Abstract: The laser irradiation apparatus 100 comprises: a long and slender main body 101; a rotating shaft 180 that is held rotatably inside the main body 101; optical fibers 103a, 103b; multiple reflecting mirrors 181a-181f that are installed on the rotating shaft 180 and reflect the laser rays; and a drive unit 105 that drives the rotating shaft. Multiple reflecting mirrors 181a-181f are located in different positions along the longitudinal and circumferential directions of the rotating shaft 180. The slanting angles of reflecting mirrors 181a-181f move are set at angles that converge the reflected laser rays at a target area. The positions where reflecting mirrors 181a-181f reflect the laser rays move along the axial direction as the rotating shaft 180 rotates. The vicinity of the target area is maintained at relatively low temperatures. In the meanwhile, the target area is heated to a specified temperature due to the convergent of the laser rays. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The subject invention includes a fill limit control valve assembly (10) having a valve portion (16) and a float portion (18). The valve portion (16) includes a vent opening (28) for venting vapors from the fuel tank (12) to a vapor canister. A float (30) is movably supported by the float portion (18) for movement between an open position spaced from the vent opening (28) and a closed position seating a seal (56) against a seat (64) about the vent opening (28). A liquid fuel trap or discriminator member is disposed above the vent opening (28) to limit liquid fuel flow through an outlet connector (22). The liquid fuel trap includes a baffle barrier (32) surrounding the vent opening (28) and a return cup (34) having a base (36) overlying the baffle barrier (32) and a depending rim (38) surrounding the baffle barrier (32) for forcing the flow of vapor from the vent opening (28) through a U-turn. A stem (54) extends from the top end of the float (30) downwardly to a distal end (58). A guide disk (60) extends across the float cavity and is in sliding engagement with the stem (54) for guiding and stabilizing movement of the float (30) in the float cavity between the positions. A spring (62) reacts between the guide disk (60) and the top of the stem (54) for biasing the stem (54) toward the closed position. During a rollover situation, the float (30) fills with fuel and does not float as it is forced against the seat (64) by the spring (62). A steel ball (72) engages and forces the distal end (58) of the stem (54) upward in response to the vertical axis of the valve, i.e., the axis of the stem (54), moving to a predetermined angle with vertical.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for providing a constant voltage, high frequency sinusoidal output across a varying load, using either a single or multiple switch topology operating at constant frequency while maintaining high efficiency over the entire load range. This embodiment is especially suited to applications which require the sinusoidal voltage be held very close to a desired value in the presence of rapid changes in the conductance of the load, even in the sub-microsecond time domain as is common in computer applications and the like and in powering electronics equipment, especially a distributed system and especially a system wherein low voltage at high current is required. Embodiments and sub elements provide energy storage for low voltage, high current electronic loads, an ability to supply current with rapid time variation, connection of the energy storage element to the electronic load through specially configured conductors designed to minimize the created magnetic field around said conductors, providing extremely low inductance connections, permitting larger energy storage elements to be utilized, permitting energy storage to be located relatively remotely from the powered electronic load, and a steady voltage from a transformer isolated, high frequency ac to dc converter under varying load without the necessity for feedback control, among other aspects. The addition of capacitors which interact with the leakage inductance of the transformer to produce a natural regulation condition is used and the relationship between the value of the leakage inductance of the transformer and that of the added capacitances is different from the condition of resonance at the operating frequency.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol produisant des alertes basées sur une liste sensiblement réduite de paramètres d'entrée par rapport à un système et à un procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol conventionnels. Le système et le procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol créent des enveloppes d'alerte et génèrent des alertes si le sol est imminent ou si d'autres obstacles percent les enveloppes d'alerte. Le système et le procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol peuvent également générer des alertes si l'aéronef a une vitesse de descente excessive à une altitude relativement basse, et si l'aéronef descend tout de suite après le décollage de la même manière que pour des alertes Mode 1 et Mode 3. En outre, le système et le procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol peuvent générer des appels d'altitude à des altitudes prédéterminées au-dessus d'une piste d'atterrissage cible et donner l'alerte si l'aéronef semble atterrir hors d'une piste d'atterrissage. Le système et le procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol sont capables de fournir divers signaux d'avertissement basés sur une altitude de pression, des signaux GPS (système mondial de localisation), et dans certains modes de réalisation, sur la température extérieure de l'air. Ainsi, le système et le procédé avertisseur de proximité du sol peuvent être indépendants d'un radioaltimètre, d'un calculateur de données aérodynamiques (ADC), d'un récepteur radioalignement et des signaux indicatifs de la configuration du train d'atterrissage et des volets.

Abstract: A cambering vehicle includes a single steerable front wheel and a pair of rear wheels at the rearward ends of trailing arms extending from the front structure. The two arms are articulated to the front structure, and move arcuately in planes parallel to the steering column. In one embodiment the arms are linked by a yoke, and traverse equal arcuate distances in opposite directions relative to one another. In another embodiment the yoke is replaced by a transverse link, with elastomer bushings connecting the link ends to their respective arms. The vehicle operates using the principle of conservation of angular momentum, with the vehicle traveling a sinusoidal path and the operator leaning to the inside of the turn. This moves the center of gravity of the vehicle and operator to the inside of the turn, thus accelerating vehicle and operator along the turning path to increase velocity of the device.

Abstract: Carbomer or cross-polyacrylate polymers which are conventionally provided in a powdered form are converted to a granulated, pelletized or tablet form for subsequent use. The subsequent use can be in combination with a liquid medium, to form a gel from which products such as liquid detergents, cosmetics and toiletries can be produced or they can be used in the converted dry form without the addition of liquid. Conversion of the polymer into a granular, pelletized or tablet form has been demonstrated to improve handling of the dry polymer, thereby mitigating against many of the problems incurred with the use of conventional powders, as well as to improve the rate of blending of the polymer with a liquid medium. In some embodiments, the polymer is blended with an electrolyte which may be a salt, acid or acid salt having a pK which is at least 1 unit, and preferably 2 units, greater than the pK of the polymer.
