Abstract: A vehicle control pedal apparatus (12) includes a support (18) adapted to be mounted to a vehicle structure (20) and an adjustable pedal assembly (22) having a pedal arm (14) that is moveable in fore and aft directions with respect to the support (18). A  pivot (24) pivotally supports the adjustable pedal assembly (22) with respect to the support (18) and defines a pivot axis (26). The control pedal apparatus (12) further includes an electronic throttle control (28) attached to the support (18) for controlling an engine throttle (30). The apparatus (12) is characterized by the electronic throttle control (28) being responsive to the pivot (24) for providing a signal (32) that corresponds to pedal arm position as the pedal arm (14) pivots about the pivot axis (26) between rest and applied positions.  Thus, the control pedal apparatus (12) can adjust pedal arm position in fore and aft directions without having to move the electronic throttle control unit (28) along with the pedal arm (14). Additionally, the electronic throttle control (28) is responsive to the pivot (24) about which the adjustable pedal assembly (22) rotates.

Patent CA-2316576-C (CA)
Inventor: ICHIRYU TAKU
IPC: F01D5/08
Filed: 2000-08-22
Granted: 2005-02-01
Abstract: In a cooling air supply system for a rotor, cooling air is supplied from cooling air nozzles to an annular cooling air passage formed around the rotor shaft. The cooling air nozzles are formed as straight air passages having circular cross sections. The straight air passages disposed on a stationary annular nozzle member surrounding the rotor shaft. Since the nozzles are formed as straight air passages having circular cross sections, the nozzles can be manufactured accurately at low cost by machining the annular nozzle member.      Further, since the freedom for the arrangement of the nozzles increases by using the straight air passages, the nozzles can be arranged in such a manner that cooling air leaving the nozzle flows into the cooling air passage around the rotor shaft without changing its flow direction. Thus, the pressure drop in the cooling air caused by changing flow direction can be largely reduced.

Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: Dans un réseau de télécommunications qui fait appel à un schéma AMCR, l'amplitude associée à chaque porteuse AMCR est numériquement limitée, ce qui limite le rapport valeur de crête sur valeur moyenne. On réalise cette limitation en mesurant l'amplitude instantanée des signaux en phase et en quadrature, qui constituent chaque porteuse AMCR, en dérivant une amplitude maximum sur la base des mesures d'amplitude instantanée, en dérivant un ou pusieurs facteurs de proportionnalité, en partie sur la base de l'amplitude maximum. Les facteurs de proportionnalité sont ensuite appliqués aux signaux en phase et en quadrature, lesquels sont par la suite filtrés, combinés et modulés par une fréquence porteuse AMCR correspondante.

Abstract: In manufacturing a tire containing a sealer, an outside liner is adhered to the inner surface of a body of the tire, and an inside liner is adhered to t he inner surface of the side wall of the tire body at both the right and left sides of the liner, to thereby provide a space for filling a sealer between the central portion of the inside liner and the inner surface of the outside liner. Since the tire body is comprised mainly of a mixture of butyl rubber and natural rubber or a mixture of butyl rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, the outside liner is comprised mainly of natural rubber and the inne r liner is comprised mainly of butyl rubber, the outside liner and the inside liner does not adhere to each other in curing and forming. This allows securing the formation of a space for a sealer without the use of a releasin g agent or a releasing sheet.
