Title: Vehicle suspension and rotary height control valve for same
Inventor: CONAWAY RICHARD L
IPC: F16K11/085
Filed: 1999-08-30
Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: A height control valve is preferably adapted to be mounted in a trailing arm suspension and fluidly interconnected to a source of pressurized air and to an air spring. The height control valve comprises a housing having a cylindrical bore, a supply port, an exhaust port and an air spring port each of which extends through the housing and fluidly communicates with the bore. A rotor is preferably rotatably mounted in the bore and interconnected to the arm wherein pivotal movement of the arm rotates the rotor with respect to the housing between first, second and third rotational positions. A plurality of seals is preferably located between the rotor and the bore defining a flow passage between the bore and the rotor wherein in the first rotational position, the flow passage isolates the air spring port from both the supply port and the exhaust port, in the second rotational position the flow passage interconnects the air spring port with the supply port, and in the third rotational position the floe passage interconnects the air spring port with the exhaust port.

Abstract: A coupling device which is adapted to couple a towed vehicle such as a trailer to a towing vehicle such as a truck. The coupling device is designed to be used with many conventional receiver structures that are mounted to towing vehicles, the receiver structures being of the type that normally receive an elongated square insertion member which carries a ball hitch. The coupling device of the present invention is adapted to be inserted into the same receiver structure and is designed to carry a ball hitch, but the coupling device has many advantages over the conventional receiver insertion member because it is extendable in a longitudinal as well as lateral direction so that the towing vehicle does not have to be perfectly aligned with the hitch of the towed vehicle in order to couple the two together.

Title: Vented lead blade
Inventor: VAN ESSEN ROY
IPC: D21F1/54
Filed: 2001-09-04
Granted: 2008-03-11
Abstract: A vented lead blade to be located in a papermaking machine so that the stock jet impinges the forming fabric at, or near to, its trailing edge, serves to bend the forming fabric before it enters the forming section, has grooves to vent a substantial proportion of any air trapped in the wedge shaped space between the surface of the forming fabric and the surface of the stock jet, and at least some of any liquid carried with the air. The vented lead blade enables the forming fabric to be positioned so that the angle of impingement of the stock jet onto the forming fabric can be minimized to substantially zero; facilitates reduction of the unsupported length of the stock jet; and can be used in an open surface forming section with a single forming fabric, or in the forming section of a two fabric papermaking machine.

Title: Method and apparatus for integrating guaranteed-bandwidth and best-effort traffic in a packet network
Inventor: DRUCKER KEVIN D
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2001-12-28
Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: A scheduling apparatus flexibly integrates guaranteed-bandwidth (GB) and best-effort (BE) flows and comprises a combination of a primary weighted--round-robin (WRR) scheduler (PWS) and a secondary WRR scheduler (SWS).  The PWS distributes service to the individual GB flows and determines the amount of service that the BE flow aggregate should receive during each frame.    The SWS takes care of fairly distributing the service share of the BE  aggregate over the individual BE flows. The scheduling apparatus divides the service frame in two subframes. In the first subframe, the PWS fulfills the bandwidth requirements of the GB flows. In the second subframe, the SWS distributes fair service to the BE flows. For each frame, the duration depends on the amount of bandwidth allocated to the GB flows and on the number of GB flows that are backlogged at the beginning of the frame. The amount of bandwidth globally available to BE flows (i.e., the duration of the second subframe) is dynamically adapted to the backlog state of the GB flows, increasing when the GB-flow activity is low, and decreasing when the GB-flow activity intensifies.
