Patent CA-2338026-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIMONO MUCHIJI
IPC: A44B19/54
Filed: 2001-02-26
Abstract: In a woven slide fastener stringer, a continuous coupling element row is woven successively along a side edge of a fastener tape with a plurality of fixing warp yarns arranged in parallel at the same time when the tape is woven. The fastener stringer is woven with a weaving structure that a tightening force to coupling element portions by at least two of the plurality of the element fixing warp yarns arranged in parallel, which are disposed on a side of coupling heads of the coupling element portions, is smaller than a tightening force to those by at least one of the element fixing warp yarns disposed on a side of connecting portions of the coupling element portions. As a result, the coupling element portions are woven firmly at the side of the connecting portion while gaps between the respective coupling heads can be expanded and reduced slightly. Therefore, the slide fastener stringer can ensure a firm fixing of the coupling element rows and facilitate coupling with the mating coupling element rows. Further, it can stabilize a pitch between the coupling element portions and secure a high density of warp yarns composing each warp yarn pocket.

IPC: B62D53/12
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: A vehicle coupling device comprises a coupling plate (12) provided with a sl ot (24) for reception of a waisted portion (25) of a king-pin (28) of a trailer , a pivotally mounted coupler jaw (30) for holding the king-pin (28) in the sl ot (24) and a locking bar (46) for locking the coupler jaw (30) in its closed position. The locking bar (46) is pivotally mounted at the opposite side of the slot (24) to the mounting of the coupler jaw. This decreases the load required to manually set the locking mechanism in its cocked position (ready  for engagement of a king-pin (28) by a coupler jaw (30)). The coupler jaw comprises a sensor arm (34) extending in a different (lower) plane to a hook  (32). The arm (34), in use, is contacted by a lower flange (29) of a correct ly aligned king-pin (28), and causes the jaw (30) to pivot so that the hook (32 ) engages the waist of the king-pin. By this dual alignment of hook and arm, there is achieved a failsafe means of preventing a king-pin (28), which ente rs the slot (24) at the wrong height, form causing actuation of the jaw and the  lock bar (46).

Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: In a computer system, the number of memory cycles for reading data is reduce d. Read requests for data from a memory location are received at a data storage  controller. A determination is made as to whether a read request is dependen t on a pending write request that modifies the memory location. If so, a memor y cycle is executed that initiates a read cycle for reading the data at the memory location, modifies the read data according to the pending write request, and initiates a write cycle that writes the modified data into the memory location. Then, the dependent read request is serviced, without initiating another read cycle, by returning the modified data to the memory controller prior to initiating the write cycle.

Title: Cold rolled steel
Inventor: STREZOV LAZAR
IPC: C21D9/46
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: Method of producing strip comprising continuously casting plain carbon steel  into a strip of no more than 5 mm thickness and coiling the strip. The strip  is subsequently uncoiled and cold rolled then annealed to produce a stress relieved microstructure therein. The cold rolling produces a cold reduction sufficient to increase the tensile strength off the strip to at least 680 MP a but is such that the total elongation to break off the strip after the annealing is in the range 8 % to 12 %. The cold rolling may produce a cold reduction of the strip thickness in the range 40 % to 80 %. The continuously  cast strip may be optionally in-line hot rolled prior to coiling to produce an initial strip thickness reduction in the range 40 % to 60 %.

Title: Machine with cup-shaped armature and air gap
Inventor: DUNN STANLEY E
IPC: H02K3/26
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: An electro-mechanical machine having a field producing assembly (34, 34', 34 a, 34b) providing a cup-shaped air gap (133) which is circumferentially dispose d about an axis of rotation. The field assembly (34, 34', 34a, 34b) produces a  circumferential distribution of magnetic flux in the cup-shaped air gap (133 ) having n periodic extremes of flux density (34, 34', 34a, 34b) about the axi s. A cup-shaped electrical assembly (128) or armature is disposed in the air ga p (133) and the armature (128) and field assembly (34, 34', 34a, 34b) are relatively rotatable. The armature (128) has a circular array of C non- overlapping coils (131) on each of its inner and outer faces with the coils (131) on one face being angularly offset from the coils (131) on the other face. Moreover, since the air gap (133) and coils (131) are cup-shaped, it i s possible to achieve, for a machine of given diameter and form factor, a horsepower and torque which was previously possible only with substantially larger disk-type motors. That is because the total volume of the air gap (13 3) and coils (131) correspond to those of a much larger diameter disk-type moto r.

Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the height of a chair back relative to the seat includes an arm that extends upwardly from the rear of the seat, and a carriage that is carried by the back and slidably mounted on the arm.      A pinion inside the carriage engages a rack on the arm so that the pinion travels along the rack when the chair back is moved up and down on the arm. A pawl engages the pinion when the chair back is moved upwardly so as to allow incremental adjustment in the height of the back in the upward direction, while preventing downward movement of the back. When the back reaches the upper limit of its travel, an actuator spring is displaced downwardly, disengaging the pawl so that the back is free to slide on the arm. At the bottom of the limit of travel, the spring is displaced upwardly, re-engaging the pawl.
