Title: A differential mechanism with annular wave springs to reduce driveline clunk
Inventor: MIAH SAYID
IPC: F16H48/08
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A differential mechanism 10 includes annular wave springs 52, each annular wave spring 52 is located between the back surface 36, 42 of one of a pair of side gears 32, 34 and an adjacent inner surface (50, 54, fig 2) of a differential casing 12. The annular wave springs 52 are formed with waves that extend around the circumference and radially across the width of each annular wave spring 52. When the differential mechanism 10 transmits torque, each annular wave spring 52 is compressed by a thrust force produced by mating teeth of two pinions 28, 30 with the two side gears 32, 34 thereby producing a spring force that urges the side gears 32, 34 towards the pinions 28, 30. The thrust compresses the wave springs 52 against the inner surfaces (50, 54), producing a resilient force, this resilient force reduces clearance between the mating teeth, reduces lash, thereby modulating driveline clunk.

Title: Locking down a tendon or riser mooring
Inventor: MUNK BRIAN N
IPC: B63B21/50
Filed: 2007-06-15
Abstract: A tendon or riser connector has a separate lock-down device 21 that overrides the connector's ability to unlock if the riser or tendon goes slack. The locking device may have blocks (23, Fig 4) that are radially actuated through a hole (26, Fig 3) in a receptacle 11 to engage a profile (29, Fig 6) in the connector. When the blocks are pushed in, they prevent the connector from moving downward, and thus prevent any unlocking of the connector. The blocks may be secured with pivotable gates (41, Fig 5B) that engage and retain the blocks in both positions, engaged and disengaged. A method for the operation of the lock down system is also disclosed.

Title: Insertion of error detection circuits based on error propagation within integrated circuits
Inventor: BLOME JASON ANDREW
IPC: G06F11/26
Filed: 2005-10-03
Abstract: A method of selecting where error detection circuits (20) should be placed within an integrated circuit uses simulation of a reference and test design with errors injected into the test design and then fan out analysis performed upon those injected errors to identify error propagation characteristics. Thus, registers (12) at which propagated errors are highly likely to manifest themselves or which protect key architectural state, or which protect state not otherwise protected can be identified and so an efficient deployment of error detection mechanisms achieved. Within an integrated circuit (68) output signals from inactive circuit elements may be subject to isolation gating (92, 94, 96, 98, 100) in dependence upon a detected current state of the integrated circuit. Thus, inactive circuit elements in which soft errors occur have inappropriate output signal; gated from reaching the rest of the integrated circuit and thus reducing erroneous operation.

Title: Apparatus for comparing photographic transparencies
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 1932-04-08
Abstract: 399,558. Photometric apparatus. ELECTRICAL RESEARCH PRODUCTS, Inc., 195, Broadway, New York, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Dawson, W. L. ; 233, West 21st Street, New York, U.S.A.) April 8, 1932, No. 10161. Convention date, April 28, 1931. [Classes 97 (i) and 98 (i).] Apparatus for comparing photographic transparencies comprises driving means for simultaneously moving two transparencies through separate restricted beams of light so that con. tinuously changing restricted areas of the transparencies are illuminated, the light transmitted by these areas being caused to fall on two photo-sensitive devices which are differentially connected to an indicator. The invention is particularly intended for comparing the density of the sound record on a kinematograph positive film with that of the record on a standard positive. The film 44 to be tested and the standard film 44<1> are drawn from spools 13, 12 and pass along parallel paths through a cabinet 10 and over drive sprockets 20, 21 to take up spools 26, 27. Within the cabinet is a source of light 42 of such length as to illuminate both films. Light from this source is projected by a lens 50 and reflector 51 on to a slot 52 aligned with the sound track of the film 44, the light passing through the slot and the sound track being incident on a photoelectric cell 54. Light is similarly passed through the sound track of the film 441 on to a cell 55 and the two cells are arranged in a circuit including a battery and a galvanometer 58 in such a way that the galvanometer is deflected when the currents passing through the two cells are different. The galvanometer mirror is illuminated from the source 42 by a lens 56 and reflector 57 and reflects light to a reflector 59 and thence to the scale 60. The light 42 also illuminates a diffusing-screen 43 against which the film 44 can be visually inspected. To prevent injury to the galvanometer when one of the films is removed, each film has a roller 68 pressed against it by a spring 69 so that on removal of the film the roller is drawn forward and closes contacts 70, 71 to complete a short-circuit round the galvanometer. The two pairs of contacts for the two films are arranged in parallel.

Abstract: 391,967. Cutting vegetation: SMITH, H. S., Caledonia, Tobago, British West Indies. April 8, 1932, No. 10167. Convention date, May 11, 1931. [Class 6 (iii).] A manually-controlled machine with cutting elements rotating in a horizontal plane for cutting grass, weeds, and the like in plantations of cocoa, citrus or other low-branching trees has the cutting elements driven by a prime mover and mounted upon a forward or rearward extension of a wheeled chassis, the axis of the cutting elements being disposed from the pivotal axis of the machine a distance greater than is the operating point of the handle or handles for the manual operation from the same pivotal axis. The main chassis 1 is mounted on wheels 2 and carries the turntable 3 of a pivoted subframe. The sub-frame terminates at one end in guiding handles 5 while the other end extends well forward of the chassis and carries rotary cutting elements 6 driven by a belt 9 from a prime mover such as a two-stroke internalcombustion engine. The knives 6 are bolted to a boss at the lower end of a vertical shaft 11. A coverplate 16 may be provided over the belt and a distance-plate below the knives such distance-plate being provided in its periphery with apertures of a width just sufficient to take the knives but insufficient to allow the passage of their thickened ends should a knife become loose. The main frame may be driven and the sub-frame in addition to its turntable movement may be adapted for movement about a horizontal axis. In a modification the cutting frame is mounted directly upon a single axle the turntable being dispensed with. The cutting means may be connected by a positive drive to the prime mover. In this case the knives 30 are mounted on their driving plate by plates 31 secured by pivots to the driving plate : centrifugal force normally holds the knives in operative position but permits yielding should an obstruction be encountered. Handles may be provided on both the main and the subframes.
