Abstract: Abstract: A golf car (10) having a hydraulic fluid brake system. The hydraulic fluid brake system (50) is implemented as a disk brake system which is responsive to hydraulic fluid pressure generated from a master cylinder (60). A brake pedal (80) and associated linkage (42) provides input to a master cylinder (60) to generate a hydraulic fluid pressure to control a brake caliper assembly (48).  The brake pedal (80) has a range of travel, where a first portion of the range defines a service mode of operation and a second portion of the range defines a parking mode of operation. In the parking mode of operation, the brake pedal (80) and linkage (42) engages a detent (118, 120) to maintain application of the brake to provide a parking mode of operation. An accumulator (62) in the brake system provides an input force to maintain hydraulic fluid pressure sufficient to retain a parking mode of operation.

Title: Method and apparatus for making a nonwoven fibrous electret web from free-fiber and polar liquid
Inventor: ANGADJIVAND SEYED A
IPC: A62B18/02
Filed: 2000-01-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for charging fibers that contain a nonconductive polymer. A polar liquid (32, 34) is sprayed onto free-fibers (24), and the free-fibers (24) are then collected to form an entangled nonwoven fibrous web (25) that may contain a portion of the polar liquid.

Title: Compositions d'acetaldehyde de faible poids moleculaire
Inventor: JALAN RAJESH
IPC: C08K3/26
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: Les acétaldéhydes de faible poids moléculaire, les polyesters et les polyamides à gouttes à faible viscosité intrinsèque, selon cette invention, sont généralement utilisés pour produire des matériaux d'emballage tels que des bouteilles et des fibres. On emploie généralement, pour ce polyester, du poly(éthylène téréphtalate) (PETP) ainsi que des produits d'addition tels que du dioxyde de silicium sublimé. On ajoute de petites quantités de ces produits d'addition afin d'obtenir les avantages suivants : (i), gouttes à plus faible viscosité intrinsèque (I.V.) lors du moulage par injection et (ii), teneur inférieure en acétaldéhyde dans les préformes/bouteilles produites. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des particules microfines d'une taille inférieure à 0,1 micromètre accélèrent le glissement de la crête de cristallisation haute température de 160.sim.170 ·C à 130.sim.150 ·C pour des copeaux polymères poly(éthylène téréphtalate) vierges et récemment produits et, partant, réduisent ou suppriment le temps, coûteux, de relaxation/stockage avant qu'il ne soit procédé à un autre traitement. Cette façon de procéder permet d'éviter la formation de copeaux déformés ou réunis par fusion dans le produit fini.

Title: Method and composition for the triggered release of polymer-degrading agents for oil field use
Inventor: MISTRY KISHOR K
IPC: C09K8/92
Filed: 2000-11-13
Abstract: Disclosed are methods and related compositions for altering the physical and chemical properties of a substrate used in hydrocarbon exploitation, such as in downhole drilling operations. In a preferred embodiment a method involves formulating a fluid, tailored to the specific drilling conditions, that contains one or more inactivated enzymes. Preferably the enzyme is inactivated by encapsulation in a pH responsive material. After the fluid has been introduced into the well bore, one or more triggering signals, such as a change in pH, is applied to the fluid that will activate or reactivate the inactivate enzyme, preferably by causing it to be released by the encapsulation material. The reactivated enzyme is capable of selectively acting upon a substrate located downhole to bring about the desired change in the chemical or physical properties of the substrate.

Title: Digital current ramping to reduce audible noise in stepper motor
Inventor: MASKE RUDOLPH J
IPC: H02P8/32
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: A stepper motor controller and method for controlling the motion of a stepper motor by selectively energizing the motor's windings so that the current level in the windings match a desired current profile. The motor controller comprises a master logic device, preferably a microprocessor or microcontroller, which is programmed with logic for issuing control signals corresponding to the sequence with which the windings of the stepper motor are energized and the desired current profile. A portion of the control signals are received by a slaved logic device, which is programmed with logic for generating ramp command signals corresponding to the desired current profile.  The slaved logic device produces a ramp command signal that is received by a digital potentiometer, which preferably includes an up/down counter. The output signal produced by the digital potentiometer corresponds to a current count value of the up/down counter, and it is controlled by the ramp command signals. By controlling the digital potentiometer with the ramp command signals, a current command signal is produced corresponding to the desired current profile and having a range between low and high reference voltages.  This current command signal is provided to a stepper motor drive circuit, which controls the current levels in the stepper motor windings so that they correspond to the desired current profile and are phased according to required sequence.

Title: Reflectometre a modulation d'impulsions en duree (pwm) directe
Inventor: MCEWAN THOMAS E
IPC: G01S13/88
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un réflectomètre temporel (TDR) (décrit dans le dessin), qui forme un signal modulé par impulsions en durée (PWM) directement dans une ligne de transmission, la durée de l'impulsion étant proportionnelle à la portée par rapport à une discontinuité dans la ligne de transmission. Deux procédés de détection PWM peuvent être utilisés: 1) en temps réel où le signal PWM est détecté en temps réel; et 2) en temps étalé où le signal PWM est étalé dans le temps avant détection pour obtenir une plus grande précision. Les deux procédés convertissent le signal PWM dans la ligne de transmission analogique en un signal PWM de sortie numérique présentant un cycle de travail identique à des fins de calcul de moyenne, de décompte ou d'autre traitement permettant de déterminer une portée. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, une ligne de transmission est échantillonnée à une fréquence décalée flottante relativement à la fréquence PWM de la ligne de transmission pour former une sortie PWM présentant un facteur d'étalement temporel flottant mais un cycle de travail précis par rapport à l'emplacement de la discontinuité. Le réflectomètre temporel de l'invention présente la particularité d'être bon marché, précis et d'une simplicité absolue. Il peut être utilisé dans des applications, telles que la détection de niveau de réservoir de précision.
