Abstract: A new and improved toggle-bolt type fastener has pocket structure effectively incorporated therein so as to accommodate extra-long threaded activation screws or bolt fasteners in a coaxial manner within the toggle-bolt type fastener. Alternatively, structure has been incorporated within the toggle-bolt type fastener which effectively accommodates extra-long threaded activation screws or bolt fasteners by causing the same to be slightly deflected from their coaxial disposition within the toggle-bolt type fastener so as to permit the same to bypass the stab point of the toggle-bolt type fastener. Still further, additional structure has also been incorporated within the toggle-bolt type fastener for ensuring the fact that when the nut member is moved from its first or original, axially oriented, inoperative or non-deployed position, to its second, transversely oriented, operative or deployed position, the nut member will in fact be disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the toggle-bolt type fastener so as to, in turn, ensure the proper threaded engagement thereby by the threaded activation screw or bolt fastener.

Title: Power line network bridge
Inventor: IWAMURA RYUICHI
IPC: H04L5/16
Filed: 2006-01-13
Abstract: A power line communication (PLC) bridge circuit consistent with certain embodiments has a first coupler that couples data signals to and from the first power line circuit and a second coupler that couples data signals to and from the second power line circuit. The first and second power line circuits are fed AC power from separate legs of a distribution transformer, and share a single neutral connection. A first communication transceiver is connected to the first coupler for transferring data signals to and from the first coupler.  A second communication transceiver is connected to the second coupler for transferring data signals to and from the second coupler. A controller examines data signals from the first transceiver and determines if the data is destined for the second transceiver, wherein data that is not destined for the second transceiver is considered local data. The controller further examines data signals from the second transceiver and determines if the data is destined for the first . transceiver, wherein data that is not destined for the first transceiver is also considered local data. A bridge circuit passes data signals between the first communication transceiver and the second transceiver when the controller determines that the data is not local, and does not pass data signals between the first communication transceiver and the second communication transceiver when the controller determines that the data is local. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for tracking the sweet spots of a sweet spot unit for a transmissive electronic display. The aim of the invention is to improve the reproduction quality and the uniformity of illumination in displays of this type. The display contains a sweet spot unit consisting of an illumination matrix (1) and reproduction elements, in addition to an image matrix (4). Once the position of at least one observer's eye (6) has been determined by a control unit using inverse ray tracing, address data for activating illumination elements (LE) of the illumination matrix (1) is provided from the position data in order to prepare the defined sweet spots (5) for said observer's eye (6). To improve the reproduction quality, an additional optical component is used in the ray path for the inverse ray tracing process. In addition to the viewing angle (.alpha.) of the observer, the control unit detects and takes into consideration a defined angle (.theta.) of a scattering or diffractive element in a predetermined angular range. This permits additional address data to be activated for the illumination elements (LE) and the defined sweet spot (5) can be illuminated in a uniform manner.

Patent CA-2602439-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEINS THANE C
IPC: H02K1/12
Filed: 2007-09-21
Abstract: This invention provides a means of eliminating electric generator induced back EMF in the air gap between the rotating magnetic field and the generator coils thus eliminating the effects of Lenz's Law in an generator. The Toroid Generator Coil consists of two separate coils of wire set on a single toroid core. When the generator coils deliver current to a load the subsequent coil induced back EMF cannot enter the air gap as per a conventional generator because the toriod core presents a lower reluctance flux path than the surrounding air. Instead the secondary coil's induced back EMF follows the path of least reluctance into the adjacent secondary coil and vice versa.

Abstract: An adjustable coil spring system placed within a leg of a vehicle such as a mountain bicycle fork. The spring system comprises an adjustable first soft spring seated on top of a second firm spring having greater length than the first soft spring. A coupler assembly is positioned between two springs comprised of a threaded bolt threadedly received within a coupler. A spring adjustment means may comprise a knob connected to the threaded bolt through a non-round shaped shaft, wherein the threaded bolt is disposed within the first soft spring. As the knob rotates, the coupler is moved up along the threaded bolt, decreasing the length of the first soft spring, thereby increasing firm spring characteristics of the spring system. As the knob rotates in an opposite direction, the coupler moves down, increasing the length of the first soft spring, thereby increasing soft spring characteristics of the spring system.

Title: Expandable flow control device
Inventor: HENRIKSEN KNUT
IPC: E21B43/08
Filed: 2006-06-01
Abstract: The invention involves the use of a base pipe perforated only in a specific section under each screen section. Inflow comes through an outer shroud that is optional and goes through the screen material and into an annular space between the screen material and the imperforated base pipe. After traveling longitudinally in that annular space, the flow must go through a restriction that preferably comprises a porous media in a passage defined outside the still imperforated base pipe. After passing through the porous media in a particular screen section, the flow can pass through openings in the base pipe. A surrounding ring preferably protects the porous media during run in and expansion and can also optionally create additional resistance to flow to work in tandem with the porous media. Other flow restricting techniques in place of the porous media are contemplated.
