Abstract: A flush valve for use on toilet devices such as urinals and water closets includes a body having an inlet and an outlet. There is a valve seat in the body and a valve member movable within the body toward and away from the valve seat to control water flow between the inlet and the outlet. A housing is mounted on the valve body and there is a chamber within the housing. A piston is movable axially within the chamber and into the valve body for contact with the valve member to cause actuation thereof. There is a spring within the chamber which normally biases the piston outwardly from the valve body. A controlled passage in the housing connects the valve body inlet and. the chamber to provide water under pressure to move the piston, against the spring, into the valve body to cause operation of the valve member. The improvement comprises a groove in the exterior of the piston, which groove is adjacent and faces a wall of the chamber. There is a split ring in the groove, with the split ring being outwardly biased against the chamber wall and providing controlled water flow about the piston as it moves outwardly within the chamber in response to return force from the spring.

Abstract: The confocal microscope has two matched light sources: a first light source (1) and a second light source (8). The light sources (1,8) are arranged to illuminate opposite sides of a modulating mask (6). The light either reflecting from or passing through the modulating mask (6) is then used to illuminate an object O supported on a mount (5). The microscope is arranged so that the object O is mounted on the opposite side of the mask (6) to a camera (7) such that light reflected from the object O passes through the modulating mask (6) before being captured by the camera (7). Subtraction of the image produced using the second light source (8) from the image produced using the first light source (1) generates a confocal image that contains substantially less noise than is possible with available confocal microscopy apparatus.

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-04-18
Granted: 2008-10-28
Abstract: A communication architecture for performing work in a distributed computing environment involves client processes on client nodes sending work requests to a director. The director examines the work requests to determine one or more resources required to perform the work as well as one or more server nodes that can provide the required resources. The director then forwards the work requests to server processes on the server nodes that can provide the required resources. The work requests provided to the server processes specify that the work results are to be provided directly from the server processes to the client processes that made the work requests.  The director maintains a table of resource data that specifies the services and/or resources that are provided by and/or made available on the server nodes in the distributed computing environment.

L'ensemble de support selon l'invention constitue une amélioration par rapport aux ensembles de support intérieur de douilles classiques parce qu'il remplit plusieurs fonctions. L'ensemble de support comprend deux plaques de séparation (210, 212) verticales montées dans la douille. Les extrémités de fond des plaques de séparation sont soudées au sommet de soufflets (130) de plaques d'extrémité dans la douille. Les plaques de séparation sont également fixées à des plaques latérales (106, 108) de la douille. Une partie supérieure (214) de chaque plaque de séparation sert de paroi latérale supérieure de la douille et définit une partie du col (118) de la douille dans lequel s'écoule le verre fondu. Les plaques de séparation comprennent également des parties médiane et inférieure (216, 218) comportant des perforations (220) par lesquelles le verre dans la douille peut s'écouler. Les ouvertures permettent aux plaques de séparation d'effectuer un mélange et une homogénéisation thermiques du verre dans la douille. Les plaques de séparation constituent un support supplémentaire de plaque d'extrémité des soufflets de plaque d'extrémité classiques et confèrent à la plaque de fond une résistance à long terme au glissement et à l'affaissement, notamment au point de déflexion maximale de la plaque d'extrémité.

Abstract: A gas turbine cooled blade wherein: a) sealed air is maintained to a lower temperature suppressing its heat exchange rate; and b) a cooling passage is constructed so as to enhance the average heat transfer rate in the entire cooling passage. Of the plurality of cooling passages (A, B, C, D, E) provided in the blade, the first row cooling passage (A) communicates with a second row cooling passage (B) via communication hole (6) and with the main gas flow path via film cooling hole (7). Second row cooling passage (B) communicates with blade inner peripheral cavity (10) to form a sealed air supply passage. A plurality of ribs (31) are disposed on the inner wall of cooling passage (22) with a predetermined rib-to-rib pitch (P). Each of the plurality of ribs extends from a side end of cooling passage 22 to a position beyond a central portion thereof to be disposed alternately right and left against the cooling medium flow direction. and inclining in mutually opposing directions. The respective higher end of each rib contacts the lower side face of the immediately upstream rib at its one end beyond the central portion of cooling passage 22. At least one of the ribs includes a pin (28) projecting substantially perpendicular to a rib at a predetermined position on a longitudinal axis of the rib and wherein each rib may comprise a plurality of two or more pins being arranged on the rib at a predetermined pitch between pins. High heat transfer rate areas are formed on both side portions of the cooling passage (22) thereby enhancing heat transfer rate in the cooling passage.

Abstract: A locomotive monitoring system (100) defines several mutually exclusive operating states for a locomotive. The amount of time the locomotive operates in each state is preferably determined and recorded. This recorded information can then be evaluated with a view towards improving locomotive operations. For example, a plurality of mutually exclusive idle states can be defined and monitored to determine how long a locomotive idles under certain conditions instead of automatically shutting down for the purpose of conserving fuel. In this manner, the sources of lost fuel savings can be readily identified, quantified and addressed. An event log is also provided for chronicling certain operating events of interest over time, such as those relating to the starting, stopping and/or idling of the locomotive's engine.

Abstract: An electronic air charge controller (36) for a tractor trailer vehicle air brake system includes a micro controller, a first pressure sensor (38) interface coupled to the micro controller, a second pressure sensor (40) interface coupled to the micro controller, and a vehicle control (34) protocol interface coupled to the micro controller. The micro controller, in response to a signal received from the first pressure sensor (38) interface indicative of an air supply recharge condition, a signal received from the second pressure sensor (40) indicative of parking brake engagement condition, and a signal from the vehicle control (34) protocol interface indicative of an engine start condition, supplies a maximum engine speed control signal to the vehicle control (34) protocol interface. The time required to charge the air supply system to the required normal operating level is thereby minimized. In addition, a transmission sensor (37) interface is preferably coupled to the micro controller. The micro controller does not generate the maximum engine speed control signal unless a signal supplied by the transmission sensor (3) interface indicates that an automatic transmission is in park or a manual transmission is in neutral. Still further, to improve operating efficiency, a vehicle load condition signal is supplied by the vehicle control (34) protocol interface to the micro controller. In response, the micro controller supplies a pause air compressor charging cycle signal or a pause air dryer recycle signal to the vehicle control (34) protocol interface, if either the air compressor (28) or air dryer (30) is operating when a high load condition is encountered.
