Patent GB-2366341-A (GB)
Title: Improving rapid reversal of an electric motor driven brake actuator having a brake lock
Inventor: SCHUMACHER AXEL
IPC: B60T8/1761
Filed: 2001-08-23
Abstract: A brake system (fig 1) for a motor vehicle has electric motor driven actuators. A lock of a parking or holding brake of each actuator is used during rapid reversal of the motor direction to give a fast response deceleration of the motor. A control device, process and computer program assumes the need for a high dynamic response upon detecting sudden/rapid change in a setpoint or demand value (broken line), or a sign change in the difference between a braking parameter target and an actual value (chain dotted line), and produces a control signal to actuate the lock while the motor decelerates (phases II and IV). The additional frictional forces from the lock slow the motor, in addition to forces from reversing the motor drive. When the motor speed (solid line) passes zero the lock is released. Thus the dynamic response of the brakes during anti-lock, stability, traction control or during motor acceleration is improved.

Title: Well logging tool
Inventor: WISLER MACMILLAN M
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: A propagation resistivity system utilizes one or more transmitter coil antennas T1-TN and at least two receiver coil antennas R1-R4. The system uses a wellbore resistivity tool 60 which may be embodied as a MWD tool or as a wireline tool. Two or more transmitters may be spaced equally on either side of two or more spaced-apart receivers. Two or more frequencies are transmitted and received simultaneously. Multiple frequencies may be transmitted from each transmitter or from separate transmitters at the same time. Multiple frequencies are simultaneously received and analyzed by the receiver electronics, thereby reducing the measurement time for multiple frequency measurements. Composite measurements made at two radial depths are used to compensate for factors having adverse effects on resistivity measurements in the immediate region of the borehole. Such factors include invasion, variations in borehole size, variations in borehole fluid, and the like.

Title: Filter cleaning device for a cyclonic vacuum cleaner
Inventor: JIN HYOUNG-JONG
IPC: B01D46/42
Filed: 2004-01-12
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner cyclone body has a discharge port 39 which is formed by a protruding cylinder with a filter (40, fig. 5). Associated with the filter is a cleaning ring 51 with internal brushes 53. In use, the ring moves relative to the filter and removes trapped dust. The cleaning ring 51 is connected to an auxiliary unit 61 via connection members 73. A spring 71 biases the auxiliary unit away from the filter. The cleaning device is operated by use of an operating member 81 which is attached to the bottom of a removable bin 31. When the vacuum cleaner is in operation the bin is attached and forms part of the cyclone, the operating member engages with the auxiliary unit to force it against the biasing spring and into engagement with the lower end of the filter unit as shown in figure 7. When the bin is removed, the operating member disengages from the auxiliary unit and the biasing spring forces the auxiliary unit away from the filter, thus causing the cleaning ring to pass over the surface of the filter (figure 8).
