Patent EP-1233142-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMSON JIMMIE ROBERT
IPC: F16L7/00
Filed: 1995-08-24
Abstract: A downhole diverter (130) is decentralized by
sliding first (116) and second (118) coaxial tubes
relatively, one tube (118) having a conical ramp (115)
thereon and the other (116) having a shoulder (119) thereon
and a decentralizing ring (112,114) between the shoulder
(119) and the ramp (115) so that, as the ring is urged by
the shoulder (119) onto the ramp (115), it expands
eccentrically to decentralize the two tubes, thereby
decentralizing the diverter (130) to which they are
attached. A centralizing guide, and a downhole deployable
locating and orienting sub-system are also described.

Abstract: A turbo decoder extrinsic calculation block includes an adder
constructed to operate on two's complement numbers having two more
than the predetermined number of bits. An alpha circle boundary
detector generates an alpha circle boundary cross signal indicating
whether the two's complement format of any alpha metric input is
either a two's complement positive number (FOUND POSITIVE) or a
two's complement negative number in a most negative quadrant (FOUND
BIG-MEGATIVE). Each of a plurality of alpha metrics precision
extend blocks (1110, 1120, 1130, 1140, 1150, 1160, 1170, 1180)
receives the alpha circle boundary cross signal and a most
significant bit of a corresponding alpha metric input (ALPHA[X] [7])
and generates a two bit precision extension (ALPHA[X] [9],
ALPHA[X][8]) for the corresponding alpha metric input. Similar
hardware operates on beta metrics. An extrinsics block receives
the precision extended alpha and beta metrics inputs.

Abstract: A strap buckle (24), particularly for use in a snowshoe binding, operates somewhat as a
cam lock buckle but instead of exhibiting pinching force on the strap which increases
with increased back-pulling force, the buckle's spring loaded lever (38) engages a nipple
or protrusion (48) more deeply into a hole (40) in the hole-punched strap (26) as back-pulling
force increases. The buckle lever (3 8) has a strong downward bend, so that a front
end (55) of the lever tucks the strap tail (26 b ) against the user's boot (14) and aids in the
releasing of the lever (38) from the strap (26).

Patent EP-1320185-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MORRIS ANDREW R
IPC: H02P7/29
Filed: 2002-12-10
Abstract: A motor control technique, which may be implemented in a motor drive unit of a sheet
material dispenser, permits precise control of motor operation amounts within short intervals
("bursts") of motor operation. The technique marries "bang-bang" motor speed control with
a variable power motor drive system, e.g., a pulse width modulation (PWM). Motor speed is
sensed by turning the motor off and waiting for the resulting inductive kick to die out. Then,
a voltage threshold detector detects whether the back electromotive force (BEMF) of the
motor is above a threshold corresponding to a motor speed setting. A PWM drive is
preferably set up to have a predetermined number of power levels, e.g., nine. The motor
speed is repeatedly sampled and if the speed sensing voltage is above the threshold, the PWM
is brought down to the next lower power level. If the speed sensing voltage is below the
threshold, the PWM is brought up to the next higher power level. So configured, the system
"bangs" up and down between adjacent power levels, instead of between zero and maximum
power. Adjustments in the duration of a motor operation cycle are made in conjunction with
the power level adjustments, to compensate for any power level adjustment that is not
averaged out within the motor operation cycle. As a result, motor operation amounts may be
closely controlled. Motor operation is far smoother and wasted power is reduced as
compared to a conventional "bang-bang" system. Response times may be substantially
improved relative to known feedback control systems, such as PID control, and the need for
external speed monitoring transducers (i.e., "pick-off" devices) is eliminated.

Abstract: A method for feeding sheet materials is disclosed, which
is implemented by forwarding a plurality of sheet materials (2)
loaded on a loading plate (1) with a rotating feeding roller (4) toward
a separation unit, for the leading edge of the sheet materials (2)
to be collided with a tapered face (6a) of taper member (6), and
subsequently separating the uppermost (2a) of the loaded sheet
materials (2) through frictional force from the feeding roller (4)
after climbing over the taper member (6) to be forwarded further
to an image forming unit by way of a nip forming portion (N), while
other underlying sheet materials are halted by the taper member (6)
owning to smaller frictional forces there between, thereby
obviating the multiple feeding. In addition, the conditions
suitable for sheet feeding can be satisfied for various sheet
materials different in size and thickness by adjusting the
distance between the point of contact (X) of the uppermost sheet
material (2a) with the feeding roller (4) and that of nip formation (N),
such that modulus values are equated to various sheet materials.
As a result, considerably high sheet separation qualities are
obtained obviating undue non-feeding or multiple feeding, and
various kinds of sheet materials different in size, thickness
and coefficient of friction, can be forwarded sheet by sheet
securely to image forming unit, thereby achieving satisfactory
image formation by means of image forming apparatuses
incorporating the sheet feeding apparatuses disclosed herein.
