Title: Fast reacting thermal clutch
Inventor: LEON ROBERT L
IPC: F16D43/00
Filed: 2005-04-21
Abstract: A thermal clutch assembly is comprised of a radially inner rotatable member, a radially outer rotatable member a pair of axially spaced apart ring structures, and a thin tension web. The ring structures are both affixed to and rotate with one of the rotatable members and each has at least one substantially axial surface which may contact substantially axial surfaces of the other rotatable member. The tension web has high tensile strength, a high surface area to volume ratio, a thermally efficient flow arrangement to the surrounding medium, and high thermal conductivity. The tension web is secured to each of the two ring structures and substantially spans the space between the substantially axial surfaces of the ring structures, the web having a significantly higher thermal coefficient of expansion than the material between the substantially axial surfaces of the other rotatable member. In this manner, the web is in tension at temperatures of the surrounding medium below a predetermined temperature thereby causing the substantially axial surfaces of the ring structures to engage the substantially axial surfaces of the other rotatable member for coupling the two rotatable members for rotating together, and is not in tension at temperatures of the surrounding medium at or above the predetermined temperature thereby causing the substantially axial surfaces of the ring structures to disengage from the substantially axial surfaces of the other rotating structure for de-coupling the two rotatable members so they do not rotate together.

Patent CA-2585408-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH PETER J
IPC: E06B3/44
Filed: 2005-10-25
Abstract: A window regulator that resists backdrive forces directly at the lift plate and rail, rather than by the drive assembly. A locking shoe mounted within the lift plate and selectively frictionally engages the rail while the drive assembly is at rest. Thus, any backdrive forces are transmitted from the window glass to the lift plate, and then directly to the rail, avoiding the drive assembly. A release fork that is coupled to the drive cable automatically disengages the locking shoe when the drive assembly is activated, and engages the locking shoe when the drive assembly disengages.
Patent CA-2585984-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SKOROBOGATIY MAKSIM
IPC: G01N21/41
Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: A sensor and method for surface plasmon resonance sensing, wherein a small variation of the refractive index of an ambient medium results in a large variation of loss of a sensing mode. The surface plasmon resonance sensor comprises an antiguiding waveguide including a core characterized by a refractive index and a reflector surrounding the core. The reflector has an external surface and is characterized by a band gap and a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the core. A coating is deposited on the external surface of the core, the coating defining with the ambient medium a coating/ambient medium interface. In operation, the coating is in contact with the ambient medium, and the antiguiding waveguide is supplied with an electromagnetic radiation to (a) propagate a mode for sensing having an effective refractive index lower than the refractive index of the core and higher than a refractive index of an ambient medium and (b) produce surface plasmons at the coating/ambient medium interface. The mode for sensing is phase-matched with the surface plasmons at a wavelength within the band gap and a variation of the refractive index of the ambient medium results in a variation of loss of the sensing mode to detect a characteristic of the ambient medium.
