Patent EP-1378432-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JURRENS JESSE A
IPC: B62K25/10
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: An air-bag suspension system for a motorcycle having a
motorcycle main frame, fender struts extending outwardly from
the main frame, and a swing arm pivotally mounted to the main
frame about a pivot axis, The air-bag suspension system
includes shock absorber assemblies each having an air-bag.
The air in the air-bags is generated by an on-board compressor
and released through a solenoid valve. The air-bag suspension
system replaces the standard coil spring hydraulic suspension
commonly found on motorcycles and provides a greater range of
adjustment, remotely controlled, while the motorcycle is in
use. The air-bag suspension system accommodates heavier loads
than the stock suspension systems when the air-bags are fully
inflated; and when deflated completely, provide an
aesthetically pleasing stance. The range of wheel travel
provided allows the rider to adjust the suspension to provide
the smoothest ride coupled with an increased load capacity or
adverse road conditions.

Abstract: Sunglasses are designed to be removably attached to existing eyeglasses using magnetic repelling force. The existing eyeglasses may have lenses to which are attached, on the outboard sides, temples that curve around from the plane of the eyeglass lenses and to which are pivotably attached ear pieces. On the inboard side of the lenses, a bridge interconnects them. The sunglasses have a bridge to which is attached, to either side, sunglass lenses. The attachment means consists of a rearwardly facing arm on the sunglasses to which a magnet is affixed, at each location, and magnets affixed on the eyeglasses in alignment with the magnets on the sunglasses. At each side of the eyeglasses, L-shaped brackets are provided that have C-shaped cross-sections. The magnets are arranged, on each side of the eyeglasses and sunglasses, respectively, so that when the sunglasses are placed into adjacency with the eyeglasses, like poles of the adjacent magnets face one another to create a repelling force therebetween. The repelling force forces the magnets carried on the sunglasses rearwardly away from the magnets carried on the eyeglass frames, and into a recess formed by the C-shaped cross-section of the L-shaped brackets. The repelling force between the magnet pairs retains the magnets carried by the sunglasses within the recesses in the L-shaped brackets to maintain the sunglasses mounted on the eyeglasses.

Inventor: NORTH JOHN HERBERT
IPC: B04C5/26
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: A method of separating particles from particle laden air is described. The apparatus
employed is a multiple stage separator in which the first stage comprises a generally
cylindrical chamber (18) having a hollow central member (50) extending axially from one end
thereof with openings in its wall (53) remote from the said one end. The first separation step is
achieved by introducing air tangentially into the chamber (18) near its said one end, the
tangential entry in combination with an unapertured region of the wall (53) of the central
member establishing a rotating mass of air in the chamber, thereby causing heavier than air
particles to migrate to the outer regions of the chamber (18) under centrifugal force;. Suction is
applied to the interior of the central member (42) to cause an axial movement of air through the
chamber before it can exit through the openings in the wall (53) of the central member. The
suction force is selected such that particles near the walls of the chamber tend to continue
in a generally rotational and axially progressive path into a particle collecting region (26) of the
chamber, while relatively particle-free air is drawn radially inwardly, as it progresses
axially, so as to exit to a second separation stage (40), through the openings in the central
member wall (53). A skirt (56) extends from the end of the central member beyond the region
containing the exit openings, to define a narrow annular gap between the skirt (56) and the wall(22)
of the chamber, so that particles in the collection region (26) are prevented from reaching the
exit openings (52). An annular flange (68) is provided around the central member (50) between the
unapertured and apertured regions of the wall thereof, so as to force the vortex of rotating
air within the chamber away from the central member as it progresses along the chamber (18).
Particles separated in a later separation stage (40) are conveyed to a particle collecting region (66)
via a passage extending through the central member (50) of the first stage, which may include a
valve which is closed during air flow, and is opened after air flow ceases to allow particles
collected upstream of the valve to pass into the particle collecting region.

Abstract: A work hardened articulating surface for anatomical prosthetics.
Articulating surfaces of prosthetics are work hardened to decrease the wear and
increase the longevity of the prosthetic after implantation. The articulating
surface can be hardened in any number of ways, for example the articulating
surface can be formed from stock material that has been work hardened
throughout or the articulating surface can be work hardened prior to final finishing
of the prosthetic component. Regardless, the hardened articulating surface
reduces wear after implantation while eliminating the need for a separate bearing
component.
