Patent CA-2677426-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DONOHOE BRIAN
IPC: F16H61/664
Filed: 2008-02-07
Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for control of a continuously variable transmission. The transmission includes a variator (10) having a movable torque transfer part (rollers 18) whose position corresponds to a variator drive ratio. A hydraulic actuator (28) is arranged to exert an adjustable force on the torque transfer part. The transmission further comprises a flow control arrangement which is arranged to receive as control inputs (a) the current position of the torque transfer part and (b) a demanded position for it. The demanded position may for example be determined by driver input. The flow control arrangement is adapted to supply through a s upply o utlet w hich c omniunicates w ith t he h ydraulic actuator a flow of fluid which is modulated in accordance with an error between the two control inputs. The flow of fluid increases with increasing error. A relief passage (110) leads from the said outlet to a pressure sink and is constricted so that fluid flow through it results in a p ressure at the hydraulic a ctuator which is g reater than that of the sink by an amount which corresponds to the rate of flow through the relief passage. The result is a mode of control of the transmission which possesses some of the advantages of both torque and ratio control.

Abstract: To prevent poaching of an Internet Protocol (IP) set top box (STB) asset or similar network computing device from one system operator to another, code executing in the IP STB not only authenticates downloaded software images using a public key provided in a serial-number assigned digital certificate, but also confirms that the serial number appears on a signed whitelist, or does not appear on a signed blacklist. The code exe-cuting in the STB further preferably enforces a rule that only the authority that signed the already-loaded whitelist/blacklist may replace it with a new list. Such a sticky whitelist/blacklist ensures that if the STB boots or resets in a new network, the existing authentication list will not be replaced by a list that is valid for a new or different network, and, as a result, that new software code images will not be authenticated.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus, systems and methods in which a pulse heater is used to apply dyes to a receiver in a rotary heating processing equipment. The pulse heater is first applied to a belt and is then removed from the belt, creating a dissipating heat. A sandwiched receiver comprising of two dyed donor papers is then subjected to the dissipating heat off the belt and also subjected to a constant heat generated from a drum to cause a phase change of the dyes within the donor papers to phase change from a solid to a gas, so the receiver can absorb and capture the phase changed dyes for a more saturated and brilliant finish.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating a dust load flow measuring system, wherein the dust delivery line (5) leading from a metering vessel (1) to the gasification reactor (4) can be connected in the delivery direction downstream of the installed dust load flow measuring device (3) instead of to the gasification reactor with a calibration line (6) leading to the input sluice (2). The input sluice is provided with a weighing unit (WG) such that the weight of the content of the input sluice can be determined. A settable differential pressure (PIC) is controlled between the metering vessel and the input sluice (10). From the set differential pressure and the change of the weight in the input sluice, the dust load flow can be determined in a time interval. The advantages are that necessary functional tests and calibration experiments in dust input systems of gasification units can be carried out with only minor additional effort under on-site delivery conditions and with sufficiently long experiment durations.
