Title: Hydraulic system sump standpipe
Inventor: HOU YIFEI RAYMOND
IPC: F15B21/047
Filed: 2001-09-25
Granted: 2004-09-21
Abstract: A hydraulic system having a standpipe in a sump with ports on the side of the standpipe and one smaller port on the top of the standpipe. The majority of the oil flows into the standpipe through the side ports thereby reducing the downward suction and flow at the top of the standpipe to eliminate the formation of a vortex at the top of the standpipe.  As a result, less air is drawn into the oil producing a more consistent oil/air mixture and more consistent sump oil level.

Filed: 2001-12-10
Granted: 2005-04-19
Abstract: A method of powder coating at least one surface of a non-conductive object having a plurality of sequential steps.      The first step is pretreating the surface of the non-conductive object to ensure that the surface is suitably cleaned. The second step is to apply a sufficient quantity of moisture on the surface of the non-conductive object to facilitate adhesion of a powder coating to the surface. The next step is to spray a polymer coating powder on the moistened surface of the non-conductive object. This spraying step is done immediately following the application of moisture but prior to a complete evaporation of the applied moisture. The fifth step is to evaporate any remaining applied moisture from the non-conductive object prior to curing. The last step is to cure the coating on the surface of the non-conductive object without decomposing the powder and then either cool or allow the non-conductive object to cool naturally.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mode de transmission d'information diagnostique entré par un système de liens diagnostiques, suite à la détection d'un déclencheur tel que le dépassement d'un seuil d'erreurs ou la direction de l'utilisateur. Ce mode de transmission d'information diagnostique permet à deux modems d'échanger des informations de diagnostic et/ou de test qui, sinon, ne pourraient pas être échangées pendant une communication normale. Ledit mode de transmission d'information diagnostique est déclenché par la transmission d'un message de mode de lien diagnostique de déclenchement à un modem de réception accompagné d'un contrôle de redondance cyclique (CRC). Le modem de réception détermine, sur la base du CRC, l'existence d'un canal de communication robuste. Dans l'affirmative, les deux modems peuvent déclencher un échange d'informations de diagnostic et/ou de test. Dans le cas contraire, la puissance de transmission du modem de transmission est augmentée et le message de mode de lien diagnostique de déclenchement est retransmis au modem de réception, tant que le CRC n'est pas déterminé comme étant correct.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for deinterleaving expanded interleaved data blocks, particularly for use in a wireless telecommunications systems such as provided by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3G) standard.  The data is processed on a sequential element basis where each element has a pre-determined number of bits M which bits are contained in a block of sequential data world W'. The elements are extracted from the block of words W' in sequential order, each element being extracted form either a single or two sequential interleaved words within the set of words W'. The elements are stored in selective location within a set of words W of a deinterleaver memory such that upon completion of the extraction and writing of all the elements, the words W from the deinterleaver memory can be sequentially read out to correspond to an original data block of bits from which the block of interleaved elements was created. Additional conventional processing results in the contraction of the deinterleaved expanded words to reproduce the data block of bits in a receiver as originally designated for transmission in a transmitter.
