Title: A system and a method for an automatic parking meter
Inventor: BAKAL AVRAHAM
IPC: G07B15/02
Filed: 2007-11-07
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: The present invention is a new and innovative device for regulating parking permits in parking zones in which parking is permitted for short time spans. Embodiments of the present invention enable users to purchase reusable electronic parking devices which display the amount of time remaining for free parking. For instance, in parking zones which allow fifteen minutes of free parking, the device displays 15min when turned on and counts back the minutes until the time is over. A delaying mechanism inhibits the reactivation of the device for a predetermined time period. Thus, the device ensures that the parking permit is only used for the predetermined time period once since users cannot activate the device sequentially. According to embodiments of the present invention the proposed system and method may be embedded into other time parking devices.

Abstract: Un procédé et à un appareil de coulage d'un lingot métallique composite comportant au moins deux couches formées séparément d'un ou de plusieurs alliages. Une lingotière à bouts ouverts présente une extrémité d'alimentation et une extrémité de sortie ainsi qu'une paroi de séparation conçue pour diviser l'extrémité d'alimentation en au moins deux chambres d'alimentation séparées, chacune des chambres d'alimentation étant adjacente à au moins une autre chambre d'alimentation. Pour chaque paire de chambres d'alimentation adjacentes, un premier flux d'alliage est amené par l'intermédiaire de l'une des deux chambres d'alimentation jusque dans la lingotière et un second flux d'alliage est amené par l'intermédiaire d'une autre chambre d'alimentation. Une surface autoportante est générée à la surface du premier flux d'alliage et le second flux d'alliage est mis en contact avec le premier flux de sorte que la surface supérieure du second flux d'alliage soit maintenue en une position telle qu'il entre tout d'abord en contact avec la surface autoportante lorsque la température de la surface autoportante est comprise entre la température liquidus et la température solidus du premier alliage ou de sorte qu'elle entre tout d'abord en contact avec la surface autoportante lorsque la température de ladite surface autoportante est inférieure à la température solidus du premier alliage, l'interface entre les deux alliages étant alors réchauffée jusqu'à une température comprise entre la température liquidus et la température solidus, ce qui permet de rassembler en deux couches les deux flux d'alliage. Les couches d'alliage assemblées sont alors refroidies pour former un lingot composite. Ce lingot composite présente une liaison métallurgique sensiblement continue entre les couches d'alliage avec des particules dispersées d'une ou de plusieurs compositions intermétalliques du premier alliage dans une région du second alliage adjacente à l'interface.

Abstract: A motor drive for an electric motor of a variable fluid circulating system includes a processing module and a power module. The processing module receives a signal profile and generates a control signal based on the signal profile. A power module generates a carrier signal based on the control signal and a direct current (DC) voltage. The power module pulse width modulates the carrier signal to generate a drive signal in the electric motor that matches the signal profile. The power module powers the electric motor based on the drive signal to adjust injection of a fluid into a reservoir.

Abstract: A valve rod guide is adapted to be coupled to the barrel of a subsurface pump or the like. The guide has head, neck, body, and base regions. A plurality of angled flutes are provided on the body, tapering downwardly for preventing solids from reentering the pump barrel after pump operations are ceased and thereby damaging pump components once pump operations are resumed. The interior diameter of the neck includes lower and upper grooves and a plurality of spiral radial grooves extending therebetween. The spiral radial grooves terminate at exit ports. During pump operations, solids are wiped from the valve rod, drawn into the spiral radial grooves, and accumulate in the lower or upper groove during downstroke or upstroke, respectively. During upstroke, the solids are expelled through the exit ports. A hardened insert may be positioned in the head region, providing a durable wear area for the valve rod as well as a tight fit, thereby preventing solids from escaping through a northern end of the guide.

Abstract: A low-emissions 2-stroke natural-gas-fueled engine includes at least one cylinder with an exhaust port in communication with a silencer/catalytic converter unit. The unit has first and second volumes in communication with each other. The first volume dampens spurious exhaust pressure excursions and removes particulates in the exhaust. The second volume houses an oxidation catalyst for treating exhaust to reduce exhaust emissions. The engine oil has at most 10 ppm zinc content to reduce metal poisons contained in the exhaust prior to contact with the oxidation catalyst. The engine oil preferably has a very low ash content to minimize sulfur combustion components in the exhaust to reduce masking of the oxidation catalyst. The first volume preferably has a pressure relief valve set to relieve at a pressure greater than the maximum normal operating pressure of the engine to avoid excessive pressure excursions of the engine exhaust from damaging the oxidation catalyst.
