Abstract: An improved snow vehicle track suspension employing a force-distributing mechanism comprising a swingarm, a three-arm bell crank, a connecting linkage, and a telescoping limiter linkage. The force-distributing mechanism apportions cushioning force from a shock absorber to track carriage components that bear upon a lower run of an endless-loop track to establish a desired weighting distribution of the track upon the surface of the snow. The force-distributing mechanism allows the track carriage to incline and decline within a limited angular range to enable the track to maintain tractional compliance with the surface of the snow.

Abstract: An improved fluid balance ring is provided with a plurality of standpipes within the cavity of the balance ring. The standpipes each have an open upper end spaced from the upper wall of the balance ring, and an open lower end extending through the bottom wall of the balance ring. The balance ring includes an inlet opening so that the ring can be substantially filled with water during the fill cycle of the tub. When the spin cycle of the tub begins, the added mass of the balance ring assists in getting the tub to the critical speed with minimum deflection. After reaching the critical speed, approximately 1/2 of the water is drained through the standpipes due to the centrifugal force and the remaining fluid moves to a balance position in the fluid ring to counter-act any unbalanced loads in the tub. In an alternative embodiment, the standpipes are replaced with drain openings in the top wall of the balance ring.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for treating blood vessels using endovascular techniques to deliver laser energy. Percutaneous access into the vein lumen will be obtained using an angiocatheter through which a fiber optic line will be introduced. The vein will be emptied of blood using elevation of the limb, patient positioning, compression, or other means. Laser energy will be delivered into the vein lumen using wavelengths from about 532 nanometers to about 1064 nanometers. Sufficient power and duration will be used to damage the entire thickness of the vein wall, ultimately causing fibrosis of the treated blood vessel. Fibrosis of the treated blood vessel causes the blood vessel to decrease in diameter or collapse.

Filed: 2000-05-19
Granted: 2007-05-01
Abstract: A method of producing a planar waveguiding device having a core (10) and a cladding (21, 22, 23). The cladding has grooves (11, 12) directly interfacin g (15, 16) with the core (10). A layer of core glass (10) is deposited on the surface of a substrate (24). This layer is etched to produce a shaped layer which includes a first core portion (10) having the same configuration as th e intended core (10) and an expanded core portion (30) wherein the core glass extends beyond the intended core boundary. A glass covering layer (21) is deposited over the etched core glass and grooves (11, 12) are produced by etching through the covering layer (21) and into said expanded core portion (30). This removes the core glass (30) extending beyond the intended core (1 0) boundary to produce interfaces (15, 16) between the core (10) and the groove s (11, 12). All of the glasses are silica with additives to adjust the refractive index and/or the melting point.

Abstract: A power cord retaining device for a portable AC powered tool. A retaining member holds the power cord plug engaged with a mating AC power jack in the housing of the power tool. The retaining member slides in a slot within the housing of the power tool from an unlocked position to a locked position. In the locked position the power cord plug is held in place engaged with the mating power jack in the housing of the power tool. A release member having a biasing element locks the retaining member in place until it is manually unlocked by the user thereby permitting the retaining member to be moved slidably away from the power jack to permit removal of the plug from the power jack. An alternative embodiment incorporates a flexible release member which is biased into engagement with the retaining member, which therefore does not require a separate biasing element.

Abstract: Wet wiper cloth, sponge, or the like made of a foam body of a first, relatively soft foam material, whereby the foam body (2) is penetrated by diagonally-oriented foam strips (3) or relatively harder foam material. Harder supporting surfaces for the soft foam material are thereby formed within the foam body, whereby a faster and easier squeezing of the absorbed soiled water from the foam body is achieved. The foam strips can be represented by welding zones in which individual foam body parts of soft foam material are welded together. Due to the welding process, the welded surfaces become harder than the foam material itself and the desired easier squeezing out process is achieved.

Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A Statistic/probalistic process for stochastic stimulation in view of performing hierarchically nevertheless jointly the probabilistic prediction of future behaviour and/or the optimisation of productivity parameters for a number remote local industrial systems (S u(u=1...n). The local industrial systems (S u) are subjected to a common and evolutionary global environment (E) numerically described with p state variables (X t(t)(i=1...p)). On the one hand, at the level of a centralised transmitting site (U), an "smp series of probabilistic simulations" with a multi-value description of environment (E) variables (X i(t)(i=1...p)) is repetitively generated at successive instants (t o) in a centralized manner. Said "smp series of probabilistic simulations" (W~) are teletransmitted towards the whole of the number of remote local systems (S u). On the other hand, at the level of each of local systems (S u), said "smp series of probabilistic simulations" (W~) with a multi-value are collected and a specific local statistical and numerical processing is performed on said series of probabilistic simulations (W~) received in order to predict future probabilistic behaviour of local industrial systems (S u). The process according to the invention can be used with advantage in many industrial, financial, agricultural implementation, where the behaviour of decentralized industrial sites exposed to a common random environment should be optimized.

Abstract: In the field of through-casing gas detection related to oil production there is a need to identify the presence of gas in a formation. A gas detection method includes carrying out respective neutron and density logs, using neutron (12) and density (13) detectors, along a length of well. The density log is corrected for the dimensions and properties of the well casing. The corrected density log is then combined with the neutron log to compensate for regions of artificially high density outside the casing. The compensated density log is continuously calibrated against the neutron log. The dynamically calibrated density and neutron logs are inspected for crossovers that signify the presence of gas in a formation.
