Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de développer un algorithme de prédiction de panne dans un équipement mobile, tel qu'une locomotive (10), ce système possédant plusieurs sous-systèmes. Le procédé permet d'effectuer une analyse d'un mode panne dans le sous-système correspondant, de manière à identifier des modes panne cibles du sous-système et/ou à collecter des données expertes relatives audit sous-système correspondant. Le procédé consiste à identifier, en fonction des modes panne identifiés et/ou des données expertes collectées, au moins un signal à surveiller afin de mesurer une performance du sous-système correspondant; et à générer, en fonction des signaux surveillés, un signal de prédiction indicateur de la présence des modes panne cibles identifiés dans le sous-système correspondant.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for obtaining fades of geological formations for identifying mineral deposits. Logging instruments (16) are moved in a borehole (10) to produce log measurements at successive levels of the borehole. The set of measurements at each such level of the borehole interval is associated with reference sample points within a multidimensional space. The multidimensional scatter of sample points is analyzed to determine a set of characteristic modes. The sample points associated with characteristic modes are grouped to identify clusters. A fades is designated for each of the clusters and a graphic representation of the succession of facies as a function of the depth is thus obtained. To identify the clusters, a "neighboring index" of each log measurement point in the data set is calculated (510). Next, small natural groups of points are formed (515) based on the use of the neighboring index to determine a K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) attraction for each point. Independently of the natural group formation, an optimal number of clusters is calculated (520) based on a Kernel Representative Index (KRI) and based on a user-specified resolution. Lastly, based on the data calculated from the prior steps, final clusters are formed (530) by merging the smaller clusters.

Granted: 2006-03-28
Abstract: This insulating building panel encloses a vacuum between two parallel plates that are separated at their edges by a post frame. Within the vacuum chamber, a support structure prevents implosion of the panel due to suction pressure.        Glass plated vacuum panels form windows and steel plated panels cover other exterior surfaces, but materials. used are not restricted to those mentioned.        When vacuum is applied, the plates engage the past frame in an airtight manner with no other means of attachment between them except at an anchor point in each steel plated panel where plates are held to their post frames in order to maintain their relative positions to each other.        When the weather exposed plane of a steel plated panel expands or contracts away from the anchor point in relation to the post frame due to fluctuating outside temperatures, the plate slides laterally over the post frame without obstruction and without forcing an accompanying movement of the post frame. Warping, which would otherwise render the panel impractical, is thereby eliminated.        Stress upon support structures in steel plated panels due to thermally induced movement of weather exposed plates is also eliminated, spacers between plates being spheres that roll with such movement.

Abstract: Electrical components projecting outwardly from the storage tank portion of an electric water heater are shielded from foam insulation material being injected into an insulation space between the tank and an outer jacket portion of the water heater by a hollow, open sided foam dam structure extending through a jacket opening and circumscribing the electrical components. Force exerting projections on the dam engage the interior side surface of the jacket and forcibly hold the inner side of the dam structure in sealing engagement with the tank. The projections also hold an outer side peripheral lip of the dam in a an outwardly and resiliently deflected orientation in which it is sealingly pressed inwardly against the outer side surface of the jacket around the periphery of the opening therein to prevent injected foam from being forced outwardly through the jacket opening.

Abstract: A surgical severing and stapling instrument clamps, suitable for laparoscopic and endoscopic clinical procedures, clamps tissue within an end effector of an elongate channel pivotally opposed by an anvil. An E-beam firing bar moves distally through the clamped end effector to sever tissue and to drive staples on each side of the cut. The E-beam firing bar affirmatively spaces the spaces the anvil from the elongate channel to assure properly formed closed staples, especially when an amount of tissue is clamped that is inadequate to space the end effector. In particular, an upper pin of the firing bar longitudinally moves through an anvil slot and a channel clot is captured between a lower cap and a middle pin of the firing bar to assure a minimum spacing.
