Title: Automated vehicle regulation compliance enforcing system
Inventor: TURPEL BARBARA J
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: The present automated vehicle regulation compliance enforcing system is comprised of an on-board monitoring system for being installed on a heavy truck, and an interrogation system for being installed in enforcement vehicles and inspection stations. The monitoring system is comprised of a processor connected to speed and weigh sensors installed in the truck and trailers. The processor is arranged to monitor various operating parameters of the truck, such as loading, load distribution, speed, driver maintenance information, driving time, and mileage. The processor is also connected to an interface which enables the truck operator to input driver and vehicle information, and a transceiver for communicating with the interrogation system. The interrogation system is comprised of a processor connected to a transceiver, and arranged to interrogate the monitoring system to download data. The interrogation system may be mounted in an enforcement vehicle as a standalone system with a built-in interface attached to the processor, or it may be a PC-based system with a communication port for connecting to a personal computer. In either embodiment, the processor in the interrogation system is arranged to automatically alert enforcement personnel when any the operating parameters of a monitored truck is outside a preset limit.

IPC: A44B11/02
Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: A shoulder strap repositioner for use in combination with a vehicle seat belt assembly having a lap belt and a diagonally-extending shoulder strap. The repositioner is generally "S" shaped in cross section and includes a generally flat panel-like intermediate portion, a generally flat panel-like upwardly extending rear tongue attached at the bottom by a lower connecting web to the intermediate portion so as to define a space for the lap belt, and a generally flat panel-like downwardly extending front tongue attached at the top by an upper connecting web to the intermediate portion so as to define a space for the shoulder strap. So that the repositioner releases itself in the event of a collision, either the downwardly extending front tongue has an upper weakened portion in the form of a notch extending laterally across near the upper connecting web, or the upwardly extending rear tongue has a lower weakened portion in the form of a notch extending laterally across near the lower connecting web, or both. To aid in retention of the repositioner to the lap belt, there is a fastening device at the upper end of the space for the lap belt. The fastening device includes an element on the upwardly extending rear tongue and a mating element on the intermediate portion.

Title: Expandable band and locking mechanism
Inventor: BROCKWAY ROBERT D
IPC: F16L55/163
Filed: 2003-03-24
Abstract: The expandable band is used to secure a sealing element within a generally cylindrical structure, such as a pipe or manhole, or other round hole. The expandable band includes a band body having a first band end portion and a second band end portion. A plurality of slots are disposed in the first band end portion, and a locking member extends from the second band end portion. The locking member is an integral element of the second band end portion and includes a tab for extending through the second band end portion and into one of the plurality of slots to lock the expandable band at the desired diameter. The locking member may also include at least one rib or protrusion. When the band is expanded, the tab is disengaged from the slots and slides over the slots, allowing the first and second band end portions to more relative to one another. At the desired diameter, the tab engages one of the slots to lock the band at the desired diameter. In practice, the sealing member provides a resilient backing against the locking member thus securing the expandable band and providing the desired seal.

Title: Method and arrangement to rapidly lower the rotary speed of a centrifugal separator
Inventor: NYBERG SVEN-OLOF
IPC: B04B9/08
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: In a method of rapidly lowering the rotary speed of a rotating rotor body in a centrifugal separator the lowering of the rotary speed is initiated, when a disturbing unbalance or vibrations have occurred. A space between the rotor body and a stationary casing which surrounds the rotor body is supplied with foam or with an aerosol of a liquid in a gas, when unbalance or vibrations over a certain level have occurred. The rotor body is retarded by the friction, which is obtained between the rotor body, the foam or aerosol and the casing.In an arrangement to lower the rotary speed of a rotating rotor body in a centrifugal separator the lowering is initiated when a disturbing unbalance or disturbing vibrations has occurred. Means are arranged at a certain unbalance or certain vibration level to activate a foam generating device or a device that creates an aerosol for the purpose of filling a space between the rotor body and a casing which surrounds the same with foam or aerosol.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un anneau ou une bande pliable qui est souple pour une manipulation normale, mais qui ne peut pas être étiré de manière circonférentielle une fois qu'il a atteint les limites de sa longueur circonférentielle. La bande peut comporter une voie d'entrée destinée au remplissage, ou celle-ci peut simplement être construite à partir de matière textile permettant à un tube de remplissage de perforer ses parois en vue de permettre le remplissage. Dans ce dernier cas, la paroi perforée tend à s'auto-obturer une fois que le tube de remplissage est retiré. La bande peut être plate ou tubulaire en section transversale. Cependant, à la différence d'un ballon, la bande ne nécessite ni de fond ni de sommet, de même ni fond ni sommet n'est nécessaire lorsqu'on utilise une bande ou un anneau pour entourer la matière injectée dans un espace intervertébral alésé.

Abstract: A coffee extracting apparatus for a coffee machine, which allows easy extraction of coffee liquid and easy removal of coffee grinds, is disclosed. The coffee extracting apparatus includes a machine case, a hopper receiving coffee grinds, a cylinder unit disposed below the hopper and rotated within a certain angle range, a upper piston movably inserted in the cylinder unit and having a hot water path therein, a lower piston inserted in the cylinder unit to press coffee grinds against the upper piston and having coffee discharge paths therein, cam and link members to guide movement of the cylinder, the upper piston and the lower piston, and a drive unit mounted on the machine case to supply driving force to the cam members. The coffee extracting apparatus is easily removed from the coffee machine. A unit amount of coffee liquid is extracted every revolution of the drive unit. Since hot water to be mixed with coffee grinds is supplied to the lower piston from the upper piston, adhesion of coffee grinds on a bottom surface of the upper piston is avoided.

A device that is out of the radio range of the access point may still connect to the CA to validate a certificate or download the appropriate CRL by having all the devices participate in the MANET.
Patent CA-2437657-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN DONG
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: A fault isolation technique for checking the accuracy of data packets transmitted between nodes of a parallel processor (10). An independent CRC is kept of all data sent from one processor to another. At the end of each checkpoint, the CRCs are compared. If they do not match, there was an error.  The CRCs may be cleared and restarted at each checkpoint. In the preferred embodiment, the basic functionality is to calculate a CRC of all packet data that has been successfully transmitted across a given link. This CRC is done on both ends of the link, thereby allowing an independant check on all data believed to have been correctly transmitted. Preferably, all links have this CRC coverage, and the CRC used in this link level check is different from that used in the packet transfer protocol. This independent check, if successfully passed, virtually eliminateds the possibility that any data errors were missed during the previous transfer period.
