Title: Hand-held can opener
Inventor: HOLCOMB DAVID A
IPC: B67B7/46
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: A hand-held can opener having a grip handle, a grip block pivotally mounted to the forward end of the grip handle, a scissors handle pivotally mounted to the grip block, and having a unique improved one way clutching assembly. The clutching assembly employs a pinion gear having slanted notches. A toothed ring has circumferentially spaced slanted teeth that mesh in the slanted notches.  During driving rotation of the toothed ring, right angle surfaces of the slanted notches on the pinion gear and right angle surfaces on the teeth of the toothed ring mesh so that the toothed ring is rotated. This rotation is carried into rotation of a cup through mating non-circular square periphery on the toothed ring fitted in a square recess in the cup. The cup is then connected to an axle to rotatably drive the axle and thus drive the can rim drive wheel. A latch has a stop to maintain the cutter spaced from the can rim drive wheel until rotary motion of the drive wheel is halted.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for carrier tracking. A center frequency of a signal having substantially equal spectral power on both sides of said center frequency is tracked by comparing spectral power contents of filtered versions of the signal. More specifically, a first filter (H1) having a center frequency F1 produces a first output from the signal and a second filter (H2) having a center frequency F2 produces a second output from the signal; the second filter (H2) being matched with the first filter (H1) and the following equiations are met: F1 = FCR + Delta-F and F2 = FCR-Delta F, where FCR is the estimate of the center frequency of said signal and Delta F is a change in frequency. The spectral power contents of the first and second outputs are calculated and the difference therebetween is used to revise the estimate of the center frequency.
