Patent CA-2387609-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EVERS KEVIN J
IPC: B30B15/10
Filed: 2002-05-27
Abstract: A brake assembly includes a flex disk brake secured to a brake device of a press clutch-brake combination. A plurality of axially flexible finger elements extends from a peripheral side of the flex disk in a bent or arcuate configuration. The finger elements extend at least in part in a circumferential direction of the flex disk generally opposite to a direction of rotation of the press crankshaft. Each finger element is secured at one end to the stationary press crown. During brake activation, the axial flexibility of each finger element accommodates axial displacement of the attached brake device as the brake device undergoes actuated movement into its braking position. The flex brake disk provides a torquing rigidity that renders it rotationally stationary.

Inventor: CHICOYNE STANFORD M
IPC: F16B12/30
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: A section-joining joint system for joining rigid sections in disassembable relation, enabling the provision of knock-down assemblies, such as frames, stands and the like, has a series of joints, each requiring the piercing of one of the joint members to form a projecting anchorage flap, and the application of a single tension member secured by the anchorage flap, the tension member being in the form of a bolt and nut in securing relation between the abutting joint members. Joints having as many as four members may be thus formed, which can include diagonal brace members. Carriage bolts having radius-profiled heads with squared inner head portions may be used as the bolting medium. The piercing operation can provide a perforated, projecting flap located adjacent the end of the member, and positioned to receive the tensioned (bolt) member in entered relation therethrough, the free end of the tensioned (bolt) member being passed through apertures in the adjoined structural members, enabling a nut to be applied to the bolt and tightened against the inner face of the projecting flap, drawing the joint members together in mutual compressive relation to complete the assembly of the joint.     The joint members may be of U-section channel; also L-section members, and combinations thereof can be used. By the use of asymetrical joints, the structure can be rigidified, providing lateral and longitudinal stiffness. Two types of flap formation can be used, and a support can be introduced to limit flap deflection.

Title: Method for determining echo distance using autocorrelation
Inventor: PRESTON NIGEL ASHLEY
IPC: G01S7/527
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: A method and system for echo processing a receive signal using autocorrelation. A receive signal is sampled, digitized and high-pass filtered. A correlation signal is created by adding the filtered signal to a copy of the filtered signal shifted by a time unit. A set of correlation signals is created by repeating the process for a range of time units corresponding to a set of sequential sample points. Each correlation signal has a correlation indicator evidencing the strength of the correlation.  The correlation signal having the highest correlation strength is identified, and the time shift used to create it is identified as the time of flight of the echo pulse.  The echo distance is then calculated based upon the time of flight and the speed of propagation of the echo in the environment. The correlation indicator may the maximum peak value of the correlation signal.
