Title: Locked lever connector with two methods of release
Inventor: TAKAHASHI TOSHIHARU
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 2007-02-08
Abstract: A lever-fitting connector has a lock arm 19 for retaining a lever 13. The lock can be released by pressing first cancellation structure 22 with a finger, or by inserting a retaining cancellation jig 25 into a second cancellation structure in a direction intersecting a direction of pressing of the lock arm and then operating the jig. The second retaining cancellation structure includes a jig guide serving as a lever fulcrum for the retaining cancellation jig. This allows connectors to be mounted closer together as it is no longer necessary to leave a space big enough for a finger between them.

Title: Alerting a community to security problems via SMS
Inventor: GOGNA PARWEEN
IPC: G08B25/10
Filed: 2007-05-14
Abstract: The present invention allows registered users within a community, e.g. a neighbourhood, to warn each other of security problems, e.g. criminal activity.

Title: Method for determining tracer concentration in oil and gas production fluids
Inventor: FERGUSON ROYCE BECK
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2007-05-22
Abstract: A method for determining the extent of recovery of materials injected or otherwise introduced into oil wells or subsurface formations is practiced using a portable device. The portable device can also be used to determiner the occurrence of a predetermined condition in an oil well such as water break through in a production zone, or the opening or closing of a sliding sleeve. When, for example, water breakthrough is detected, the zone producing too much water can be plugged, using, for example, a flow-through bridge plug, if there are other producing zones further downhole. The portable device may be used to make quantitative measurements or it may be used to do pre-screening of samples thereby avoiding further testing of negative samples.

Title: Steering system and method for train of wheeled vehicles
Inventor: DEMONG MAURICE
IPC: B62D13/00
Filed: 2008-02-07
Abstract: A steering system and method are capable of steering a plurality of vehicles arranged in a train with adjacent vehicles pivotally connected to each other for movement about a vertical axis. Each vehicle has a pair of steerable wheels with one pair at one end of the train being a selected leading pair having its steering angle determined by an operator. An electrical control system automatically steers all of the wheels trailing behind the leading pair. Vehicle angle sensors measure intercar angles between adjacent vehicles and provide this information to the control system. An indicator provides the controller with the current distance travelled by the train. Wheel angle sensors provide signals indicative of the current steering angle for each wheel pair. The controller adjusts the actual steering angle for each trailing pair to a desired angle by calculating adjustments based on the measurement inputs.

In a method of forming a coil for an electrical machine, an insulating strip 10 is formed with cuts (19, Fig. 2, not shown), along opposed edges so as to form a number of tongues 20, the strip 10 is then wound around the core 12 of the machine with the tongues bent outwardly perpendicular to the central region of the strip, the free ends of the strip are then bonded together and the coil is wound with insulated wire 25, the ends of the tongues are then bent towards each other and secured in place by an adhesive tape 26. The completed insulated coil can be mounted between poles (27, 28, Fig. 4, not shown) of a rotor of an alternator such as for use in motor vehicles. In apparatus for forming the coil (Fig. 1, not shown), the cut strip 10 is inserted in a groove (16) and is pushed to the required shape by a slide (17). The strip 10 is then wrapped around the machine core 12 and is placed between two parts 23, 24 (Fig. 3) so that after the coil 25 has been wound, movement of these parts towards each other bends the ends of the tongues to surround the coil; the adhesive strip is then applied to secure the tongues in place.
