Inventor: RICCO MARIO
IPC: H01R13/74
Filed: 2004-02-11
Abstract: A fuel tank for motor vehicles, for example an LPG fuel tank, contains inside it at least one electrical component and has a wall or a plate bearing at least one connector for connection of the electrical component with an electrical line external to the tank.        The electrical connector has a body (30) made of synthetic material or of elastomer material directly moulded on one or more conductor pins (8) so as to guarantee hermetic sealing of the tank even in the presence of a pressure jump between the internal cavity of the tank and the external environment. In the case where the body (30) of the connector is made of synthetic material, it bears seats for seal rings made of elastomer material (31, 35). In the case where it is made of elastomer material, it guarantees directly the function of tightness. In either case, there are provided means for exerting an axial compressive force on the part that performs the tightness function.

Patent CA-2480909-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREEN DUSTIN L
IPC: H04L47/30
Filed: 2004-09-08
Abstract: An implementation, as described herein, facilitates fast start-up of a new media stream while avoiding temporal interruption (i.e., "hiccups") of the presentation of that new media stream. At least one implementation, described herein, coordinates the delivery of multiple simultaneous media streams on a media-stream network. Its coordination accounts for traversal of bandwidth-restricted chokepoints; quickly stopping delivery of one or more media streams from the set of streams; quickly initiating delivery and presentation of one or more new media streams not previously in the set (i.e., a "channel change"); and producing clean playback of all of the streams in the set, despite their different timelines. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
