Title: Adjustment mechanism for an automotive seat
Inventor: TAME OMAR D
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1999-10-13
Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A mechanism (16) adjusts a relative position of a component (14) within the vehicle. The mechanism has a mounting bracket (18). A drive drum (20) is mounted rotatably on the bracket for providing a rotary output to adjust the component (14). An actuation handle (22) is rotatably mounted to the drive drum (20) and rotatable relative to the drive drum (20) from a neutral position. A coil spring (24) surrounds the drive drum (20) in a sliding engagement. A return spring assembly (54) engages the coil spring (24). The handle (22) engages the coil spring (24) and the return spring assembly (54). As the handle (22) is rotated from the neutral position, the coil spring (24) is rotated in a winding sense about the drive drum (20) and against the return spring (54) thereby coupling the handle (22) and the drive drum (20) for rotation. As the handle (22) is counter rotated towards the neutral position, the return spring assembly (54) urges the coil spring (24) to rotate in an unwinding sense, uncoupling the handle (22) from the drive drum (20).

Title: Steam turbine controller having method and apparatus for providing variable frequency regulation
Inventor: WESTPHAL BERND ARTUR KARL
IPC: H02P9/04
Filed: 2001-07-05
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a steam turbine (10) having a speed-loop droop governor (32) with two load--frequency error gains (44, 46) (droops). The first gain (fast change) may be a conventional high gain (44) that is used for power loads that have a constant frequency. When using only the first gain, the high rate of the first gain causes the droop governor to shut off steam to the turbine if the speed of the turbine drifts above a narrow speed range centered on the rated speed set-point. The second gain 46 (slow change) is a low gain that causes the droop governor to tolerate a wide range of turbine speeds about the rated speed set-point (36).

Abstract: An improved casement window is provided which includes a tie bar and at least two tie bar guides through which the tie bar slidably extends. The tie bar guides are secured to a window frame which includes an elongated groove that extends parallel to the tie bar. Each tie bar guide includes at least one locating leg that extends outward from the tie bar guide body and that is received in the groove of the window frame to assist in the easy location of the tie bar guide and tie bar along the window frame. Further, each tie bar guide may be equipped with a protruding nib that is received in an aperture disposed in the tie bar. The cooperation of the tie bar guide and the aperture of the tie bar ensures that the tie bar guide is properly spaced along the length of the tie bar. The nib is sheared off of the tie bar guide after the tie bar guide is secured to the window frame and the tie bar is moved axially through the guide. The tie bar guide may also include outwardly protruding ribs that provide structural support for the wood stop that overlays the tie bar, the tie bar guides and the window frame. Distal ends of the back wall of the tie bar guides may be tapered and supported by a ledge. 'The length of the tapered distal ends may be shortened to adjust the position of the tie bar guides with respect to the window frame. The roller of the tie bar may be eccentrically mounted to enable the position of the roller to be adjusted after the tie bar and tie bar guides are secured to the frame. An improved keeper is provided which can be more securely attached to the sash to prevent pull-out.

Title: Upright vacuum cleaner having detachable upright handle
Inventor: HUNTER MURRAY D
IPC: A47L5/28
Filed: 2002-06-20
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: A latching mechanism for an upright vacuum cleaner which allows an upright handle to be quickly and easily detached and reattached to an independently usable powerhead of the vacuum cleaner. The latching mechanism includes a pair of attachment portions formed at a lower end portion of the upright handle which cooperate with a pair of recesses formed in a housing of the powerhead. A foot actuated release lever allows the user to detach the upright handle only when the handle is in an upright orientation.

Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: A resistivity tool for use in an LWD system includes a transmitter array with multiple transmitters (T1, T2, T3) positioned above a pair of receivers (R1, R2). The transmitters (T1, T2, T3) are selectively energized, causing current to be induced in the collar of the tool. The axial current in the tool collar is measured by the pair of receivers (R1, R2) to determine the amount of current that flows into the formation between the receivers (R1, R2). From this, the formation resistivity can be measured for each transmitter to provide multiple depths of investigation. A plurality of discrete electrodes (500) are positioned between the two receivers (R1, R2) to permit imaging of the borehole by obtaining azimuthally sensitive resistivity readings based upon the voltage level at each discrete electrode and the amount of current flowing into the formation.
