Title: Segment de concentricite
Inventor: SWIDERSKI JOSEPH J
IPC: F01D25/00
Filed: 2000-06-07
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode d'assemblage d'une turbine à gaz employant un segment de concentricité (1) pour compenser les tolérances d'assemblage. Lors de la rotation, les extrémités (8) des pales de la turbine à gaz (3) décrivent une surface de rotation concentrique à l'axe (5) de l'arbre. En raison des tolérances cumulées lors de la fabrication et de l'assemblage des pièces, l'axe de l'arbre est, de façon invariable, radialement excentrique à l'axe du moteur dans la position axiale de la turbine. L'excentricité d'assemblage se situe dans une gamme entre zéro et une tolérance d'assemblage admissible prédéterminée. L'invention concerne également le positionnement d'un segment de concentricité (1) avec ; une surface cylindrique externe (18) engageant la surface cylindrique interne (19) du boîtier moteur ; et une surface cylindrique interne engageant la surface cylindrique externe de l'enveloppe de turbine. L'excentricité des surfaces cylindriques externe et interne du segment de concentricité (1) se situe dans une gamme entre zéro et une tolérance d'assemblage admissible prédéterminée, afin de corriger l'excentricité d'assemblage des pièces fixes et mobiles d'une manière simple et rapide.

Title: Human power amplifier for lifting load including apparatus for preventing slack in lifting cable
Inventor: KAZEROONI HOMAYOON
IPC: B66C1/02
Filed: 2000-02-17
Granted: 2005-05-24
Abstract: A human power amplifier assist device (10) includes an end-effector (14) that is grasped by a human operator and applied to a load (25). The end-effector (14) is suspended, via a line (13), from a take-up pulley (11), winch or drum that is driven by an actuator (12) to lift or lower the load (25). The end-effector (14) includes a force sensor (31) that measures the vertical force imposed on the end-effector (14) by the operator and delivers a signal to a controller (20). The controller (20) and actuator (12) are structured in such a way that a predetermined percentage of the force necessary to lift or lower the load (25) is applied by the actuator (12), with the remaining force being supplied by the operator. The load (25) thus feels lighter to the operator, but the operator does not lose the sense of lifting against both the gravitation and inertial forces originating in the load (25).

Abstract: Chaque bloc EEC subit un codage de correction d'erreur lors de la copie, et au cas où il faille réécrire un seul octet du bloc EEC, tout le bloc EEC contenant l'octet doit être lu et écrit. Si les données audio copiées sont réparties entre les blocs EEC, il peut s'avérer nécessaire de réécrire presque tous les blocs EEC, soit toutes les données, pour procéder à la copie des données audio. Selon l'invention, les données d'origine sont exclues des blocs EEC contenant des données copiées. Ainsi, les quantités excessives de données d'origine ne seront pas écrites lors de la ré-écriture des données copiées.

Title: Stationary axle/wheel lock device
Inventor: HOWITT DOUGLAS R
IPC: B60R25/09
Filed: 2002-04-16
Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: A stationary axle / wheel lock anti-theft device for positioning and encumbering vehicle axle / wheel assembly movement in X - Y - Z - axis planes. Said device includes a base, a cylindrical blocking member and a security lock assembly. A frontal wheel barrier integral to the base restricts access to the front face of the vehicle wheel rim, axle hub, wheel nuts and cylindrical blocking member. Said barrier provides a restraining bore for the cylindrical blocking member in the locked position. Wheel chocks integral to the base localizes the vehicle wheel assembly, substantially aligning the vehicle axle with the cylindrical blocking member coaxially. The cylindrical blocking member is restrained in the extended position by mechanical means and serves to protect a security lock device from tampering. The cylindrical blocking member obstructs forward or rearward movement once the vehicle wheel assembly makes contact.

Abstract: The velocity of detonation of an explosive such as detonating cord (18, 22) is controlled by the addition of a diluent to the explosive, e.g., to the core of the detonating cord (18, 22). An explosively inert diluent, or a diluent comprised of an explosive of lower brisance than the principal explosive comprising the core of the detonating cord, will serve to reduce the velocity of detonation. Such reduced velocity of detonation. Such reduced velocity of detonation has beneficial effects in certain operations, including cleaving rock (10), wherein it is observed to significantly reduce radial cracks (24) and stickers (26) (long radial cracks) in the vicinity of the boreholes (12) in which the low-velocity detonating cord (18, 22) is functioned to cleave the rock (10). The low-velocity detonating cord also facilitates leaving behind a smoother face in cutting trenches and tunnels through rock. The method of manufacture of low-velocity detonating cord includes incorporating a suitable diluent, such as phenolic microballoons, into an explosive core of, e.g. PETN.

Title: Seed flap for controlling seed placement
Inventor: SCHILLING ROBIN
IPC: A01C5/06
Filed: 2003-02-28
Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: A seed flap for a disc opener associates with an air seeder operable to place seed and fertilizer into a furrow formed in the ground by the disc opener. The seed flap is formed from a non-flexible material, such as an abrasion resistant steel, and pivotally mounted to the seed tube to permit the seed flap to trail behind the seed tube and control the placement of seeds and/or fertilizer discharged from the seed tube. The pivotal mounting of the seed flap will provide movement of the seed flap relative to the seed tube to permit the seed flap to more consistently align with the bottom of the furrow and better follow the furrow bottom created by the disc opener while the disc opener is moving through a turn. A spring mechanism operably coupled to the seed flap will provide a positive force for firming the placement of the seed into the soil. A retention device, such as a clip, will be operable to hold the seed flap in an elevated, inoperable position as desired by the operator.
