Patent CA-2563076-C (CA)
Inventor: FARQUHAR GRAHAM
IPC: G09F23/00

Abstract: A valve assembly comprises a flapper element and a valve opening assembly that will mechanically open the flapper element. The valve opening assembly is particularly valuable where the flapper element fails to open in response to normal hydraulic opening techniques. The valve opening assembly includes a valve opening sleeve having a generally hemispherical cross-section and an opening portion that presents a pair of opening shoulders. The opening shoulders engage lugs on the flapper element so that movement of the opening sleeve will urge the flapper element to an open position. The valve assembly may be run into the wellbore with the flapper element in the open position, rather than having to be closed, as with a number of conventional valve assemblies.

Abstract: A device is provided for maintaining a desired inflation pressure within a tire mounted on a wheel of a vehicle. The device includes a microcompressor and a magnetic element. The compressor is mounted on the wheel and is in fluid communication with the atmosphere and the tire. The magnetic element is mounted on a stationary member of the wheel assembly and produces a magnetic field. The compressor is activated by transiting the magnetic field during each wheel revolution. Alternatively, an electric coil mounted on the wheel may transit the magnetic field to generate electrical power for an electrically-driven compressor. Thus, the compressor may pump air into the tire to maintain the desired inflation pressure. For leaks or device failure, a driver may be notified and a battery can operate the compressor at a high rate to maximize tire use until a safe place is reached.

Abstract: Des accessoires conçus pour les appareils de levage assistés sont capables de positionner un objet de manière rigide dans un espace tridimensionnel, par exemple des manipulateurs de bras mécanique à commande manuelle assistée par une commande pneumatique, où l'accessoire peut maintenir un objet à placer à distance. Plus particulièrement, un organe effecteur d'un manipulateur pneumatique peut suivre passivement le mouvement d'un objet maintenu et régler activement la position de l'objet maintenu dans une direction arquée par rapport à l'accessoire de l'organe effecteur et du manipulateur. L'organe effecteur peut faire pivoter l'objet autour d'un axe traversant l'organe effecteur qui se déplace également selon un arc par rapport à l'organe effecteur. L'organe effecteur est particulièrement utile pour courber les tôles ou les plaques métalliques à l'aide d'un frein à tôle conventionnel, puisque l'organe effecteur peut à la fois positionner des tôles lourdes dans le frein et suivre le mouvement d'une tôle au moment du courbement. L'organe effecteur peut être utilisé conjointement avec le manipulateur pour retirer la tôle du frein, basculer la tôle à l'aide de la fonction de rotation, puis repositionner la tôle dans le frein pour faire les courbures successives sur ladite tôle sans nécessiter que l'organe effecteur libère la tôle.
