Title: Hydraulic drive system for a vehicle
Inventor: PUETT EDWIN E JR
IPC: F15B11/16
Filed: 1996-04-25
Granted: 1999-02-18
Abstract: A hydraulic drive system for a vehicle includes a pressurizing circuit and a working circuit that are interconnected by suitable valving. The pressurizing circuit incorporates a fixed displacement pump which is driven by a prime mover having a nominal horsepower rating. The prime mover is shifted between an idling speed when the pressure sensed within the pressurizing circuit is within a desired range and an optimum high RPM range when the pressure within the pressurizing circuit falls below the desired range. At least one accumulator is provided in the pressurizing circuit. The working circuit includes a plurality of motor units for driving the vehicle wheels and a plurality of motor control valves which can be placed in a de-activated position to isolate the associated motor unit from the flow of pressurized fluid and an activated position wherein the motor unit aids in driving the vehicle. The vehicle is shifted between various gear ranges by controlling the activation/de-activation of the motor control valves such that, as vehicle speed and drive resistance decreases, the number of motor units being used to propel the vehicle is reduced from a maximum number of four motor units to a single motor unit. A flow control valve is provided to alter the volume of fluid flowing to the various motor units based on desired speed/acceleration parameters as determined by the vehicle operator through a conventional accelerator pedal.

Title: Methods for the processing of hard-shelled crustaceans
Inventor: GALLANT CYRIL G
IPC: A22C29/02
Filed: 2000-07-14
Granted: 2004-06-10
Abstract: Methods are provided for the optimization of the utilization of crustaceans, e.g., lobsters and crabs, especially through the use of underutilized components thereof. The methods include separating the intact shell of hard-shelled crustaceans from the raw edible meat contained therein which is very strongly attached to the shells. The methods each include the first step of initiating the detachment of the raw edible meat from the intact shell by several alternative steps. One such step involves the treatment of the crustacean cell with a protease enzyme. Another such step involves the subjecting of the crustacean shell to at least one freeze-thaw cycle. The thawing may be carried out in cold water or in cold brine to minimize deterioration of the flavour of the crustacean meat. Still another step involves subjecting the crustacean intact shell to the action of a superchilled ice/salt mixture which would have a maximum concentration of salt which can bring the temperature down to the eutectic temperature, e.g., +3  DEG C to -3  DEG C. The intact crustacean shell is then separated from the raw edible meat by several different alternative steps. One alternative step includes subjecting the so-treated intact crustacean shell to vacuum aspiration to separate the intact crustacean shell from the raw edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw edible crustacean meat. Another alternative step includes manually separating the intact crustacean shell from the raw intact edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw intact edible crustacean meat from the intact crustacean shell. These methods are particularly applicable to the recovery of raw edible crustacean meat from underutilized portions of hard-shelled crustaceans, e.g., lobsters of the <i>Homaridae</i> family, as well as for the recovery of raw edible intact crustacean meat from hard-to-process hard-shelled crustaceans, e.g., Spiny lobster, Northern Stone crab (<i>Lithodes maja</i>), Porcupine crab (<i>Neolithodes grimaldii</i>), Irish crab (Cancer <i>pagurus</i>) and Jonah crab (Cancer <i>borealis</i>). Procedures are further-described for the utilization of such recovered raw meat fraction, e.g., to provide stuffing for, and to provide stuffed crustaceans, e.g., <i>Homaridae</i> lobsters, Spiny lobsters and crab.

Title: Pipe coupling
Inventor: STRAUB IMMANUEL
IPC: F16L17/02
Filed: 1991-06-18
Granted: 1992-09-03
Abstract: A pipe coupling having an elastomer sealing sleeve which is approximately C-shaped in cross-section has a cylindrical housing which is split in the longitudinal direction, and which defines inwardly bent end walls and can be constricted like a pipe clip by means of a closure having tensioning screws, in which arrangement the sleeve, which is enclosed at the end faces and at the circumference by the housing and by a metal insert sheet bridging the housing gap and is approximately C-shaped in cross-section, is compressed in the circumferential direction and is brought to bear against the pipes to be coupled. Sliding rings, which are compressible in the circumferential direction, are located between the end faces of the sleeve and the end walls of the housing. Upon assembly of the coupling, these sliding rings are brought to bear against the outer walls of the pipes and form a sliding seat with the latter. This leads to increased insensitivity to changes with regard to the relative position of the sealing parts and the parts to be sealed, as well as to further increases in the existing adaptability of the coupling to irregular pipes.

Title: Constant current supply equipment for large number of lighting units - involves arranging units in groups supplied in series
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 1970-06-06
Abstract: The method is used for lighting units which are spread over a large area e.g. street lighting, airport, and runway lighting. The lighting units are arranged so that the neighbouring units to any one unit are supplied from separate circuits. Thus the overall lighting is not reduced very much by loss of one circuit. To avoid loss of lighting with loss of mains supply, each group circuit is fed by a single phase inverter from a d.c. battery source and mains rectifier. The lighting units in one group circuit are all connected in series, and the inverter output current is regulated. Thus all lighting units may give an equal amount of light if the output current of all the inverters is set to the same value.
