Patent CA-2363512-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN FREDERICK M
IPC: F16H61/48
Filed: 2001-11-21
Abstract: A variable stall speed control device is used with a torque converter of an automatic transmission of an engine for improving the stall speed property of a mechanical power transmission torque converter. The variable stall speed control device includes a lubricating fluid flow housing (4) having one or more internal fluid routing pathways connected to a lubricating fluid reservoir(3). The housing has a fluid inlet (14) and one or more fluid outlets (11) (12) (13) (15).      The internal fluid volume of the housing (4) has a connector (11) connected to the torque converter (6) for regulating fluid flow between the housing (4) and the torque converter (6). The internal fluid volume of the housing (4) has a controllable fluid-flow drain (12) (13) for reducing fluid pressure, respectively, in the fluid-flow connector (11) and in the torque converter (6). The controllable fluid-flow drain has a controllable valve therein and an internal fluid routing pathway governed by the controllable valve for controllably and selectively draining torque converter lubricating fluid from the torque converter (6) for producing controlled intermittent on demand pressure reduction in the lubricating fluid within the torque converter (6) by diverting a flow of lubricating fluid from the fluid-flow connector (11) to the drain means (13) to relieve adverse pressure therewithin. The variable stall control shuts off the flow of lubricating fluid to the torque converter (6), thereby producing an immediate fluid pressure drop within the torque converter (6).

Abstract: An efficient inspection method which can completely prevent, by simple procedures, the occurrence of erroneous operations due to moisture and other atmospheric phenomena during inspections when inspecting, using a dc high voltage, for a pin hole a sealed package in which contents such as conductive fluidic matters and powder or foods are covered with an electrically insulating film. A conductor (4) leading from a voltage output terminal of a dc high-voltage power supply (6) is contacted with or adjoined to a side surface (31) of a sealed package in which conductive contents (1) such as fluidic matters are covered with an electrically insulating film (2) to charge the contents (1) of the sealed package (3). Then, an electrode (5) connected to an earthed wire (8) is adjoined to or contacted with a portion (3a) to be inspected where a pin hole is most likely to occur. A pin hole in the portion (3a) will cause discharge between the electrode (5) and the portion (3a); the absence of a pin hole will not cause discharge. A sensor (7) detects the presence/absence of discharge-caused light or/and noise.

Abstract: A communication architecture for performing work in a distributed computing environment involves client processes on client nodes sending work requests to a director. The director examines the work requests to determine one or more resources required to perform the work as well as one or more server nodes that can provide the required resources. The director then forwards the work requests to server processes on the server nodes that can provide the required resources. The work requests provided to the server processes specify that the work results are to be provided directly from the server processes to the client processes that made the work requests.  The director maintains a table of resource data that specifies the services and/or resources that are provided by and/or made available on the server nodes in the distributed computing environment.

Title: Method and apparatus improving performance of aperture monitoring system
Inventor: HAWLEY STEPHEN A
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: Monitoring system for use in detecting the presence of an obstacle in or proximate to an aperture (20). Materials are applied to one or more reflecting surfaces adjacent the aperture, enabling the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio in the system without requiring tuning the system for the particular environment. The choice of specific material depends upon the type of radiation used for aperture monitoring and whether an obstacle is detected as an increase or decrease in reflected radiation. A calibration LED within the monitoring system enables predictable performance over a range of temperatures. The monitoring system is also provided with the capacity to adjust to variations in the background-reflected radiation, either automatically by monitoring trends in system performance or by external command. The latter case includes the use of a further element for communicating to the monitoring system directly or indirectly.

Title: N-chlorosulfamate compositions having enhanced antimicrobial efficacy
Inventor: HILGERS DEBRA S
IPC: A01N59/02
Filed: 2000-06-28
Abstract: The antimicrobial efficacy of N-chlorosulfamate solutions, namely buffered aqueous combinations of HClNSO3-(mono-N-chlorosulfamate) and Cl12NSO3 (di-N-chlorosulfamate), herein referred to as "stabilized hypochlorite", can be markedly enhanced by the addition of certain organic dopants. The dopants themselves are select hypochlorite stabilizing agents, which are known to readily form stable organochloramides when reacted with "free" hypochlorite (HOCl or NaOCl). Highly effective antimicrobial enhancing dopants include 5,5-dialkyl hydantoins, arylsulfonamides, and succinimides. Examples of these include 5,5-dimethylhydantoin, benzenesulfonamide, and succinimide. Other, less effective dopants include glycolurils. Generally, the dopant is present in a minor mole fraction, relative to the molar amount of stabilized hypochlorite present in the enhanced antimicrobial solution.
