Patent CA-2505160-A1 (CA)
Title: Upgrading automatic transmissions
Inventor: BORG JOSEPH
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 2002-07-12
Abstract: The pressure sensitive valve is designed to relieve oil pressure accumulation in the 3rd/4th clutch assembly on a Hydramatic 4L60/E automatic transmission.  Pressure relief is accomplished by a compression spring (37) and a valve member (28), located in the valve housing (27) . When unwanted pressure has accumulated in the 3rd/4th clutch circuit (whilst the transmission is in 1st or 2nd gear) the predetermined tension of the compression spring holds the valve member off its seat (29), thus allowing unwanted oil pressure to flow through the interior space of the housing (33) and exhaust through the orifice (35). When full oil pressure is applied in the 3rd/4th clutch circuit the compression spring (37) collapses and allows the valve member (28) to seal on the valve seat (29) of the housing. Thus blocking the fluid flow and allowing full oil pressure to apply the 3rd/4th clutch assembly.

IPC: A61C5/77
Filed: 2003-11-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing denture parts or for tooth restoration. According to said method, to reconstruct a tooth requiring repair or a defective condition, at least some of the missing exterior surfaces of denture parts or tooth restorations are adapted to the existing residual tooth material and/or the opposing teeth and/or the position of the neighbouring tooth and/or the occlusion position, by means of the optimisation of a generic dental-model data record of the desired tooth type, thus varying the linear factors of at least the most important components, (determined from the electronic data records of a larger number of measured tooth surfaces by primary axis analysis methods), in such a way that the selected optimisation criteria are fulfilled by the minimisation of an error function. After the successful adaptation of said surfaces to the residual occlusion position and the completion of the data record, the reconstructed denture part or the reconstructed tooth restoration is machine-manufactured.

Title: Spring balance assembly
Inventor: SCHULTZ STEVEN E
IPC: E05F7/06
Filed: 2005-07-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a spring balance assembly for use with a sash window assembly slidable within a master frame. The spring balance assembly generally includes a plurality of stacked spring assemblies and pivot brake assembly. The spring assemblies include a coil spring and a support plate that rotatably supports the coil spring. Each coil spring has a free end, an intermediate portion, and a coiled portion, wherein the free ends are operably connected to the pivot brake assembly. The coil springs are configured to prevent a portion of the spring from excessive bowing and making prolonged contact with the wall of the mounting channel to which the balance assembly is affixed. In addition, the coil springs are wound in a manner that significantly reduces the occurrence of severe bowing of the coiled portion and engagement with the channel walls. The spring balance assembly of the present invention reduces contact with the channel walls and thereby reduces any friction and the operating force.

Title: Banknote validator with banknote stack receiver
Inventor: ANDROSYUK SERGIY
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: A banknote stack receiving structure is provided in front of a banknote validator for sequentially passing banknotes to the validator in a serial manner. A first drive arrangement engages one side of an exposed banknote and urges the banknote towards the validator. A restrictive drive cooperates with the first drive and a banknote must pass between opposed rollers of the drives to move to the validator. The restrictive drive roller contacts the opposite side of the exposed banknote but may also contact an overlapping banknote. The restrictive drive rotates to feed a banknote to the validator if a single banknote is present and automatically rotates in an opposite direction if overlapping banknotes are present. This automatic direction of rotation is due to slippage between banknotes and overcoming a low torque motor of the restrictive drive when a single banknote is present. - 17 -
