Title: Inserting clamp with cord protector
Inventor: SHAK MAN HUANG
IPC: H02G1/08
Filed: 2001-05-04
Abstract: A lead-in clamp and an electric wire protective casing are disclosed. The electric wire protective casing is a long plastic roll tube, whose longitudinal free edges are not sealed, but rather can be expanded out and drawn back, on the roll tube there being formed a series of uniformly spaced transverse recesses. The lead-in clamp comprises left and right clamp stems, left and right clamp bodies and a clamping spring. When the left and right clamp bodies are fitted together, a wire passing cylinder and a casing guiding head are formed. When in use, the wires are put into the wire passing cylinder, then insert the casing guiding head into one end of the wire protective casing tube. After the wire protective casing tube is fixed stationary by hand, the lead-in clamp is pushed toward the other end of the wire protective casing, thereby to encase all of the wires into the wire protection casing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing glare created by oncoming headlights or the sun at either dusk or dawn is disclosed. The method uses a light filter (24) to reduce the intensity of light encountered by a driver from oncoming headlights in a region. The region is defined by the driver's side portion (18) of the windshield (10) and a separatrix (26). The separatrix (26) includes a horizontal segment (28), a vertical segment (30), and a perspecti ve segment (32). The horizontal segment is located between the driver's side portion (18) and the passenger's side portion (20). The vertical segment (30 ) begins at a central position on the upper portion (14) and ends at the first  end of the horizontal segment. The perspective segment (32) begins at the second end of the horizontal segment and extends downward at an obtuse angle  towards the driver's side portion ending at the lower portion (16) of the windshield. The light filter uses either tinted elements, polarized elements , or a combination of both tinted and polarized elements for reducing the intensity of the light.

Abstract: A patent for "Hydrostatic sidestick coupling" has been submitted (ref. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/148,134, filed August 10th, 1999 and Patent Application No. 09/616,479, filed July 14th, 2000) as a simple and cost effective concept to couple multiple pilot controls in a vehicle. This was based on a set of fluid filled metal bellow assemblies connected together with flexible tubing to provide motion copy between the pilot and,the co-pilot as well as spring rate and damping functions normally required in independent sidesticks.       While the original patent describes concepts needed to allow coupling and de-coupling functions the present embodiments propose modifications such as the addition of elements to provide increased functionality that are particularly suitable in the context of aircraft operations.      These are namely asymmetric: roll forces, autopilot backdrive, force override, disconnect, and fluid volume compensation.      Additionally, an improvement to the sidestick mechanism is proposed.

Abstract: A seed meter and accelerator comprises a stationary housing, a stationary axially extending dispensing rim, a radially extending flange and a rotating disc. The stationary housing is provided with an axially extending metering rim. The metering rim is provided with a metering gap. The stationary axially extending dispensing rim is located radially outward from the metering rim and is provided with a dispensing gap. The radially extending flange extends between the axially extending metering rim and the axially extending dispensing rim. The rotating disc is provided with an inner portion having circumferentially arranged seed pockets and an outer portion having seed dispensing openings. Each seed pocket corresponds to a seed dispensing opening. Passages extend between the seed pockets and the seed dispensing openings. The seed pockets of the inner portion are located adjacent to and radially inward from the metering rim. The seed dispensing openings are located adjacent to and radially inward from the dispensing rim. A source of air pressure pressurizes the stationary housing driving seeds into the seed pockets. When a seed pocket is registered with the metering gap the air pressure and centrifugal force drive the seed outwardly through the passage to the seed dispensing opening. At the opening the seed is held in place by the air pressure and the centrifugal force of the rotating disc until it reaches the seed dispensing gap. As the seed is released from the seed dispensing gap it proceeds into the seed furrow.

Title: Pyroelectric conversion system
Inventor: IKURA MICHIO
IPC: H02N11/00
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: When the temperature of pyroelectric film is increased from low to high near its phase transition temperature its ability to hold electrical charge on its surfaces diminishes, and the charge can be drawn as current through an external load resistor. Once the film temperature reaches a steady temperature, no more power can be drawn. However, if the film temperature is lowered again, it will restore charge on the film surfaces and the pyroelectric conversion process can be repeated. Because pyroelectric conversion depends on the degree of temperature change and the repetition rate of the process, the faster the cycling the more power it can generate by converting heat to electric power. An improved apparatus and method is disclosed for converting heat to electrical energy with a multi-layered stack of thin pyroelectric films. The pyroelectric film surface is cycled between higher and lower temperatures by the displacement of higher and lower temperature fluid over the film surface. The system alternates hot and cold fluid without reversing direction of the fluids over the films to achieve rapid thermal cycling with this uni-directional fluid flow. A novel voltage controller slave to a magnetic proximity switch mounted on a rotating flow controller, provides synchonization of the thermal and electric cycling of the pyroelectric films.

Abstract: Loss-less data compression/decompression especially useful in a limited resource environment such as a handheld portable video game system allows graphics and/or attribute data to be efficiently and quickly decompressed on  an as-needed basis in real time response to interactive user inputs. A two- level run-length-encoding is used to encode redundant patterns and redundant  symbols. A common sentinel field format encodes whether data following the field is non-redundant data, a symbol run, or a pattern run. Compression ratios of 60% for representative symbol-mapped video display graphics/attribute files can be achieved.
