Abstract: A scroll compressor including a housing having a compression mechanism and a motor disposed therein, rotatively coupled by a drive shaft. A crankcase is disposed in the housing and supports the compression mechanism. A brake element is operatively engaged with the crankcase with at least one roller located therebetween. The roller has a first position relative to the brake element and the crankcase when the compressor operated in a forward direction, in which forward motion of the orbiting scroll member is unimpeded. At the onset of reverse rotation, the roller has an assumed second position relative to one of the brake element and the crankcase, in which the roller is in binding engagement with the brake element and the crankcase to arrest reverse motion of the orbiting scroll member.

Abstract: The invention comprises a geared drive ring coupler. The geared drive ring coupler comprises two pairs of adjacent drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) rotatably connected to each end of a frame (5). Each pair of drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) is meshed together with the cooperating pair of drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) on the opposing end of the frame (5). The relative spatial arrangement of the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) is maintained by the frame (5), which in turn holds the drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) in a predetermined relationship between the pulley sheaves. The drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) on the driver pulley turn in the same direction as the driver pulley through frictional contact with the sides of the CVT driver pulley sheaves. The drive rings on the driven pulley side rotate in the opposite direction to the drive rings on the driver pulley, since they are meshed together. The driven drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) are then in frictional contact with the sides of the driven pulley sheaves, thereby driving the driven pulley. The effective diameter or radius of each pulley is adjusted by movement of the pulley sheaves. Movement of the pulley sheaves causes the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) to move eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation of their respective pulley. Since the drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) are mechanically connected, the drive rings (1, 2, 3, 4) move with the frame (5) as a unit in response to the movement of the pulley sheaves, thereby changing the effective gear ratio of the transmission.

Abstract: A method for making a continuous, elongated metal composite article is disclosed. The method includes immersing an evacuated plurality of substantially continuous fibers of ceramic boron or carbon into a contained volume of molten metallic matrix material under a vacuum. Then ultrasonic energy is used to cause vibration to permit a portion of the molten metal matrix material to infiltrate into the plurality of fibers at atmospheric pressure. The plurality of fibers are then withdrawn from the volume of material under conditions which permit the material to solidify to provide a continuous, elongated metal composite article comprising a plurality of at least one of substantially continuous, longitudinally positioned ceramic, boron, or carbon fibers in a metal matrix. The article comprises at least 15 percent by volume of the fibers, and has a length of at least 10 meters.

Abstract: A system and method for translating a written document into a computer readable document by recognizing the character written on the document aim at recognizing typed or printed, especially hand-printed or handwritten characters, in the various fields of a form. Providing a pixel representation of the written document, the method allows translating a written document into a computer readable document by i) identifying at least one field into the pixel representation of the document; ii) segmenting each field so as to yield at least one segmented symbol; iii) applying a character recognition method on each segmented symbol; and iii) assigning a computer-readable code to each recognized character resulting from the character recognition method. The character recognition method includes doing a vector quantization on each segmented symbol, and doing a vector classification using a vector base. A learning base is also created based on the optimal elliptic separation method. System and method according to the present invention allow to achieve a substitution rate of near zero.

Abstract: A dual intensive property tissue. The tissue has a first set of intensive properties including density, surface area, thickness and void volume as presented to the consumer. The consumer plastically activates the tissue by pulling it in tension. A series of slits 44 or other lines of weakness elongate in a direction parallel to the line of tension, allowing the tissue to achieve a second state of intensive properties. The value of the second state of intensive properties is different after activation. The change in value of the intensive properties allows for economies in shipping, where a higher density product is shipped to the consumer. At the point of use, the consumer activates the product to achieve the increase surface area and lower density. The increase in surface area and concomitant decrease in density provides for increased efficacy in cleaning. The plastically activatable state may be provided by a series of slits 44 or other lines of weakness in the tissue. The tissue may comprise cellulosic and/or synthetic fibers. The tissue may be used as a facial tissue, bath tissue, paper towel, napkin, body wipe, mophead, etc.

Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: A ClariCone-type clarifies is provided with a level sensor, a flow-condition detector, and a controller that work together for automatic control of a blow-down valve. The flown-condition detector detects a condition of the flow through the tank. The detector sends the input to the controller, which uses the input to determine a desired blow-down level. The level sensor detects the height of slurry in the tank, and the controller opens the valve when the slurry level reaches the level determined by the controller. The valve can be set to close after a predetermined fixed period of time, by a timer, or when the level sensor detects that the slurry level has fallen to a predetermined or calculated blow-down termination level.

Title: Method of modelling the production of hydrocarbons by a subsurface deposit which are subject to depletion
Inventor: LENORMAND ROLAND
IPC: E21B44/00
Filed: 2003-03-17
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of modelling the production of hydrocarbons comprising, for example, relatively-high-viscosity oils. According to the invention, measurements are taken in the laboratory of the respective volumes of oil and gas produced by rock samples from the deposit and the relative permeabilities (Kr) of the rock samples with regard to hydrocarbons. A gas fraction formation and flow model is used to determine a volume transfer coefficient (hv) by means of an empirical function which represents the distribution of nuclei that can be activated at a pressure P (function N(P)) which is set with reference to the preceding measurements. Assuming that the distribution of nuclei N(P) in the rocks of the deposit is the same as the distribution measured in the laboratory, the gas fraction formation and flow model is used to determine the numerical transfer coefficient which corresponds to same inside the deposit at selected depletion rates. In this way, the relative permeabilities can be predicted.
