Patent CA-2532045-C (CA)
Title: Rotary compressor having a discharge valve
Inventor: MANOLE DAN M
IPC: F04C28/16
Filed: 2006-01-05
Granted: 2009-09-01
Abstract: A rotary compressor having a housing, a rotor positioned within the housing defining a compression chamber, the rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation, a discharge port in the rotor in fluid communication with the compression chamber, and a valve assembly mounted to the rotor to regulate the pressure of the fluid within the compression chamber. In one embodiment, the valve assembly is canted or obliquely aligned with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor and a radial axis perpendicular to and intersecting the axis of rotation. Aligning the valve assembly in this way allows the displacement of the valve head of the valve assembly to be substantially collinear with forces acting on the valve head.

Title: Electrostatically driven latchable actuator system
Inventor: HARADA HIROSHI
IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 2004-08-25
Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: An electrostatically driven latchable actuator system has an actuator and a pair of side effectors on opposite ends of the actuator. The actuator is resiliently supported to a substrate and is movable along a linear axis between two operative positions as being electrically attracted to one of the side effectors. A latch mechanism is provided to mechanically latch the actuator at either of the operative positions. The side effectors are movably towards and away from the actuator along the linear axis between a normal position and a shifted position close to the actuator. Both of the side effectors are also resiliently supported to the substrate to be movable towards the actuator by being electrostatically attracted thereto and away from the actuator by resiliency. The moving side effector is interlocked to the latch mechanism through a mechanical link so as to unlatch the actuator in response to one of the side effectors being attracted to the actuator, and allow the actuator to move from one operative position to the other operative position to be again latched thereat.

Title: Wheel for goods wagon and wheel set
Inventor: HOEHNE WOLFRAM
IPC: B60B17/00
Filed: 2004-10-04
Granted: 2012-05-22
Abstract: The invention relates to wheels for goods wagons with small and large diameters, in addition to wheel sets equipped with wheels of this type for running gear, which is dependent on a highly passive radial positioning when negotiating curves and must remain stable at high speed. The inventive wheel profile is characterised as a result of the relatively large entry radius into the transition area from the running surface to the wheel flange by a low equivalent conicity. This enables a quieter running of the wheel set when the latter is travelling in a straight line. In curves, there is a sufficient rolling circle differential, permitting less wear and tear.

Title: Digital signature protocol
Inventor: VANSTONE SCOTT A
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1997-10-10
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: A digital signature protocol generates a signature component using a hash of an encrypted message. The component and encrypted message form a signature pair that is forwarded to a recipient. The encryption message is used to retrieve the encryption key at the recipient and authenticate information in the message. The signature pair may be applied to a data carrier as a bar code for use in mail delivery services. By utilizing a hash of the message, a reduced message length is achieved as individual signatures are not required for each component of the message.

Granted: 2016-03-08
Abstract: A method of controlling an air conditioner includes a step of controlling an opening degree of the expansion valve and/or the number of rotations of an outdoor fan of the outdoor heat exchanger such that the difference Tx (= Te - Ti) between the temperature Te of the outdoor heat exchanger and the temperature Ti of the indoor heat exchanger is within a predetermined range, in a cooling mode in a low outside air temperature environment. Specifically, the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted, with the number of rotations of the outdoor fan being reduced to be smaller than that in a normal cooling mode, and then, the number of rotations of the outdoor fan is adjusted with the opening degree of the expansion valve being fixed, thereby controlling the difference Tx to be substantially constant.
