Title: Transmission clutch interlock
Inventor: JENSEN MICHAEL RAY
IPC: F16H63/34
Filed: 2003-12-18
Abstract: An interlock mechanism is provided for a transmission system having a gear unit with a plurality of selectable gear ratios. A manually operated clutch control pedal is manually movable from a clutch engaged position to a clutch disengaged position. The transmission has a pair of shift rails movable to select gear ratios. The shift rails have detent grooves which interact with a pair of detent balls. An interlock member is normally in a lock position wherein the interlock member engages both detent balls and holds them in the detent grooves to prevent movement of either or both shift rails, The interlock member is movable to a release position wherein the interlock member is disengaged from the both detent balls whereby the detent balls will allow one the shift rails to be moved. An interlock spring is biased to urge the interlock member to the lock position. A linkage couples the interlock member to a clutch pedal so that movement of the clutch control member fully to its disengaged position causes the interlock member to move to its release position.

Patent CA-2462800-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SERKH ALEXANDER
IPC: F16H7/08
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: The invention comprises a belt drive system for automatically controlling a belt tension. The system comprises an actuator controlled by a control module.  The actuator operates on a pivoted pulley. A belt is trained about the pivoted pulley as well as other pulleys driving various accessories. A series of sensors in the system detect a belt condition including a belt tension. Sensor signals are transmitted to the control module. The control module processes the signals and instructs the actuator to move the pivoted pulley, thereby increasing or decreasing a belt tension. A feedback loop from the sensors to the control module allows the belt tension to be continuously monitored and adjusted many times per second. The system may actively control a belt tension by anticipating a system condition to prevent a belt noise by comparing sensor signals to instructions stored in a control module memory.

IPC: G09C1/00
Filed: 2002-12-06
Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for performing digital signatures and user identification. The signer's private key is a short generating basis for an NTRU lattice and his public key is a much longer generating bais for the same lattice. The signature on a digital document is a vector in the lattice with three important properties. - The signature is attached to the digital document being signed. - The signature demonstrates an ability to solve a general closest vector problem in the lattice. - The private vector of a general NTRU lattice is first used to construct a complete short basis for the lattice. Therefore, the RE is a straightforward linkage between the signature and the closest vector problem in the underlying NTRU lattice.

Abstract: A system and method for increasing the performance of a satellite communication system by using a multivariate analysis approach to optimize the pointing of the boresight of a satellite-mounted antenna. Optimizing the pointing of the boresight of the antenna minimizes sidelobe generation, and thus Co-Channel Interference (CCI) in geographic areas served by the system. By minimizing CCI, the overall system performance of the communication system is optimized. To optimize the pointing of the boresight of the antenna, the overall performance of the satellite communication system is determined, and the boresight of the antenna is iteratively repointed in the direction of increasing system performance until the optimized boresight pointing is determined. Alternatively, the frequency re-use plan of the satellite communication system may be analyzed to determine a high density cell region and the boresight may be pointed to the high density cell region.
