Title: Door assembly for commercial vehicle
Inventor: PENFOLD TERRY
IPC: E05D15/46
Filed: 1992-11-30
Abstract: A door assembly for an opening (16) in a commercial heavy vehicle (10) having a base includes a door (18) and two linkage assemblies connecting the door to a frame of the vehicle adjacent the opening. Each linkage assembly comprises a pair of rods (24, 26) - an upper cranked rod (24), and a lower rod (26) which is twice as long as the upper rod. Each rod is mounted to a part of the vehicle adjacent to the opening on vehicle mounted pivots (24a, 26a) and to the door on door mounted pivots (24b, 26b), in such a manner that when the door is closed the vehicle mounted pivot (24a, 26a) of each rod is disposed above the door mounted pivot (24b, 26b) of the same rod. When the door is opened the rods rotate about the vehicle mounted pivots (24a, 26a) and the door moves upwards away from the base and when fully open lies in a generally horizontal attitude. <IMAGE>

Title: Fishing bite indicator
Inventor: MCEVOY MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: A01K97/12
Filed: 1994-12-17
Abstract: A bite indicator for fishing comprises a swing arm (5) pivotally mounted via a pillar (6) on a base member (2) whereby a front end (7) of the arm can swing through an arc over an indicator surface (4) on the base member, guide means (10) on the rear end (9) of the arm for guiding a hooked-over fishing line (11), (Fig. 3) and means (13) for adjusting weight distribution between the front and rear ends of the arm to adjust the initial set-up of the arm according to prevailing fishing conditions. Such an indicator provides an effective and clear indication when a fish bites which is simple to set-up. Preferably, the front end of the arm is significantly longer than the length between the pivot point and the guide means (10), the ratio of these lengths producing a magnified arcuate movement of the tip of the arm (5) which can amount up to 10 times the movement of the line produced by an actual bite. The base member (2) preferably comprises a semi-circular disc having a shaped, rod rest groove (15, 16) and a spigot (18) for attachment to a bank stick (19) for supporting the rod. <IMAGE>

Title: Measuring the velocity of acoustic waves as a function of azimuth
Inventor: WINKLER KENNETH W
IPC: G01V1/52
Filed: 1995-03-27
Abstract: Borehole tools are provided with at least one transmitter 120a which generates acoustic waves at a plurality of azimuthal locations about the borehole, and at least one receiver 125a, 127a which receives and measures the velocity of the acoustic waves at related azimuthal locations. The direction of minimum velocity around the borehole is considered the direction of maximum uniaxial stress in the formation. From the velocity as a function of azimuth information, determinations of formation properties, and logs of the same can be made. The azimuthal direction of minimum velocity around the borehole predicts the propagation direction of artificially induced hydrofractures. The velocity variation around the borehole at a particular depth of the borehole is taken as an indication of susceptibility to failure, with higher velocity variations indicative of a more poorly consolidated formation or a formation with a large uniaxial stress. Other parameters of the formation are obtained by fitting a best fit curve to the azimuth versus velocity data, where adjustable parameters of the best fit curve constitute the formation parameters. <IMAGE>
