Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de chargement pour presse à plateau, qui comporte deux supports de chargement (3A, 3B) pouvant être déplacés transversalement par rapport au sens de transport. Chaque support de chargement (3A, 3B) présente, dans son sens de déplacement, au moins un dispositif de maintien comprenant une bande transporteuse (4), sur le brin supérieur de laquelle repose la pièce à travailler (8) et par l'intermédiaire de laquelle la pièce (9) est déposée sur ou dans la presse. Cette bande convoyeuse (4) est alors animée d'un mouvement tel que la vitesse relative de son brin supérieur, par rapport à la pièce (8) qu'il soutient, est égale à 0 pour tous les états de mouvement du support de chargement (3A, 3B) associé, de sorte qu'il ne se produit aucune espèce de frottement relatif entre la bande convoyeuse (4) et la pièce (8) qu'elle soutient. Ainsi, il est possible de déposer la pièce (8) sur la presse de façon particulièrement précise.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electric-power-assist-type transmission and a shift control method wherein the clutch is put in an engaged or disengaged state in a manner inter-locked with the rotation of a shift spindle and, at normal times, the rotational direction and the rotational speed of the shift spindle rotated by a driving motor are controlled in accordance with a first control procedure. In addition, with the clutch put in a disengaged state, as the rotational speed of the engine exhibits a predicted change, the rotational direction and the rotational speed of the shift spindle are controlled in accordance with a second control procedure which is different from the first control procedure.

Abstract: A transfer printing process is provided which both uses conventional equipment, and which can be used to add second level printing to an existing document such as a passport. All of the information to be applied in a second level printing procedure to a base sheet is assembled as a complete image. The image is printed in reverse, as a stable mirror image, onto the coated surface of a release paper by a conventional laser printer. The release paper carrying the reversed image and the base sheet are then placed into a heated press, with the image adjacent the base sheet. By the use of heat and pressure the image is transferred from the release paper onto the base sheet. The release paper is then removed, leaving the second level printed image on the base sheet.

Inventor: WARD CHRISTOPHER D
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 1998-03-17
Granted: 2008-01-29
Abstract: Subsurface wellbore conditions are measured directly in the wellbore while the fluid circulation system is not pumping. The measured values are recorded at the subsurface location and subsequently transmitted to the well surface when circulation is resumed using pulse telemetry (FPT). Axially spaced measurements are used to obtain differential values. The apparatus (10) includes an assembly having axially spaced inflatable packers (13, 14) that are used to isolate an uncased section of the wellbore (23). The apparatus has self-contained measuring and recording equipment, a fluid receiving reservoir, circulating valving, measurement while drilling equipment (24), and automated controls.  The method is used to directly measure and evaluate conditions including those caused by pumping and drill string movement.

Title: Acceleration protection suit
Inventor: EGLI WENDELIN
IPC: B64D10/00
Filed: 1999-04-20
Granted: 2008-06-17
Abstract: The active part of the suit comprises in part one layer (3, 4) facing the body and another one facing away from it, both of a gas-tight, low stretch textile material, which are joined together at connecting positions (6) by gluing, welding or sewing and thereby create hollow spaces (5), which are connected together via valves (18) and can be put under pressure. Between the regions, which comprise the layers (3, 4) - bands (11, 12) - connecting parts (7) are arranged, which transmit tensile forces only. If the hollow spaces (5) are put under a gas pressure proportional to the z-acceleration, then the suit builds up a compensating applied pressure and thus frees the organism of the pilot from the loading effects of such accelerations. By a suitable choice of the width of the bands (11, 12) in conjunction with the radius of the enclosed part of the body a compensating pressure to the hydrostatic pressure, proportional to the acceleration, of the body fluids can be set up.

Patent CA-2315823-C (CA)
Inventor: HAUMONT SERGE
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 1998-12-11
Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: The basic idea of the invention is to separate the location area used in the RAN  and the reporting area used when reporting the location of the mobile to the core network. The size of the location area is selected preferably in the RAN based on the services used by the subscriber to optimize the use of radio resources. A reporting area comprises one or a plurality of location areas. The size of a reporting area is selected based on the accuracy of location information needed in the core network. The RAN informs the core network when a subscriber moves out of his current location area. The core network and the radio access network negotiate the size of the reporting area prior to the activation of the service. Additionally, the reporting areas can be renegotiated when the service is in the active state.

Title: Method and means for making and conveying an extruded sausage strand
Inventor: VELDKAMP BRENT M
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 1999-10-28
Granted: 2005-03-29
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for producing and processing a strand of sausage (26) or foodstuff has a sausage producing machine (14) which produces a linked strand of sausage for deposit of loops (28) of the strand on the hooks (70) of a continuous conveyor (52). The conveyor (52) picks up the loops (28) of the strand at a loading station (16) immediately adjacent the discharge end of the machine, and conveys the loops (28) to a processing station for smoking or the like. The conveyor (52) then moves the loops to an unloading station (18) for removal of the strand from the conveyor (52), whereupon the conveyor (52) downstream of the unloading station (18) returns to the loading station to pick up additional product. A conveyor take-up mechanism (20) is located immediately downstream from the loading station (16) to permit the conveyor (52) to case movement at the loading station (16) (while the casing on the machine is being replenished) while the conveyor (52) can continue movement in the processing area. Sensors and controls interconnect the machine and the conveyor to coordinate the operational functions of each. A method of producing and processing a strand of sausage or foodstuff involves producing a linked strand of material, depositing linked loops thereof on the hooks of a moving conveyor, controlling the coordinated activity of the production of the product with the movement of the conveyor, moving the product to and through a processing station, and thence to an unloading station, while periodically stopping the movement of the conveyor and the operation of the machine while continuing the movement of the conveyor through the processing area.
