Abstract: A faucet has a spout and a pullout spray head connected to a flexible water supply tube and releasably connectable to the spout. The spout has a docking collar mounted thereon for receiving a connecting shaft of the spray head. The docking collar has an annular wall with a plurality of U-shaped slots which define a plurality of cantilevered snap fingers. Each snap finger includes a projection that fits into a groove in the connecting shaft when the spray head is docked. An elastomeric O-ring surrounds the annular wall at a point where the O- ring engages the snap fingers to bias them toward the groove. Ridges on the exterior surface of the wall retain the O-ring in place. The spout and docked spray head have parallel shoulders that define a mating plane. The projections and groove define a retaining plane. The mating plane is not parallel to the retaining plane such that rotation of the spray head about an axis normal to the mating plane will cause the projections to release from the groove.

Patent CA-2455304-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARDAGE BOB A
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the operation of downhole equipment, such as electrical submersible pumps, is disclosed. The method and system rely on the use of coiled fiber optic sensors, such as hydrophones, accelerometers, and/or flow meters. These sensors are either coupled to or placed in proximity to the equipment being monitored. As the sensor is perturbed by acoustic pressure disturbances emitted from the equipment, the length of the sensing coil changes, enabling the creation of a pressure versus time signal. This signal is converted into a frequency spectrum indicative of the acoustics emissions of the equipment, which can then be manually or automatedly monitored to see if the equipment is functioning normally or abnormally, and which allows the operator to take necessary corrective actions.

Inventor: KIRKLAND CLARE
IPC: B60G9/02
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: A vehicle apparatus comprises a frame with the axles attached to the frame such that the vertical distance between the axles and frame is constant, and the vehicle body is attached to the frame through a plurality of suspension units. The axles, attached wheels, .and frame thus move up and down together, and the movement of the frame is essentially an average of the movement up and down of all the axles supporting the frame.  Thus each axle does not exert an independent force on the vehicle body, and variations in forces experienced by the vehicle body are reduced. Wheels can be distributed across the width of the vehicle apparatus thereby distributing a vehicle weight across the width of the road surface. Outside wheels can be mounted on axle arms that pivot about a vertical axis, such that they can be pivoted out of the way to allow access to inside wheels for maintenance.

Title: Terminator by tapering fiber optic
Inventor: COTE ROLAND
IPC: G02B6/24
Filed: 2004-12-23
Abstract: A Terminator by Tapering Fiber Optic (herein after named Term Taper) made directly using a single mode optical fiber to reduce the back reflection which occurs when a guided incident optical signal encounters an index of refraction change at a glass-air transition in an installed optical fiber link. The single mode fiber has at one end, a first length of exposed fiber which is obtained by way of stripping the jacket from that portion of fiber. The bare fiber is positioned in a suitable heating apparatus in order to enable a biconical taper to be formed on that portion of bare fiber. The biconical taper contributes to obtain a return loss of better than 55 dB for any guided optical signal that propagates through the TermTaper. The TermTaper is assembled in any type of suitable mounting device.
