Abstract: A two-wheeled roller skate with canted wheels has an axle for the forward wheel located well forward of the ball of the foot. The axle for the rear wheel is located at the rear of the skater's heel. The wheels are canted so that the front and rear wheels contact the ground on the opposite sides of the center line of the skater's foot. In plan projection, the axles are preferably non-parallel in order to provide steering correction. The amount of steering correction desirable will depend on the skater's skill and the nature of the skating activity. In alternative embodiments, the present invention incorporates novel braking mechanisms.

Title: Method and arrangement for verifying items of mail
Inventor: PERSSON JAN
IPC: G07C11/00
Filed: 2006-11-29
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and an arrangement for the verification of individually presented items of mail provided with individually unique machine-readable identification codes, where the identification code of a presented item of mail is read and the identification code that has been read is checked against machine-readable information about intended items of mail and their status, whereby the current item of mail is a) removed if the identification code is not present in the intended items of mail or if it is illegible, and b) the status of the current item of mail is checked against the machine-readable information about intended items of mail and their status in order to determine whether the current item of mail has previously been delivered. If the current item of mail has previously been delivered, the current item of mail is removed. If the current item of mail has not previously been delivered, the information about the status of the current item of mail is updated with information that the current item of mail has been delivered and the current item of mail is allowed to pass as a verified delivery. Furthermore, an item of mail that has been approved for delivery is retained until a subsequent item of mail has been identified and approved for delivery.

Patent CA-2636383-A1 (CA)
Title: A tracking method and a measurement system with laser tracker
Inventor: DOLD JURGEN
IPC: G01S17/86
Filed: 2007-01-04
Abstract: Disclosed is a measuring system comprising a laser tracker (10), a target point marked by a reflector (12), a surveying apparatus (13), and an arithmetic and control unit (14). The laser tracker emits a measuring beam (M) which is reflected by the reflector, a process that is used for determining the distance between the laser tracker (10) and the reflector (12). The surveying apparatus has a known position and orientation relative to the measuring beam (M) while preferably being embodied as a survey camera. The inventive measuring system is designed so as to track the reflector (12) via the measuring beam (M). In a normal tracking mode (A), a measured value for controlling the orientation of the measuring beam (M) is derived from the detection of the measuring beam reflected by the reflector (12). If the measuring beam is not directed onto the reflector, i.e. the measuring beam (M) is not reflected by the reflector and thus no reflected measuring beam can be detected by the laser tracker, the system switches to a special tracking mode in which the measured value for controlling the orientation of the measuring beam (M) is derived from an image (20) of the survey camera (13).

This prevents the harmful effects of pressure on the popliteal fossa in loss of sensation in the lower legs and feet, and occlusion of blood and lymph vessels in the lower legs. A number of embodiment cushions are disclosed, some embodiments comprised of a relatively from core foam material with a relatively softer viscoelastic foam in areas which are in contact with the patient's skin.
Patent CA-2642574-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHANNES PETER M
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: A fabrication process produces markers for a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance system. The marker includes a magnetomechanical element comprising one or more resonator strips of magnetostrictive amorphous metal alloy; a housing having a cavity sized and shaped to accommodate the resonator strips for free mechanical vibration therewithin; and a bias magnet to magnetically bias the magnetomechanical element. The process employs adaptive control of the cut length of the resonator strips, correction of the length being based on the deviation of the actual marker resonant frequency from a preselected, target marker frequency. Use of adaptive, feedback control advantageously results in a much tighter distribution of actual resonant frequencies. Also provided is a web-fed press for continuously producing such markers with adaptive control of the resonator strip length.
