Title: Sole traxx
Inventor: HEWITT MICHAEL J
IPC: A43B7/12
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: FIG.A The bottom of the shoe has flexible female tracks, which are embedded into the base of the shoe. The shoe and the sole both have dual tracks. The accepting female tracks on the shoe are of equal Lengths to the male tracks on the sole. The length of the tracks stops 1/1 of an inch short of the back of the sole and the shoe. FIG.B At the rear of the shoe just between the tracks is a striker chamber. The striker chamber is 1 1/4 of an inch in length X I of an inch in width X 1/4 of an inch in depth that allows the compressed locking bolt to decompress and erect into the striker chamber locking the sole to the shoe securely to prevent the sole from sliding forward. FIG.C The track is a T-Bar track that is T=1/4 of an inch in width X 1/8 of an inch in depth on a standard Bar 1/8 of an inch thick X 3/8 of an inch high with 2 inch centers using an optiliptical form to remove excess materials to allow more flexibility to the T. FIG.D Illustrates a retainer "bar" that is molded into the sole making the sole and the track one unit. The track could be made of a polymer graphite mixture, or various rubbers which allows flexibility and durability and as well makes the track weather and wear resistant. FIG.E The sole could be made of various materials (rubbers, vinyls or plastics) and the font of the sole covers the tip of the shoe to prevent the sole from sliding back. FIG.F The inside of the sole's parameter and the outer parameter of the shoe each have a J channel made of vinyl and plastic which helps secure the sole to the shoe. This also helps ensure that the shoe is more water-resistant and as well keeps the tracks free of debris. FIG.G Located at the heel between the tracks of the sole is a locking bolt which is made of molded plastic secured to a pivot pin made of stainless steel which is 3/16 of an inch in diameter and 1 1/5 of an inch in length molded into the sole. FIG.H There is a spring-loaded compression cylinder that is 1/4 of an inch in diameter. The cylinder is 3/8 of an inch when uncompressed and 1/4 of an inch when compressed and is built into the shoe at the opposite end of the pivot pin. The locking bolt has a 1/8 of an inch channel running through its center from the pivot pin to the compression cylinder to allow the unlocking pin to compress the locking bolt. FIG.I The unlocking pin enters through the back of the sole into (FIG.J) the locking bolt channel and inserts itself into a counter-sunk hole which is 1/8 inch in depth built into the sole. The locking bolt stays compressed down until the sole is slid into place and the hiking bolt finds the striker chamber that allows the locking bolt to erect itself. The locking bolt is 1/4 of an inch in depth X 3/4 of an inch in length and 1 inch in width. To disengage the locking bolt, an unlocking pin that is 1/8 of an inch in diameter, made durable of plastic or stainless steel is inserted through the back of the sole. The unlocking pin could be of various lengths.

Title: Collection assembly
Inventor: ISKRA MICHAEL
IPC: A61J1/05
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: The present invention is a container assembly that includes an inner tube formed from a plastic that is substantially inert to bodily fluids and an outer tube that is formed from a different plastic. Collectively, the container assembly is useful for providing an effective barrier against gas and water permeability in the assembly and for extending the shelf-life of the container assembly, especially when used for blood collection. The outer surface of the inner tube and/or the inner surface of the outer tube are provided with a matte finish that forms an array of peaks and valleys. The valleys form circuitous paths that accommodate a flow of air to facilitate insertion of the inner tube into the outer tube. The circuitous paths also allow air to vent during processing to low pressure.
Patent CA-2393815-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FLORY ISAAC L IV
IPC: H05B41/232
Filed: 2002-07-16
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for operating one of a plurality of lamps employed within a luminaire via a single ballast, thereby extending the operational life of the luminaire. The operating lamp disables the lamps downstream from itself by preventing current from conducting through lamps other than the operating lamp. The lamps upstream from the operating lamp typically lack a sufficient voltage for ignition and operation. However, if any of the upstream lamps begin to operate, the lamps operating downstream cease to operate. In the event that two lamps begin to operate in an asymmetric manner, a capacitor is preferably provided to maintain a reverse voltage with respect to the output of the ballast, thus ensuring reduced voltage across the rectified lamps until one lamp extinguishes and the second lamp begins to operate.

Title: Turbocharger with sliding blades having combined dynamic surfaces and heat screen and uncoupled axial actuating device
Inventor: BERNARDINI LUCIANO LABINDO
IPC: F01D17/14
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: The invention concerns a turbocharger having a variable geometry turbine intake incorporating a mobile cylindrical piston (70) for varying the area of the induction nozzle in the turbine (18).  Blades (90) mounted on the piston for controlling the flow in the nozzle penetrate through a slotted heat shield (92) having a central opening wherein the rear disc of the turbine wheel is embedded to provide a smooth aerodynamic flow in the turbine vanes. A shield (100) engaged between the heat screen and a central housing of the turbocharger prevents the gas from the rear disc cavity from recycling into the cavity housing the blades further enhancing the aerodynamic flow. An axial actuating device (77) is secured for operating the piston by means of a shaft coupled by a cross (72) to the piston and coupled to an actuating hub (118) in the actuating device by quick connect unthreaded connection (122).

Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: A flake-based pigment is provided having improved specular reflectance characteristics in the visible wavelength range. The flake-based pigment has a plurality of composite reflective flakes each formed of a support layer on one or both opposing sides of the support layer. This flake structure exhibits a uniaxial compressive strength much greater than a corresponding uniaxial tensile strength. The structure of the flakes provides the benefits of rigidity and brittle fracture during manufacture and application processes, which ultimately provides favorable planar and specular reflectance characteristics to the pigment in the visible wavelength range. A variety of outer coating layers can be formed around the composite reflective flakes, such as various dielectric and/or absorber layers, to produce desired optical characteristics in the pigment. In addition is claimed, a method of fabricating the reflective flake-based pigment and a colorant composition comprising a polymeric medium and a plurity of the composite reflective flakes.

Title: Gain control method for acoustic echo cancellation and suppression
Inventor: BOLAND SIMON
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: A gain control method for reducing or eliminating the undesirable effects of acoustic echo coupling between a speaker and a microphone while providing a full- duplex connection. Weighted normalized far-end and near-end powers are used to first calculate a suppression value which is used to determine the attenuation factor between an upper and a lower limit, thus improving reliability in noisy environments. To further improve the quality of the full-duplex connection, a smoothing factor is applied to the attenuation calculation to provide a low power and constant sounding echo without annoying transient-like sounds.

Title: Selective routing of data flows using a tcam
Inventor: MATE ASHUTOSH
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for supporting in a router a plurality of data flows using a ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) in which the number of accesses to write to the TCAM is optimized to improve efficiency of updating and subsequent look up. To accommodate the plurality of data flows, the TCAM is partitioned into at least two partitions in which a first portion includes indices having a higher priority and a second portion includes indices having a lower priority. For example, multiple protocol label switching (MPLS) flows and IP-Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be added to the first partition and policy based routing flows can be added to the second partition. During subsequent TCAM look-up of a prefix of an incoming packet the MPLS or IP-VPN flow will subsume any matching policy based routing flow, such as flows classified by an access control list or traffic manager flows.
