Title: Smoke Detector System with Self-Diagnostic Capabilities and Replaceable Smoke Intake Canopy
Inventor: BERNAL BRIAN ANDREW
IPC: G08B29/14
Filed: 1994-08-17
Abstract: A self-contained smoke detector system has internal self-diagnostic capabilities and accepts a replacement smoke intake canopy (14) without a need for recalibration. The system includes a microprocessor-based self-diagnostic circuit (200) that periodically checks sensitivity of the optical sensor electronics (24, 28) to smoke obscuration level. By setting tolerance limits on the amount of change in voltage measured in clean air, the system can provide an indication of when it has become either under-sensitive or over-sensitive to the ambient smoke obscuration level. An algorithm implemented in software stored in system memory (204) determines whether and provides an indication that for a time (such as 27 hours) the clean air voltage has strayed outside established sensitivity tolerance limits. The replaceable canopy is specially designed with multiple pegs (80) having multi-faceted surfaces (110, 112, 114). The pegs are angularly spaced about the periphery in the interior of the canopy to function as an optical block for external light infiltrating through the porous side surface (64) of the canopy and to minimize spurious light reflections from the interior of the smoke detector system housing (10) toward a light sensor photodiode (28). The pegs are positioned and designed also to form a labyrinth of passageways (116) that permit smoke to flow freely through the interior of the housing.

Patent CA-2192926-A1 (CA)
Title: Servo plunger mechanism
Inventor: LEIDY D WAYNE
IPC: C03B11/16
Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: A plunger mechanism for forming a hollow article of glass in a "narrow neck press and blow" operation which utilizes an electro servo-driven leadscrew to actuate it.  A position sensing resolver is used to determine the position of the plunger over the full range of its stroke, and the position information can be used as feedback to control the position of the plunger prior to contacting a molten gob of glass in a mold chamber.  The depth of the plunger penetration into the molten gob is then controlled by the pressing pressure, which is a function of motor torque and screw mechanics.  It is possible to control the pressure exerted on the molten glass gob by controlling the torque applied by the motor.  A separate gob weight controller is not required because changes in gob weight can be determined by closely monitoring the plunger penetration of the gob.

Title: Water saving device for a water closet
Inventor: DE MARCO PETER V
IPC: E03D1/14
Filed: 1997-04-04
Abstract: An adjustable valve to control the amount of water flowing through the refill water hose to the overflow tube and into the water closet bowl. The valve is a dual component device including a housing structure and a lever component. Both the housing structure and lever component have a trunk section of similar shape, but of different size. The trunk section of the lever component fits snugly within the trunk section of the housing structure. The lever component is able to rotate within the housing structure. The trunk sections in both the housing structure and the lever component include openings which provide a passageway for water to flow therethrough. The openings in the housing structure are spherically shaped and the openings in the lever component are pear-shaped. The housing structure includes a pair of tabs disposed 90° from one another for limiting the rotation of the lever component such that the openings in both the housing structure and lever component are always aligned. As the lever component is rotated within the housing structure, the flow of water is varied. The water flow becomes more restricted as the lever component is rotated from one tab to the other, but is never completely obstructed.

Title: Counterweight handling system for ring-supported cranes
Inventor: PETZOLD TERRY L
IPC: B66C23/74
Filed: 1997-10-07
Abstract: A ring-supported lift crane is provided with a counterweight handling system to facilitate repositioning of the crane. The ring-supported crane includes a ring, a crane upper works and a crane lower works, a boom supported on rollers on the ring and a counterweight assembly also supported on rollers on the ring. The counterweight assembly preferably includes a counterweight carrier on which at least one stack of counterweight boxes or units are placed. A counterweight holder is interposed between the at least one stack of counterweight units and the counterweight carrier with a friction reduction device, such as rollers or slider pads, interposed between the counterweight holder and the counterweight carrier. When the ring-supported crane is to be repositioned for a second lift at a construction site, the counterweight holder with the stack of counterweight units is moved off of the counterweight carrier onto a separate counterweight support member, which may be mobile or stationary. This speeds up the relocation process, as the counterweight units do not have to be individually unstacked before the ring and crane can be moved.
