Patent CA-2271402-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOIVIN DENIS
IPC: B60G17/00
Filed: 1999-05-10
Abstract: A suspension assembly for mounting an endless track to a chassis of a snowmobile, the suspension assembly having a pair of pivoting arms centrally mounted to the slide members, or rails, and a weight transfer dynamic compensator capable of compensating for the weight transfer of the snowmobile when the track is pulling on the chassis. The weight transfer dynamic compensator prevents the chassis from rotating excessively with respect to the slide rails during rapid acceleration. Such a rotation of the chassis is detrimental to rider comfort and stability. The suspension assembly is coupled such the rails remain somewhat parallel to the chassis when encountering a bump at either the front of the rails or at the rear of the rails, also enhancing rider comfort and stability. The suspension assembly is coupled by virtue of a limited-translation slide bar at the rear of the suspension assembly and a tension-only member, or pulling belt, located at the front of the suspension assembly. The suspension assembly having the weight transfer dynamic compensator improves the cornering of the snowmobile by ensuring that there is ample weight on the front skis, especially when accelerating out of a turn.

Abstract: A system and method of diagnosing and controlling electric machines such as engines is provided. The presence of an instability in a physical characteristic of the device is diagnosed by providing a digital input signal representative of the physical characteristic to a computer system. A wavelet transform is performed on the digital input signal to provide a set of wavelet coefficients, and at least a first probabilistic measure is determined with respect to the coefficients. Preferably, more than one probabilistic measure of the wavelet coefficients are determined and used to identify the precursor. The probabilistic measures may be dispersion or other measures provided by a high rank correlation matrix.      The probabilistic measure(s), and possibly other supplemental device related information, are analyzed to identify a precursor associated with the instability. By identifying the precursor prior to the development of a malfunction in the device, a command execution unit may be used to control the device, in accordance with an instability control approach, to avert the development of a malfunction. The system and method may be applied to devices in real time under time varying, as well as stable or unstable, operating conditions.

Abstract: An adhesive binder for bonding together lignocellulosic particles, fibers and flakes of vegetable origin to form particle boards, fiber boards, flake boards and similar wood-based products, comprising a solubilized fraction obtained by enzymatic treatment of fibrous, lignocellulosic raw materials. The present binder can be obtained by treating fibrous lignocellulosic raw material with a hydrolytic enzyme in an aqueous medium, recovering the solubilized material of the enzymatic treatment, forming an aqueous suspension containing said material and an oxidase, and oxidizing said material in the presence of said oxidase by introducing oxygen-containing gas into the suspension. This method thus produces an increased amount of a water-soluble fraction containing carbohydrates, extractives and lignin useful as an adhesive binder.

Title: Apparatus and method for nucleation and deposition of diamond using hot-filament dc plasma
Inventor: SUN BIWU
IPC: C30B25/02
Filed: 1998-07-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for nucleation and growth of diamond by hot-filament DC plasma deposition. The apparatus uses a resistively heated filament array for dissociating hydrogen in the reactant gas. For two sided diamond growth, configurations of substrate-hot filament-grid-hot filament-substrate or substrate-hot filament-hot filament-substrate configuration are used. For the latter configuration, two independent arrays of filaments serve as both hot filament and grid, and AC or DC plasma is maintained between the filament arrays.  For this and the other electrode configurations, the grid electrode is positively biased with respect to the hot filaments to maintain a plasma. The plasma potential gradient across the grid and the hot-filament draws ions from the plasma towards the filaments. To further increase deposition rates, the filament array is biased negatively with respect to the substrate holder so that a DC plasma is also maintained between the substrate and filament array. During nucleation, the filament adjacent to the substrate holder is biased positively relative to the substrate so that more ions are accelerated towards the substrate, which in turn enhances the flow of growth precursors towards the substrate resulting in a high diamond nucleation density on the substrate without the need for scratching or diamond-seeding pretreatment. This nucleation method simplifies the growth process and provides a convenient and economical means for heteroepitaxial growth of diamond nuclei on single crystal substrates like Si (100).

Title: Infrared transceiver with isolated analog output
Inventor: FENG KAI D
IPC: H04B10/40
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: An IR transceiver having a receiver chain with an isolated analog output, provides a transmission gate and unity gain buffer interposed between the amplifier output and an analog output pad. The transmission gate behaves as a switch, passing the analog output signal to the analog output pad only when an analog output is required. The unity gain buffer has a high input resistance, a low input capacitance, a unit gain and a low output impedance, so that the load of a DSP device or measuring instrument on the analog output pad is isolated and does not affect the performance of the receiver chain. Since the transfer rates of the transmission gate and the buffer are each a unity, the analog output pad provides a high fidelity analog output signal to the output buffer.
