Inventor: DELL JAMES W
IPC: F16D41/20
Filed: 2004-02-04
Abstract: A decoupler (22) is provided for transferring rotary movement between an engine driven crankshaft (16) and a serpentine belt (20). The decoupler (22) has a rotary driving member (18, 36) and a rotary driven member (36, 18) coaxially mounted with the driving member for relative rotary movement therewith. A decoupling assembly (19) extends between the driving member (18, 36) and the driven member (36, 18). The decoupling assembly (19) selectively couples the driving and driven members (18, 36) when the driving member rotates relative to the driven member in a first coupling sense. The decoupling assembly (19) uncouples the driving member from the driven member when the driving member rotates relative to the driven member in a second sense opposite the first sense. A torsional vibration damper (80) is mounted for rotation with one of the driving and driven members (18, 36) to cancel some of the vibrations generated by the engine.

Patent CA-2538317-A1 (CA)
Inventor: REIME GERD
IPC: A01M1/04
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: A device for capturing insects comprises a housing (10) with a capturing opening (11) and comprises an immobilizing device for at least temporarily immobilizing the insects. Captured insects are kept in a collecting device (13) for collecting and retaining after they have passed through the capturing opening (11). Insects can be captured in a simple and convenient manner by virtue of the fact that a capturing area, which can be influenced at least temporarily by the immobilizing device, is provided outside of the device having the associated capturing space (14) in order to bring the insects from this capturing space to the collecting device (13) via the capturing opening, and that the immobilizing device is formed by at least one light source (12) for blinding the insects. After switching on the immobilizing device, the capturing space must be merely placed over the insect so that the insect then enters the collecting device (13).

Title: Control of particle growth with complexing agents
Inventor: PATEL RAJ D
IPC: G03G9/08
Filed: 2006-03-24
Abstract: A method of making particles suitable for use as toners includes forming a mixture of sulfonated polyester resin, a colorant dispersion and optionally a wax dispersion, homogenizing the mixture, adding a coagulant to the mixture to aggregate the mixture to form aggregated particles, and coalescing the aggregated particles to form coalesced particles. In the method, when a predetermined average particle size is achieved during the aggregation and/or coalescing step, a complexing agent that complexes with ions of the coagulant is added in an amount effective to substantially halt any further particle growth. The complexing agent is believed to halt further growth by complexing with free coagulant ions still in the solution.

Patent CA-2541386-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLEPFER RUTH N
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 2004-10-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to the secure delivery of an extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) therapy to treat cardiac dysfunction that employs atrial and/or ventricular extra-systoles via pacing-like stimulation of the heart. These extra-systoles must be timed correctly to achieve beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics (benefit) while maintaining an extremely low level of risk of arrhythmia induction and excellent ICD-like arrhythmia sensing and detection (security). Further experience with ESS has led to improved implementation methods that depend on better blanking, ESS stimulation timing (of an "extra-systolic interval" or ESI), and ESS therapy delivery options and guidance. These methods may be employed individually or in combinations in an external or implantable ESS therapy delivery device.

Title: Image processing
Inventor: STROEM JACOB
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: In an image-encoding scheme, an input image is decomposed into several image blocks (600) comprising multiple image elements (610), e.g. pixels or texels.  The image blocks (600) are then encoded into encoded block representations (700). Such a block representation (700) comprises a color codeword (710), an intensity codeword (720) and a sequence (730) of intensity representations.  The color codeword (710) is a representation of the colors of the image elements (610) of the block (600). The intensity codeword (720) is a representation of a set of multiple intensity modifiers for modifying the intensity of the image elements (610) in the block (600). The representation sequence (730) includes an intensity representation for each image element (610) in the block (600), where a representation identifies one of intensity modifiers in the intensity modifier set. During decoding, the color and intensity codewords (710, 720) and intensity representations (730) are used to generate a decoded representation of the image elements (610) in the block (600).
