Patent CA-2344522-C (CA)
Inventor: GONSOULIN BRYAN
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 2001-04-24
Granted: 2005-09-13
Abstract: An NMR apparatus includes permanent magnets oppositely polarized in the axial direction and suitably arranged along the axis of the apparatus to produce a nearly radial static magnetic field in a toroidal examination region within the rock formation surrounding the wellbore. A first coil is wound around a cylindrical annulus core coaxial with the magnets, the core including high magnetic permeability material. The first coil produces pulsed RF magnetic fields oriented parallel to the axis of the apparatus and thus perpendicular to the static magnetic field in the toroidal examination region.  This reorients certain nuclear spins and the bulk magnetization of the formation within the examination region resulting from them. The first coil picks up on component of the spin-echo signals of the precessing nucleii. A second coil toroidally wound around the same cylindrical annulus core in the form of a torus with windings in planes parallel to the axis of the apparatus detects a second component of the spin-echo signals.  The apparatus also includes a third coil spaced apart from the first coil and having a geometry similar to that of the second coil. An electrically conducting collar shields the third coil from the magnetic fields produced elsewhere in the apparatus. A processor combines the signals from the three coils to give spin-echo signals with improved signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract: An apparatus to enable the release of a railway vehicle hand brake system from either side of the vehicle is provided. The apparatus comprises a source of fluid pressure engageable with the vehicle. A release cylinder, which is operable by fluid pressure, is connected to a hand brake mechanism that is engageable with a brake system disposed on the vehicle. A valve means is connected intermediate the source of fluid pressure and the release cylinder. This valve means causes the release cylinder to release the hand brake system. A first valve actuation means is disposed on a first side of the vehicle and is connected intermediate the valve means and the source of fluid pressure. This first valve actuation means causes the valve means to initiate communication of fluid pressure from the source of fluid pressure to the release cylinder. A second valve actuation means is disposed on an opposed second side of the vehicle and is connected intermediate the valve means and the source of fluid pressure. This second valve actuation means also causes the valve means to initiate communication of fluid pressure from the source of fluid pressure to the release cylinder.

Title: Optimal load-based wireless session context transfer
Inventor: FARLEY KEVIN L
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-07-26
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a system and method for transferring a wireless session context allows a subscriber access unit to transfer the session context from one base station to another base station depending on a loading factor which indicates the throughput load through each of the base stations. A  subscriber access unit which is located in an overlapping wireless coverage area served by both base stations can transfer the session context such that it is served by the base station having the least throughput load. Subscriber access units in overlapping coverage areas will therefore tend to transfer session context to the least burdened base station processor. In this manner, performance is improved because subscriber access units within a wireless coverage area of multiple base station processors are transferred to the base station able to provide the maximum throughput. Further, subscriber access units may be mobile, traveling between coverage areas and passing through overlapping coverage areas. A check is made to determine which of the base station processors corresponding to the coverage areas is least burdened by throughput. A  loading factor indicative of resource utilization of each of the base station processors is computed. Each of the loading factors is compared, and the session context is transferred, or switched to the base station having the lowest loading factor.

Abstract: The stent of this invention is a self-expanding stent created by a scaffolding lattice. The stent may be made from a nickel-titanium alloy. The lattice is formed from two different types of helices that proceed circumferentially in opposite directions along the longitudinal axis of the stent. The helices have no free ends. The first type of helix is formed by a series of ondulations and the second type of helix is formed from a series of connection elements. The undulations may be in a zigzag or sinusoidal pattern. The connection elements connect the junction points lying on adjacent turns of the first type of helix. The junction points are formed by the ascending and descending arms of the undulations or zigzags. The ends of the stent may be formed by a closed circumferential element which is linked by connection elements to a transition zone. The transition zone is formed by a closed loop that connects directly to the first helix. The amplitude of the undulations or zigzags forming the transition zone increases from the closed loop to the point connecting the transition zone with the first type of helix. The closed circumferential element may be made from a radiopaque material. The scaffolding lattice design of the stent provides a stent having a high degree of flexibility as well as radial strength.

A pair of spring-biased latching members are attached to the frame member and arranged in a normally-closed condition and therein narrow the width of the receiving channel at an entrance location. The latching members are pivotally moveable to an open condition by the action of the U-bolt pushing against the latching members until the U-bolt enters the receiving channel. A release slide is included as part of the latching mechanism to allow the U-bolt to be released. The release slide is spring biased for movement from a load-launch orientation to a stowed orientation. The latching mechanism is designed to attach to a winch stand and includes two separate mounting connections for this purpose.
