Abstract: A microprocessor controlling a shuttle shift transmission may be programmed while the gearshift lever is in neutral to preselect a forward and reverse gear into which the transmission is shifted when the gearshift lever is moved to a forward or reverse position. The microprocessor may also be programmed so that, in shifting between forward and reverse, the forward and reverse gears selected differ by a pre-programmed amount. The microprocessor may be programmed to control vehicle deceleration by selecting gears in the transmission so that the transmission and/or the vehicle engine become a load for decelerating the vehicle. In a diagnostic mode, the microprocessor executes a routine to develop a clutch calibration value which may later be used to insure uniformity of clutch operation in different vehicles, or in the same vehicle over a period of time. The normal speed ratio matching which normally takes place when shifting gears may be manually overridden by operator manipulation of the gearshift lever. The override may either terminate speed ratio matching for a particular shift, or the override may be effective for a fixed interval of time.

Abstract: A layer of thermal fusible material is placed on one surface of a metal oxide varistor (MOV) to monitor the heating of the MOV due to applied voltage spikes. The thermal fusible material is part of the electrical circuit which includes the MOV and melts at a predetermined temperature. In the presence of a severe or a number of voltage spikes the MOV heats up and the heat transferred to the thermal fusible material causes it to open the electrical circuit to the MOV to prevent overheating and thermal runaway. In another form, the MOV is separated into two halves and the thermal fusible material layer is placed between the ends of the MOV halves.

Granted: 2005-05-24
Abstract: A running tool is disclosed to deliver tools downhole, preferably supported on a wireline. The running tool will not release the downhole tool before the desired depth is reached, even if an obstruction is encountered. The tool has the ability to release upon application of pressure in the wellbore. The tool features a floating piston with a pre-charged chamber on one side. Hydrostatic pressure acts on the opposite side of the floating piston as the running tool descends. When the downhole tool reaches its desired depth and becomes supported, slacking on the wireline traps the hydrostatic on one side of the floating piston. Applied wellbore pressure, acting on a release piston exposed to the trapped hydrostatic on its opposite side, shifts the release piston and releases the running tool from the downhole tool.      On the way uphole, the trapped hydrostatic pressure is released.

Title: Ultrasonic seafood probe
Inventor: GUIGNE JACQUES Y
IPC: A22C29/02
Filed: 2000-06-07
Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: Apparatus for evaluating a part of a seafood animal such as a lobster claw, to determine the ratio of meat to water and other characteristics, including first and second transducers (12, 14) that are coupled to spaced locations on the part P  of the animal so when the first transducer transmits sonic energy it passes through the animal part to the second transducer. A circuit (34) coupled to the second transducer analyzes detected sonic energy. In one system, the circuit calculates the velocity of sound through the part of the seafood animal. A higher velocity indicates a higher meat content. Another circuit includes an indicator that indicates the amplitude of sound detected by the second transducer, especially the amplitude of sound of the predominant frequency generated by the first transducer, that has passed directly through the animal part. A lower amplitude indicates a higher meat content. A pressure sensor (124) automatically activates the first transducer to generate sonic energy, when the transducers are pressed with a predetermined force against the part of the seafood animal. The transducers can be mounted on a glove (92) between the thumb (T) and an opposed finger (F), so the part can be tested when it is picked up by a person wearing the glove.

Title: Attachment assembly for use on flat roofs
Inventor: PALMER THEODORE R
IPC: A62B1/04
Filed: 2001-02-13
Granted: 2004-05-04
Abstract: An attachment assembly provides a secure attachment point for the fall arrest tether lines of safety harnesses of workers on flat roofs, the assembly being movable over the roof as required. The assembly can be used alone, but usually is mounted on a wheeled utility cart as employed by roofers to move materials on the roof, or may be an integral part of such a cart. The assembly has a base frame that is spaced from the roof edge over which the worker may fall. An attachment member for tether lines is mounted on the base frame together with at least two longitudinally spaced surface engaging arm, the arms being located at the frame side nearer to the roof edge. When the assembly is in operative position each arm has its lower end, which usually has teeth, close to the roof surface. A counterweight is mounted on the opposite side of the base frame. Upon a fall from the roof the tether line pulls on the attachment member downward and toward the edge, the pull tilting the base and cart frames to engage the teeth with the roof surface, whereupon the ends become pivots about which the frames can pivot against the counterweight, which ensures only minor tilting and/or dragging of the assembly toward the edge. With e.g.  concrete roofs the teeth may be replaced by bolts in the surface against which the arm ends butt for the assembly to pivot.

Title: Apparatus, computer system and computer program for determining a cardio-vascular parameter
Inventor: BURGER THORSTEN
IPC: A61B5/029
Filed: 2000-10-27
Granted: 2005-06-07
Abstract: A computer system (104) is connected to an injection means (107) to inject at a first place (101) a bolus warmer or colder than patient's blood. The travelling temperature deviation thus introduced to the patient's vascular system (103) passes the pulmonary circulation (111), where an extravascular thermovolume (112) may be present. When the temperature deviation reaches the second place (102), where blood temperature is measured by a sensor device (117) connected to the computer system (104), it is recorded as Thermodilution Curve (15), from which the computer system (104) determines an extravascular thermovolume estimate. Depending on that result the computer system (104) calculates a new amount of bolus to be injected by the injection means (107). The higher the extravascular thermovolume estimate, the higher the new amount of bolus. The new travelling temperature deviation thus introduced to patient's vascular system (103) eventually reaches the second place (102), where it is recorded as an improved Thermodilution Curve (17) from which cardio-vascular parameters of improved accuracy are derived by the computer system (104).
