Title: Doppler determination of velocity of remote objects
Inventor: ROBINSON GEOFFREY
IPC: G01S13/58
Filed: 2005-02-11
Abstract: Means by which the Doppler shifted frequency of electromagnetic radiation more accurately reflects correct velocity from a cycle count over a period of the observer's time than that conventionally used, considerably increasing the accuracy of velocity measurement. In determining the velocity of remote objects it has been found that accuracy can be improved by compensating for previously unknown factors. There is a relativistic velocity effect from signal time delay and a misinterpretation of data when the otherwise very precise electromagnetic signal Doppler cycle count method is used, one example being the reported anomalous acceleration of spaceship Pioneer 10. Relationships for electromagnetic radiation characteristics within, or between, relatively moving frames of reference can be simplified, further improving accuracy of velocity and position monitoring and prediction. The improved accuracy is particularly beneficial when object velocity is high and/or where extreme precision is required. Applications include; Remote objects in space; Communications via satellites; Location using Global Positioning Satellites (GPS); Prediction of position, monitoring and control of objects independent of GPS.

Title: Method of detecting vehicle speed sensor failure
Inventor: HAWKINS JEFFREY SCOTT
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 2006-05-03
Abstract: A method of detecting vehicle speed sensor failures is disclosed. The method is intended to prevent or discourage tampering with a vehicle's speed limiting system. The method includes the steps of determining whether the transmission is in neutral or whether the transmission is in its converter mode to prevent false indications of speed sensor failure under certain circumstances. The method also includes determining whether the vehicle speed is below a maximum threshold speed and whether the engine speed is above a minimum threshold speed. The method may also include determining whether the fueling rate is above a minimum threshold value. The status of each determining step may be verified twice before logging a fault code. It may be verified that the conditions determined in each step of the method are present for a minimum threshold period of time. A warning indicator may be enabled or the maximum engine speed limited when a fault code is logged.

Title: Extension bracket for fence posts
Inventor: RIMINGTON DOUGLAS
IPC: E04H17/14
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: An extension bracket for fence posts, comes in the form of a U-shaped member A which can be slid into the mortice holes of fence posts C, so as to extend the area of support provided to fence cross or arris rails B. This may be of particular help when replacing wooden cross rails between existing concrete fence posts which are already fixed in position in the ground. With the concrete fence post already in position, the ends of the cross rails may need to be shortened in order to move them into engagement with the mortices. The extension bracket will accommodate the shortened ends, and still provide structural rigidity to the overall fence structure.

Title: Apparatus and method for preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide
Inventor: WHEAT SPENCER W
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 2005-09-26
Abstract: An apparatus and method for the preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide in a hydrogen-rich fluid. The apparatus utilizes one or more reactors that are dimensioned to optimize the exothermic oxidation reaction and the transfer of heat to and from the catalyst bed. A reactor of the apparatus has an elongated cylindrical catalyst bed and heat transfer means adjacent the catalyst bed. The heat transfer means is suitable for pre-heating the catalyst bed during start-up operations and for removing the heat from the catalyst bed during the oxidation reaction. One or more reactors of different dimensions may be utilized depending upon the pressure of the hydrogen-rich fluid to be directed into the apparatus and the pressure requirements for the carbon monoxide-depleted fluid exiting the apparatus. For instance, in low pressure operations where it may be desirable to minimize the pressure drop across the apparatus, two or more reactors having relatively smaller dimensions can be utilized. In higher pressure operations where pressure drop across the preferential oxidation apparatus is of less concern, a single reactor having larger dimensions may be utilized. The relatively narrow dimension of the catalyst bed coupled with the relatively large surface are used for heat transfer provides for more uniform temperatures within the catalyst bed and improved temperature control of the bed.
