Abstract: An ATM repeater realizing high speed hop-by-hop forwarding without employing any high speed processor comprises a processor (11) and a forwarding destination retrieving circuit (12) constituted of hardware. The destination retrieving circuit (12) extracts header information from the received IP packet data and searches an associative memory (21) using the header information as a key. When the corresponding forwarding information cannot be acquired by searching the associative memory (21), a pointer table (22) for HASH search is searched by using an HASH function. When forwarding information is acquired from a forwarding table (23) as a result of the search, hop-by-hop forwarding of the IP packet data is performed based on the forwarding information.

Abstract: A water-wiping blade (11) for wiping water from curved surfaces (29) is based on a flexible panel (13) having a height (D12) at least ten percent of the length (D1). The flexible panel (13) comprises an upper and a lower long edge, with a handle (15, 17) attached to the upper long edge, and a lip (21) formed along the lower long edge, the lip (21) ending in a sharp line at the end away from the flexible panel (13). In a preferred embodiment a handle (15, 17) is attached along the upper long edge. By rotating the flexible panel (13) around the handle length and urging the panel (13) into a curved surface (29), the panel (13) can be caused to wrap around the handle length along the curved surface with the sharp line of the lip (21) in contact with the curved surface (29). Translating the panel (13) then is effective in wiping standing water from the curved surface (29). In some embodiments handle extensions may be used to allow positioning the flexible panel (13) in hard-to-reach places. Also in some embodiments a lip (21) is provided to both sides of the flexible panel (13) so either side may be used for wiping water.

Abstract: A screwplug type water heater (10) has a heating element (12) immersible in a water heater tank (T) to heat water (L). Electrical terminals (28) on the outer end of the heater connect the heating element into a heater circuit (H) for a control unit (14).  The control unit also includes a sensing circuit (S) for the unit to be responsive to water temperature inputs to turn-on the heater to heat water to a desired temperature and maintain it there. A thermistor ( 16) provides a temperature input to the control circuit. The thermistor is encapsulated in a bracket (32) mounted in, or integrally formed with, the screwplug to sense water temperature. Terminals (36) on the outer end of the heater allow the thermistor to be connected into the control circuit. By integrally forming the thermistor and its support structure, the heater, the entire assembly can be installed or removed as a single unit. Also, the thermistor can readily be made to be removable from the heater, so that it can be removed without removing the heater.
Patent CA-2285262-C (CA)

Abstract: An optically-based fluid overfill prevention probe has an anti-reflective guard which prevents light external to a prism of the probe from reaching a photodetector of the probe. The probe has a light source which couples light into a prism that is detected by a photodetector when it is internally reflected within the prism. When the prism is contacted by fluid in a contained being monitored, the light from the light source exits the prism, and is no longer detected by the photodetector. To avoid the light exiting the prism from being accidentally reflected back into the prism in a direction which would allow it to be detected by the photodetector, the anti-reflective guard is located within a viewing radius of the photodetector, and blocks light external to the prism which might otherwise be detected by the photodetector. The guard is also located within an optimal reflection distance from the prism, so as to prevent the reflection of light exiting the probe back to the photodetector by a reflective surface located between the guard and the prism. The guard preferably includes a wicking portion proximate to the prism that wicks moisture away from a prism surface. The wicking portion is preferably an edge formed by two surfaces having an acute angle relative to each other.

Abstract: On a setting cart (2) which is movable back and forth between a setting station (ST1) and a vehicle body assembly station (ST2), there are provided floor panel setting members (201-204), side sill receiving members (211, 212) and side panel forcing members (221, 222) which force side panels (W5, W5) toward a floor panel (W1) from a lateral outward. In the setting station (ST1), the floor panel (W1) and the side panels (W5, W5) which are set in position on the setting cart (2) are transferred to a jig (8) which is disposed in a side portion of the vehicle body assembly station (ST2). The side panels (W5, W5) are welded to the floor panel (W1) by welding robots (11) which are disposed at a level below the jig (8). In the above-described arrangement, the side sill receiving members (211, 212) and the side panel forcing members (221, 222) are set on the setting cart (2) so as to be retractable into shunted positions free from interference with the welding robots (11) in welding operation. The welding work by the welding robots (11) can thus be started without waiting for the returning of the setting cart (2) to the setting station (ST1).

Abstract: A trailing arm axle suspension system includes rigid or spring beams for mounting the axle (28) directly to the beam (24) without any or minimal, respectively, additional mounting hardware of structure. An axle mounting plate (43) is formed as part of the preassembled rigid beam or attached to the spring beam, and is formed with a recess (46) that is slightly smaller than or the same size as the smallest axle which will be seated therein. The axle is force fit in the recess under force sufficient to eliminate clearance and create intimate contact between the axle and the axle mounting plate. The force typically deforms the axle from its normal cross-sectional shape, such as round, into a generally oval or ellipitical cross-section shape. Such a force fit also creates a preload or compression between the axle and the axle mounting plate in the recess area. Continuous welds (58) disposed in windows formed in the axle mounting plate are circumferentially offset from recess-defining edges of the axle mounting plate and the vertical axis plane of the axle. The vertical height of the beam in the area of the axle mount, in rigid top mount beam applications, is relatively small to improve clearance in low ride-height applications, and an insert is disposed in this highly loaded area to strengthen the beam.

Filed: 2000-02-24
Granted: 2010-11-16
Abstract: A method for producing recombinant adeno-associated virus in the absence of contaminating helper virus or wild-type virus involves culturing a mammalian host cell containing an rAd/AAV hybrid virus, an AAV rep sequence and an AAV cap sequence under the control of regulatory sequences directing expression thereof. The rAd/AAV hybrid virus contains an rAAV construct to be packaged into an AAV virion in a backbone containing the adenoviral sequences necessary to express E1a and E1b gene products and to permit replication of the hybrid virus. The method of the invention permits replication of the hybrid virus and production of rAAV virion in this host cell in the absence of a helper virus and obviates a subsequent purification step to purify rAAV from contaminating virus.

Abstract: An auto-cycling plunger for use in lifting a fluid out of a well bore. The auto-cycling plunger includes a hollow, longitudinally extending body and at least one first directional outer seal disposed on an exterior surface of the body for creating a seal between the body and a well bore. At least a portion of the at least one first directional outer seal extends in a direction substantially parallel to a length of the longitudinally extending body. The portion of the first directional outer seal is spread resiliently outwardly from the body with an applied pressure, thereby increasing the degree of sealing. The auto-cycling plunger also includes a valve stem including a valve member, the valve stem extending through the longitudinally extending body and having actuable ends extending from the body. The valve stem is operable to be shuttled between an open position and a closed position. When the valve stem is in the open position, the valve member is longitudinally spaced from a valve seat on the body to allow fluid flow through the length of the body.  When the valve stem is in the closed position, the valve member is seated on the valve seat, thereby sealing the body and preventing fluid flow therethrough.
