Title: Electric heating/warming fibrous articles
Inventor: ROCK MOSHE
IPC: D03D15/02
Filed: 2001-02-21
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: A fibrous article that generates heat upon application of electrical power is formed, for example, by joining stitch and loop yarns to form a fibrous prebody, with the loop yarn overlaying the stitch yarn at a technical face and forming loops at a technical back of the fabric prebody. An electrical resistance heating element, e.g., in the form of conductive elements, is joined with the stitch and loop yarns in the prebody at symmetrical and/or asymmetrical spaced-apart intervals as the stitch yarn, the electrical resistance heating elements extending between opposite edge regions of the fibrous article and conductor elements, e.g. located along edge regions, connect the electrical resistance heating elements to a source of electrical power. The technical face and/or the technical back of the fabric body may have fleece formed by finishing non-conductive fibers of the stitch yarn and/or loop yarn in a manner to avoid damage to electrical conductance of the electrical resistance heating elements. Preferably, the conductive elements have the form of a conductive yarn with one or more of: a core of insulating material, an electrical resistance- heating element, e.g., about the core, and a sheath material surrounding the electrical resistance-heating element (and core).

Title: Hydrostatic system with charge flow monitoring
Inventor: MISTRY SANJAY ISHVARLAL
IPC: B62D11/18
Filed: 2001-11-16
Granted: 2004-10-12
Abstract: A system for monitoring the charge flow in a hydrostatic system . The system provides a sharp edge orifice restriction in the drain from the hydrostatic pump, creating a back pressure in the drain that is proportional to the fluid flow through the drain. A pressure switch mounted in the pump case, or in the drain, detects the back pressure in the drain. The pressure switch is designed to be activated at a back pressure that corresponds to the intended charge flow at a specific engine speed. During operation, if the back pressure is not sufficient to cause the pressure switch to be activated at the predetermined engine speed or at a faster engine speed, the charge flow is not sufficient and a warning signal is generated.

Title: Method of determining boundary interface changes in a natural resource deposit
Inventor: MAZZOLA DANIEL P
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-04-13
Granted: 2006-08-15
Abstract: A method of determining changes in the boundary interface in a sub-surface oil reservoir between the to-be-recovered oil and a driveout fluid, such as steam, uses time-displaced gravity gradient measurements to provide an indication of the changes in the gravity gradient over time. The measured data are subject to a simulated annealing optimization to find the global minimum that best represents the observed values within the solution space. The optimization process includes establishing an appropriately constrained model of the oil reservoir and a quantized set of mathematically related parameters that define the model. Successive models are perturbed and evaluated from a figure of merit standpoint until a global minimum that best describes the measured time-lapse data is found.
