Title: Electric motor no-load speed reduction for power saving
Inventor: LIPTAK CSABA
IPC: B24B23/00
Filed: 2011-01-18
Abstract: In a cordless hand tool 100 having a drive motor 180 for driving a tool 120, the drive motor 180 is configured to drive the tool 120 at a preset operating speed in the load mode and in the no-load mode and a control unit 170 is provided, configured to reduce the preset operating speed in the no-load mode to a preset at-rest speed. The motor speed is increased to the operating speed from the at-rest speed if the tool 100 changes from the no-load mode to the load mode, e.g. as a portable sanding machine is applied to a workpiece. There may be a preset delay after the tool 100 enters the no-load state before the motor speed is reduced to the at-rest speed, the delay may be between 0.5 and 2.5 seconds. The motor current may be monitored to establish whether the tool 100 is operating in the no-load mode or the load mode. The at-rest speed may be less than 20% to 40% of the operating speed. The operating speed may be a working speed in the load mode or an idling speed in the no-load mode, the idling speed being higher than the at-rest speed. Reducing the no-load motor speed saves power and avoids rapidly discharging a battery pack 190.

Title: Improved pressure-energised probe seal for female hydraulic coupling member
Inventor: SMITH ROBERT E III
IPC: F16L17/035
Filed: 2011-10-25
Abstract: A probe seal 30 for a female hydraulic coupling member has both internal and external pressure-energized seals. The outer wall or opposing ends 33,33' of the seal have one or more pressure-energized seals for sealing between the body of the probe seal and the body of a coupling member 10 in which the probe seal is installed. In certain embodiments, the generally ring-shaped probe seal has an annular fluid chamber 36,36' in one or both end walls of the body of the seal. Hydraulic fluid under pressure may enter the annular fluid chamber and exert a generally radial force in response to a pressure differential. This radial force can act to increase the sealing effectiveness of the probe seal to the body of the female coupling member having such a probe seal. In "negative pressure" situations (i.e., when the ambient pressure exceeds the internal fluid pressure), seawater may enter an annular fluid chamber on the opposing end of the probe seal and similarly act to increase the sealing effectiveness of the probe seal to the body of the female coupling member. Annular, L-shaped, T-shaped or angled grooves 38 in the inner wall of the seal form cavities and sealing projections that can be urged in an inward, radial direction by fluid pressure within an associated cavity to increase the sealing effectiveness between the body of the seal and the probe of a male hydraulic coupling member inserted in the receiving chamber of the female coupling member.

Title: Controllably installed multilateral completions assembly
Inventor: ASSAL ANWAR AHMED MAHER
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2011-08-01
Abstract: A multilateral completions assembly having selectively isolated lateral legs during hardware installation. The assembly includes a variety of isolation sleeves disposed interior of the main bore casing and adjacent corresponding pre-located windows through the casing. Thus, lateral legs may be sequentially created through the formation at each window in a manner that allows for follow-on isolation. As a result, fluid losses from newly formed legs may be avoided during completions operations. That is, as each leg is formed it may also be isolated in advance of forming of the next leg thereby enhancing the efficiency of completions operations as well as follow-on production.

Title: Using Multiple Colour Images to Determine Lens Focus Position for Digital Camera Autofocus
Inventor: FAINSTAIN EVGENE
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2013-02-27
Abstract: Multiple colour images of a same single image detected on a photo sensor plane are generated to determine a lens adjustment position for a defined region of interest in the image. The lens adjustment position automatically focuses at least the defined region of interest in the image. In one embodiment, a multiple colour aperture filter and two single element lenses (one being the inverse of the other) are used to generate multiple colour images (406, 407 and 410, 414) when an object within the single image is out of focus. In another embodiment, a metal dielectric interference filter is mounted directly in front of the photo sensor, to generate the multiple colour images. Disparity distances (408) and directional relationships between two of the multiple colour images are used to determine the lens adjustment position. When in focus, the multiple colour images of an object align (404).

Title: Operation rescheduling support system
Inventor: KUREMATSU SAORI
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 2012-05-18
Abstract: This operation rescheduling support system solves the problem of it being difficult for a dispatcher to judge which of a plurality of indicated sites pertaining to a delay event causing train delay is to be handled first because of the dispatcher being unable to see the correlation between the indicated sites or indication marks. In the operation rescheduling support system, an indication pattern detection unit detects indicated sites where delay problems are occurring at predicted times calculated by a predicted time calculation unit, and an indication link generation unit generates indication link information by detecting a correlation between the indicated sites. When the dispatcher places a mouse cursor on an indication mark displayed on an output apparatus, a reception unit detects the positional relationship between the mouse cursor and the indicated site, and an indication display unit displays the order of handling for the indicated site to which the indication mark is allotted, on the basis of the indication link information.
