Title: Captive soft-point bullet
Inventor: PILARSKI CRAIG S
IPC: F42B12/74
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: A bullet (10) comprised of a jacket (11) of malleable metal having a closed nose portion (13) and a rear end portion defined by a cylindrical wall, the closed nose portion having wall-weakening areas (22) encapsulating a forward core (21) made of a deformable material which promptly deforms, collapses axially, and expands radially to a substantial extent along with the weakened wall area, when the bullet strikes a target.

Inventor: PATERSON CHRIS M
IPC: A47L9/24
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: Contoured exhaust ducts (112) for transmitting a particulate-laden airstream from a conduit (110) into a bag (30) of an upright vacuum cleaner (102) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the airstream is turned by a transitional section (196) of the exhaust by about 90 degrees. The interior of the exhaust duct (112) is smoothly contoured through such transition for avoiding the generation of excessive noise and turbulence. The contoured surface (198) of the transitional section (196) prevents heavy objects entrained in the airstream from rebounding back in a direction against the airflow. The cross-sectional area of the exhaust duct (112) may be maintained constant despite a change in cross-sectional shape from the inlet to the outlet thereof.

Filed: 2003-04-07
Abstract: A proportion liquid sampling on-line device uses a frustroconically-shaped deflector positioned in a sampling chamber. The deflector reverses twice the main flow incidence by 180° and generates a film of flowing liquid substantially bubble-free. A secondary flow containing a predetermined quantity of liquid is diverted from the main flow and compacted in a measurement attachment to create slabs of liquid with no entrained air. Advantageously, these slabs of liquid are similar to a microscope slide and provide for an optimal IR sensing. It is an inexpensive tester, easy to position/use in any parlor and with any farm milking machine. The tester provides complete milk information for efficient herd management.

Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: Les protéines membranaires sont difficiles à exprimer sous forme recombinante, à purifier et à caractériser, au moins en partie à cause de leurs propriétés hydrophobes ou partiellement hydrophobes. Des protéines d'échaufaudage membranaires (MSP) s'assemblent à des membranes cibles ou d'autres protéines hydrophobes ou partiellement hydrophobes ou des fragments membranaires pour former des particules solubles à l'échelle nanométrique qui conservent leur structure et leur fonction d'origine. Elles sont améliorées par rapport à des liposomes et des micelles détergentes. En présence de phospholipides, les MSP forment des disques bicouches nanoscopiques phospholipidiques, la MSP stabilisant la particule sur le périmètre du domaine bicouche. La structure bicouche particulaire permet une manipulation de protéines incorporées en solution ou sur des supports solides, dont l'utilisation avec des techniques sensibles à la surface, telles que la microscopie-sonde à balayage ou la détection par résonance plasmonique de surface. Les particules à l'échelle nanométrique facilitent la recherche pharmaceutique et biologique, la corrélation structure/fonction, la détermination de structure, la bioséparation et la découverte de médicaments.

Title: Fiber optic sensors with reduced noise
Inventor: DIGONNET MICHAEL J F
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2003-08-19
Abstract: Hollow-core photonic-bandgap fiber is used in fiber optic Sagnac interferometers, including but not limited to fiber optic gyroscopes. Use of the hollow-core photonic-bandgap fiber reduces Rayleigh backscattering and Kerr effects, which otherwise would introduce phase shift into light propagating through the optical fiber and result in errors in the output of the interferometer. Narrowband light sources, such as semiconductor lasers currently employed for telecommunication applications, which provide increased wavelength stability, as well as broadband light sources, can be used to drive the fiber optic interferometers. Modulation can also be employed to improve the accuracy of the output of these sensors.

Abstract: When arranging the geometry of knuckle booms with efficient hydraulic circuits it is sometimes necessary to place the cylinder that provides the reaching force above the boom so that its base area rather than its rod end area provides the boom point motion and force in the pulling direction. It is als o sometimes necessary to provide equal areas for both pushing and pulling by further modifying the reach cylinder installation. In the invention, the knuckle boom apparatu s has a machine base, a hoist boom and a stick boom. The stick boom has an intermediate pivot pinned to pivot on the distal end of the hoist boom, and a proximal en d having a suitable cylinder push point. At least one hydraulic hoist cylinder is mount ed between the machine base and the hoist boom, and at least one hydraulic stick cylind er is mounted between the hoist boom and the stick boom. A hydraulic reach cylinde r is mounted above the hoist boom between the hoist booms and the suitable push point, whereby when the hydraulic reach cylinder is actuated by supplying oil to it s base end, the distal end of the stick boom is withdrawn towards the machine base. The hydraulic circuit has at least one hydraulic conduit line connecting respective base end pons of the hoist and stick cylinders so as to allow hydraulic oil to shuntbetween base ends of the hoist and stick cylinders.

IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: A general method of anomaly detection (208) from time-correlated sensor data is disclosed. Multiple time-correlated signals are received. Their cross-signal behavior is compared against a fixed library of invariants. The library is constructed during a training process, which is itself data-driven using the same time-correlated signals. The method is applicable to a broad class of problems and is designed to respond to any departure from normal operation, including faults or events that lie outside the training envelope.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un palier pour portée d'arbre, à coussinet inclinable, utilisable comme palier amortisseur pour un arbre à suspension magnétique, susceptible d'être soumis à des surcharges d'impact, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend, selon une première forme d'exécution (10, Fig. 1), un logement annulaire (24) pour une rangée de coussinets en forme d'arc (30¿i? ), montés élastiquement par l'intermédiaire de moyens à ressorts (70) exerçant une force de rappel des supports à l'encontre de têtes (52¿i? ) de bossages de retenue (50¿i? ) limitant le déplacement radial et permettant auxdits coussinets de définir un espace pour l'arbre. Les coussinets présentent des clavettes (60) associées à ceux-ci, fixées au logement ou au coussinet à une extrémité, et déplaçables vers l'autre extrémité par rapport au coussinet ou au logement. Les moyens à ressorts comprennent des empilements d'éléments fléchissants, montés entre les supports, logements ou clavettes relativement mobiles, et pré-chargés en ajustant l'intervalle effectif avec les coussinets vis-à-vis des bossages. Les moyens à ressorts sont configurés compacts par des rondelles élastiques annulaires (72) montées sur les clavettes, le déplacement relatif entre les ressorts durant le fléchissement des piles fournissant également un amortissement par friction de la suspension élastique, déjà adaptée en faisant varier le nombre et la rigidité des rondelles élastiques. Une seconde forme d'exécution (120, Fig. 5) est caractérisée en ce qu'il est prévu des piles de ressorts s'étendant sur la circonférence (172), en ce que les ressorts de chaque pile sont décalés les uns des autres, radialement et sur la circonférence, et en ce que chacun contribue à supporter une pluralité de coussinets adjacents (130¿i?). Chaque ressort (172¿c?) est monté au centre d'un embout (160¿2?) associé à un coussinet (130¿2?) et fixé, à leurs extrémités, à des coussinets espacés circonférentiellement (130¿1?, 130¿3?). Le secteur circonférentiel de chaque ressort est de préférence ? 90·, de sorte que par déplacement radial sur l'embout, par le coussinet central par rapport à celui-ci, les extrémités déplacent leurs extrémités de coussinets fixées par rapport aux têtes tronconiques des bossages de retenue (152) et s'inclinent vers l'espace de l'arbre, de façon à fournir un contact amorti avec l'arbre, en quadrature avec la charge de l'arbre déplaçant le coussinet central. En outre, le déplacement relatif entre les ressorts emboîtés assure un amortissement par friction. De plus, les bossages de retenue peuvent déplacés mutuellement en vue d'éliminer le jeu de l'espace ménagé pour l'arbre, au cas où la suspension magnétique serait défectueuse ou présenterait des signes de défaillance.
