Patent CA-2051243-A1 (CA)
Title: Stabilization and positioning of printed products during their conveying
Inventor: STAUBER HANS-ULRICH
IPC: B65H5/08
Filed: 1991-09-12
Abstract: The method and apparatus are used for positioning and stabilizing at a specific point of the conveying part (P) flat articles, which are e.g. conveyed in a suspended manner and which are held by conveying means, particularly not very rigid printed products, which are conveyed at such a speed that they are deflected by the air resistance from their vertical, flat position, in such a way that they e.g. can be guided in a closely defined compartment of a processing drum with their lower edge at the front. For this purpose guide elements (12) are inserted from above into the conveying flow and over an insertion path (ES) gradually bring the printed products (11) into the intended position and over a following discharge path (AS) discharge them upwards again out of the conveying flow. The described embodiment of the apparatus comprises chains, closed to form a ring and positioned laterally of the conveying flow, which pass over sprockets and on which the guide elements (12) are arranged at regular intervals.

Title: Guidewire tip construction
Inventor: SHANK PETER J
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1991-12-03
Abstract: AZB/dmc 2051b GUIDEWIRE TIP CONSTRUCTION                ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A guidewire for use in guiding a catheter has a tip construction that includes a core wire within a helical coil.  The core wire has a distal tip segment that is tapered and is further impressed with a pair of opposed flattened surfaces extending along the taper, the surfaces lying at an angle to each other and defining a progressively flattened tip having increased width in a distal direction to define a duck-bill configuration.  The tip construction provides improved column strength at the tip to resist guidewire prolapse while providing excellent torsional and flexibility characteristics.

Inventor: REEDY WAYNE R
IPC: F25B13/00
Filed: 1992-02-19
Abstract: Invention:  Integrated Heat Pump With Restricted Refrigerant Feed Inventor:   Wayne R. Reedy Abstract of the Disclosure:      An integrated heat pump and hot water system can be operated in a space heating mode, a space cooling mode, or a water heating mode, with or without space heating or cooling.          In the event that water heating is demanded without either space heating or cooling, a flow restriction arrangement in the liquid refrigerant line is actuated to limit the capacity of the  compressor,  and  thus  match  the  water  heat  exchanger capacity  as  much as  possible.   The  selective  restrictive arrangement has a valve arrangement selectively blocking the full flow of refrigerant along the condensed refrigerant line, and a restrictive bypass arrangement bridging around the valve arrangement.  This can comprise one or more capillary tubes.          A  quenching  branch  line  extends  between  the  selective restricting  arrangement and  the suction  line  that returns evaporated refrigerant to the suction port of the compressor.          This quenching branch line favorably comprises a solenoid valve and a flow restricting device connected in series.  The valve arrangement of the selective restriction arrangement can be a pair of solenoid valves connected back to back, or can be a pressure activated valve.

Abstract: MAGNETIC SKIRT PRODUCT PROTECTION ASSEMBLY FOR TRANSPORTING ON RAILROAD CARS     Abstract A magnetic skirt assembly is provided which is used as a metallic particle and grit collector on a railroad car to protect transported products.  The magnetic skirt (20) includes a supporting frame structure (21) and a magnetic material (36) operatively attached thereto.  The magnetic skirt is installed on the underside of the railroad car, preferably one skirt at each end of the railroad car adjacent to the outboard side of the wheel trucks.  The magnetic skirts of the invention attract and collect fine metallic particles and grit on their magnetic surfaces which come off the railroad bed during transit of the railroad car.  The design of the magnetic skirt particularly addresses the primary flow of air through the railroad car wheel trucks directed outboard and the airstream carrying the metallic particles flowing upward between rail cars which can potentially enter the gaps in the railroad car end doors.  Periodically, the magnetic skirts can be cleaned or rinsed off to remove the accumulated grit or particles.

Abstract: This invention provides disk drive access control apparatus for connection between a host computer (10) and a plurality of disk drives (16) to provide an asynchronously operating, high-speed, high-capacity, fault-tolerant, error-correcting storage system. It also provides increases in performance over earlier versions thereof. There are a plurality of disk drive controller channels (46) connected to respective ones of the disk drives and controlling transfers of data to and from the disk drives, each of the disk drive controller channels includes a cache/buffer memory (48) and a micro-processor unit (50). An interface and driver unit (42) interfaces with the host computer (10) and there is a central cache memory (54). Cache memory control logic controls transfers of data from the chache/ buffer memory (48) of the plurality of disk drive controller channels (46) to the cache memory (54) and from the cache memory (54) to the cache/buffer memory (48) of the plurality of disk drive controller channels (46) and from the cache memory (54) to the host computer (10) through the interface and driver unit (42). A central processing unit (60) manages the use of the cache memory by requesting data transfers only of data not presently in the cache memory (54) and by sending high level commands to the disk drive controller channels (46). A first (data) bus (64) interconnects the plurality of disk drive cache/buffer memories (48), the interface and driver unit (42), and the cache memory (54) for the transfer of information therebetween and a second (information and commands) bus (52) interconnects the same elements with the central processing unit (60) for the transfer of control and information therebetween.

Filed: 1991-07-26
Abstract: Procédé et appareil permettant de tranférer une charge utile de données (SPE) provenant d'un premier signal de réseau optique pratiquement synchrone (SONET) dans un deuxième signal de SONET ayant une frequence différente. Dans cet appareil, un circuit (34a) extrait les multiplets de la SPE du premier signal de SONET et envoie lesdits multiplets, suivant une première impulsion d'horloge, vers un système premier entré, premier sorti (FIFO) pour le stockage en mémoire; un deuxième circuit (47a) extrait les multiplets de la SPE du système FIFO suivant une deuxième impulsions d'horloge, pour incorporer la SPE dans le deuxième signal de SONET; et un troisième circuit (70) compare les phases de multiplets relatives des première et deuxième impulsions d'horloge. Pour éviter les problèmes conflictuels de lecture et d'écriture dans le système FIFO, le circuit comparateur génère un signal qu'il envoie au circuit extracteur (47a) et qui oblige ledit circuit extracteur (74a) à modifier la phase des multiplets à laquelle ces derniers sont envoyés au système FIFO. Pour ajuster la SPE aux différences de fréquence entre les premier et deuxième signaux de SONET, le circuit comparateur (70) envoie un signal au circuit qui incorpore le deuxième signal de SONET lorsque les deux signaux de SONET ont manqué un multiplet commun.

IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1993-03-16
Abstract: An optical fiber cable (20) includes a longitudinally extending core member (34) which may be made of a plastic material. The core member is formed with at least one groove (36) in which is disposed at least one optical fiber (28). The optical fiber is coupled sufficiently to the core member, preferably by an ultraviolet light energy cured material, to inhibit substantially relative movement between the core member and the optical fiber when forces are applied to the cable. A sheath system which includes wire-like strength members and a plastic jacket (112) is disposed about the core member. A waterblocking material (108) disposed within interstices among the wire-like strength members and between an inner layer of the strength members and the core member causes coupling between the wire-like strength members and the core member.
