Granted: 2009-07-29
Abstract: An additive dispensing apparatus for a fluid system is disclosed which includes a head having a body portion adapted and configured for fluid communication with the fluid system and having a flow path extending therethrough. A fluid inlet portion of the flow path defines a relatively high pressure region and a fluid outlet portion of the flow path defines a relatively low pressure region. A canister is operatively associated with the body portion and structure is provided for facilitating fluid communication between the fluid inlet portion and the interior of the canister. A collapsible container is disposed within the canister for containing a liquid additive for dispensement into the fluid system and structure is provided for facilitating fluid communication between the collapsible container and the fluid outlet portion, whereby the differential pressure between the interior of the canister and the interior of the collapsible container effectuates a proportional dispensement of liquid additive into the fluid system.

IPC: B62H7/00
Filed: 1996-07-30
Granted: 2006-05-24
Abstract: This invention is a side wheel attachment for removably attaching an auxiliary side wheel to a bicycle. The side wheel attachment comprises a single structural rod which is folded in the desired shape, i.e. forms a helical torsion spring. In natural unbiased condition, the first and second ends of the spring rod extend generally perpendicularly to one another. The first end of the spring is inversely U-shaped and tangentially engages by its web the rear axle of the bicycle where it can be fixed after adjusting its vertical position relative to the bicycle. The second end of the spring rod is rotatably engaged by the auxiliary side wheel, therefore acting as its axle. Both ends can angularly move relative to one another due to the helical spring. Therefore, in use, both auxiliary side wheels (installed on one side and the other of the rear bicycle wheel) and the rear bicycle wheel loaded by a bicycle rider, always stay in contact with the ground so as to accomplish their respective tasks. The novelty of this invention resides in the structural simplicity of the side wheel attachment which is, as previously stated, constructed from a single structural rod.

Abstract: Improved scanning methods for use in a scanning particle beam microscop reduce the effects of surface charge accumulation, increasing linearity and precision. More particularly, signal distortion is reduced by scanning across an object along a line in a first direction to produce a first signal, scanning across the object along the identical line in an opposite, anti-parallel, direction to produce a second signal, and combining the first and second signals. This technique is referred to as scan reversal. Baseline drift is substantially canceled out of the resulting signal. According to another technique imaging of a general circular high-aspect-ratio structure is enhanced by identifying approximately the center of the structure, electrostatically scanning a particle beam along a multiplicity of radii of the structure, detecting particles emitted from the surface of the structure being examined to generate a detection signal, and using the detection signal to form an enhanced image of the generally circular high-aspect-ratio structure. This technique is referred to as radial scanning. According to a further technique, the effects of surface charging are reduced by identifying features of an object in a low magnification image and scanning a particle beam across the object discontinuously, only in portions of an image field containing the features of interest. The "background" of the image field is therefore not charged, improving imaging of the features of interest. This technique is referred to as structured scanning.

Title: A method of and apparatus for metering electricity
Inventor: THOMAS L BEAN
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2015-06-30
Abstract: An electricity metering and automatic payment method comprises the steps of prepaying a credit amount against a customer's account with an electricity utility, monitoring the usage of electricity by the customer and reducing the credit balance on the customer's account in proportion to the usage of the electricity. An alert is sent to an account management service when the credit reduces to a pre-set low threshold. The customer's account is topped up by a fixed credit amount to restore the credit amount in the customer's account with an electricity utility on receiving the necessary funds through a customer's debit or credit card with a financial institution. A message is then sent to the customer to advise them of the successful topping up of the customer's account with the electricity utility. An apparatus is also provided which implements the above steps. <Figure 1>
