Title: Method and apparatus for capacitance temperature compensation and manufacturability in a dual plate capacitive pressure transmitter
Inventor: LOFGREN LYLE E
IPC: G01L13/06
Filed: 1992-10-13
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE       A two wire transmitter responsive to a pressure differential sensor includes a fixed module and a removable module.  The fixed module is adapted for connection to an analog removable module having compensation capacitance MACDA or a digital removable module having compensation capacitance CDD.  Capacitance compensation circuitry is included in the fixed module which includes a compensation capacitance CDM which is selected whereby MACDA equals CDD when the analog removable module and the digital removable module are calibrated.  This provides a pressure transfer function which is more linearized and less susceptible to temperature variations.

Title: Surface coating agent surface coating method for elastic molding die
Inventor: WATANABE AKINORI
IPC: C08G18/44
Filed: 1994-06-15
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A surface coating agent to be coated on the surface of an elastic molding die, which is a solvent solution of a polyurethane obtained by reacting a polyol with an aromatic polyisocyanate.  The surface coating agent can be coated on the inside surface of the elastic molding die to form a coating layer, thereby obtaining a molding with surface gloss.  Further, the surface coating agent can be incorporated with silicone and/or a fluorine compound to improve oil resistance of the elastic molding die, preventing the elastic molding die from being swollen by oil components of a molding material and improving durability.          When a polyether type polyol is used as the polyol, water resistance of the elastic molding die can be even further improved.  The surface coating agent using polycarbonatepolyol as the polyol has improved adhesion to the elastic molding die, thereby improving the durability.          Further, the surface coating layer can be even more securely bonded to the surface of the elastic molding die by coating the surface coating agent after primer coating, or after acid treatment, or after acid treatment and primer coating.
Patent CA-2127780-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CECIC DENNIS
IPC: G08B29/18
Filed: 1994-07-11
Abstract: A motion detecting system is disclosed where the signal from the transducer is analysed in a manner to distinguish between actual motion indicative of an intruder, typical noise expected for the area under supervision and the transducer and a signal which indicates a trouble condition (circuit failure, masking, or other trouble condition having a known signal signature).  The system samples the signal to provide a simplified representation of the actual signal.  The results of the sampling process for a given sample period allows good assessment of the actual conditions of the supervised area. In a preferred embodiment a host of experiment segments are compared within the sample period for change therebetween with the amount of change accumulated for the sample period.  This measure of change particularly at different magnitude levels provides a reliable basis for assessing alarm and trouble conditions.  This approach can also be combined with other approaches for recognizing trouble conditions and only producing a trouble output signal based on a combined analysis of the outputs of the various approaches.
Patent CA-2134314-A1 (CA)
Title: Vessel turret mooring system
Inventor: POLLACK JACK
IPC: B63B27/34
Filed: 1994-10-25
Abstract: A vessel with a rotatable turret thereon is moored in a manner that minimizes turret tilt while avoiding the need to maintain precisely concentric upper and lower turret bearings. A mooring structure (152, FIG. 7) is formed by a group of mooring lines (162, 164) such as chains, with the upper ends of the lines coupled to the vessel through a connecting apparatus (154) that comprises a group of arms (166) each connected to a corresponding one of the lines. Each arm is pivotally mounted (at 170) on the turret to hang therefrom, so the arm transmits primarily vertical forces to the turret and so the turret bearing (185) has to support primarily vertical forces. Each arm carries a bearing part (174) that presses horizontally against a vessel lower bearing ring (182) mounted directly on the vessel hull independently of the turret. Substantially the entire horizontal components H of mooring force are transmitted from the arm bearing parts to the lower vessel bearing ring, so the horizontal force components are not transmitted through the turret. As a result,the turret does not tend to tilt, and the vessel lower bearing ring (182) does not have to be mounted precisely concentric with the upper bearing.

Title: Mechanism capable of varying the angle of inclination of a surface
Inventor: HWU CHYN-HERNG
IPC: F16H21/44
Filed: 1995-01-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanism capable of varying the angle of inclination of a surface, in particular, to a mechanism wherein variations in the angle of rotation of a particular component would result in the variations in the angle of inclination of another component.  By such arrangement, the acting area of the mechanism can be radially extended or retracted. The mechanism comprises primarily a swing bar, an extendable bar, a push bar, a rotatable bar, a connecting bar, a support bar, and a plurality of fulcrums. In the mechanism, the swing bar and rotatable bar are provided with a fixed fulcrum each such that these bars can only swing about the fixed fulcrums. The remaining components are coupled to each other by means of movable pivots, so that the swing bar may change its angle of rotation to extend the extendable bar radially. If the extendable bar is replaced by an extendable plate, an extended area extending in the radial direction will result.

Filed: 1995-07-28
Abstract: A power control circuit has a saturation preventing control loop constructed of a variable gain amplifier, an RF power amplifier, a directional coupler, a detecting circuit, a comparator, a switch, an adder, and so forth.  When the signal level of an output signal of the comparator is "L", the switch is turned on.  When the signal level of the output signal of the comparator is "H", the switch is turned off.  A system power control loop is constructed of a system power control terminal, an adder, a variable gain amplifier, and so forth.          Since the saturation preventing control loop is provided with the switch, only when the signal level of the amplified signal is larger than a predetermined reference value, the saturation preventing control loop operates.  Otherwise, the system power control loop can properly operate corresponding to the system power control signal supplied from the system power control terminal.
