Title: Steer axle brake assembly
Inventor: WHITE JAY DUDLEY
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 1996-03-20
Abstract: A pair of arcuate brake shoes in a vehicle brake assembly are pivotably supported on a pivot pin which is directly mounted to a steering knuckle arid activated by an S-cam type actuator where an S-cam actuator shaft is supported in a support tube which is affached directly to the steering knuckle thereby eliminating the traditional brake spider. Rotation of the S-cam causes a pair of cam followers to separate the brake shoes resulting in frictional contact between the brake shoes and a brake drum. Elimination of the brake spider to support the pivot pin and the S-cam actuator shaft housing reduces complexity for lower cost and improved performance.

Title: Measurement system and method
Inventor: ALDESTAM STEN
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1995-05-17
Abstract: A measurement system comprises at least one sensor unit (s1-sn) which is connected to a processing unit (cp) via a channel unit (ch1-chn). The sensor unit (s1-sn) obtains measurement values and determines a time indication rep-resenting the time at which each measurement value was obtained. Each measurement value and the corresponding time indication are transmitted to the corresponding channel unit, which performs those calculations which require only measurement values from its own sensor unit. The process-ing unit (cp) performs the final calculations requiring mea-surement data from more than one stream of data. It uses the time indications to synchronise the measurement values which have been obtained at the same time, but which may have been received at different times due to processing of varying duration. A method for processing measurement values is also disclosed.

Title: Apparatus and methods for creating and using portable fonts
Inventor: GOLDWATER MARK H
IPC: G06F40/14
Filed: 1995-05-24
Abstract: A computerized system receives characters (219), each having an associated font (217). For each character-font com bination received it accesses a pre-defined font description (in 122) of that combination's shape (453) and then generates a new font description (in 126) of that shape. Preferably when the characters have different fonts, the system automatically creates new font descriptions for all of them. Preferably the received characters are part of an input text (116), and the system pro-duces an output text (104) which includes not only correspond-ing characters (219A), but also the new font descriptions nec-essary to define those character's shape. Preferably the output text can be transferred to other computers by recording media (130) or computer network (132). Preferably the new font de-scriptions are independent of the manner in which pre-defined font descriptions define character-font shapes. Preferably the system can render an image (in 110) of the output text, either on the computer which created it (102A, 102B), or on another computer (108A, 108B).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing an optical data storage disk stamper includes the steps of providing a chemically vapor-deposited, silicon carbide substrate having a toughness of about 4.5 MPam, a roughness of about 1 nm, and a flatness of about 6 µm and depositing a negative photoresist on a surface of the substrate. The substrate has a diameter greater than about 120 mm and a thickness greater than about one mm. The negative photoresist then is exposed with a laser to form a negative, data pattern in the photoresist. The photoresist is developed, and the ceramic substrate is ion machined to form the data pattern, in the substrate, such that a spiral track of ridges and lands is formed wherein each ridge has a height of about in a range of 20 to 200 nm. After the data pattern has been ion machined into the substrate, the developed photoresist is stripped from the substrate.

Patent CA-2196036-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MITCHELL MARK D
IPC: F25J3/06
Filed: 1997-01-27
Abstract: A high efficiency, high rate system for recovering and removing non-condensable gases from a halocarbon composition,  A collection tank with an integral heat exchanger unit is submerged in a liquid heat transfer medium and coupled to the halocarbon composition. Refrigerant injected into the heat transfer medium cools the heat exchanger unit and collection tank allows the separation of gases from the liquid phase of the halocarbon composition.  The gases contained within the liquid phase are separated from the halocarbon composition by reducing pressure in the vapor (ullage) space of the collection tank.  This vapor stream mixture of released gases pass through a flow control orifice that further cools the vapor stream condensing more liquid phase halocarbon from the mixture.  This additional liquid separates from the vapor phase mixture and collects into a liquid trap arrangement of coaxial and helical geometry.  The nitrogen and other non-condensable gases are vented from the outer large chamber of the liquid trap arrangement and are accumulated to pressurize the outer chamber of the liquid trap arrangement with additional transfer gas, if required.  This pressure transfers the liquid phase halocarbon collected in the liquid trap arrangement back into the collection tank and into a receiver external to the system.
