Title: Fluid filter with magnet and automatic bypass
Inventor: STEIN MYRON
IPC: B01D35/30
Filed: 2002-03-08
Granted: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A filter unit for coupling in-line with a transmission fluid line is provided for filtering ferrous and non-ferrous particulate matter from the transmission fluid. The filter unit includes a filter element (21) situated within a casing (12). The filter unit has an annular magnet (26) mounted on an end thereof. In an operational condition, the magnet is seated against an inner surface of the casing. As the filter becomes clogged, the filter element moves to a bypass position unseating the magnet from the casing. Fluid then bypasses the filter element but still flows around the magnet which continues to attract and trap ferrous particulate matter. A ferrous indicator flag (49) may be positioned on the outside of the casing when the filter element is in its operational position and is released and falls away as a visual indication of a clogged filter element in the bypass position.

Abstract: With the process for producing potato based expandable pellets, an intermediary product is manufactured that is capable of being stored for up to about six months. These pellets can be later expanded into a food product, particularly a potato based snack product that has improved flavor qualities nad increased oil pick up. To form the pellets, a potato meal is passed through a twin screw extruder at a relatively low extruder rotational speed, which increases the residence time and the volume of bed pack in the extruder while decreasing shear. The extrudate produced is then split into ribbons that are subsequently perforated. These ribbons are then formed into shaped pellets.

Title: Method and apparatus for centering a log
Inventor: MORIYAMA NOBUYUKI
IPC: B27C7/04
Filed: 2004-04-23
Granted: 2008-10-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for centering a log allow a optimum yield axis and a maximum radius of rotation of the log to be calculated more accurately than conventionally possible. The angle of rotation of a log M is detected by a rotation angle detector 6 that is engaged with a preliminary axis c about which the log M is rotated. A contour of the log for calculating the optimum yield axis of the log and a contour for calculating the maximum radius of rotation of the log are measured separately. The contour for calculating the optimum yield axis is measured in a fixed-point manner by measuring the log at a plurality of certain measurement points with beam reflection scanners 8 disposed at appropriate intervals along the axis of the log M. The contour for calculating the maximum radius of rotation is measured in a comprehensive manner by measuring the log in a plurality of measurement sections allocated on the log along the axis thereof with virtually no gap therebetween, using swing-angle detectors 15 engaged with contact-swinging detection members provided individually in the plural measurement sections.

Abstract: A wearable article useful for facilitating toilet training is provided. The wearable article includes a wetness sensation member held in close contact with a wearer's skin during use that enhances the wearer's awareness that urination has occurred. The wetness sensation member includes a permeable layer and an impermeable layer. During insults of urine, the permeable layer allows urine to penetrate in the z-direction and provides a medium for the flow of urine in the x-y plane via wicking. The impermeable layer supports the flow of liquid between the permeable and impermeable layers and retains the liquid thereby increasing the wetted area contacting the wearer's skin.

Title: Dispositif de montage a compensation de tolerance
Inventor: STONE ROGER
IPC: F16B29/00
Filed: 2003-09-22
Granted: 2008-08-05
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif de montage (100) à compensation de tolérance comprenant une douille (101) comportant un filetage interne (102) et un filetage externe (104). Cette douille est vissée dans une pièce (P) devant être montée sur une surface. Un boulon (200) est ensuite vissé dans un alésage de la douille à l'aide des filetages internes. Les filetages internes (102) produisent un ajustement serré entre la tige du boulon et les filetages, ce qui empêche temporairement le boulon d'être inséré davantage. On fait ensuite tourner un peu plus le boulon (200), ce qui amène la douille (100) à tourner jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit dévissée de la pièce (P) en direction de la surface de montage, la douille venant alors buter contre la surface de montage, compensant ainsi complètement l'espace de tolérance. Lorsqu'on fait tourner un peu plus le boulon, avec un couple relativement faible, les filetages internes (102) sacrificiels sont arrachés, ce qui permet au boulon d'être complètement serré dans le trou de la surface de montage, permettant ainsi d'assembler simultanément les éléments avec une liaison correctement serrée et de compenser l'espace de tolérance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a present value of the capacity level of a hydraulic crane (1) provided with a lifting cylinder (8), the present value of the capacity level being determined by means of a processing unit (33). The initiation of each new lifting cycle of the crane is detected and a minimum value of each lifting cycle is registered, which represents the lowest hydraulic pressure on the piston side (8a) of the lifting cylinder during the lifting cycle or the lowest cylinder force of the lifting cylinder during the lifting cycle. For at least some of the lifting cycles, the processing unit (33) determines the present value of the capacity level of the crane taking into account a control value (V c) corresponding to: - the minimum value registered for the previous lifting cycle, or - the lowest one of the minimum value registered for the previous lifting cycle and the minimum value registered for the present lifting cycle. The invention also relates to a hydraulic crane (1) comprising means for implementing the inventive method.
