Title: Arrangement for weighing a load on a vehicle
Inventor: BELTON ANDREW
IPC: G01G19/08
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: An arrangement for weighing a load on a vehicle comprises a sensor (10) attached to the vehicle between a suspended part of the vehicle (15, Fig.4, not shown) and an unsuspended part of the vehicle (11, Fig.3). A signal from the sensor (10) is applied to a subtractor (12) which is also supplied with a value corresponding to the unloaded (tare) weight of the vehicle. Thus, the output of subtractor (12) corresponds to the actual load placed on a vehicle and this is supplied to a multiplier (16). The multiplier operates to multiply this value with a scaling factor from a memory (18) which converts the sensor output to the required units for display such as kilograms. The output of multiplier (16) is displayed on a display unit (20). A plurality of sensors, one for each axle, may be used to obtain data relating to differences in axle loading.

Title: Methods and apparatus for characterizing a surface
Inventor: SCHIFF TOD F
IPC: G01B11/30
Filed: 1996-11-22
Abstract: A system (10) and method for characterizing a surface are disclosed. The system (10) includes a light source (14) and source optics (18) which direct a beam of light (16) toward the surface (12). A first optical integrating device (30) is positioned and configured to receive a first portion of the scattered light (24) which corresponds to a first range of spatial frequencies. A second optical integrating device (40) is positioned and configured to receive a second portion of the scattered light corresponding to a second range of spatial frequencies.

Title: Sliding door system
Inventor: FISCHBACH STEFAN
IPC: E05F15/14
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding door system with at least one sliding door wings, preferably an automatic sliding door, with a running mechanism and drive and control means. Said drive and control means (2a, 2c, 2f, 2g, 28) are arranged in a receiving space (55) which is attached to the front of the running mechanism (1), the receiving space (55) and running mechanism (1) forming a substantially square, composite body. The lower edge of said body extends up to or engages over the upper edge of the wing, its overall vertical height is determined by the cross-section of the drive motor (2a) and/or by the overall vertical height of the running mechanism (1), and its overall horizontal width is at least twice as large as the overall vertical height. In a preferred embodiment, the running mechanism (1) takes the form of a box-shaped running mechanism section (63) with two vertical legs (63a 63b) and a preferably square cross section. The one vertical leg (63a) is suspended by a suspension device (33) in a carrier member or carrier module (3) secured to the building, and connected to said carrier member by a clamping device (34). The second, front, vertical leg (63b) has a longitudinal groove (350) extending horizontally of a C or T-shaped form. The drive and control means (2a, 2c, 2f, 2g, 28) are held to be positioned in the groove in a variable manner either individually or in assemblies and are fastened by clamping pads (351) with clamping screws (352). Thus one obtains a sliding door system which has a particularly compact structure and a low overall height.

Title: :Manually operated pump
Inventor: PECK JULIAN CLAUDE
IPC: F04B33/00
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: The pump is operated by a pull-cord 3 wound around a main shaft 12 which drives a reciprocating piston in cylinder 19 via a crank. Tension is maintained in the tailing end 3a of the cord by a pulley 9 on a slave shaft (7 Fig. 3) biased to tension the chord by a spring 10. When the handle is pulled, there is grip between the cord and the shaft which is then driven. Upon release, the cord slips around the shaft and is pulled back by the tension on the tailing end. The main shaft need not rely on friction and may have circular or polygonal cross section, a rotary cleat (Figs 4a-f) or a second shaft (Fig. 5). Pump types include cam driven reciprocating, roots, scroll, gear and 'rotary tooth'. Cord tension may alternatively be maintained by hand or weights.

Title: Initializing motor vehicle anti-theft system
Inventor: FEST DIETER
IPC: B60R25/04
Filed: 1999-02-09
Abstract: Upon the initialization of an anti-theft system, after receiving a starting signal a request signal is transmitted by a central control device - by way of a data line. Those control devices which are connected to the data line transmit an identifier back, which is stored in the central control device. In this way, the extent of the control devices linked into the anti-theft system is fixed. In later authentication procedures all of these control devices must respond with their identifier before the vehicle can be used. Advantageously, an electronically coded dongle is used as one control device.

Title: Matrix board fluid flow measuring device
Inventor: CHURCHES DAVID KENNETH
IPC: G01F1/42
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: The matrix board fluid flow measuring Device is used for the study, measurement, and detection of, one-phase fluid flows [e.g., Newtonian fluids], two-phase fluid flows including particulates in disperse suspension within a fluid medium [e.g., Smoke Plumes], and poly-phase fluid flows [e.g., Non-Newtonian fluids]. The matrix board G (Figs 2-4) is constructed from a sheet or flat plate of rigid or semi-rigid material perforated with a regular or non-regular array of apertures usually with a capillary diameter, or where the apertures are at a diameter < 0.25 of the fluid flow diameter. The matrix board fluid flow measuring device is mounted directly in a fluid flow H, and can be oriented perpendicular or at any angle between perpendicular and parallel to the direction of the fluid flow. It can be used in conjunction with an incident time varying electromagnetic wave or soundwave to improve the detection efficiency of the device. The device can be configured as an ultrasound double matrix board system, which has a tuned sensitivity to suit particular fluid densities and to suit the particular mean diameter of particulates suspended in a fluid medium. The tuned sensitivity can be set to a narrow selective bandwidth for a particular fluid type, or alternately set up with a wider bandwidth to include fluids from a wider range of types.
