Title: Automated truss assembly jig setting system
Inventor: KOSKOVICH JEROME E
IPC: E04C3/17
Filed: 2008-09-24
Abstract: A method of automatically placing pucks on a truss assembly table includes receiving input regarding a truss to be assembled on the truss assembly table and input regarding the geometry of the truss assembly table and in particular a line representing the full range of travel of each puck based on line representations of the bottom and adjacent side edges of the table to compensate for any inaccuracies in table placement and the table itself. The input is processed, locations on the truss assembly table for each puck are selected, and the pucks are automatically moved to the selected locations on the basis of the processed input. A truss assembly table includes a table, a plurality of puck assemblies mounted for translational movement on the table, and a software system that is operatively connected to the table and that controls the movement of the puck assemblies. The software system chooses whether each puck assembly should be located on a top side, bottom side, or interior of a truss to be assembled on the table in order to provide optimum support for the truss while it is being assembled, and causes each puck to be placed in the chosen location.

Title: Energy dissipation system for child vehicle seat with air releasable chambers
Inventor: MARSDEN ANDREW W
IPC: B60N2/26
Filed: 2008-12-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a child or baby or infant restraint providing improved protection from sudden impacts or crashes. The car-seat restraint comprises a juvenile vehicle seat and impact pads located in the head wings to dissipate energy. The pads comprise two airbags with a predetermined volume or air or gas, each air bag has a port and valve, and a deformable foam support frame.

Patent NZ-600972-A (NZ)
Title: Sliding Door Buffering Devices
Inventor: PROCTOR NIGEL
IPC: E05C17/00
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: 600972 Disclosed is a buffering device with an impact absorber for use with a sliding panel to minimise load forces of a closing or opening sliding door panel impinging adversely on a surrounding frame or other panel within the frame. The buffering device includes an impact absorber having an elongate member with a free end, the elongate member being supported by an operating mechanism whereby the free end of the elongate member is movable between a first retracted position and a second extended position relative to the operating mechanism. The operating mechanism provides a resistance to movement of the free end as the free end moves from the second position to the first position under an externally applied load. The operating mechanism provides a restoring force to restore the elongate member to locate the free end in the second position in the absence of a the externally applied load. The buffering device further includes a latch means to, in use, hold a the sliding panel with the free end of the elongate member substantially in the first retracted position, the latch means preventing the restoring force of the operating mechanism tending to move the free end of the elongate member from the first retracted position to the second extended position.

Title: Optimization of vacuum systems and methods for drying drill cuttings
Inventor: POMERLEAU DANIEL GUY
IPC: B01D33/66
Filed: 2010-03-31
Abstract: An apparatus for improving the separation of drilling fluid from drill cuttings includes a shaker 10 with a shaker screen 12, 16; an air vacuum system 50 and a drilling fluid collection system 13. The shaker screen 12, 16 has an upper side for supporting drilling cuttings contaminated with drilling fluid. The air vacuum system 50 is operatively connected to a section 12 of the shaker screen by a vacuum tube 3 for pulling an effective volume of air through the section of the shaker screen. The drilling fluid collection system 13 collects the separated drilling fluid from the underside of the screen and the air vacuum system 50. The vacuum system 50 includes a vacuum manifold operatively connected to less than 33% of the shaker screen adjacent to the downstream edge 18 of the shaker screen with the remainder of the shaker screen having no vacuum applied. This placement of the vacuum manifold and judicious control of the vacuum applied serves to ensure that the volume of air through the shaker screen is controlled to minimize damage to the drill cuttings whilst enhancing the amount of drilling fluid removed from the drill cuttings and maintaining an effective flow of drill cuttings off the shaker.
