Title: Interface de freinage progressif entre un sabot et un tambour ou entre un etrier et un rotor et procede de freinage
Inventor: OZECHOWSKI RUSSELL
IPC: F16D65/04
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de freinage progressif dans lesquels un élément freiné en mouvement, par exemple, un tambour de frein (101), vient en prise avec une série de butées souples (104) disposées sur un organe de freinage, par exemple, un sabot de freinage (102), de manière à freiner l'élément freiné. Une butée rigide (108) disposée sur l'élément freiné balaye au-delà des butées souples (104) disposées sur l'organe de freinage, de manière à produire des vibrations. Celles-ci sont amorties au moment où les butées souples (104) viennent en prise avec l'élément freiné, inhibant ainsi le mouvement de l'élément freiné. Les butées souples (104) sont de longueurs inégales et sont disposées sur des ressorts (107) leur permettant de se rétracter dans l'organe de freinage. De cette façon, les butées viennent en prise de manière progressive avec l'élément freiné, de manière à obtenir un freinage plus doux et plus efficace.

Patent CA-2445727-A1 (CA)
Title: Hearing aid and a method of compensating magnetic distortion
Inventor: ANDERSON HENNING HAUGAARD
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2002-06-19
Abstract: A hearing aid has a capacitor with a large capacitance coupled in parallel with the energy source for transient current supply. The operating period of the battery is prolonged compared to prior art digital hearing aids. Further, the smaller variations in supply voltage lead to less distortion of the output signal of the hearing aid signal processor. In a hearing aid with a telecoil, a well defined current path for the current transients generating the high magnetic fields picked up by the telecoil is established.  This facilitates the design of a compensating current path capable of offsetting magnetic interference of the telecoil by the power supply loop, that is substantially independent of battery type and position.

Abstract: A tipping mechanism for a vertical axis washing machine includes an agitator, a drive member, a tipping member and a stationary pivot member. The pivot member preferably takes the form of a ball which is received in a socket defined by the tipping member. In a preferred form of the invention, the pivot member is provided with at least one guide member which is received in an arcuate channel, including both horizontal and vertical components, defined by the tipping member. In operation, the drive member causes the tipping member to rotate, while the arrangement of the guide member in the arcuate channel forces the tipping member to shift in various planes. This movement imparts a combination rotating and tipping motion to the agitator.

Title: Method of estimating floor reactions of bipedal walking body, and method of estimating joint moments of bipedal walking body
Inventor: IKEUCHI YASUSHI
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2002-06-27
Abstract: Whether the motion of leg bodies (2) is in a single leg support state or two - leg support state is decided and when it is in a single leg support state, a floor reaction (F) acting on the leg body (2) contacting the ground is estimated on the basis of the equation of motion for the center of gravity (GO) of a bipedal walking body (1). When it is in a two-leg support state, floor reactions(Fr, Ff) acting on the respective leg bodies (2) are estimate d on the basis of the equation of motion for the center of gravity (GO) of the bipedal walking body (1) and the relation between the components of floor reactions (Fr, Ff) of each leg body (2) and the position of the ankle (12) o f each leg body (2) with respect to the center of gravity (GO) of the bipedal walking body (1). Further, on the basis of an inverse dynamics model using t he estimates of the floor reactions (Fr, Ff), the moments acting on the knee joint (10) and hip joint (8) are estimated. Thereby, the floor reactions acting on the leg bodies of a bipedal walking body, such as a human being, a nd the moments acting on the joints of the leg bodies are grasped accurately in real time by a relatively simple method.

Title: Ribless bit with diamond impregnated cutter elements
Inventor: AZAR MICHAEL G
IPC: E21B10/54
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a bit with cutting structures or inserts that include diamond particles, in which the diamond-impregnated inserts are surrounded by substantially diamond-free support members. The diamond-impregnated inserts are manufactured separately from the bit body. Once formed, the diamond-impregnated inserts are affixed to the substantially diamond-free support members on bit body by brazing or other means of attachment. The total thermal exposure of the diamond particles during manufacture in accordance with the present invention is significantly lower than the total manufacturing-related thermal exposure in previously known diamond-impregnated cutting structures. Furthermore, the substantially diamond-free support members allow the bit to continue cutting through a formation without an increased contact area, as experienced by bits with diamond-impregnated ribs. Thus, the operating life of the cutting structures., and therefore the life of the bit itself, is increased.
