Title: Interlocking closure device
Inventor: CISEK RONALD J
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: A closure device (121) for a thermoplastic bag (120) which includes two opposing, longitudinally extending interlockable male and female fastening strips (130, 131) having respective male and female closure elements or profiles (134, 136) that are deformed to interdigitate and produce an audible clicking sound and or tactile effect that is perceptible to the touch as the closure device (121) is opened and closed. Interdigitation of the two profiles (134, 136) is achieved by cold forming the profiles (134, 136) while interlocked. The shape of the cold form is a stepped deflection (126a, 126b) of both profiles (134, 136) so that their shapes are generally congruent. The stepped deflections (126a, 126b) provide a change in the occlusion and peel force of the interlocking closure device (121) thereby resulting in an audible clicking or popping sound as the closure device (121) is opened and closed and a tactile effect that is perceptible to the touch as the closure device (121) is closed.

Title: Handle for holding and securing telescoping tubings
Inventor: DUMONT MARC
IPC: F16B7/10
Filed: 2004-05-28
Abstract: A handle for holding and securing telescoping tubings has a handle which when turned, partially threads in or threads out a threaded knob. According to which direction the handle is turned, it causes a block to either become tighter when the threaded knob is threaded in or looser when the threaded knob is threaded out. This either pushes the inner tubing towards the opposite faces of an outer tubing when threading in and increase the friction between the inner and the outer tubing or reduce the friction between the inner tubing and the outer tubing by loosening the block when threading out.

Abstract: A code division multiple access communication system has a plurality of base stations (12(1)-12(N)). Each base station (12(1)-12(N) (12)) transmits a primary synchronization code (PSC) in a primary synchronization channel (PSCH). A user equipment ((UEs) 14(1)-14(N) (14)) monitors the PSCH and correlates the PSCH with the PSC. Using a result of the PSC correlation, PSCH  locations are identified having a PSC peak. For each identified PSCH location, a quality factor comprising a shape factor associated with that location's PSC  peak is determined. For each identified PSCH location, that identified PSCH  location and the quality factor is stored. The PSCH locations and quality factors are accumulated over a number of frames and are processed using logic at algorithms to produce a reliable PSC detection.

Title: Hydraulic drive system and method of operating a hydraulic drive system
Inventor: HARPER GREG
IPC: F15B11/15
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: A hydraulic drive system comprises a hydraulic actuator comprising a pist on that is reciprocable between two cylinder heads for actuating a machine. A flow switching device reverses the direction of hydraulic fluid flow to and from chambers an opposite sides of the piston. The piston stops at the end o f each piston stroke when a shuttle valve associated with the piston opens to allow hydraulic fluid to flow between the piston chambers cancelling the differential pressure that acts on the piston to cause reciprocal movement. In preferred embodiments, a controller is programmed to determine when the piston has reached the end of each piston stroke based upon at least one of hydraulic pump speed, hydraulic fluid pressure, or elapsed time, with each o f these measured during each piston stroke. When the controller determines that the piston has reached the end of a piston stroke, it sends an electron ic signal to command the flow switching device to reverse the direction of hydraulic fluid flow.
