Title: Porte couvrant le compartiment de rangement d'un air-bag pour le rendre invisible
Inventor: GARDNER JOHN A
IPC: B60R21/2165

Abstract: Dans la présente invention, le volant de direction (12) du véhicule comporte un panneau décoratif (34) qui dissimule le compartiment de rangement (28) de l'air-bag gonflable (30). Le panneau (34) présente un revêtement (38) avec plaque dorsale (36) dans laquelle est découpée une ligne en forme de U (56) encadrant le compartement de rangement (28) et définissant une porte couvrante (50), laquelle comporte une ligne charnière (60) qui relie les extrémités du U de la ligne découpée (56). Une couche intérieure de mousse (40) est placée dans l'espace compris entre la plaque dorsale (36) et la couche de revêtement externe (38), laquelle présente une rainure périphérique (42, 44, 46, 68) délimintant la porte (50), ainsi qu'une section charnière (42) recouvrant la ligne charnière (60) et une ligne de jointure affaiblie déchirable, qui recouvre la ligne découpée. La rainure est découpée transversalement dans la partie inférieure le long de la ligne de jointure déchirable (44, 46, 48), mais de façon à ne pas longer la section charnière (42). En se gonflant, l'air-bag (30) exerce sur la porte (50) une force dirigée vers l'extérieur, ce qui entraîne la rupture de la couche de mousse (40) le long de la ligne de jointure déchirable, faisant basculer la porte (50) hors de l'ouverture par mouvement pivotant autour de la section charnière (42), permettant ainsi le déploiement de l'air-bag (30) vers l'extérieur du panneau (34).

Abstract: A railway vehicle has a passenger carrying body (10) mounted on a bogie comprising a frame (12) and wheelsets (14). To accommodate lateral movement of the body (10) relative to the bogie frame (12), subsequent to the movement accommodated by conventional shear rubber mounts (16), a bump stop arrangement is provided towards each end of the vehicle. Each arrangement is mounted on a body part and has a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies providing rubber abutments (18) towards respective sides of the body part for engagement with the bogie frame (12). The spaces in each cylinder (24) on respective sides of the piston (22) communicate with respective fluid accumulators (28, 30), a valve controller (32) monitoring lateral movement of the vehicle body (10), and controlling movement of fluid supply between the cylinders and the accumulators. Movement of a respective abutment (18) into contact with the bogie frame (12) only when necessary, and subsequent continuous adjustment of the resistance provided by the abutment (18), prevents significant increase in the dynamic stiffness of the bump stop arrangement and mitigates unwelcome impact between the body (10) and the bogie frame (12), resulting in a relatively smoother ride for passengers.

Abstract: A nasal dilator 10 that prevents the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of the nasal passages 54, 56 of the nose 12 from drawing in during breathing comprises a truss member 16. The truss member 16 includes flexible strip of material 18 having a first end region 20, a second end region 22 and an intermediate segment 24. The first and second end regions 20, 22 are adapted to engage the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of first and second nasal passages 54, 56 of the nose 12. The truss member 16 further includes resilient bands 30a, 30b secured to the strip of material 18. The resiliency of the bands 30a, 30b acts to stabilise the outer wall tissue 60, 62 and thereby prevents the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of the nasal passages 54, 56 from drawing in during breathing. The first and second end regions 20, 22 are secured to the outer wall tissue 60, 62 by an adhesive layer whose effect is less at the intermediate segment 24.

Abstract: A draught and weather excluder comprising a gap sealing section which enables simple, fast and effective closure of gaps below doors. The gap sealing section is particularly suited to sealing gaps below hinged and sliding doors. The sealing section is securable to the underside of a door without removal of the door and with the use of less strong but convenient fixing materials such as bonding tapes. The sealing section has two main webs (2, 3) which are connected together along the length of the section where also a hinged or weakened section (4) is provided so that the two webs (2, 3) are able to rotate so that the section being generally of a wedge shape may open and close so that a range of gaps may be sealed. The sealing section consists of a mounting web (1) enabling attachment of the sealing section to the underside surface of a door edge and a sealing web (2) to make contact with the floor surface (9).

Abstract: The present invention overcomes the limitations encountered by conventional packet switching using virtual circuits. The present invention utilizes a "datagram" approach that routes every packet (22) conveyed by the system independently at every node in the network. The packets (22) are directed along an optimized pathway through the network by a fast packet switch (38) that directs traffic based on instructions from an adaptive routing processor (12A) that continuously runs an adaptive routing software (12B). This adaptive routing processor (14) supplies an output (12C) to a routing cache memory (20) which stores fast packet switch routing port output tags (30). An input packet processor (28) extracts a supercell address from the header (24) of each packet (22) and uses the supercell address (21A) as an index to retrieve a fast packet switch output port tag (30) stored in the routing cache memory (20). This tag (30) is prepended to the packet (22), and sent to an input port (36) of the fast packet switch (38), which includes a number of multi-stage self-routing switch modules (132) and a number of asynchronous packet multiplexors (134). The modules (132) and multiplexors (134) route the tagged packet (34) to an output port (40) which is connected either to a scanning beam antenna (SBA) or an intersatellite link antenna (ISA).
