Abstract: L'invention concerne une bande élastique, utilisée notamment pour rembourrer des dossiers de sièges, etc. La bande comporte des fils de caoutchouc (2, 2a, 2b) qui s'étendent dans son sens longitudinal. Des fils de trame (4, 6) avant et arrière en matériau textile non élastique passent de part et d'autre des fils élastiques et transversalement à eux. La bande doit pouvoir être réalisée au crochet. Elle comporte des fils d'armure en matériau textile non élastique, chaque fil de caoutchouc (2, 2a, 2b) comportant deux fils d'armure (7, 8), dont un qui sert de fil d'armure (7) stationnaire, forme une maille toujours autour du même fil de caoutchouc, ainsi qu'autour du fil de trame avant et du fil de trame arrière (4, 6). L'autre fil d'armure (8), celui qui passe au-dessus, ne forme une maille qu'autour du fil de trame (6) situé d'un côté. Le fil d'armure qui passe au-dessus (8) forme des mailles autour d'un premier fil de caoutchouc (2a) et autour d'un nombre impair réduit de fils de trame avant et arrière (4, 6) successifs. Il passe ensuite à un second fil de caoutchouc (2) adjacent avec lequel il forme un nombre identique de mailles de fils de trame avant et arrière successives. Il revient ensuite au premier fil de caoutchouc (2a), etc.

Abstract: A vehicle convertible top (16) is moved by hydraulic cylinders (29) between extreme raised and lowered positions. The cylinder cods are connected (26, 28) to ports (60, 60') in a reversible hydraulic pump (36) in one end of an elongated housing (34), which has a reservoir (40) in the other end, separated by a pump cover (42). The pump cover (42) houses two fluid circuits (60-88 and 60'-88') connecting the pump (36) to the ends of the cylinders (29). Each circuit has an end of cycle hydraulic locking device (78, 80, 98 and 78', 80', 98') comprising a normally-closed valve (78, 80 and 78'. 80') and a valve actuator (90 and 90'). The circuit valves (78, 80 and 78', 80') are alternatively opened by pump pressure to pressurize one end of the cylinders (29) to alternatively raise and lower the top (16). The opened valve (78, 80 or 78', 80') closes when the pump (36) ceases operation, preventing fluid backflow through that circuit to the pump (36). This hydraulically locks the top (16) in extreme raised and lowered positions to facilitate top latching and tonneau installation. A groove (83) in the valve seat (78) forms a leakage path which bypasses the closed valve to slowly reduce hydraulic pressure in the actuator (29) at a predetermined rate until pressure is relieved after a predetermined period of time sufficient to accomplish top latching or tonneau installation. A manually-operated pump bypass (120-140) in the pump cover (42) vents both circuits to the reservoir (40) to enable manual top operation when the pump (36) is inoperative. The pump cap (42) includes makeup valving (150-156 and 150'-156') for accommodating the displacement differential in the cylinders (29).

Abstract: A sensor dispensing instrument includes a sensor magazine that contains a plurality of blood glucose sensors disposed in sensor slots. Each of the sensor slots is in fluid communication with a desiccant cavity in which desiccant material is disposed. The front and rear walls of the sensor magazine are sealed with burst foils so as to seal the sensor slots and the desiccant cavities. The sensor instrument has an outer housing with a laterally extending magazine opening adapted to receive the sensor magazine. A pivot rod is moved through the magazine and an indexing wheel into an operating position with a detent arm on the instrument housing engaging a detent groove on the magazine to position the magazine in a sensor feeding position. Once so positioned, a sensor push rod is pushed forward resulting in the push rod piercing the rear burst foil and engaging a sensor in one of the sensor slots to thereby push the sensor out through the front burst foil and into a testing position. Once a test is completed, the push rod is advanced forward further to thereby eject the used sensor from the sensor handling instrument. The push rod then is retracted to a standby position. As the push rod is being retracted, a pin associated with the push rod causes the indexing wheel to rotate so that the pivot rod is rotated until the detent arm engages another detent groove so that another sensor slot is in alignment with the push rod.

Abstract: An apparatus for recovering oil spilled upon a body of water.  Oil accumulators (10) having numerous open-ended cells (20) entrain spilled oil upon the surfaces (24, 26, 32) of the cells (20) when partially submerged in an area where oil has been spilled upon water. The oil accumulators (10) are rotated so as to lift the oil entrained upon the cell surfaces (24, 26, 32) from the water. An oil remover (12) may have superheated steam nozzles (64) located immediately above the oil accumulator (10). When oil-bearing cells pass beneath the nozzles (64), superheated steam may warm and expel the oil from the cells (20). An oil collector (14) collects the oil removed by the oil remover (12) where gravity flow transports the oil to a storage reservoir.

Abstract: Un système numérique de commutation temporelle comprend un noyau de commutation, ainsi que plusieurs accès de commutation et est conçu pour s'utiliser dans un réseau de télécommunications dans lequel les accès de commutation partagent la largeur de bande d'un bus par multiplexage temporel. Le temps est séparé sur le bus en tranches de temps assemblées en trames, la transmission de données entre les accès de commutation s'effectuant dans des tranches de temps affectées à un accès de commutation respectif par un moyen de commande supérieur, afin d'empêcher un conflit de bus. Chaque accès de commutation peut accéder à la totalité de la largeur de bande du bus et sélectionne, par l'intermédiaire du moyen de contrôle supérieur, les données qui lui sont destinées. De plus, des moyens logiques dans les accès de commutation sont conçus pour attribuer une certaine valeur logique à des données dirigées vers le noyau de commutation et apparaissant dans des tranches de temps non affectées. Le noyau de commutation comprend un moyen de multiplexage (38) servant à multiplexer des données provenant des accès de commutation par l'intermédiaire d'opérations logiques bit par bit, de telle manière que les tranches de temps auxquelles a été attribuée ladite certaine valeur logique, ne contribuent pas activement aux opérations.

Abstract: A coupling for axially fixing a hub on a shaft has locking members slidable in slots of the hub and which are engaged in recesses in the shaft by a collar which holds the locking members in the recesses so as to fix the hub axially on the shaft. In a released position, a shoulder on the collar catches behind a ledge formed on the hub, but only when the shaft is removed from the hub. When the shaft is in the hub, it cams against uncocking members in the form of balls which prevent the collar from being tilted so as to engage the collar shoulder with the ledge on the hub. One embodiment for a larger application has a collar biasing spring radially inside of the collar and axially between the locking members and the shaft entry end of the hub. An embodiment for a smaller application has the spring radially outside of the hub and on the opposite axial side of the locking elements. A shield is provided in this embodiment to enclose the spring chamber.
