Title: Microwave steel belt location sensor for tires
Inventor: ZOUGHI REZA
IPC: G01B15/02
Filed: 1992-07-17
Abstract: MICROWAVE STEEL BELT LOCATION       SENSOR FOR TIRES                        ABSTRACT    The thickness of the layers of rubber covering the steel belts within a tire can be measured by transmitting a microwave  signal  toward the  outer surface of the tire and measuring the phase shift of the signal reflected by the tire.  In the preferred embodiment,  a  waveguide  is  used  to  direct  the microwave signal toward the tire. A standing wave is created within the waveguide by interference between the transmitted microwave signal and the microwave signal reflected from the tire.  A series of crystal detectors mounted along the length of the waveguide measure the standing wave.  A processor calculates the phase of the reflection coefficient, and determines the thickness of the rubber layer as a predetermined function of the phase.   By proper selection of the microwave  frequency  and  the  spacing  between  the waveguide and the tire, the rubber layer thickness can be uniquely determined as a function of phase for any range of rubber thicknesses likely to be encountered in a tire.  In addition, a phase reversal (from 180° to -180°)  can be arranged to occur at a specific rubber  thickness  by  proper  selection  of  these parameters.  This can be used in the tire retreading process to halt buffing when a predetermined minimum rubber thickness has been reached.

Title: Optimum rotational mode decoupling shock mount configuration for dasds
Inventor: BOIGENZAHN JEFFREY F
IPC: G11B33/08
Filed: 1993-02-18
Abstract: OPTIMUM ROTATIONAL MODE DECOUPLING SHOCK MOUNT             CONFIGURATION FOR DASDS                     ABSTRACT   An apparatus and a method for decoupling external linear vibration from a device mounted in an enclosure, so as to reduce resulting rotational motion of the device. The apparatus comprises n vibration isolation mounts having characteristics and being positioned so that the center of stiffness and the center of damping coincide with the center of mass of the device. The invention may be applied to direct access storage devices having arbilrary mounting configurations where the geometry of the mounting configurations and/or the mass distribution of the head-disc assembly are not necessarily symmetrical. Alternatively, the damping and stiffness parameters may be isotropic in the plane of the device and the axes of the vibration isolation mounts may be disposed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the device. The stiffness and damping constants may be equal for each mounting point and the mounting points may be located so as to be symmetric with respect to each other in the plane of the device. The center of stiffness and the center of mass may also be at the same point along an axis perpendicular to the plane of the device. A balancing mass may be applied to the device to change its center of mass to coincide with the center of stiffness. For a given mass and inertia distribution, isolation mountsare designed to be disposed in polygonally shaped configurations so as to satisfy critical equations, so that complete rigid body mode decoupling occurs. With an assumption that the mount stiffness and damping are to be identical for all mounts, the geometry of the locations arc simplified to have symmetries that result in regular polygons such as an isosceles triangle, a trapezoid, a square, a rectangle, etc.

Abstract: PATENT APPLICATION     For a fish tank to be called "THE THINK TANK" and designed by Veronica Brownie, Catherine Louise Brownie and Mark Robert Ash all of Mississauga Ontario Canada.     Abstract Fish tanks of various shapes and sizes are currently available to hobbyists, but all are flat bottomed.  This makes them difficult to keep clean, since most toxic waste settles on the tank's bottom where filtration units are unable to remove it.    In this invention:    .The flat bottom of the tank is replaced with one contoured downward to cause toxic waste to accumulate in a catchment basin from where it can easily be removed by a gravity fed drainage tap.    .Ancillary design and process innovations as described in the specification section of this application capitalize on various other cleaning and filtration opportunities presented by the re-designed tank bottom.
