Abstract: A device placed in a tank and used for detecting a leakage of liquid in the tank. Vertical measurement tube passages (10, 14) into which the liquid in t he tank is introduced have a measurement tube (10) and a measurement thin tube (14). The measurement thin tube (14) communicates with the measurement tube and is located lower than the measurement tube. The measurement thin tube ha s a cross-sectional area that is equal to or smaller than 1/50 of that of the measurement tube. A thermal flow sensor (16) used for measuring a liquid flo w rate is attached to the measurement thin tube (14). There is provided leakag e detecting means (22) for detecting a leakage of liquid in the tank according to the flow rate value measured by the sensor. The leakage detecting means generates a leakage detection signal when a flow rate value measured by the sensor is greater than 0 and within a range smaller than the flow rate value obtained when liquid is added to the tank or when the liquid in the tank is taken out. Thus, even a leakage of a very small amount is detected easily an d accurately without stopping the use of the tank.

Patent CA-2484201-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LANGE CHARLES H
IPC: G01C19/72
Filed: 2003-04-28
Abstract: A phase jump amplitude and timing controller for suppressing the voltage- dependent errors responsible for the dead band is provided. The phase jump amplitude and timing controller inserts a phase/voltage jump into feedback signal of the loop closure electronics of the fiber optic gyroscope. The phase/voltage jump is provided at a frequency regular enough to ensure that the fiber optic gyroscope will not have enough time to settle into the dead band before the phase/voltage jump is supplied to the loop closure electronics. By providing a recurring phase/voltage jump with amplitude to move the signal out of the dead band, the loop closure electronics averages the voltages-dependent errors over the full feedback voltage range. This err or averaging process effectively eliminates the voltage-dependent errors that cause the dead band phenomenon and allows the loop closure electronics to sense the actual rate of the rotation for the fiber optic gyroscope.

IPC: F02B27/04
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif que l'on utilise pour assurer le tournoiement d'une admission d'un écoulement d'air ou d'une décharge de gaz d'un moteur à combustion interne. Lorsque que le dispositif sert à faire tournoyer l'écoulement de fluide d'admission, il est placé dans le passage d'admission d'air entrant dans le carburateur ou le sous système d'injection de combustible. Le tournoiement de l'air assure un mélange plus complet de l'air et du combustible entrant dans la chambre de combustion du moteur, assurant de ce fait une combustion plus complète du mélange de combustible. Lorsque le dispositif sert à faire tournoyer l'écoulement de fluide sorti, il est placé dans le passage de sortie afin de permettre l'échappement des gaz depuis la tubulure d'échappement. Le tournoiement des gaz d'échappement réduit au minimum le ralentissement de l'écoulement de gaz d'échappement à travers le système d'échappement afin de réduire la contrepression et assurer, ainsi, une combustion plus complète. Le dispositif comprend un jeu d'aubes planes plates montées dans un logement. Les aubes sont inclinées de manière à communiquer un mouvement de tourbillon à l'air d'admission ou aux gaz d'échappement traversant le logement. Les aubes sont également pourvues de bords de fuite incurvés afin de réduire au minimum les entraves à l'écoulement de fluide à travers le logement et de parties d'extrémité de fuite incurvées afin d'améliorer l'efficacité des aubes dans le mouvement de tournoiement communiqué au fluide.
