Title: Bicycle and the like with chain transmission, multiple gears and pedal unit placed on the outside of the rear wheel
Inventor: FARINA ERNESTO
IPC: B62K3/00
Filed: 1997-08-14
Granted: 2001-03-29
Abstract: Bicycle and the like with multiple gears (14), chain transmission (6) and axis of the cranks (16) of the pedal unit (1) placed on the outside of the rear wheel, inside the upper arc bounded by A and B symbols, new pedalling system optimising the relationship between the means of transport and its user. The cyclist's position is prone (fig.1), a condition possible thanks to the body supporting "balancer" (8, 9) (fig.4); it allows an optimal weight distribution and cardio-vascular, respiratory and muscular optimisation, which leads to a maximum energy output. The advantageous aspects are: maximum aerodynamic penetration due to the driver's prone position; maximum exploitation of muscular output due to the antigravitational rotation of thighs; better venous and lymphatic circulation thanks to lower abdominal pressure; better cardio-respiratory function, due to easier venous circulation; maximum protection of the spine by supporting the rachis; minimum perineum shock thanks to the saddle (11) supporting the gluteus; maximum stability of the vehicle thanks to ground-hub pedal block-system; reduced weight of the rotating parts thanks to the compactness of the mechanism of transmission.
Patent AU-575396-B2 (AU)
Title: Ground speed sensor
Inventor: PHELAN JAMES JOSEPH
IPC: G01S13/60
Filed: 1985-05-09
Granted: 1988-07-28
Abstract: The sensor comprises an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver and a processing circuit in which a phase-locked loop tracks the received frequency in order to indicate the speed of a vehicle over the ground. A circuit (18) provides an attenuated and phase-shifted replica of the transmitted signal. This is combined in a circuit (20) with the received signal (14) to cancel out a cross-talk component in the received signal. A low pass filter (26) and squaring circuit (28) provide a signal (30) for the phase locked loop which is substantially pure at the reflected and received signal frequency. It is therefore possible to compare this with a reference frequency corresponding to zero speed to provide an output signal with sign and magnitude indicating respectively the direction (forwards or reverse) and speed of movement of the vehicle.

Title: Mobile radiotelephone having asymmetric radiation pattern
Inventor: MAGGIO CLAUDIO
IPC: H01Q1/24
Filed: 1993-09-03
Granted: 1996-05-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable transceiver apparatus, in particular a radiomobile telephone set, with low irradiation of the user, comprising a handset and an antenna, having an asymmetric radiation pattern, applied to said handset. Since such apparatuses, when in use, are placed alongside the user's head, a great amount of electromagnetic waves pass through it, in particular with the continuous increase in the transmission frequency and the consequent decrease in the dimension of the antenna the irradiation of the user's head is and will become a serious problem. The aim of the invention is to provide a portable transceiver apparatus so as to minimize the irradiation of its user. By using an antenna having an asymmetric irradiation pattern such as to be extremely limited in the directions of the user's head, a greatly reduced irradiation can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Title: Printer cartridge including machine readable ink
Inventor: SILVERBROOK KIA
IPC: G06F3/03
Filed: 2000-05-24
Granted: 2004-11-11
Abstract: A system for capturing an electronic message is disclosed. The system includes a printer, a sensing device and a computer system. The printer prints on a substrate user information visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user. Each coded tag encodes an identity unique to the substrate and a location of the coded tag on the substrate. The user information defines a message area on the substrate. The sensing device senses the coded tags on the substrate when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate. The computer system electronically captures a message composed with the sensing device via movement of the sensing device relative to the message area, the computer system using the identity of the substrate and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device for determining the movement relative to the message area and the message.

Title: Method and apparatus for producing a welded joint in thermoplastic strap with differential pressure
Inventor: KOBIELLA ROBERT J
IPC: B29C65/06
Filed: 1993-09-30
Granted: 1994-11-03
Abstract: The appts. (30) comprises essentially an anvil (32) and an opposed strap engaging member (80), with serrated faces (34, 112) through which the strap (U,L) passes. Anvil (32) has positioner that allows it to squeeze strap (U,L) against member (80) and plunger (92) at a first position, against plunger (92) only at a second position, and to disengage wholly at a third position. Strap engaging member (80) has a coaxial spring-loaded plunger (92) and is mounted on bearings (60) in cavity (54) of drive shaft (46), which itself is mounted on bearings (44) in bore (42) of support frame (40). The axis (58) of member (80) is offset (X) from the axis (48) of drive shaft (46), so rotation of the drive shaft confers an orbital motion to member (80). When the motion is applied to strap (U,L) clamped between anvil (32) and member (80), it creates friction between the strip faces and forms a friction weld conventionally. When anvil (32) is moved to the second position, the orbital motion is disengaged and smooth-faced plunger (92) maintains pressure on strap (U,L) while the weld cools.

Granted: 1998-12-24
Abstract: The module includes a pair of circuit branches (40,50). Circuit branch (40) is used to generate a pilot arc between the electrode and a nozzle of the torch (20). The circuit branch (50) is used to generate an operation arc between the electrode and nozzle. The circuit branch (50) is provided with a current sensor. When the current detected in the branch (50) exceeds a predetermined level, a switch is activated to switch to branch (40). A detection circuit outputs two signals representing value of existing current and target current to be achieved, respectively. A comparator circuit compares the two signals. Based on comparison result, current value in branch (40) is adjusted. When the current detected in the branch is above a threshold value but below the target value, the value of DC current from power supply is increased using output of a wave formation circuit.
