Abstract: Wall constructions and methods for constructing walls. In one embodiment, the wall is constructed from studs that each having a web that has at least one opening therein. The studs are oriented such that the openings in their webs are aligned to permit at least one spacer member to extend therethrough.     The spacer members are formed with structure for engaging portions of the webs through which they extend. Retainers are provided on the webs of the studs for retaining the spacer members in position. In another embodiment at least two studs that have webs with openings therethrough are oriented such that the openings are aligned with each other. At least one spacer member is inserted through the aligned openings to engage a portion of each web through which they extend. The spacers are then brought into engagement with retainers on the webs of the studs.

Abstract: A friction device includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the device in response to wear on a friction surface within the device. The adjustment mechanism includes a first cam ring and a second cam ring adjacent the first cam ring. In one embodiment, the first cam ring is adapted for axial, but non-rotational movement with respect to a cover of the friction device, the cover being secured to a driving member for transmitting torque. The second cam ring is adapted for rotational movement with respect to the cover and the first cam ring. The first cam ring has a plurality of annular ramped surfaces on an axial face of the first cam ring. The second cam ring has a plurality of annular ramped surfaces on an axial face opposing the axial face of the first cam ring. The second cam ring is rotated with respect to the first cam ring such that the ramped surfaces cam against each other to increase the axial displacement of the first cam ring and the second cam ring, whereby the axial displacement is adapted to compensate for wear on a friction surface of a member of the friction device.
Patent CA-2400813-C (CA)

Abstract: A known method exists for producing a composite nonwoven from at least one carded nonwoven and a wood pulp layer placed on said carded nonwoven, for producing a hygiene product. According to this method, the carded nonwoven is hydrody--namically needled before the pulp layer is applied in order to increase the resistance of the nonwoven. However this means that the nonwoven is wet when the pulp layer is applied. The moisture is disadvantageous for the circulation and therefore, the distribution of the pulp. The carded nonwoven still has to be consolidated in order to achie ve sufficient resistance to wear by friction. According to the invention, this problem is solved by subjecting the carded nonwoven to action by air or calendering the carded nonwoven before it is coated with the super-absorbent material in order to pre-consolidate said carded nonwoven. The wood pulp layer is applied and the two are then consolidated together by hydrodynamic water needling and dried. This may be followed by additional calendering.

Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: Armature pour une courroie de caoutchouc en V et matière constituant ladite armature. Cette armature possède une structure en lamelles et est constituée de polyester, de nylon ou de bandes d'acier, etc. La structure en lamelles augmente la rigidité transversale de la courroie et la puissance de transmission. En outre, la force de cisaillement entre deux lamelles adjacentes est évitée, ce qui prolonge la durée de vie de la courroie. Ladite structure en lamelles permet de simplifier le processus de fabrication de la courroie et d'en réduire le coût. Elle présente en outre une plus faible élasticité à la traction, ce qui permet d'éviter l'ajustement fréquent de la courroie en forme de V lors de l'utilisation.

Abstract: A half ball valve includes a body including cavity having an assembly opening, a stem opening formed at a side of the body opposite to the assembly opening to connect the cavity and the outside, and a first connection hole inclined with respect to an axis of the stem opening. A valve element is accommodated in the cavity of the body through the assembly opening to be capable of rotating to switch between an open position at which the first connection hole is open and a close position at which the first connection hole is blocked. A passage is formed in the valve element inclined with respect to an axis of the stem opening and is connected to the first connection hole at the open position. A stem connects a control lever outside the body and the valve element along the stem opening. A body cap having a second connection hole connected to the passage of the valve element is coupled to the body to cover the cavity at the assembly opening side. A packing is interposed between an outer surface of the valve element and an inner wall of the body. Thus, the size of the valve element can be reduced and, when the passage in the pipeline is blocked, the fluid flowing in the pipeline is not confined in the passage of the valve element. Also, not only is dead space not formed but also the gap between the valve element and the body is completely sealed by the space filler, so that the fluid flowing through the pipeline is prevented from remaining in the gap and being deposited therein. Furthermore, the full bore concept can be realized in which no difference exists between the amount of the fluid that is coming in through the inlet and the amount of the fluid that is discharged through the outlet in the ball valve installed on the pipeline.

Granted: 2008-04-15
Abstract: A water filtration system incorporating a fluid flow meter has a modular turbine casing assembly in which a turbine is located between upstream and downstream casing elements of identical shape and formed to be stacked so as to trap the turbine in between. The turbine is magnetized and rotation of the turbine is monitored electronically with a reed switch having a lead wire which is positioned proximate to the turbine to sense fluctuations in a magnetic field created by the turbine on rotation of the turbine. The reed switch housing itself is disposed at a location remote from the turbine. The system further includes a processor for calculating an adjusted accumulated count data for low volumetric flow rates which are less than a predetermined threshold value. Advantageously, the invention can be used to reliably measure very low flow rates with very little power drawn.

Abstract: A control system for operating and integrating automated applications in a small building environment. The control system includes a plurality of application controllers (14, 16, 18) that control the operation of various automated applications, such as HVAC, lighting, access control and security.  The control system further includes a local control interface (12) that integrates and coordinates/controls operation of the various application controllers (14, 16, 18). The local control interface (12) is reprogrammed with profiles for each of the different types of application controllers (14, 16, 18) designed to operate with the system, but also is able to acquire new profiles from new or custom application controllers that are unknown to the local control interface at the time of installation. The profiles include control variable definitions for each of the control variables supported by the corresponding application controller. This information permits self-configuration of the application controllers. The control interface and application controllers communicate with explicit messages using explicit addressing. The structure of the explicit messages is preferably preprogrammed into the control interface and the application controllers.
