| 20110011163 | METHOD FOR TESTING A MECHANICAL INTEGRITY OF AN INSULATING LAYER COVERING A CONDUCTOR IN A CABLE - A method for testing a mechanical integrity of an insulating layer covering a conductor in a cable, a longitudinal void being defined inside the insulating layer in a region of the conductor. A first end of the insulating layer is blocked. A compressed gas is injected at a second end of the insulating layer so that the gas enters and travels the longitudinal void inside the insulating layer towards the first end. A gas pressure inside the insulating layer is measured at least near the second end. Injection of the compressed gas is stropped after a predetermined injection time period. A variation of the gas pressure inside the insulating layer is monitored during a diagnostic time window succeeding to a transitional time period following the stopping of the injection. Integrity of the insulating layer is determined based on the variation of the gas pressure during the diagnostic time window. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100152911 | BATHING SYSTEM CONTROLLER HAVING ABNORMAL OPERATIONAL CONDITION IDENTIFICATION CAPABILITIES - A controller suitable for identifying an abnormal operational condition in a bathing system is provided. The controller includes a memory unit adapted for storing measurements indicative of electrical currents drawn by the bathing system under normal operating conditions, each measurement being indicative of the electrical current being drawn by a respective bathing unit component in the bathing system. The controller also includes a processing unit for modifying the measurements stored in the memory unit and for detecting an abnormal operational condition associated with the bathing system at least in part on the basis of measurements stored on the memory unit. In specific implementations, sensing circuitry adapted for obtaining measurements associated to components, such as relays and fuses, is provided. This sensing circuitry allows identify components on the controller, such as relays and fuses for example, and bathing unit components in the bathing system as potential causes of an abnormal operational condition associated with the bathing system. | 06-17-2010 |

The hybrid vehicle has a control shaft operatively coupled to a steering device, a first steering member operatively coupled to the first directional system, a second steering member operatively coupled to the second directional system and a shaft coupler capable of selectively coupling the control shaft to either one of the first and second steering members. The hybrid vehicle may be steered by controlling the steering device notwithstanding which one of the first and second driving mode it is in. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100012398 | HYBRID VEHICLE - The hybrid vehicle kit comprises a vehicle body capable of being interchangeably coupled to either one of a wheel kit thus forming a hybrid vehicle in a wheel mode, the wheel kit having a number of ground-engaging wheels; and a track kit, thus forming the hybrid vehicle in a track mode, the track kit having a pair of ground-engaging tracks carried by track wheels. The vehicle has a pair of powered driving hydraulic pumps and a number of wheel drives powered by a corresponding one of the driving hydraulic pumps. In the wheel mode the ground-engaging wheels are operatively mounted to corresponding wheel drives and an electronic circuit calculates hydraulic rate data on the basis of speed data to control the first and second driving hydraulic pumps so that they will administer a hydraulic rate to the wheel drives which is representative of the hydraulic rate data to control the rotational speed of the ground-engaging wheels which will propel the hybrid vehicle. In the track mode at least some of the track wheels are operatively mounted to corresponding wheel drives and the electronic circuit calculates hydraulic rate data on the basis of the speed data and of the steering data to control the first and second driving hydraulic pumps so that they will administer a respective hydraulic rate to the wheel drives which is representative of the hydraulic rate data to control the rotational speed of the at least some of the track wheels that are operatively mounted to corresponding wheel drives, to both propel and steer the hybrid vehicle. | 01-21-2010 |
