Patent CA-2512318-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOZDRAS MARK S
IPC: F28F13/12
Filed: 2005-07-18
Abstract: A corrugated fin or turbulizer for a heat exchanger comprises a series of corrugations with parallel side walls. The side walls are provided with a series of parallel slits between which one-sided or two-sided louvers are defined. Each of the louvers has first and second edges extending along an adjacent pair of slits, and at least one bend located between the edges, thereby causing at least one of the edges of the louver to project outwardly of the plane of the side wall, and providing the side wall with improved crush resistance. The corrugations may preferably be rectangular or trapezoidal in form, having generally flat top and bottom surfaces defined by two closely-spaced bends. The top and bottom surfaces may preferably be provided with protrusions, at least some of which extend close to the bends. This assists in creating localized areas of weakness along which the bends can be formed cleanly.

Title: Corrective eye-glasses
Inventor: VIKTOR MIKE
IPC: G02C7/16
Filed: 2005-08-18
Abstract: The lens of the subject corrective eyeglasses obstructs the vision of a preselected area but not the whole of the wearer's stronger eye, either by impairing his vision or by entirely blocking it. When the vision is so obstructed, the wearer's weaker eye is forced to compensate for the stronger eye's loss by taking over the area of sight not visible by the stronger eye. The lens may be obstructed by applying over the preselected area of the lens a coating which distorts or blurs the object seen by the eye. Alternatively an opaque coating may be applied to the preselected area to entirely block the object. As a further alternative, a curvature may be formed in the front and back faces of the lens to obstruct the lens. Whatever means is used for obstructing the lens, the wearer is forced to use his weaker eye to see the object impaired or blocked by the coating.

Inventor: HOASHI YOSHIAKI
IPC: G01S17/931
Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: A radar system of a vehicle has a zero-cross comparator, an integrator, and a sensor. The comparator compares a light reception signal output from each one of photoreceptive elements with a predetermined standard signal and outputs a comparison signal indicating two different states corresponding to a result of the comparison. The integrator samples the comparison signal and converts the comparison signal into one-bit digital data. The integrator integrates the digital data for each photoreceptive element. The sensor compares the integrated data of each photoreceptive element with a predetermined integration standard value. The sensor senses a reflection object based on the integrated data equal to or greater than the integration standard value.

Abstract: To provide an automatic transmission which includes oil passages with a simple structure provided for twin clutches and allows the number of production steps to be reduced. In an automatic transmission which includes a number of gear trains equal to the number of speeds between a primary shaft SP and a countershaft SC and performs connection and disconnection of rotational driving force between the crankshaft SI and a gearbox by means of twin hydraulic clutches including first and second clutches CL1 and CL2, the first and second clutches are disposed on the axis of the primary shaft SP back to back with a primary gear GP interposed therebetween. Oil passages 4 and 5 can be therefore formed into a more simple shape than those formed by a method in which twin clutches are accommodated in a single case and can be configured to have a same total length. The first and second clutches are of a same component. The first clutch CL1 performs connection and disconnection for first and third speeds, and the second clutch CL2 performs connection and disconnection for second and fourth speeds.
