Title: An apparatus and method for distance measurement with controlled modulation of emitted pulses
Inventor: RAYKHMAN ALEXANDER M
IPC: G01S7/40
Filed: 2004-02-11
Abstract: Pulse transit time-based method for distance measurement employs a complex multi-parametric modulation of emitted pulses with adaptive control of the parameters of modulation. An evaluation of the pulse transit time-variable's observability in a measuring cycle is used as an input of the adaptive control loop. The achieved special pattern of received pulses provides for obtaining a vector of characteristic elements on the pattern with low sensibility to active and passive disturbances present during measurement. These characteristic elements are used by the method for the accurate measurement of the pulse transit time, and consequently, for the calculation of the distance between the emitter of pulses and the target.
Patent CA-2517793-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOTH TIHAMER LASZLO
IPC: B65G47/244
Filed: 2005-09-02
Abstract: This is a powered apparatus originally designed to straighten lumber on a moving conveyor, in front of a lug loading system, at a planer mill. Because of varying lengths of lumber, the longer pieces tend to pivot around the shorter pieces. This apparatus applies a downward force on the even end of the pieces, increasing the resultant friction between the work and the moving conveyor directly under the apparatus, thereby straightening the pieces. The arms illustrated are for pieces of the same thickness; a different arm configuration will also handle pieces of different thickness. It can also be modified to convert a tangential force to an intensified normal force, and applied to any material, stationary or moving. Force is transferred through pivoting arms attached to a carriage, in an almost perpendicular direction to the action of the actuating force.

Title: Magnetic assembly for magnetically actuated control devices
Inventor: EDMONSON MAHLON WILLIAM JR
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 2004-03-11
Abstract: A magnetically actuated apparatus, which enlarges, extends and makes continuous magnetic fields used by magnetically controlled devices, such as a magnetic reed switch for use in physical security monitoring systems is shown.  Apparatus includes a sensor (88) and a magnetic actuator (90, 92) for use with a movable closure member. The sensor is mounted into to a fixed support member (148) that is arranged for displacement relative to a second movable support member (146). The sensor has a pair of contacts that are connectable to an electronic circuit. The contacts form a switch that is actuated by the magnetic actuator. The magnetic actuator comprises a unique elongated magnet with specific polarity or a plurality of aligned, alike permanent magnets that are mountable to the second support member. The aligned magnets (90, 92) have like magnetic fields that align one another and combine to form an effective magnetic actuation field that has a given magnitude and a given direction that is greater that the magnitude and direction than any one of the magnets. The elongated magnet has a specific pole for a given distance as its controlling means. The effective magnetic actuation field increases the distance in which the movable support member is displaceable relative to the fixed support member without changing the electric condition of the sensor. The present invention creates a magnetic apparatus, having a wider and controllable gap and break point distance not found in the present art.

Inventor: TALESFORE NICHOLAS F
IPC: A47L1/06
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: A spring-biased pivoting squeegee to a handle. The head (12) is movable between a rest position, in which the head is angularly displaced from the handle (16) and a biased position in which the head (12), handle (16), and wiping blade (14) are in linear relation. In the biased position, the wiping blade is maintained at an optimum angle for cleaning a glass surface even with the handle held generally perpendicular to the glass. A spring (60) is fully contained in the head and biases the head toward the rest position. A tension adjustment knob (80) in the head permits adjustment of the spring to a tension level according to the ergonomic requirements of a user. In a second embodiment of the invention an improved locking mechanism comprises a pivoting lock lever (260) held against the top wall (262) of a recess in the head (202) of the squeegee by a retainer (278). The lock lever (260) is movable between locked and released positions. In the locked position stop surfaces (276) on the lock lever abut with upward facing ledges (256) of side plates (250) on the forward portion of the main handle body (208) to lock the head (202) in the biased position. Two springs (306) have forward projections (308) which rest in downwardly biased engagement on a spring pull nut (304). The spring pull nut is adjustable by turning an adjustment knob (294) to modify the tension on the springs. Slip-resistant surfaces on the handle (208) and head (202) improve handling of the squeegee.

Title: Forged blade for bale processing machines
Inventor: SVENDSEN MELVIN
IPC: A01F29/06
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: A bale processing machine features blades that gradually increase in width toward their cutting edges. The blades are mounted on a rotating drum by pivot pins passing through eye portions of the blades. By gradually increasing the width of the blade portion extending outward from the eye portion, the effective cutting area is increased without the significant increase in mass associated with widening a typical blade of uniform width. Furthermore, this gradual widening concentrates mass at the blade tip to better distribute kinetic energy at the cutting edge of the blade during drum rotation. In a second embodiment, the blade is twisted along the blade portion to set the cutting edge at an angle to improve cutting performance in the case where the drum and the strands of baled material are parallel by ensuring the cutting edge extends across the strands.
