Title: Brake Status Indicator for an Electric Braking System of a Vehicle.
Inventor: YAMAMOTO DAVID T
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 2007-12-04
Abstract: System and procedure for controlling a brake status indicator 302 for an aircraft having an electric brake system (fig.1, 100). Electric activation and deactivation of the brake status indicator mimics that of legacy hydraulic brake systems. The control methodology obtains brake force data that indicates actual clamping force of the electric brake actuators (124,126,128, 130, 132,134,136,138, fig.1) parking brake lever status data (fig.1, 104) that indicates the physical position of the parking brake lever; and parking brake activation data that indicates whether the parking brake mechanisms are active or inactive. The individual indicator elements of the brake status indicator are independently and concurrently controlled using multiple processing modules/channels 304, 306, 308, 310, fig.4 of the electric brake system. Preferably the status indicator is a series of lights indicating a brake on element 314, a park brake element 316, and a brake off element 318.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a dental x-ray film package
IPC: G03C3/00
Filed: 1941-08-11
Abstract: 545,110. Dental X-ray film packages. KODAK, Ltd. Aug. 11, 1941, No. 10193. Convention date, Oct. 26, 1940. [Class 98 (i)] A dental X-ray film package having on its exterior means to indicate which side should face the source of X-rays includes in its structure on the reverse side of the film an area having a different permeability to the rays from that of the adjacent area, so that if the exposure is made in error from this side an image of the area will be formed on the film, thus preventing a mistake being made as ta the side of the jaw represented. As shown, a film S coated on both sides is backed by a sheet of metal foil M having in one corner a character X formed by a thinner area. Behind the foil is an opaque paper sheet D, and the package is closed by a wrapping W covering the other surface and having its borders folded over and stuck to the sheet D. A protuberance P indicates the side which should face the rays. Should the package be inadvertently used in the reverse position, an image will still be obtained owing to the foil M not being impermeable to the rays, but the character X will appear on the film and indicate that it was exposed in the incorrect position. The character may be alternatively formed as a perforation in the foil, or it may consist of a piece of lead or other heavy metal giving a light instead of a dark image.

Title: Fluid control valves
Inventor: ZURIK DAVID DE
IPC: F16K5/00
Filed: 1957-04-01
Abstract: 852,347. Valves. DEZURIK CORPORATION. April 1, 1957, No. 10566/57. Class 135. A rotary plug valve has a seat formed by a ridge surrounding the outlet having side portions 26A vertical and parallel to the valve axis of rotation and top and bottom portions 26B' formed by the ridge converging to an angle in the plane of the port and which are narrow compared to the width of the side portions. The rotary valve 34 is covered with resilient material R and has its cylindrical surface and the cylindrical seat 27 eccentric to the axis of rotation to the plug whereby the valve is forced on its seat in the closed position by rotation of a handle 67 and cap 13 engaging a hexagonal valve spindle 37. The cap has hooks 52 slidably engaging under a disc 53 fixed on the casing by pins 54, and the cap and valve are pressed on to the casing 12 by a spring 41 which also exerts pressure on a stuffiing-box 48 and a sealing washer 47. The handle passes through holes 81, 82 in a cap extension 62 and through a hole 73 in a member 64 pivotable between the holes 81, 82 on a pin 68. A spring 71 loading member 64 normally presses a screw 58 passing through the member and the handle on to two brake pads 55 carried in extensions 62 on either side of disc 53 whereby the valve is locked in any position. On clockwise rotation, the handle pivots on the side hole 82, rocks member 64 against its spring to release the brake pads and closes the valve. Should the valve tend to slam shut, it will rotate faster than the handle and apply the brake. On anti-clockwise rotation of the handle it pivots on the side hole 81 to release the brake and open the valve. The raised seat 27 is given its angled shape so that the same width of seat is exposed to rotation of the valve whereby solid material suspended in the fluid and caught between valve and seat is relatively evenly distributed and ensures a tight closure. The rotatable valve may be a solid plug with a through passage and with a resilient ring embedded in the plug whereby only a portion of the width of a wider seat ridge is engaged by the ring.
