Inventor: HOLLIS THOMAS J
IPC: F01M5/00
Filed: 1996-02-02
Abstract: A temperature control system in a liquid cooled internal combustion engine equipped with a radiator controls the state of a flow control valve for controlling flow of a temperature control fluid through a passageway in the engine. Sensors detect an engine condition temperature, such as engine oil temperature. The sensors preferably also detect the temperature of the temperature control fluid and the temperature of the ambient air. An engine computer receives signals from the sensors and compares the signals to one or more predetermined values. In one embodiment, the engine computer compares the engine oil temperature signal to a predetermined value to control actuation of the valve. In another embodiment, the engine computer adjusts a predetermined temperature control fluid temperature value based on the comparison of the engine oil temperature signal to the predetermined engine oil temperature value. The engine computer then compares the temperature control fluid temperature, signal to the adjusted temperature control fluid temperature. The engine computer actuates the flow control valve based on the comparison of the temperature control fluid temperature signal to the adjusted temperature control fluid temperature. The predetermined engine oil temperature value and predetermined temperature control fluid temperature value preferably vary with ambient air temperature.

Inventor: BREDE A DOUGLAS
IPC: A01H5/12
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: Beneficial endophytes which live within certain plants are known to provide desirable, cost-effective biological insect control. Many naturally occurring grasses host symbiotic endophytic fungi. However, beneficial endophytes seldom appear in several species of turf grass, including species of bentgrasses and Kentucky bluegrasses, two commercially important turf grasses which are used extensively on golf courses and for lawn turfs.

Patent CA-2234353-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAMP DAVID C
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1998-04-08
Abstract: An ink containment and dispensing device for an ink-jet printer is provided with a main reservoir in the form of a flexible pouch, which is typically maintained at ambient pressure.  The main reservoir is coupled to a variable volume chamber via a one-way valve which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the reservoir.  The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet, which is normally closed to prevent the flow of outward ink.  However, when the ink supply is installed in a printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection between the chamber and the printer.  The chamber is part of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer. The pump has a linearly acting pumping member and a flexible diaphragm that overlies the pumping member, the diaphragm being impervious to the transmission of oxygen and moisture therethrough to prevent degradation of the ink within the chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for controlling the transmission of rotational forces between first (14) and second (66) members through an axially shiftable friction element (56) that rotates in unison with the first member (14) and can be selectively brought into engagement with the second member (66) is provided with a forced air cooling system that functions to cool the interface between the friction element (56) and the second member (66), as well as a first bearing (54) allowing relative rotation between the friction element (56) and an actuation member (38).  A flow of cooling air is developed during operation of the apparatus by fins (172,174) formed about an outer radial surface portion of the friction element (56) and the air is caused to flow through enlarged lobe cut-out sections (156) in the second member (66), along the interface and through holes (164) formed in the friction element (56) which are arranged opposite the first bearing (54).  The apparatus also incorporates a power transfer assembly that is extends directly adjacent an additional rotatable support bearing (30,80) that is mounted directly adjacent an end portion (16,18) on the first member (14).  The power transfer assembly includes a coupling unit (102,137) which interconnects a power transfer member (88,126) to, the end portion (16,18) of the first member (14) by developing a radial clamping force therebetween, while also functioning to axially retain the additional bearing (30,80) without inducing axially stresses on the additional bearing (30,80) during operation of the apparatus (10).

Title: System and method for providing shopping aids and incentives to customers through a computer network
Inventor: ROCHON DAVID A
IPC: G06Q20/12
Filed: 1996-12-23
Abstract: A system and method for delivering purchasing incentives and a variety of other retail shopping aids through a computer network, such as by E-mail over the Interne or the World Wide Web. Customers (10) of retail stores can establish a bi-directional communication link with the system, log in (16) to the system, and then elect to browse among available purchasing incentive offers (18, 22), or elect to explore other shopping aids, such as a shopping list generator (26), a recipe center (30), or simply elect to claim a product rebate or to receive product information. The system merges customer-supplied information (270) with other purchase incentive data (272) and creates a printable graphical image of the purchasing incentive (282) for transmission to the customer. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the purchase incentive is not transmitted directly to the customer. Instead, the terms of the incentive are transmitted electronically to the retail store (310) designated by the customer, who receives either a token (316) to present at the store or an advisory message. In yet another embodiment of the invention, incentives may be targeted to specific consumers based on a consumer purchase history (502), and transmitted to consumers' computers (510) using electronic mail addresses stored in a consumer database (506), or using a "personal page" in the computer network, established for each consenting consumer.
