Abstract: A fire extinguishing access port includes a port and nozzle assembly where the nozzle has a plurality of radial outlets defining a pattern of dispersal for a fire extinguishing agent. According to a presently preferred embodiment, the port and nozzle assembly is dimensioned to be mounted in an existing mounting hole (e. g. a switch mounting hole) of an aircraft electrical panel with the nozzle residing in the rear of the panel and the port residing on the front of the panel. According to the invention, a plurality of different nozzles are provided for different electrical panels, each nozzle having a different pattern of dispersal. A fire extinguisher access port kit according to the invention includes a plurality of threaded nozzles, each with different dispersal patterns, a plurality of threaded ports which mate with the nozzles, and a plurality of different length threaded tubes which mate with the nozzles and the ports. According to the presently preferred embodiment, the nozzles are provided with a plurality if radial slots which deflect the flow of fire extinguishing agent substantially perpendicular to the direction of entry through the port. This provides excellent dispersal of fire extinguishing agent throughout the electrical compartment and also provides two unexpected advantages, prevents foreign objects from passing through the port and potentially causing a short circuit, and eliminates the possibility of blowback.

Patent CA-2353834-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMAS ERIC D
IPC: G01M15/04
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A new system and method for detecting engine malfunctions based on crankcase  pressure (150) include determining a reference value indicative of current engine operating conditions (152) and using the reference value to determine  a crankcase pressure limit (160) which varies as a function of the reference value. The sensed crankcase pressure is compared to the limit (162) to determine when a fault condition exists. The reference value is preferably a  function of engine speed (154) and requested engine torque (156) and include s a second order term multiplied by a calibratable constant which controls sensitivity of the fault determination. The sensitivity may be adjusted to provide equally detectable faults across all engine speeds and loads, to be more sensitive to faults occurring at higher engine speeds, or to be more sensitive to faults occurring at higher engine loads. The system and method control the engine based on the determination of an engine fault. Subsequent  control may include alerting the vehicle operator, reducing available engine  torque (168), stopping the engine (170) and/or logging a fault (174) for subsequent service or maintenance. Early cylinder/piston fault detection provides more time for the vehicle operator and/or the engine controller to take remedial actions to prevent more serious engine damage.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating personalized user profiles and for utilizing the generated profiles to perform adaptive Internet or computer data searches is provided. In accordance with the present invention, particular linguistic patterns and their frequency of recurrence are extracted from personal texts provided by the users of the system of the present invention and stored in a user profile data file such that the user profile data file is representative of the user's overall linguistic patterns and the frequencies of recurrence thereof. All documents in a remote computer system (30), such as the Internet, are likewise analyzed and their linguistic patterns and pattern frequencies are also extracted and stored in corresponding document profiles. When a search for particular data is initiated by the user, linguistic patterns are also extracted from a search string provided by the user into a search profile. The user profile is then cross matched with the search profile and the document profiles to determine whether any linguistic patterns match in all three profiles and to determine the magnitude of the match based on summation of respective frequencies of recurrence of the matching patterns. The documents with document profiles having the highest matching magnitudes are presented to the user as not only matching the subject of the search string, but also as corresponding to the user's cultural, educational, and social backgrounds as well as the user's psychological profile.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system including a spoolable compliant guide (30), injector (22, 23), and lubricator (40) to obtain vertical access to any oil well (51) and to insert coiled tubing (21) therein to. The spoolable compliant guide provides a substantial distance between the injector and the annular well seal (35) at the lubricator and functions as a crimp or bend resistor for the coiled tubing therein facilitating the imposition of compression forces thereon.      This enables the injector to be conveniently positioned remote from the wellhead (50), not necessarily vertically above the wellhead, on the facility with the wellheads or on an entirely separate facility, vehicle or vessel. Wellheads on land, offshore or underwater can all be accessed. Pressurized well fluids are prevented from entering the spoolable compliant guide thus decreasing the risks associated with its damage, failure or emergency disconnection.

Title: Optical motion detection for mri
Inventor: ROSHICK JEREMY JOSEPH
IPC: G01B11/03
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: Motion artefacts are a major hindrance in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging applications. The system as disclosed provides a versatile laser ranging method for the measurement of body part rotation and translation, simultaneously in three dimensions. Since optical motion detection and NMR  date acquisition are inherently independent, these two systems can function efficiently in parallel. Furthermore, using these optical motion data, real-time image artefact correction can be achieved by using appropriate parameters to change the acquisition in real time. The system uses three laser diodes mounted on a fixed platform and generating converging beams impinging on three retro-reflectors to generate three parallel but offset reflected beams the positions of which are detected by position sensing detectors providing output signals indicative of the position of the beam in the plane of the detector. A  mounting assembly for a frame of the reflectors is provided which mounts a frame supporting them on a headphone structure on the patient head. A  calculation is provided which locates the position of the frame in the coordinates of the magnet to allow the NMR experiments to compensate for detected movement of the patient's head.
