Inventor: SOGA YOSHINOBU
IPC: F16H61/662
Filed: 2007-06-20
Abstract: In a vehicular belt-driven continuously variable transmission, belt squeezing force is inhibited from becoming excessive and a safety factor, with respect to belt slip, of belt squeezing force applied to a transmission belt (48) is reduced to a value that is less than or equal to 1.5 by reducing a pressure receiving area (SOUT) of an output side hydraulic cylinder (46c). As a result, a centrifugal hydraulic pressure canceller chamber on a secondary pulley side (46) can be eliminated thus simplifying the structure of the vehicular belt-driven continuously variable transmission, while belt squeezing force can be appropriately controlled.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and device for reducing exposure to undesirable electromagnetic radiation. The device uses a target antenna to capture certain radiation from an active emission source, such as a cell phone when it is transmitting or a microwave oven when it is cooking. The target antenna is tuned to the frequencies of the undesirable radiation emitted from the emission source. The device converts the captured radiation into an electric current, and dissipates the collected current by spending it to operate a thermal, mechanical, or electrical device. In the preferred embodiment, the current is directed to an LED display that lights up when supplied with the current, serving a secondary purpose of showing the user that the device is working.

Patent CA-2672605-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BABBITT WILLIAM M
IPC: C03B37/02
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: The present invention provides improved cooling of a veil of glass fibers by using a combination of nozzle assemblies (10). The nozzle assemblies include air caps of differing configurations to control the penetration of the spray into the veil (60). One suitable spray configuration is a nozzle assembly having punch air cap (12A) that creates a narrow exit angle, high velocity flow of droplets to penetrate the veil to cool the fibers at the interior. Another suitable configuration is a nozzle assembly having a flat air cap (12B) that creates a wide exit angle, low velocity, dispersed spray pattern to cool the exterior of the veil. Preferably, the flat air cap creates a very fine particle size to increase the cooling efficiency of the spray. By using the cooling ring (54) of the present invention, lower levels of binder to be applied to the fibers and environmental emissions from the plant may be reduced.
