Title: Positive air flow drive train unit for utility vehicle
Inventor: HASTINGS DAWSON
IPC: B60K17/00
Filed: 2005-02-09
Abstract: A utility vehicle is provided which has a CVT drive unit. A housing for the drive unit provides an enclosure for the CVT drive components and defines an air flow path. An inlet port associated with the CVT housing includes a fan assembly which provides a source for filtered ambient air flow into the CVT housing. An outlet port associated with the CVT housing provides an exit for the air flow path and equalizes pressure within the enclosure. The interior of the housing is pressurized with ambient air in order to cool the CVT components therein. The pressurized air also creates an air curtain which prevents moisture and debris from intruding into the housing. Preferably the fan is powered separately from the engine of the utility vehicle to ensure positive air flow into the CVT housing even when the engine is in idle mode.

Patent CA-2523139-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JENA AKSHAYA
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 2004-04-21
Abstract: A pressurizable sample chamber of known volume holds a sample with unknown porosity characteristics. The sample chamber has a known pressure (or vacuum).  A flow controller preferably controls the flow of the pure gas to be adsorbeb by the sample in the sample chamber. A pressure monitor preferably monitors the pressure in the sample chamber. Once the pressure approaches a target pressure, the flow controller is closed. The pressure monitor continues to monitor the pressure until it stops changing when an equilibrium is attained.  The amount of gas introduced into the system through the flow controller and the volume and final pressure of the sample chamber are used to calculate the amount of gas adsorbed. This calculation is subsequently used to determine the porosity characteristics of the sample. Some of these characteristics include, but are not limited to, pore distribution and surface area.

Patent CA-2548404-A1 (CA)
Title: Impact tool
Inventor: BERARD CRAIG A
IPC: B25D9/14
Filed: 2004-12-16
Abstract: An impact tool (20) has a slidable hammer (82) that is driven by hydraulic oil under pressure inside a chamber (26,89). The hydraulic oil is pressurized by a piston (110,280) driven by compressed gas on the opposite side of the piston (110,282) from the hydraulic oil. The gas in the gas chamber (62,72,251A,294) is compressed by the piston (110,282) on an initial stroke, and has a large annular chamber (62,294) holding the gas so that higher average gas pressure can be attained during a power stroke of the piston (110,282). As the piston (110,282) is moved to compress the gas, the piston lifts a valve (116,256) that opens a passage (134,135,136,262,264,265) for the hydraulic oil moved by the piston (110,280) to act on a hammer (82) to impact a breaking tool (98).  The piston (110,280) is a two part (112,114,284,290) piston that serves to lower the inertia during the final closing of the valve (116,256), and thereby reduces impact loads on the valve (116,256) as it is closed. The valve (116,256) also is controlled as to its stroke for efficient operation.

Abstract: A distributed DSLAM, which comprises a head end subsystem located within a switching facility and a remote subsystem located outside of the switching facility. The head end subsystem is operative for routing streams of data from a data network to the remote subsystem over a communication link, while the remote subsystem is operative for transmitting over a set of local loops analog signals comprising digitally modulated versions of the data. Separating the routing and modem functionality between inside and outside plant facilities reduces heat dissipation in the outside plant, leading to increased reliability. Flow control can be performed in the upstream and downstream directions by transmitting portions of individual packets and withholding other portions of individual packets. This is done instead of withholding the transmission of entire packets. As a result, the perceived impact on video quality, for example, is lessened.
