Patent EP-1359081-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LIVENGOOD GREGORY B
IPC: B62D1/184
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: A steering column (10) includes a support (24)
through which a steering column member (12) extends.
An over-center locking mechanism (130) locks the
support (24) in any one of a plurality of positions
relative to a mounting bracket (66). The locking
mechanism (130) has a locking member (132) that has a
first position in which a portion (46) of the
support (24) and a portion (72) of the mounting
bracket (66) are urged toward each other to prevent
movement of the support (24) relative to the mounting
bracket (66). The locking member (132) has a second
position in which the support (24) and the mounting
bracket (66) are movable relative to each other. The
locking mechanism (130) applies a first force to the
locking member (132) to move the locking member from
the first position to the second position and applies a
second force to the locking member to move the locking
member from the second position to the first position.
The locking mechanism (130) only applies a force to the
locking member (132) to move the locking member between
the first and second positions.

Abstract: In a paper-making process a wet or dry web of paper or carton moves between two points during which it is subjected to tensile forces of up to approx. 1000 N/m. In lieu of prior art roller drums the web is esp. transported over one or more lines of supporting non-contact air jets (2). During passage over the jet the web is deflected through an angle of approx. up to 7.  The jet is emitted from a side-jets in a hollow beam transverse to the direction of web motion. The jets (3, 4) are located along the beam receiving threshold and departure threshold. The jets are arrayed in two or more lines. One first row of jets is tilted against the direction of the oncoming web movement and the second row is tilted with the direction of web movement, forming an air cushion.

Abstract: A papermaking assembly has a continually-moving dewatering belt (1) which repeatedly passes a cleaning station (3) in which a fluid is directed at the belt by a spray jet (5). After leaving the zone in which the belt is washed, the belt passes through a second station in which it is exposed to a blower (4) air jet (6).  The washing station has a cleaning unit which directs a rotating spray jet (5) under a hood (3) at the belt upper face at a distance of from 10 to 50 mm. The hood is coupled to an air suction pipe (8). The spray jet directs water and cleaning additives at a temperature of 20-120C at a pressure of 10 to 1000 bar. Some of the fluid passes through the belt and is retained by the water trap. The air blow-jet (6) has a slot air outlet and directs air at a temperature of 30 to 150C and pressure of between 1 and 20 bar at the belt. The jet is presented at an angle of approx. 60 to the belt and lifts surplus water from the belt and promotes drying.

Abstract: A method of reducing ringing artifacts in image data that
has been filtered with a high frequency emphasis filter. For
each filtered data value, a local variance is calculated from
data values at neighboring filter taps. This variance is
compared to a threshold, and if the threshold is exceeded, the
filtered data value is limited between local minimum and maximum
values. A method of reducing noise, also using the local
variance, is also described.

Abstract: A unique volume license key (VLK) is provided to a volume license holder. A
signed file containing the VLK and the data derived from volume license holder's
submitted computing environment information is provided to the volume license holder
along with the licensed software. The license file is stored in a central location, such as on
an installation server, or locally on client machines, in a rather large file of any type. Upon
logon, the license file is read, the data authenticated and the system is activated. If license
data cannot be authenticated, a connected system either fully functions in grace period or
run in reduced functionality mode until authentication succeeds. If the system is
disconnected, the system is functional only with disconnected features until it joins a
network again. In a completely off-line installation, the license file is generated by the
volume license holder using software vendor assigned specific VLK and software vendor
provided security hardware device. The distribution methods of software package, the
VLK, and the license file can be flexible, including, but not limited to, single or multiple
media.

Inventor: JENKINS MICHAEL
IPC: F16H1/16
Filed: 2004-10-22
Abstract: A brake (100) of a concrete finishing trowel (10) responds automatically to the cessation of
drive torque delivery to the rotor to actively brake the trowel's drive train, hence
inhibiting or preventing frame rotation. The brake (100) preferably takes advantages of
inherent characteristics of an inclined gear (82), such as a worm of a gearbox, to permit an
internal component of the gearbox to shift automatically upon the cessation of drive
torque therethrough from a brake released position to a brake engaged position. In the
case of a worm gear-based gearbox (40), the worm (80) is configured such that reaction forces that
are normally generated by the delivery of drive torque therethrough shift the worm to
release the brake during normal trowel operation. These forces are eliminated in the
absence of drive torque transfer, permitting the worm to shift to a brake engaged position.
