Patent CA-2289747-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAGAN WILLARD F
IPC: B60R22/38
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A conventional webbing-locking inertia reel is modified by integration of a device for the prevention of slap-back lock of the inertia reel upon excessively rapid retraction of the webbing worn by a seat occupant as a safety belt and/or harness. The device also slows the retraction of the webbing enough to prevent a hard collision of the webbing stop at the inertia reel. This is accomplished by interacting the reel shaft with specially designed damping disk (52) so that both the shaft and the damping disk rotate counterclockwise when an external force pulls the webbing from its rotatable spool, while simultaneously the shaft also interacts with a conventional housed return spring, causing it to wind and build up a rewinding force, which, when the external force is removed or ceases, causes rotation of the shaft, spool, and damping disk clockwise and rewinds the webbing on the spool.  The damping disk is installed in a damper housing section (70) filled with a special high-viscosity synthetic grease so that damping occurs when the damping disk (52) is rotated, due to the shear of the grease that occurs when the two surfaces, that of the damping disk and the housing wall, move relative to each other.

IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: A hydrogen production plant includes an electrochemical autothermal reformer (EATR) (200) that provides hydrogen to an electrochemical hydrogen compressor (100). The EATR includes an autothermal reformer region (210), a mixed ion conductor membrane (220) or metal or metal alloy membrane, and an anode supply region (230).

Filed: 2000-08-29
Abstract: A piezo-based device is attached or otherwise mounted on a driveshaft tube or other component of a drive train assembly for reducing the amount of vibrations that are generated therein during operation.. The piezo-based device is used to dampen these vibrations by converting the physical vibratory motion of the driveshaft tube into an electrical current that is dissipated through a resistive element as heat.  By varying the magnitude of the resistive element, the center dampening frequency of the piezo-based device can be varied as needed for the particular driveshaft tube and the drive train assembly. If desired, an inductive element may be provided with the resistive element to dissipate the electrical current. The magnitude of the resistive element may be varied by a controller in response to the magnitude and/or frequency of the vibrations sensed by a sensor. Alternatively, the stiffness of the piezo-based device may be controlled by an electrical current generator that can be operated by a controller in response to the magnitude and/or frequency of the vibrations sensed by a sensor. The piezo-based device may be mounted on either an exterior or interior surface of the driveshaft tube. Alternatively, the piezo-based device may be embedded within or formed integrally with the driveshaft tube. If desired, a plurality of such piezo-based devices may be provided on the driveshaft tube.
