Patent CA-2455667-C (CA)
Title: Strainer for a water hose
Inventor: REBER LARRY F
IPC: E03B3/04
Filed: 2004-01-22
Granted: 2008-10-07
Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method for obtaining sieved water, for fighting fires, from a source of water having foreign objects are disclosed. A strainer is connected to a tank via a hose such that water may be pumped from the strainer to the tank. The strainer includes a water inlet having a sieve-like material over it and a water outlet connector where the hose connects. The strainer is submerged in a source of water such as a pond or stream. As water enters the strainer via the water inlet, the sieve-like material prevents foreign objects such as rocks and leaves from entering the strainer. Therefore, the foreign objects never reach the tank. A pan may be connected to the bottom of the strainer to elevate the strainer above the bottom of the source of water. Such elevating helps achieve desired flow rates without stirring or roiling foreign objects such as sand or gravel that may be at the bottom of the source of water.

Abstract: A vehicle latch has a housing (18) with a detent (32) and a stop (34). A lever (12) is pivotally connected to the housing (18) and movable from an install position engaging the housing (18) to an active position pivoted away from the housing (18). A spring (16) extends from the lever (12) to the housing applying a biasing force to the lever (12) urging the lever to the install position. The spring (16) has a tail portion (20), a coil section (22) and an opposite end (24). The opposite end (24) engages the lever (12). The tail end (20) is moveable to engage either the stop (34) or detent (32). In the install position, the tail end (20) engages the detent (32) and also engages the lever (12). In this position, the spring (16) increases the biasing force holding the lever (12) in the install position. The tail end (20) is removable from the detent (32) to engage the stop when the lever (12) is first pivoted away from the install position. This disengages the tail end (20) from the lever (12) and also reduces the biasing force on the lever (12).

Granted: 2012-10-16
Abstract: The method for automatic checking of the availability of a lift installation (1) with at least one lift (1.1, 1.2), comprises the following steps (S1 - S11). There is ascertained: at least one first estimated value (N S(it)) for a use frequency of the lift (1.1, 1.2) for a first time period and/or a second estimated value (N S(i,t+.DELTA.t)) for the use frequency for a second time period, wherein the second time period begins at a later point in time than the first time period. A measurement value (Nm(i,t)) for the use frequency for the first time period is determined and the measurement value compared with at least one of the estimated values (N S(i,t), N S(i,t+.DELTA.t)). If the measurement value (Nm(i,t)) is smaller than the respective estimated value (N S(i,t), (N S(i,t+.DELTA.t)) by a predetermined amount (N S(i,t) - Nmin(i,t), .DELTA.N S), at least one predetermined command for carrying out at least one test of the lift installation (1) is given, wherein the test in the case of availability of the lift installation (1) leads to a desired reaction (R S) of the lift installation. Subsequently, at least one reaction (R) of the lift installation (1) is registered and compared with the desired reaction (R S).

Abstract: Systems and methods for cell-based wrapped wave front arbiter (WFFA) with bandwidth reservation are disclosed. The method for reserving bandwidth of a given priority using the WWFA for arbitrating bandwidth among virtual links between input and output ports, each link supporting priorities and corresponding to an arbitration unit (AU) of the WWFA generally includes performing at least one arbitration pass of a wave front of the WWFA where AUs having a reserved bandwidth request of a given priority and reserved bandwidth credit of the given priority compete for the bandwidth associated with the wave front, and where AUs not having a reserved bandwidth request of the given priority and reserved bandwidth credit of the given priority do not compete for the bandwidth, and performing at least one subsequent arbitration pass where AUs having a reserved bandwidth request of the given priority compete for the bandwidth. Each virtual link perferably supports a high priority and a low priority such that the WWFA performs four passes. Each priority of each virtual link may be associated with a bandwidth credit accumulator register indicating the level of remaining reserved bandwidth credit, a reserved bandwidth weight register for programming a predetermined level of reserved bandwidth, a request counter register for tracking the number of bandwidth requests, a rate counter register that is periodically incremented to generate reserved bandwidth credits for the bandwidth credit accumulator register, and an optional burst register having a predetermined value for limiting the maximum value of the bandwidth credit accumulator register.
