Title: Suspension pour fourche de bicyclette, dotee d'un seul systeme a ressort de compression primaire
Inventor: MCANDREWS MICHAEL L
IPC: F16F1/04
Filed: 1998-06-23
Abstract: Fourche (10) de bicyclette possédant une suspension constituée d'un ensemble (50) primaire ressort de compression situé dans une seule des pattes (14, 16) de la fourche. Un ensemble de répartition de charges (52) est placé dans au moins une des pattes (14, 16) de fourche afin de répartir les charges transmises à la fourche (10) pendant une course de compression. Par conséquent, une application asymétrique des charges qui résulterait de la présence d'un seul ensemble (50) ressort de compression d'un seul côté de la fourche est réduite, sinon complètement éliminée. L'ensemble de répartition des charges (52) est conçu de préférence de manière qu'il commence la répartition des charges pendant la dernière moitié, et de préférence le dernier tiers de la course de compression. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'ensemble de répartition des charges (52) comporte un ressort (80) de répartition des charges et un élément d'écartement (82) de ressort de répartition des charges.

Abstract: An accessory drive system for an internal combustion engine includes a multi-ribbed belt and pulley system. Shear generators are machined, formed or molded and extend axially from the driving pulley's faces such that the shear generators expand the drive belt in a plurality of regions. The shear generators are formed as either spheroids projecting into the V of the V-pulley such that the spheroids extend from two faces of adjacent grooves at approximately the midpoint between the root and apex of the V, or as shifted circumferential grooves of a multi-ribbed pulley having a continuous wave pattern. These shear generators cause a plurality of localized high tension regions at the highest pressure zone of the belt/pulley friction interface, improving circumferential friction, and therefore torque capacity, with minimal effect on belt wear due to their smoothness.

Inventor: GANMUKHI MAHESH N
IPC: H04L47/52
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: A packet scheduler is disclosed which provides a high degree of fairness in scheduling packets associated with different sessions. The scheduler also minimizes packet delay for packet transmission from a plurality of sessions which may have different requirements and may operate at different transfer rates. When a packet is received by the scheduler, the packet is assigned its own packet virtual start time based on whether the session has any pending packets and the values of the virtual finish time of the previous packet in the session and the packets arrival time. The scheduler then determines a virtual finish time of the packet by determining the transfer time required for the packet based upon its length and rate and by adding the transfer time to the packet virtual start time of the packet. The packet with the smallest virtual finish time is then scheduled for transfer. By selecting packets for transmission in the above described manner, the available bandwidth may be shared in pro-rata proportion to the guaranteed session rate, thereby providing a scheduler with a high degree of fairness while also minimizing the amount of time a packet waits in the scheduler before being served.

Abstract: A container distribution apparatus having a frame surrounding a revolvable turret, the revolvable turret comprises intermediate transport members in the shape of slots adapted to receive containers from a feeding member such as a conveyor belt, to transport and to deliver containers to accumulator members located between the revolvable turret and the processing machines, to retrieve containers from accumulator members, and to transport containers to a exiting member such as a conveyor belt, each accumulator member is capable of carrying containers to and from a processing machine. A synchronization unit coordinates the transfer of containers to and from the accumulator members by activating a drive mechanism in a step-like manner to rotate the revolvable turret and by activating the opening and closing of gates located at the junction of the intermediate transport members and the accumulator members. Processing machines are positioned around the container distribution apparatus and are supplied with unprocessed containers and relieved of processed container. All Processing machines around the container distribution apparatus perform the same task. This arrangement creates a processing system that is faster then previously known processing systems.
