Title: Method and system for performance testing of rotating machines
Inventor: COHEN MENACHEM
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 1999-06-01
Abstract: A method for measuring an angular rotation of a rotating shaft, comprising the steps of attaching to the shaft a digital rotary encoder which generates successive HIGH and LOW logic levels during respective successive time intervals. The shaft is rotated and the respective time periods of each successive logic level generated by the digital rotary encoder are accumulated so as to allow derivation of the angular rotation or a function thereof of the shaft. Such a method produces accurate results regardless of tolerance errors in the duty cycle of the encoder. This may be used for testing a performance of a rotating machine or of a component thereof in order to derive a speed-time characteristic of the rotating machine or a function thereof. Owing to the inherent high measurement resolution of the invention, dynamic performance may be determined accurately as well as steady-state performance without the need to slow down the machines speed of rotation by use of a flywheel.

Patent CA-2356510-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN-BREETVELT LAURA MARILYN
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2001-08-09
Abstract: Disposable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, diapers and incontinence pads, in which two lateral side absorbent leaf/leg elements extend perpendicular to the principal longitudinal absorbent main crotch element of the said absorbent article when worn. The present invention provides for a sustained convex surface contact of the absorbent article with wearers' body. By adhering the two lateral side absorbent leaf/leg elements directly onto the wearers' thigh undergarment the compressive forces of the wearers' thighs effect a postive change in the pad, pushing the principal longitudinal centerline upward to the vaginal area.  The compressive forces of the wearers' thighs now increase resistance against negative deformation of the said present absorbent article thus eliminating sagging, gaping, sliding, slipping and bunching or scrunching of the said article.  Therefore this present invention provides better protection from soiling of the wearers' garments and body while providing comfort to the wearer.
