Title: Dual valve fitting for enabling quick measurement of pressure
Inventor: SCOTT DANIEL G
IPC: G01L19/00
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: An auxiliary valve assembly is provided for use with a male plug of a quick connect device, which male plug includes: a first valve body defining a flow passage from a protuberant end to an threaded end, the protuberant end being shaped to mate with a female coupler of the quick connect device; a first valve situated in the flow passage, the first valve including a poppet type head at a top end of a valve stem that is seatable against an outer annular valve seat formed in the flow passage at the protuberant end; and a first means for biasing the poppet type head against the outer annular valve seat so that the first valve is normally closed. The auxiliary valve assembly includes a second valve body in which is housed a second valve. The second valve body defines a flow bore from an upper threaded end to a lower threaded end which communicates with the flow passage of the first valve body. The upper threaded end connects with the threaded end of the first valve body whereas the lower threaded end is designed to screw into a threaded bore of a housing. A second valve in the flow bore features a plunger whose top end is disposed opposite a bottom end of the valve stem with a dead space in between. An annular groove around a bottom end of the plunger retains a sealing mechanism that is seatable against an inner annular valve seat formed in the flow bore. A second biasing mechanism acts upon the plunger so that the sealing mechanism seats against the inner annular valve seat thereby rendering the second valve normally closed. When the female coupler is mated to the protuberant end, the female coupler causes translation of the valve stem and the plunger thereby opening both the first valve and the second valve. The allows flow from the housing through the flow bore and the flow passage and into the female coupler.

Abstract: A curved skid-plate adapted for attachment to the front-outer portion of a canister-shaped motorcycle muffler, thereby providing an inexpensive, replaceable surface that protects the muffler from damage during a crash. The skid-plate is cast or machined from aluminum, carbon fiber composite or similar material. The skid-plate is shaped into the form of a substantially semi-circular extrusion whose semi-circular curve has a shape that generally conforms to the cross-sectional shape of the muffler being protected. In one embodiment, expandable clamping bands are used to secure the skid-plate to the muffler. In another embodiment, bolts are used to secure the skid-plate to the muffler.  In another embodiment, the skid-plate's curvature matches the curvature of a particular muffler. In another embodiment, the skid-plate's curvature is somewhat different than that of most mufflers and a deformable gasket material adapts to the crescent-shaped gap between the skid-plate and muffler, thereby enabling a small number of skid-plate configurations to fit a wide variety of mufflers, without damaging their surface finish. In another embodiment, a standard outer puck element bolts to an inner puck-holder element which is adapted for fixation to the muffler, thereby reducing the cost of repairing the damaged skid-plate after a crash.

Abstract: A phased array antenna provides a subscriber unit with an ability to transmit and receive signals in different directions to allow for optimum gain in both directions, simultaneously. In this way, refraction and multipath effects resulting from communication signals operating at different frequencies can be compensated for to improve gain in both the forward and reverse links.  Frequency selective components (410) are coupled to respective antenna elements (210). At least two weighting structures (415 and 420) are coupled to the frequency selective components (410) to produce independently steerable beams having spectrally separated signals. The weighting structures (415 and 420) may include phase shifting elements to steer the beams independently and include at least one variable gain amplifying component to independently amplify the signals received by or transmitted by the respective antenna (210), thereby optimizing the respective shapes of the beams. By having independently steerable and shapable beams, the directive antenna is attractive for use in a multi-band and/or multipath environment, same frequency or spread spectrum network.
