Title: Hydromechanical transmission with pump having outflow prevention
Inventor: HIRAKI HIKOSABURO
IPC: B60W20/00
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: A hydromechanical transmission comprises an input shaft 3, an intermediate output shaft 8, a planetary gear mechanism 9, a first pump-motor 7, and a second pump-motor 15 connected to the first pump-motor 7. The input shaft 3 is coupled to a first element (planetary carrier 12) of the planetary gear mechanism 9, the second pump-motor 15 is coupled to a second element (sun gear 19) of the planetary gear mechanism 9 and the intermediate output shaft 8 is coupled to a third element (ring gear 16) of the planetary gear mechanism 9. The transmission further comprising a switching mechanism (synchromesh mechanism 6) for selectively coupling the first pump-motor 7 to either the input shaft 3 or the intermediate output shaft 8. An outflow prevention means, e.g. brake 39, prevents an outflow of pressure oil from the second pump-motor 15 during a switching operation is performed by the switching mechanism. Instead of the brake 39 outflow prevention may be performed by a hydraulic valve (58, fig 15) interposed between the first and second pump-motors 7, 15. The valve (58) may also serve as a selector valve when unidirectional type pump-motors are employed.

Title: Data federation among a plurality of data displays
Inventor: OKADA YUUKI
IPC: G06F3/0482
Filed: 2006-11-07
Abstract: The data federation system 100 comprises a user data display section 140 which has a classification and component specific information table, which is extracted from a three-dimensional (e.g. CAD) component database 121 and a two-dimensional (e.g. CAD) component database 131, and a component attribute data table 141 associated thereto. A federation control section 150 controls data federation among a three-dimensional component data display section 120, two-dimensional component data display section 130 and user data display section 140. A jump section 151 acquires the classification or component specific information using the classification and component specific information table 141, retrieves the three-dimensional component database or two-dimensional component database by controlling the three-dimensional component data display section or two-dimensional component data display section, and displays an image display screen of the three-dimensional component data or two-dimensional component data of the retrieved component. The invention allows data processing based on dynamic data federation among a plurality of data display means, without increasing the data volume in the individual data display means.

Title: Device for limiting standby power consumption
Inventor: STANFORD-CLARK ANDREW JAMES
IPC: H04N5/63
Filed: 2007-05-09
Abstract: A standby power consumption limiting device is provided for connection between an electricity supply and an electrical appliance of the kind having a main on/off switch, two power supply input terminals and a standby mode control circuit operable, when the appliance is switched "on", to place the appliance in a reduced power standby mode. The device comprises a standby mode detection means 102 effective to detect and indicate that the appliance has gone into standby mode and a power switching means 104 having a first state in which the electricity supply is connected to the appliance via its power supply input terminals 91 and a second state in which the electricity supply is disconnected from the appliance. A power switch control means 107 responds to an indication from the standby mode detection means that the appliance has gone into standby mode, by switching the power switching means from its first state to its second state, thereby removing power from the appliance. At this point, a test signal generating means, 105 connected to one of the appliance input terminals by the power switching means when in its second state, generates a test signal of predetermined form, said test signal being returned, while the appliance main switch is in the "on" state, via the other appliance input terminal. A test signal detection means 106, connected to said other appliance input terminal by the power switching means when in its second state, is capable of detecting the test signal returned via said other terminal, when the appliance main switch is in its "on" state and of detecting a predetermined change in the returned test signal indicative of the appliance main switch having been turned to its "off' state. The power switch control means is responsive to an indication from the test signal detection means that the appliance main switch has turned been turned "off' to put the power switching means back into its first state thereby restoring power to the appliance which will then become active when its power switch is returned to the on position.

Title: Method and device for detonating an explosive charge
Inventor: BJOERGUM STIG OVE
IPC: F42C5/00
Filed: 2007-01-03
Abstract: A method for detonation of a plug device in a fluid environment is described, which is in contact with a body, such as an ignition pellet, and it is characterised in that a number of pressure increases are exerted against the plug device, whereby each pressure increase causes a movement of a piston (10) which is radially arranged in a casing (12), which causes the casing (12) to move a fixed distance inward in the plug device with each pressure increase, up until the displacement of the casing (12) causes the piston to be displaced into a cavity (38), and the fluid environment enter; the plug device via an inlet. Also described is a plug device which is in contact with a body, such as an ignition pellet, where the plug device is arranged to detonate after a number of pressure increases that are exerted against the plug device. The plug device/ignition pellet can be applied to initiate a detonation process which leads to perforation of a pipe wall or to perforate or remove/explode plugs in oil wells or gas wells, thereby starting production from a reservoir through a pipe.

Abstract: 721,942. Gas-turbine plant ; elastic-fluid turbines. GARRETT CORPORATION. May 1, 1951 [May 10, 1950], No. 10189/51. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XXIX] The speed of a prime mover, i.e. an air or gas turbine, or electric motor, is governed by a motive power supply regulator responsive to a characteristic of the motive power as modified by speed responsive means, and damping means resists rapid response of the modifying means when actuated by the speed responsive means. As shown, the speed of an air turbine 10 is controlled by inlet vanes 58 which are movable by an angularly adjustable annular plate 56 actuated against a spring 53 by a diaphragm 46 subject on its upper face to air pressure which is related to the speed of the turbine. This pressure is determined by a speed-responsive valve 31 controlling an outlet 33 from a conduit 35, 36 connected to the air inlet 11 of the turbine and having a restriction 65. Stability of control is achieved by the damping means which consists of a conduit 42 with a leak orifice 44 and interconnecting a chamber 43 bounded on one side by a diaphragm 45 movable with the diaphragm 46, and a chamber 38 having a diaphragm 39 connected to the valve 31. Thus, a rapid movement of the diaphragm 46 in response to movement of the valve 31 in one direction causes a temporary opposing force to be applied to the valve 31 through the diaphragm 39.
