Granted: 2008-06-10
Abstract: A Hand-held rebreather/breathing apparatus for high altitude pre-acclimatization and training. Air exhaled by a user is directed to a reservoir bag for cooling and condensate collection. At inhalation negative pressure created a mixing chamber forces the air stored in the reservoir bag to pass via CO2 absorption chamber where it mixes with a fresh portion of the ambient air that influxes via orifice (s) communicating with this chamber. Baseline of the minimum oxygen concentration in inspired air can be pre-set by means of adjustment of the maximum volume of the reservoir bag and/or by means of altering of the diameter of one or a plurality of orifices for communiation of the ambient air. Biofeedback is provided by a pulse oximeter that reflects the individual reaction to hypoxic air breathing and allows to optimize treatment for an individual.

Abstract: A method and system for processing a video image is provided. A video camera system in the context of non-uniform lighting includes a module for developing a shutter speed control signal, analog gain control signal and color balance signals from pixel luminance over one filed of video. The control signals are used to control the camera during the next field. During one field, the speed control signal and the analog gain signal target dark areas of the image. During the next field, they target the bright areas of the image. Every pixel is within a workable range of luminance in at least one of two alternate fields. As the color balance settings are adjusted according to the exposure settings and the luminance level, consistent hue values are maintained between alternate fields. A pixel color detection circuit examines each pixel based on a color offset signal to determine whether it is in a color region of interest.

Title: Toggle-action dispensing closure with an actuation-prevention system incorporating permanent deformation
Inventor: ROBERTS CHARLES E
IPC: B67D7/34
Filed: 2004-01-27
Granted: 2012-06-26
Abstract: A toggle-action dispensing closure (20) for a container is provided for manipulation between a closed, non-dispensing orientation and an open, dispensing orientation. The closure (20) includes an actuator (60) pivotally mounted along a tilting axis (T) on a body (24) secured to the container. The actuator (60) is tiltable by applying force to the actuator (60) on one side of the tilting axis (T) so as to move the actuator (60) from a non-dispensing position to a dispensing position. The actuator (60) includes a flange (64) having an engagable surface (104). The closure body (24) includes an annular wall (26) in which the actuator (60) is received, and the annular wall (26) includes an inwardly projecting interference member (100) which underlies the actuator engagable surface (104) and prevents tilting of the actuator (60) unless a sufficient predetermined, initial opening force is exerted on the actuator (60) to cause permanent, plastic deformation of the engagable surface (104) and/or interference member (100). Thereafter, the actuator (60) can be tilted to the open dispensing position a second or subsequent times in response to subjecting the actuator (60) to a force less than the predetermined, initial opening force.

Granted: 2011-10-18
Abstract: An impeller pump with thermostatically adjustable swirl-vanes, in use as an automotive engine-driven coolant pump. Flow variation is controlled by varying the orientation of the swirl-vanes. A change in orientation is effected by a thermal driver, e.g a wax-type thermostat, which senses coolant temperature.  The swirl-vanes boost the flowrate when the coolant is hot, and decrease it when the coolant cools. The swirl-vanes are mounted for pivoting, and are located just upstream from the pump impeller. The traditional engine-thermostat function is provided inside the pumping-chamber, in that the swirl-vanes can be operated to close off a port to the engine radiator. The thermal driver opens the radiator-port as the coolant goes from Cold to Warm; as the coolant goes from Warm to Hot, the thermal driver operates the swirl-vanes from flow-reduce to flow-boost.

Abstract: A contactless reading system, wherein a chip card is fixed on a planar support of an object such as a book (11) for identification by means of the data contained in the chip card, and a mobile reader (16) provided with an antenna in order to read the data of the card. The antenna of the reader (16) consists of a small-sized convolution disposed in a series with a large-sized convolution, which are concentric and which have the same winding direction. A maximum value is obtained for the component (H) of the electromagnetic field produced by the antenna parallel to the antenna at a given distance from the antenna. Maximum reception by the chip card of electromagnetic signals emitted by the antenna is obtained when the antenna is disposed in a perpendicular position in relation to the support of the card and at the given distance from the card.

Abstract: A combination infrared/convection dryer or oven (10) for drying traveling webs (W). A shutter assembly (8) is provided between the infrared radiation source (16) and the moving web in order to selectively expose the web to infrared radiation. Drying efficiency is optimized by adding heated impinged air at high velocity on the machine direction ends and between the infrared elements. The air being discharged on the web is heated as it is pulled into the inlet of a close coupled supply fan (28) which then discharges the air to the nozzles. A portion of the air is also exhausted at atmosphere to maintain the oven enclosure in a negative pressure state, thus drawing fresh make-up air into the oven housing through the web inlet (12) and outlet (13) slots. Flotation nozzles (151, 152) can be used where contactless support of the running web is desired. Enhanced drying of the web and/or a coating on the web at high speed is achieved without a concomitant increase in dryer length.
