Title: Belt for continuously variable transmission
Inventor: YOSHIDA HIDEAKI
IPC: F16G5/16
Filed: 2000-12-22
Abstract: A belt for non-stage transmissions, wherein a first line at the lower end of the element main body of a metal element is determined and a second line which linearly connects the lower end of a V-surface to which load is applied from the V-groove in a pulley and the inner end of the saddle surface is determined, in such a manner that when a downward load is applied from a metal ring assembly to the outer end of a saddle surface, the transverse rupture strength of the element main body is latitudinally constant. The position of a recess is set adjacent a point of intersection between the first and second lines, and inside the recess the lower edge of the element main body is defined by the first line and outside the recess the lower edge of the element main body is defined by the second line. Thus, an innovative design of a shape for the lower edge of the element main body of the metal element makes it possible to enhance the durability of the metal element.

Patent CA-2380243-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HANNA CHARLES F
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil qui permettent de mesurer la réflectance diffuse transcutanée à une distance d'échantillonnage unique pour déterminer la concentration d'un analyte dans un échantillon biologique, des tissus humains par exemple. On s'est rendu compte que la détermination de la concentration de l'analyte dépend de la distance d'échantillonnage et produit un résultat optimal à une distance d'échantillonnage définie pour un analyte donné et un échantillon donné. Le procédé consiste à mesurer la lumière ré-émise par l'échantillon à une distance d'un site d'introduction de lumière et à corréler l'intensité de la lumière ré-émise et la concentration d'un analyte. Pour un échantillon donné, la distance entre le site de captage de la lumière et le site d'introduction de la lumière (c'est-à-dire la distance d'échantillonnage) correspond à la profondeur entre la surface et l'échantillon à laquelle les événements de diffusion et d'absorption affectent significativement l'intensité de la lumière ré-émise (c'est-à-dire la profondeur d'échantillonnage). La connaissance préalable de l'échantillon détermine la profondeur d'échantillonnage optimale pour effectuer une mesure d'un analyte spécifique et la distance d'échantillonnage correspondante nécessaire pour atteindre cette profondeur d'échantillonnage optimale. L'optimisation de la distance d'échantillonnage ainsi que la relation de corrélation peuvent être définies dans une procédure d'étalonnage.
