Patent CA-2159047-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TSUNODA MASAKI
IPC: F02B75/18
Filed: 1995-09-25
Abstract: In a fuel supply system for a multi-cylinder engine, a pump driving cam is provided between an intake cam and an exhaust cam on a camshaft.  The pump driving cam and a fuel pump are interconnected by a pump driving member.  The pump driving member is slidably supported on a pair of supporting portion projectingly,  integrally provided on a cylinder head and disposed between valve springs of a pair of intake valves.  Thus, the intake valves and the valve springs are prevented from interfering with the pump driving member and the supporting portions and therefore, the fuel pump driven by the camshaft in the multi-cylinder engine can be disposed at a lengthwise intermediate portion of the cam shaft. As a result, the distance between the fuel pump and each of carburetors can be decreased to enable a stable supplying of fuel.

Title: A method and a device for the registration of a vehicle in a road toll
Inventor: BLOMQVIST KENNETH
IPC: G07B15/06
Filed: 1994-05-27
Abstract: Registering of vehicles in a road toll facility provided with radio transmitter and receiver equipment for microwaves arranged to communicate with vehicle units provided in the vehicles, preferably with a transponder.  On command from the road toll facility, identity is obtained from the road toll facility and a toll debiting operation is performed.  When a vehicle enters the toll facility it is detected by means of the activation of the toll facility radio equipment if the vehicle is provided with a vehicle unit and if it is in function for the performance of a correct payment maneuver. Vehicles for which such cannot take place are exposed to a successive position determination by means of video cameras through an image processing in which the vehicle in question is tracked between a predetermined recording site and the position where the payment status of the vehicle has been established by means of the radio equipment.  In the recording site the number plate of the vehicle is recorded for identification by means of a video camera, which identification in conjunction with data such as time and place is used for search and for post-debiting of the toll.

Patent CA-2170370-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for continuous drying in superheated steam
Inventor: STUBBING THOMAS JOHN
IPC: F26B17/04
Filed: 1994-08-23
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a drying enclosure, open-ended inlet and outlet ducts communicating with the enclosure, and conveyors for conveying the material to be dried along the inlet duct, through the enclosure and along the outlet duct.      Superheated steam is generated in the enclosure from the moisture in the material being dried by circulating the initial gas within the enclosure between a heat source and the material, and/or by the injection into the enclosure and a vent duct from the enclosure has an outlet normally at a level midway along the two ducts. In use, superheated steam tending to pass downwardly along the ducts meets external air tending to pass upwardly along the ducts and forms within each duct a temperature and density differential stratification layer. These layers act as barriers to the escape of steam from the enclosure while at the same time permitting the free conveyance of material along the ducts and into and out of the enclosure.

Title: Sealing condition monitoring apparatus
Inventor: PAPINA JAN
IPC: G01M3/36
Filed: 1994-09-26
Abstract: A sealing condition monitoring apparatus detects in a real-time manner a defectiveness of sealing due to entering of a foreign matter or due to defectiveness or malfunction of components of a sealing apparatus.  There are provided a counter bar (30) disposed at the forward end of a counter jaw for sealing a packaging container into which a liquid food is charged, and a sealing bar disposed at the forward end of a heat sealing jaw to face the counter bar (30).  A packaging material (11) is held between the sealing bar and the counter bar, and a pressing force is applied thereto for sealing.  A sheet-shaped pressure sensor (38) is provided on the surface of the counter bar (30) for detecting the pressing force applied to the packaging material (11) at each detection point.  Also, there is provided a controller (36) which compares data of the pressing force detected by the sheet-shaped pressure sensor (38) and master data which are previously set to correspond to a pressing force for obtaining proper sealing conditions.  The controller (36) detects a defectiveness of sealing by comparing the data of detected pressing force and the master data.

Abstract: An anchoring arrangement for the flap which covers the portion of the bladder of an American football which would otherwise be exposed beneath the laces.  The flap is provided with a lateral extension having a hole formed therein.  The hole surrounds the inflation valve of the bladder.  The flap is encouraged to maintain its location when placed on the bladder during assembly of the football.  Glue conventionally employed is eliminated.  Elimination of glue solves two problems.  One is that glue can dry and fail to secure the flap as intended.  The other is that glue clogs holes employed for lacing.

Patent CA-2178681-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAINAL ATTILIO JOSEPH
IPC: H01R13/719
Filed: 1996-06-10
Abstract: A modular electrical connector assembly to which an electrical telecommunication cable is connectable for communicating electrical signals between the connector assembly and cable. The connector assembly includes an electrically nonconductive body and a crosstalk energy emitting electrical interference source on the body and/or on or proximate the connector assembly. Electrically conductive first and second leads on the body define an electrical signal circuit for carrying electrical signals communicatable with the cable. The first lead is located more closely proximate to the interference source than is the second lead such that a greater amount of crosstalk energy from the interference source is electromagnetically impressed on the first lead than on the second lead to thereby define a difference in crosstalk energy on the first and second leads. A parasitic sized RF chip capacitor connects the interference source to the second lead for transferring crosstalk energy therethrough in an amount sufficient to substantially equalize crosstalk energy on the first and second leads and thereby reduce crosstalk-induced interference in the electrical signal circuit.  In this manner and existing Category 3 connector assembly (10 Mbs) is transformed into a Category 5 connector assembly (100 Mbs) for use with signal transmission by optical fiber to buildings and the like.

Patent CA-2182913-A1 (CA)
Title: Pressure-boost device for downhole tools
Inventor: MYHRE MORTEN
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 1996-08-08
Abstract: A pressure-boosting apparatus particularly amenable for use in downhole applications is disclosed. The pressure-boosting apparatus employs an unbalanced piston which is initially fixated in a run-in position. The piston has a flowpath therethrough in which is mounted a check valve. Initially, pressure is applied to above and below the piston which results in an unbalanced force on the piston due to its configuration. Flow to the tool initiates its actuation at this time.  When the unbalanced force reaches a predetermined level, the piston is no longer fixated to the housing and begins to accelerate. Acceleration of the piston closes the check valve due to the sudden decrease in pressure behind the check valve and an increase in pressure in front of the check valve as the fluid volume in front of the piston is compressed. Due to the proportional relationship between pressure and area, a magnification of force originally delivered by the pump is achieved for completion of the setting of a downhole tool such as a packer or bridge plug or the like.

Title: Active adaptive selective control system
Inventor: ALLIE MARK C
IPC: G10K11/178
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: An active adaptive control system introduces a control signal from an output transducer (14) to combine with the system input signal (6) and yield a system output signal (8).  An error transducer (16) senses the system output signal and provides an error signal (44). An adaptive filter model (40) has a model input from a reference signal (42) correlated to the system input signal, and an output outputting a correction signal (46) to the output transducer to introduce the control signal. Performance of the model is selectively controlled to control the signal sent to the output transducer.  Vari-ous monitoring and control methods are provided, includ-ing spectral leak signal monitoring and control, correc-tion signal monitoring and control, frequency responsive spectral transfer function processing of the leak signal and/or the correction signal, reference signal process-ing, and fuzzy logic control.
