Patent CA-2285655-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FAIRLES GORDON ELFORD
IPC: F16L37/34
Filed: 1999-10-06
Abstract: A novel hose coupling for a liquid transfer system is provided. The coupling comprises a connector portion adapted to lockingly engage an adapter on a receptacle, such as a gas tank, and a handle portion. The handle is proximate to a releasing member which is oriented for manipulation by a hand holding the handle. The releasing member is moveable between a first engaged position in which the coupling is lockingly engaged with a receptacle adapter and a second disengaged position in which the coupling is released from locking engagement with the adapter. Accordingly, the coupling is disengaged from locking engagement with the adapter when the release member is displaced from the engaged position to the disengaged position. The coupling allows one-handed, ambidextrous use, providing a coupling operator with greater maneouverability which is advantageous particularly in instances where receptacle access is limited.

Abstract: An adjustable sealing sleeve for sealing a jointed connection is designed in the form of an elastically deformable bellows.      On the two ends of the bellows, there are axially aligned ring flanges, which fix the sleeve on a cylindrically shaped fastening flange, and on a shaft, using a muzzle hoop. For fixing fastening flanges of different sizes, several ring flanges have stepped diameters and are lined up in a row. A radially inwardly drawn rib is shaped by molding on the inner end of the ring flange. The rib sealingly rests against the face side of the fastening flange. For achieving an adequate sealing effect, the inside diameter of the rib is smaller than or equal to the inside diameter of the next-smaller ring flange. At least one elastically deformable bulging extends all around between each of the ring flanges.

Title: A liquid container having a liquid consumption detecting device therein
Inventor: TSUKADA KENJI
IPC: B65D25/56
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: An ink cartridge serving as a liquid container, comprises a liquid sensor having a piezoelectric element which detects a consumption state of the liquid contained in the container, and a consumption data memory as a memory means. The consumption data memory is a rewritable memory which stores consumption related data which are related to the detection of the consumption state using the liquid sensor. The consumption related data are, for example, consumption state data as a result of the detection. Even when the ink cartridge is removed, the consumption state data can still be utilized. The consumption related data may be a detection characteristic detected depending on the consumption state of the liquid. Based on this detection characteristic, the consumption state is detected utilizing the liquid sensor. The consumption state can be detected irrespective of individual differences of the ink cartridges.

Patent CA-2317079-A1 (CA)
Title: Graduated release valve
Inventor: STAHMER ULF
IPC: B60T15/18
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: An apparatus incrementally reduces pressure in a first volume in response to an increase in pressure in a second volume. A valve body defines a bore that houses a piston and supply and return passages that communicate with first and second ends of the bore, respectively. The valve body also defines a release passage that connects the bore with the first volume and an exhaust passage that connects the bore with atmosphere. An inlet valve opens when pressure in the second volume increases relative to pressure in the supply passage. An outlet valve opens when pressure in the second volume decreases relative to pressure in the return passage. The piston is biased in a closed position against the first end and defines a passageway through which the first and the second ends communicate. When pressure increases in the second volume, the inlet valve opens causing the first end to pressurize and move the piston to an open position in which the release and exhaust passages communicate. This allows the first volume to vent gradually to atmosphere. As the pressure gradually equalizes between the first and second ends via the passageway, the piston returns to its closed position thereby discontinuing communication between the release and exhaust passages so that the first volume is cut off from atmosphere. When pressure decreases in the second volume, the outlet valve opens causing pressure to equalize between the supply and return passages via the passageway and to approximate the pressure in the second volume.

IPC: H03K23/54
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: A high-speed wide range counter for Automated Test Equipment applications is divided into two separate, parallel counting blocks for counting over a wide  range of count values including short and minimum counts while optimizing gate utilization. The first counting block based on pipeline logic circuitry is used to perform lo ng counts and the second counting block based on wide parallel logic circuitry is used to perform short counts. The two blocks operate one at a time, exclusively of each other. The ir outputs are combined to provide a final count value. The overall counter is optimize d for high speeds as required in today's ATE applications since the combinatorial logic  delay with polynomial counter decoding stages is avoided in the case of short count values. The counter also supports loading on a cycle-by-cycle basis.
