Inventor: EPWORTH LARRY NORMAN
IPC: B60P1/64
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: For use with vehicles like flat bed trucks and pick-ups, a mechanism is provided for easily and reliably stowing and deploying a container of the kind used to carry bulk materials, or vehicles like snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles. A lower jib is pivotally connected to the truck platform and can swing about the pivot location between a first position in which it extends forwardly and a second position in which it extends generally upwardly from the first location. An upper jib is pivotally connected at one end to an intermediate location on the lower jib, and is pivotally connected at the other end to a part of the container by which the container can be raised. A first cylinder causes the lower jib to swing between its first and second positions, while a second cylinder causes the upper jib to pivot about the intermediate location. At the rear of the platform there are idler roller means for guiding the bottom deck of the container. The rearward end of the container supports wheels allowing the rearward end to run along a supporting surface.

Title: Method and apparatus for forming hologram
Inventor: HORIMAI HIDEYOSHI
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: The invention makes it possible to form a hologram for reproducing a three-dimensional image easily free of limitations placed by the size of the three-dimensional image to be reproduced, the size of the hologram and reference light for reproduction.      A controller calculates a three-dimensional interference pattern for generating reproduction light associated with a desired three-dimensional image when a recording medium (1) is illuminated with reference light for reproduction, divides the three-dimensional interference pattern into partial interference patterns and calculates reference light and information light for recording for each of the partial interference patterns. A final hologram is formed by illuminating the recording medium (1) with reference light and information light for recording using a head (10) while changing the relative positional relationship between the recording medium (1) and the head (10) by moving the head (10) with a VCM (13) while transporting the recording medium (1).

Title: Electronically commutated motor
Inventor: JESKE FRANK
IPC: H02P6/14
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: An electronically commutated motor comprising a stator and a rotor. The inventive motor also has at least two stator phase windings ( 112, 114), whereby each winding can be activated by means of an associated power transistor (126, 128) and said windings are controlled in push-pull mode by rotor position signals (OUT1, OUT2) according to the position of the rotor (116). The signals are transmitted to the bases of the power transistors via a resistance (150, 156). A discharge resistance (160) provided for the base of a first power transistor (124) is connected in series to a first interlocking transistor (172). A discharge resistance (170) connected in series to a second interlocking transistor (172) is provided for the base of the other power transistor (128).      The first interlocking transistor (162) can be controlled at least by the base signal of the second power transistor (128).      The second interlocking transistor (172) can be controlled at least by the base signal of the first power transistor (124). This prevents the two power transistors (124, 128) from becoming simultaneously conductive during commutation and makes it possible to control the commutation process by activating or deactivating the base discharge resistances (160, 170).

Title: Apparatus and method for preparing a lateral pipe and the junction of the lateral with a main sewer line
Inventor: KIEST LARRY W JR
IPC: F16L55/179
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: An apparatus and method for repairing the junction of a sewer main line and a lateral pipe includes a generally T-shaped flexible translucent urethane inflatable bladder (12) having a main line portion (20) and a lateral portion (16). The lateral portion (16) is inverted through the main line portion (20) and extends out one end thereof. A liner assembly of resin absorbent material is formed, with a tubular lateral liner (16) connected to a flat sheet main liner (14), at a central opening (18) in the flat sheet liner (7). Each liner is coated with a polymer coating, for an airtight seal, and a polymer tape is welded to the polymer coating on the lateral liner (16) and the junction of the lateral liner and flat sheet, to form airtight seals. The liner assembly is then installed in the bladder assembly, by threading the lateral liner into the lateral bladder until the flat sheet contacts the main line bladder. The lateral liner (16) is then impregnated with uncured resin and the liner/bladder assembly is installed on launcher. The flat sheet (14) liner is also impregnated with uncured resin, and the launcher is then inserted in a sewer main line and aligned with a lateral pipe to be repaired. The lateral bladder (16) is inflated to revert the bladder upwardly into the lateral pipe forcing the liner assembly into contact with the lateral pipe, the main line sewer pipe, and the junction thereof. Once the resin is cured, the bladder assembly and launcher are removed from the sewer pipe.
