Inventor: HASEGAWA TERUAKI
IPC: H01R13/46
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: [Object] 
     To prevent male terminal fillings from being deformed due to an attempt
to connect misaligned male and female housings, a
larger receptacle (23) is provided around a female terminal
accommodating portion (22) in a female housing (20), and a smaller receptacle (12)
of a male housing (10) is fittable into the larger receptacle (23). A retainer (40) for
doubly locking female terminal fittings is mounted on the front surface of the
female terminal accommodating portion (22), and projects more forward than an
opening edge (24) of the larger receptacle (23). When an attempt is made to
connect misaligned housings (10,20), an opening edge (24A) at one shorter side
of the larger receptacle (23) may, for example, deeply enter the smaller
receptacle (12). Since the retainer (40) projects more forward than the opening
edge (24) of the larger receptacle (23) and is in contact with an opening edge (16) of
the smaller receptacle (12), the entered opening edge (24A) stays in a position
closer to the opening edge (16) of the smaller receptacle (12), and is prevented
from interfering tabs (13A) of male terminal fittings (13) even if the female housing
(20) is rotated.

Title: Seal for expandable tubular connections
Inventor: SIVLEY IV ROBERT S
IPC: E21B17/042
Filed: 2000-12-11
Abstract: A seal for a radially expansible conduit connection is disclosed. The seal includes a first sealing
surface (40) disposed proximal to an end of a male portion (30) of the connection and a
corresponding second sealing surface (44) diposed proximal to to an end of a female portion (32)
of the connection. The first and said second sealing surfaces (40,44) are substantially opposite
each other upon connection of the male (30) and female (32) portions. The seal includes a first
clearance surface (38) proximal to the first sealing surface (40) and a second clearance surface (42)
proximal to the second sealing surface (44). The first and second clearance surfaces (38,42) are
substantially opposite each other upon connection of the male (30) and female (32) portions. The
first and second clearance surfaces (38,42), and the first and second sealing surfaces (40,44) each
have a diameter such that upon radial expansion of the male portion (30) and the female portion
(32) after coupling together thereof, the clearance surfaces (38,42), remain out of
contact while the sealing surfaces (40,44) contact each other so as to develop a contact pressure. In
one embodiment, the clearance between the sealing surfaces (40,44) prior to expansion is about
30-40 percent of the amount of expansion. In another embodiment, the sealing surfaces (40,44) are
in interference contact prior to expansion. In one embodiment, the clearance surfaces (38,42) have
a clearance prior expansion, of about 50 to 55 percent of the amount of expansion. In a particular
embodiment, the conduit connection is a threaded coupling (34,36).

Abstract: Refuse filling lock comprising a vertical passage (3), a
lid (7) that is rotatable about a shaft (8) between a position
for shutting off a throw-in aperture (4) of the passage and a
position for clearing the throw-in aperture, and a baffle plate
(16) fitted in the passage, which baffle plate is rotatable
about a shaft (17) which is parallel to the shaft of the lid,
and which is connected to the lid by means of lifting means
which comprise a cam (12). When the lid is out of the shut-off
position the lifting means are supported by the cam, which
follows the movement of the lid in order to rotate the baffle
plate between a position in which it clears the passage and a
position in which it substantially blocks the passage. The cam
is rotatable relative to the lid over some distance, for the
purpose of delaying the return to the admission position during
closure.

Abstract: The distance (D 1,2 ) from the first to the second
point (1,2) is computed by generating an acoustic pulse
(14) at the first point (1), measuring the time (ti) taken
by the acoustic pulse (14) to reach the second point (2)
and comparing that time with the time (t 0 ) taken by a
pulse to run on a known distance (X 0 ). Then the distance
(D 2,1 ) from the second to the first point is computed by
generating an acoustic pulse (2,1) at the second point
(2), measuring the time (t 2 ) taken by the acoustic pulse
(24) to reach the first point (1) and comparing that time
(t 2 ) with the time (t 0 ) taken by a pulse to run on a known
distance (X 0 ). Then, the average value of the distance
(D 1,2 ) from the first to the second point (1,2) and of the
distance (D 2,1 ) from the second to the first point (2,1) is
calculated. That average value is assumed as the actual
distance. The major part of the effects of the fluid
motion is cancelled and in particular both effects of air
temperature gradients in the environment and wind are
satisfactorily compensated.

IPC: H01M10/54
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: The lead sulfate (PbSO 4 ) deposited on the surface of
the positive electrode 18 or negative electrode 20 is reduced
owing to the flow of the pulsating direct current from the positive
electrode 18 toward the negative electrode 20 in the sulfation
removing step 34, while at the same time the positive electrode
18 of the lead-acid storage battery 10 is activated through the
electrochemical doping in which the carbon suspension obtained
by the electrolytic oxidation of the carbon positive electrode is
used as at least a part of the battery electrolyte of the lead-acid
storage battery 10 in the electrode activating step 40. Therefore,
it is possible to select, as recyclable batteries, a wider range of
used lead-acid storage batteries, so that even an used lead-acid
storage battery which has a battery electrolyte whose specific
gravity is considerably lowered and which accordingly appears to
suffer from the sulfation can be recovered to have substantially
the same capacity as that of a new lead-acid storage battery.
Thus, the invention permits a wider range of the used lead-acid
storage batteries to be recycled.
