Abstract: A pilot operated valve having an inlet passageway (8) surrounded by an annular seat (6) surrounded by an outlet passageway (110) respectively. The main valve member (7) having turbulence shield (11) of greater diameter than the external diameter of the seat (113) and deflector plate (34). Turbulence shield (11) slows the descent of the valve during closing and prevents water hammer.  Pressure chamber inlet (37 or 14) may have a check valve (15 or 21 respectively). Trigger passageway (17) is remotely operated depending on the application. For example a latching solenoid arrangement (figs. 3 to 7), float (figs. 10 and 11), handle or pressure balanced piston (fig. 15). The latching arrangement involves two solenoids with interacting armatures. As a refuelling valve trigger passageway (17) has a first pilot valve at a distal end opened upon coupling to the destination tank to vent the pilot chamber (12) and open main valve (7). A float comprises a second pilot valve which closes the trigger passageway prior to disengagement of the coupling to trigger the closing ot the main valve (6). A third manually operated pilot valve may be located on the main valve body. As a faucet valve (fgs. 12 to 14) the main valve resides under the counter and the pilot above. In one such arrangement the passageway (17) is concentric with the outlet (10), in another the pressure chamber inlet (14) and trigger (17) passageways are concentric. The pressure chamber (12) and outlet (10) may be concentric and in line (fig. 12).

Title: Gloss sensor resistant to tilting and shifting paper and with improved calibration
Inventor: TYPPO PEKKA M
IPC: G01N21/57
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A gloss sensor for determining the gloss of a surface, for example, of moving paper (11) being produced by a paper making machine. The gloss sensor (10) normally is installed in a scanner which scans the moving paper in a crosswise direction. It includes a standard TAPPI light source (14) which impinges upon the paper (11) at a specified angle and the intensity of the detected reflected light is related to gloss. Calibration is provided by an oscillation angle light source which with the same lamp has a direct reference path to the detector (36). Compensation for tilting or shifting paper is provided by the same oscillating light source which when the paper tilts of shifts still allows a reflected light beam to reach the detector (36). Change of angle from the standard TAPPI angle due to parallel paper shifts is compensated.

In order to save the working process of thread-cutting, a countersunk self--tapping screw (13) is used for fixing the bearing (11). The countersunk self-tapping screw (13) plastically forms an exact internal thread in the bore (9). On tightening of the screw (13), a washer (14) lying under the screw (13) presses on an inner ring (12) of the bearing (11), whereby the bearing (11) is exactly positioned against a shoulder (10) and held by the washer (14).
Patent CA-2290733-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALLANT MARTIN LOUIS JOSEPH
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 1999-11-26
Abstract: A method and system for sequential ordering of missing sequence numbered information frames within a telecommunication system using selective reject (SREJ) frames is disclosed. Upon receiving a sequence numbered information frame from a transmit terminal, a receive terminal determines if it is out of sequence. If the sequence numbered information frame is out of sequence, the receive terminal further checks the sequence numbered information frame to see if a poll bit has been set. If the poll bit is not set, the sequence numbered information frame further checks to see if the sequence numbered information frame is new or retransmitted. If the sequence numbered information frame is new, a list of missing sequence numbers is constructed in ascending sequential order beginning with the missing sequence number one greater than the largest number in the receive queue and ending with N(S)-1. If the sequence numbered information frame is retransmitted, a list of missing sequence numbers is constructed in ascending sequential order beginning with the next smaller missing sequence number in the receive queue plus one and ending with N(S)-1. In either case the ascending sequential order is constructed with respect to the transmit window and the modulo 128 sequence numbering scheme of the LAPD protocol. Thereafter, a select reject frame (SREJ) is sent to the transmit terminal containing a list of the out-of-sequence numbered information frame(s) for re-transmittal.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming an interior panel for a vehicule door includes mandrels (100) which hold rolls of vinyl laminate (44) and fiberglass reinforcing mat (42) and from which sheets of vinyl laminate (43) and reinforcing mat (41) are pulled in overlying relation with respect to each other. The vinyl and mat sheets (43, 41) are tacked together, cut to a predetermined length by a cutting mechanism (48), and moved into a heater (56) by a pin-chain conveyor system (50). In the heater (56), the vinyl (43) and mat (41) are heated until the vinyl (43), which is supported at its edges by the pin-chain conveyor (50), sags a sufficient amount to indicate that the vinyl (43) is sufficiently softened. The heated vinyl (43) and mat (41) are then moved to a vacuum mold part (86) and thereafter a vacuum is applied to draw the vinyl (43) to a molding surface of the vacuum mold part (120). A  vacuum assist, carried on a carrier (84), engages the mat (41) and heated vinyl (43) within the vacuum mold part (86) to press the mat (41) into the heated vinyl (43) to partially embed the mat (41) into the vinyl (43) to secure the mat to the vinyl (43). Thereafter, a foamable and curable urethane substrate material is poured into the formed vinyl and mat (83). A cooperating opposed mold part (88) engages the vacuum mold part (86) and applies heat and pressure to form the urethane substrate material and to cure the substrate material into a relatively rigid substrate which is reinforced by the mat (41).

Patent CA-2298197-A1 (CA)
Title: Fan control
Inventor: SHOEMAKER JIM MILTON
IPC: F01P5/04
Filed: 2000-02-08
Abstract: A fan control system for a vehicle cooling system includes forward and reverse relays connected to a microprocessor based timer control. A third relay is controlled by a single temperature responsive switch or thermostat and selects either the high speed or low speed winding of an electric radiator fan or similar engine cooling device dependent on the temperature sensed by the thermostat. The thermostat also provides an input to the timer control to adjust or interrupt preselected timing functions for certain fan conditions. Upon start-up of the engine, the control initiates a first delay period during which the fan is maintained in the off condition regardless of the temperature of the coolant.  After the initial delay, a second and longer delay period is initiated to maintain the fan in the off condition provided the sensed temperature remains below a preselected level.
