one of a plurality of base stations (BSs) connected to the mobile terminal and at least one of a plurality of mobile switching centers (MSCs) connected to the BS in a mobile communication system having the plurality of BSs and the plurality of MSCs, an MSC contacts a location register which registers the previous location of the mobile terminal when one of the plurality of BSs and the MSC connected to the BS receive a location registration request message from the mobile terminal after the service impediment. Then, the MSC determines whether information about the mobile terminal registered in the location register indicates service in progress, and attempts reconnection paging with the mobile terminal to thereby reinitiate the terminated service between the mobile terminal of the first subscriber and the terminal of the second subscriber, if the mobile terminal information indicates service in progress.

Abstract: A weed harvester has a frame. Downwardly directed air nozzles are mounted on the frame. The frame has buoyancy tanks which may be filled with water to allow the frame sink to the floor of a water body. Air supplied to the air nozzles form an air compressor escapes from the air nozzles as air jets. The air jets scour the floor of the water body of vegetation. The vegetation is carried to the surface in a column of rising air bubbles where it can be collected. The weed harvester may be pulled along the floor of a water body with a boat, a shore mounted winch, a tractor or the like. The air nozzles are preferably on spring loaded mounts so that they are not damaged if they encounter underwater obstacles. The weed harvester preferably includes a V-shaped air driven tiller which moves debris out of the path of the weed harvester.

Abstract: A substrate antenna (400) that includes one or more conductive traces (402) supported on a dielectric substrate (404) having a predetermined thickness. Appropriate dimensions are selected for the lengths and widths of traces, based on the wavelength of interest, connecting elements, and space allocated. The supporting substrate (404) is mounted offset from and generally perpendicular to the ground plane (502) associated with the device with which the antenna is being used.  The trace is electrically connected to a conductive pad (408) on one end. A signal feed (410) for the antenna is coupled to the conductive pad (408). The substrate antenna employs a very thin and compact structure which provides appropriate bandwidth. Antenna compactness and a greater variety of useful shapes allow the substrate antenna to be used very efficentiyl as an internal antenna for wireless devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of measuring properties of paper and an arrangement in a paper measuring apparatus. The measuring probe (4a, 4b) of the measuring apparatus is kept at a distance from the surface of the paper (2) by feeding medium between the measuring probe (4a, 4b) and the paper (2) through the measuring probe (4a, 4b). The pressure (P) of the medium to be fed, the dimensions of the feed hole (6a, 6b) and the measuring probe (4a, 4b) and their distance (ho) from the surface of the paper (2) are arranged in such a way that after the medium is discharged from the feed hole (6a, 6b), the flow rate increases so as to produce underpressure which generates a force between the paper (2) and the measuring probe (4a, 4b), which force (F) tends to move them towards one another. The feeding of the medium generates a force between the measuring probe (4a, 4b) and the paper (2) forcing them away from one another, whereby the measuring probe (4a, 4b) and the paper (2) settle in a state of equilibrium determined by said forces.

Abstract: An improved fluid balance ring is provided with a plurality of standpipes within the cavity of the balance ring. The standpipes each have an open upper end spaced from the upper wall of the balance ring, and an open lower end extending through the bottom wall of the balance ring. The balance ring includes an inlet opening so that the ring can be substantially filled with water during the fill cycle of the tub. When the spin cycle of the tub begins, the added mass of the balance ring assists in getting the tub to the critical speed with minimum deflection. After reaching the critical speed, approximately 1/2 of the water is drained through the standpipes due to the centrifugal force and the remaining fluid moves to a balance position in the fluid ring to counter-act any unbalanced loads in the tub. In an alternative embodiment, the standpipes are replaced with drain openings in the top wall of the balance ring.
