Title: Treadmill mechanism
Inventor: PARTYNSKI JEFFREY J
IPC: A63B22/02
Filed: 2000-09-07
Granted: 2008-02-05
Abstract: An exercise treadmill is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation and to reduce maintenance costs. These features include handlebars with an upwardly curved center section and outwardly flared side portions along with pivoting rear legs for the treadmill frame. The control panel features include snap-in user trays and an overlay covering the numerical key pad along with an auxiliary control panel having a subset of user controls that are larger and more easy to use than the same controls on the main control panel. Maintenance enhancing features include the provision for access panels in the treadmill housing and a belt lubrication system that uses a priming pulse to clear the wax spraying nozzle. For injection molded parts such as the control panel, structural strength is enhanced by utilizing gas-assist injection molding to form structural ribs.  Another feature includes pre-glazing the treadmill belt. Sound and vibration are reduced in a treadmill by mounting the treadmill belt drive motor on motor isolation mounts that include resilient members. A further feature is a double sided waxed deck where one side of the deck is covered by a protective tape.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring formation conductivities from within cased wellbores
Inventor: STRACK KURT MARTIN
IPC: G01V3/02
Filed: 2005-07-19
Granted: 2013-04-16
Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining spatial distribution of resistivity of Earth formations surrounding a wellbore having a conductive pipe therein. The method includes measuring resistivity of the Earth formations using measurements of current leakage along the pipe at selected axial positions.  Electromagnetic properties of the Earth formations are measured from within the pipe. The measurements of electromagnetic properties correspond to a larger axial distance and to a greater lateral distance than the measurements of resistivity from current leakage. The current leakage and electromagnetic measurements are jointly inverted to obtain a model of the spatial distribution.

Patent CA-2589967-C (CA)
Inventor: FIELD MATTHEW GIBSON
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2006-01-30
Granted: 2015-03-31
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of operating a motor vehicle powertrain comprising an infinitely variable transmission and an engine. The transmission comprises a rotary transmission input coupled to the engine, a rotary transmission output coupled to the vehicle wheels, a variator which provides a continuously variable ratio (the "variator ratio"), and gearing for coupling the variator between the engine and the transmission output in such a manner that the ratio of transmission output speed to transmission input speed (the "reciprocal transmission ratio") is a function of the variator ratio. The available range of variator ratios maps onto both forward and reverse reciprocal transmission ratios, and at a particular variator ratio (the "geared neutral ratio") the transmission output is stationary despite its being coupled through the transmission to the rotating transmission input. Tthe comprises sustaining engine speed in a range of low reciprocal transmission ratios containing and extending to either side of geared neutral, by applying a drive torque demand to the engine even while the powertrain is operating in overrun.

Abstract: It is possible to provide a converter capable of suppressing an instantaneous voltage fluctuation and outputting a desired DC power of high accuracy. The converter includes a power conversion unit (11) performing power conversion of power supplied, a smoothing filter (12) for smoothing the power electrically converted, a voltage detector (8) for detecting voltage of the power smoothed, and a control unit (17) for outputting a pulse signal for controlling the switching element flow ratio in the power conversion unit (11) so that the output voltage from the voltage detector (8) has a desired voltage value. The control unit (17) temporarily stops power supply when the output voltage has increased to a first predetermined voltage so that the output voltage from the voltage detector (8) does not become an excessive voltage exceeding a desired voltage value and resumes power supply when the output voltage has been lowered to a second predetermined voltage so that the output voltage from the voltage detector (8) does not become a voltage lower than the desired voltage value.

Granted: 2010-11-09
Abstract: An ozonated water dispenser allows a user to kill bacteria and microbiological organisms on their hands or other objects. The dispenser includes a reservoir, a pump, and an ozonated water delivery means downstream from the pump to dispense pressurized ozonated water in a fine mist. The delivery means includes a mister and a control valve, such as a solenoid, to restrict water flow in a water line to build up water pressure between the pump and the control valve to overcome the mister's cracking pressure. A water ozonation means is provided downstream from the ozonated water delivery means, and in communication with an inlet of the reservoir to recirculate water. This dispenser uses regular tap water and can be employed as an alternative to a sanitizing gel, or when use of a gel is not practical or desirable, such as for sanitizing fresh produce after its purchase.

Abstract: Remote sensing in an environment having temperatures greater than 300~C, using an optical fiber having a core (10), a cladding (20), and a metallic protective coating (30) on the cladding to protect a surface of the cladding, the cladding having a diameter greater than 150~m, and a thickness of at least 50~m. The larger diameter cladding means stress from the metallic protective layer can be reduced, giving lower optical loss and better hydrogen protection. A metal conduit (330) encapsulates the sensing fiber, and a pump evacuates the conduit to reduce hydrogen seepage. Ceramic splice protectors are used. OTDR is used to determine differential loss at different locations along the fiber. A reflect ive element at the far-end of the fiber eases calibration.

Title: Am transmitter and modulation method using same
Inventor: MATSUO SHIN-ICHI
IPC: H03F3/68
Filed: 2008-06-27
Granted: 2014-06-03
Abstract: An AM (Amplitude-Modulated) transmitter capable of improving modulation distortion is provided. An adder adds a modulation signal to a pre-set power reference signal. An APC (Automatic Power Control) amplifier compares a level of a detecting signal outputted by the LPF (Low Pass Filter) with a level of an adder signal. The APC amplifier, based on the comparison result, generates a gain controlling signal that makes a difference between a level of the detecting signal and level of the signal approach zero and feeds the gain controlling signal to a power amplifier. The power amplifier modulates the signal outputted from the amplifier by the gain controlling signal and power-amplifies the modulated signal according to a level of the gain controlling signal. Since the APC amplifier feeds the gain controlling signal to the power amplifier, a modulation degree does not depend on a nonlinear distortion characteristic of the power amplifier.
