Patent EP-1339505-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BREHM CHRISTOPHER SCOTT
IPC: B07C3/00
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: A method and system is provided for collecting relatively small batches of mail that, alone, would not qualify for mailing at a pre-sorted postage rate and pooling them together with others for pre-sorting into a qualified batch of pre-sorted mail. The inventive method involves transporting mail in a traceable container to a holding facility where it is pooled with others for pickup and processing by a mail pre-sorting business. The mail may be metered at a reduced program rate. The system creates a cooperative of participating mail senders working together to earn a lower effective postage rate. The method further provides a solution to the technical problem of postal sorting equipment that is overburdened by medium-sized batches of unsorted mail. The solution identifies and diverts such batches for processing at a separate facility before the batch is tendered to the postal service.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un membre artificiel d'amputés à régulation hypobare, qui comprend une emboîture dont le volume et la forme permettent de recevoir une partie importante du moignon. Un revêtement dont le volume est inférieur à celui du moignon est ajusté sur celui-ci, tendu et en contact étroit avec le moignon. Une cavité étanche est formée entre l'emboîture et le revêtement. Une source de vide est reliée à la cavité d'emboîture, mettant ainsi fermement en contact avec l'emboîture le moignon et le revêtement. Un mécanisme permet de maintenir le vide dans la cavité de façon à compenser une éventuelle fuite d'air par le joint d'étanchéité.

Abstract: The method involves measuring the coolant pressure (p) and temperature on the high pressure side and evaluating for possible coolant loss. The temperature and pressure are measured between the compressor and condenser. The measured coolant temperature is dependent on the coolant pressure and is compared with a threshold value defined for the measurement position for a reference coolant pressure equal to the measured coolant pressure. If the threshold is exceeded a leak is detected. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: a refrigeration or air conditioning circuit, especially for vehicles.
