Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110151039TIRE MOLD AND TIRE WITH INTERNAL GROOVES IN TIRE TREAD - A tire mold is described that includes a plurality of tread molding segments having an inner surface for molding the tire tread. The mold further includes a plurality of sidewall plates having an inner surface for molding the tire sidewall. The tread mold segments together with the sidewalls cooperate to form a tire molding cavity. The sidewall plate further comprises a slot that extends from the outer surface of the tread segment to the inner mold surface, and has a pin extending from the outer surface of the tread segment. The pin is mounted to a rotatable body which can swivel. The rotatable body further comprises a guide pin which cooperates with a working member to rotate the body into a desired position in order to position the pin in the tire tread to be molded. The working member actuates the rotatable body into various positions.06-23-2011

20090321532Control Parameters for a High Voltage Battery Cooling Strategy - A cooling system for a vehicle battery is described. The system has a cooling loop in heat transfer communication with the battery, for removing heat therefrom with a coolant, a first cooling device selectively coupleable to the cooling loop, using a refrigerant fluid to transfer heat with the coolant, and a second cooling device selectively coupleable to the cooling loop, using ambient air to transfer heat with the coolant. Various temperature sensors for sensing an ambient temperature and a battery temperature are provided, and connected to a controller that implements a coolant flow bypass function by commanding operation of a valve to bypass the selected one of the cooling devices in response to the battery and the ambient temperatures.12-31-2009
20100009246Bypass Function for a High Voltage Battery Cooling Strategy - A cooling system and method for a vehicle battery is described. A high flow rate cooling loop in heat transfer communication with the battery is provided, for removing heat from the battery with a coolant. A first cooling device may be selectively coupled to the high flow rate cooling loop, using a refrigerant fluid to transfer heat with the coolant, and a second cooling device can also be selectively coupled to the high flow rate cooling loop, using ambient air to transfer heat with the coolant. A valve for directing the coolant to at least a selected one of the first and second cooling devices is provided, and a controller is used to implement a coolant flow bypass function by commanding operation of the valve to bypass the selected one of the cooling devices to limit a temperature gradient between the coolant and the battery.01-14-2010

20080261167Accessory for Apex Locating Apparatus - The invention relates to an accessory for an apex locating apparatus, characterized in that it comprises a fitting (10-23-2008
20090075232COUPLING SYSTEM FOR HAND INSTRUMENTS FOR DENTAL OR SURGICAL USE - A coupling system for shafts of the lower gripper mechanism and the upper motor mechanism of an instrument includes: —a hollow shaft whose upper end can couple to the lower end of the motor mechanism shaft and whose lower end can slide around the upper end of the gripper mechanism shaft; a movable pin connecting the lower end of the hollow shaft with the upper end of the gripper mechanism shaft; a spring; two diametrically opposed oblong windows serving to limit the path of the pin such that, for the hollow shaft and the gripper mechanism shaft, a first relative position wherein they are separated maximally and a second relative position wherein they are approached maximally are defined; and a holder whose length is such that, only in the second position, it allows the pin to appear allowing connection separation of the coupling system and the gripper mechanism, respectively.03-19-2009
20100009312HAND-HELD INSTRUMENT FOR DENTAL OR SURGICAL USE - A hand-held medical instrument intended to turn a movable tool at high speed, includes a clamping mechanism for fixing the tool, a motor mechanism for the driving rotation of the clamping mechanism and a coupling system (01-14-2010
20110165005PERISTALTIC PUMP AND IRRIGATION LINE - A flexible tube portion for an irrigation line connected to a supply of fluid for surgical or dental use is disclosed, wherein the flexible tube portion cooperates with rollers of a peristaltic pump for distributing fluid, and it includes means which, between two free ends thereof, define a distance, which, combined with the length of the tube portion, gives the tube portion a determined profile enabling its positioning directly underneath the raceway of the rollers of the pump. Also disclosed is a peristaltic pump including a plurality of rollers that roll over a flexible tube portion of an irrigation line connected to a supply of fluid for surgical or dental use, wherein it includes means for receiving the flexible tube portion in front of the plane in which the rollers move, then bringing the flexible tube portion underneath the rollers, and then pressing the tube portion against the rollers.07-07-2011
