Title: Transmission device specially for a vehicle and control processes thereof
Inventor: ANTONOV ROUMEN
IPC: F16H61/00
Filed: 1994-02-17
Abstract: The transmission device (1b) comprises an epicycloidal train (7) with a crown connected to the input (2ab) and a planetary wheel (9) prevented from turning in a reverse direction by an idler wheel (16). A satellite carrier (13) is connected to the output shaft (2bc). A crown (8) and the satellite carrier (13) may be coupled by means of a clutch (18b) actuated for engagement by means of fly-weights (29) and a spring (34) to achieve a direct drive. If the engagement is sufficient for the torque to be transmitted, the planetary wheel (9) has its speed reduced and is finally immobilized by means of the idler wheel (16). The device operates then as a reduction unit, and an axial thrust (Pac) due to helical teeth occurs and disengages the clutch. It is also possible to operate the device as a reduction unit by means of a piston (44) which pushes the race (20) in the direction of disengagement of the clutch (18b) and applies a brake (43) which prevents any rotation of the planetary wheel (9), even in the direction normally permitted by the idler wheel (16). Utilization for the selective operation of the transmission device as a reduction unit when the vehicle engine operates in a retaining mode.

Title: Automatically retractable radio antennas for automotive vehicles
Inventor: DOOLITTLE WILLIAM W III
IPC: H01Q1/10
Filed: 1995-12-14
Abstract: Automotive vehicles equipped with automatic or standard transmissions and having automatically extending and retracting radio antennas are equipped with an arrangement for automatically retracting the antennas upon shifting from drive to neutral.  Many car washes are equipped with endless belts or chains which engage and tow automotive vehicles through car washes.  Before being towed, the drivers must shift to neutral.  Drivers are also advised to lower radio antennas.  By causing automatic lowering of radio antennas upon shifting from drive to neutral, drivers need no longer remember to retract their antennas.  In order to have the arrangement operate effectively, there is about a 10 second delay in retracting the antennas upon shifting to neutral and extension immediately upon shifting out of neutral.  An over-ride is provided should the driver for one reason or another desire to leave the transmission in neutral for a period of time greater than 10 seconds.

IPC: B65G47/244
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: A product aligning system specially adapted for receiving and aligning product items in bulk quantity, includes a hopper for receiving masses of product items in bulk and including a hopper conveyor extending across the bottom of thehopper, a hopper nose conveyor for receiving product items conveyed by the hopper conveyor and extending outwardly from the hopper, and a scale conveyor for receiving items from the hopper nose conveyor. The hopper nose conveyor and scale conveyor each include powered rakes positioned above the item supporting surfaces of those conveyors such that substantially only a single layer of itemspasses therebeneath. The hopper nose and scale conveyors each include load sensing apparatus which detects an accumulation of product items on those conveyors and signals a computer control which slows the speeds of the hopper and hopper nose conveyors sufficiently to allow the accumulation of products to reduce. The system also includes a product orienting component which includes an array of V-shaped belts positioned in alternating relation with an array of O-ring belts. The 0-ring belts are driven at a slower speed than the V-shaped belts, and further, are driven at varying speeds, so that individual product items which bridge between adjacent O-ring belts, or between a V-shaped belt and an adjacent O-ring belt, are rotated as a result of the speed differential to lay substantially in alignment with the V-shaped product supporting belts. Powered rakes are positioned above the V-shaped belts so that substantially only a single layer of aligned product is conveyed from the downstream ends of the belts.

Patent CA-2174270-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for providing submarine cable joint protection and insulation using heat shrink tubing
Inventor: FAUST MICHAEL ALLEN
IPC: H01R13/523
Filed: 1996-04-16
Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide substantial protection and insulation to the submarine cable joints.  It is a further object of the invention to provide such protection and insulation in an efficient manner without utilizing  costly molding and x-ray equipment. These and other objects are satisfied, in accordance with the invention, by a novel article of manufacture having at least two hollow elements that are formed from a heat shrinkable material.  The heat shrinkable material has an expanded state and an unexpanded state.  Upon the application of heat, the heat shrinkable material in the expanded state shrinks such that it substantially returns to the unexpanded state.  At least one of the elements forming the article is in the unexpanded state while other elements are in the expanded state.  The hollow elements are coupled to constitute an integrally-formed single unit having a continuous passageway therethrough.   Theunexpanded element is intended to be positioned against a locating portion of a device to be insulated and protected, as with a jointbox and cable segments, so as to locate portions of the device within the passageway in a predetermined position such that said unexpanded first element and the locating portion undergo insubstantial relativemovement as the article is subsequently heated.  Advantageously, such an articledescribed above facilitates its installation as a protective covering, for example, to cable joints, because the insubstantial relative movement between the unexpandedelement and the locating portion allows proper alignment of the article and device to be maintained even as the expanded elements of the covering shrink and move relative to device during the heating step. In an illustrative example of the invention, the article is formed by from heat shrinkable polyolefin tubes which are arranged as an expanded first substantially cylindrical portion, an expanded second substantially cylindrical portion having a relatively smaller diameter than the first portion, and an unexpanded conical transition portion which couples the first and second portions. The unexpanded conical transition portion functions to precisely locate the article against a similarly shaped termination socket portion of the jointbox.  An adhesive is applied to portions of the inside surfaces of the article.
