Abstract: A truck deck with ground level loading/unloading position includes guide tracks supported by a support frame. Guide members consisting of pivotally connected sections are telescopically received in the guide tracks. A load platform is supported by and slidably movable in relation to the support frame. A first pair of chains pull the load platform and extend the guide members. When the guide members reach a fully extended position with the majority of the weight of the load platform past the pivot axis, they pivot and thereby guide the movement of the load platform in a downwardly direction onto a ground surface. A second pair of chains lift the load platform from the ground surface and move it along guide members until the guide members pivot to a substantially horizontal position. The second pair of chains then pull the load platform and the guide members back into a retracted position.

Title: Arc fault detector with limiting of sensed signal to shape response characteristic and circuit breaker incorporating same
Inventor: MACKENZIE RAYMOND WARREN
IPC: H01H83/02
Filed: 1998-09-28
Granted: 2009-02-03
Abstract: An arc fault detector having a pulse generator generating a pulse each time an arc is struck includes a limiting amplifier which limits the amplitude of the pulses to discriminate against false trips from sizable singular events such as tungsten bulb burnout and turn-on of a cold tungsten lamp controlled by a phased back dimmer. When a time attenuated accumulation of the pulses reaches a predetermined level an arc fault signal which can be used to trip the circuit breaker is generated. The pulse generator of the arc fault detector includes multiple stages of high pass filtering which produces overshoot and therefore additional pulses each time an arc is struck. As only the additional pulses associated with large amplitude arcs exceed a threshold value for inclusion in the time attenuated accumulation, compensation for the reduction in sensitivity to large amplitude arcs imposed by the limiting amplitude is provided.

Abstract: A regulator for a nurse inductor mechanism on an agricultural seeding implement controls the rate of entrainment of seeds into the stream of air directed into the nurse inductor mechanism. The regulator includes a pivoted gate mounted at the discharge opening of the seed reservoir of the nurse induction unit to control the flow of seed particles into a pile for engagement with the stream of air directed thereto. An actuation lever, positioned externally of the nurse inductor housing so as to not interfere with the sealed relationship between the divider walls of the distribution apparatus and the housing, is selectively manipulable to move the pivoted gate between closed and opened positions. Once the pivoted gate is moved into the closed position, the flow of seed particles into the distribution apparatus is halted, but the full flow of air can still move through the distribution apparatus and seed distribution tubes to effect a clean-out of the nurse induction unit.

Abstract: The invention provides a watch dog timer system which has an abnormality checking function of a high degree of reliability. In the watch dog timer system, abnormality of a computer system is detected as a variation of a value allocated in accordance with an execution condition of a program. To this end, a register receives execution state data defined in accordance with an execution condition of the program from a processor or CPU of the computer system and stores the execution state data before a counter of the watch dog timer system overflows. A comparator compares the execution condition data stored in the register and state sequence data indicative of a state sequence of the program stored in a ROM in advance with each other and generates a reset signal for resetting the computer system when the comparison reveals incoincidence.

Granted: 2007-11-27
Abstract: A suit having a lining and a slipover, and an active part arranged between the same. The active part is at least partially constructed of a lay er which faces the body and of a layer which faces away from the body. Both layers ar e made of a liquid-tight, slightly stretchable textile material and are connected t o one another at connection points by gluing, heat sealing or by sewing to form cavities. The cavities are filled with a liquid through valves. Connecting parts which transfer tensile stress are provided in areas between the cavities. This builds up a compensating pressure which is proportional to the acceleration acting in th e momentary and local direction, on the body parts under the suit and thus relieves a pilot's body from the effects of such accelerations. The suit is closed by z ip fasteners, and is fitted to the body of the wearer by means of hook-and-loop fasteners and is tightened by using zip fasteners or a fluidic tightening device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un comprimé à mâcher soluble, enrobé, renfermant de la gomme, contenant des constituants à mâcher, des constituants de type sirop et des constituants de type graisse ou cire, ainsi qu'éventuellement des charges. Ce comprimé peut être produit selon un procédé consistant à mélanger des constituants à mâcher en poudre avec des constituants de type graisse ou cire fondus. Ledit procédé consiste ensuite à ajouter au mélange au moins un constituant de type sirop pour former une matière grumeleuse qui est ensuite refroidie à une température inférieure à 0  DEG C avant d'être broyée jusqu'à obtention d'une grosseur maximale de particules de 5 mm. Après le refroidissement, cette matière est transformée, à une température inférieure à 10  DEG C, en comprimés qui sont ensuite enrobés de façon connue en soi. Le produit fini présente, en raison de la transformation en comprimés des particules granulées refroidies, une structure partiellement granulée dans laquelle l'humidité a été tout d'abord immobilisée par la basse température. Après la transformation en comprimés, cette humidité est rendue mobile par réchauffement (notamment pendant l'opération d'enrobage) et migre ou se diffuse tout d'abord superficiellement dans les constituants présents, solubles dans l'eau. Ceux-ci sont partiellement dissous et donnent une matière à mâcher thixotrope, présentant une viscosité élevée.
