Patent CA-2421233-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMASWAMY SREENIVAS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'assurer une multidiffusion à protocole Internet (IP) sur des réseaux satellitaires maillés à accès multiple par répartition dans le temps (time division multiple access: TDMA), qui mettent en oeuvre une architecture de serveur de routage centralisé, permettant de conserver une bande passante de liaison et de minimiser le retard. Des terminaux satellitaires individuels réalisent le réacheminement d'un trafic IP de multidiffusion en direction de terminaux de destination, sur la base d'informations fournies par le serveur de routage. Des protocoles de routage de multidiffusion doivent être supportés seulement au niveau du serveur de routage, ce qui permet de minimiser l'unité centrale et les ressources en mémoire nécessaires aux terminaux. La capacité de canal pour le trafic de multidiffusion peut être attribuée de manière statique ou dynamique et tire plein avantage de la nature de diffusion du support.

IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 2001-09-21
Abstract: A surgical access device (34) includes a single valve (35) that forms a seal with the body wall (21) and provides an access channel (32) into a body cavity (18). The valve (35) has properties for creating a zero seal in the absence of an instrument, an instrument seal in the presence of instruments, or a hand port to provide access into the cavity (18). The valve can include a gel, preferably an ultragel comprised of an elastomer and an oil providing elongation greater than 1000 percent and durometer less than 5 Shore A. A  method for making the surgical access device includes the combining of a gelling agent with an oil, preferably by molding. A method for use includes steps for creating an opening with the instrument. The valve and method are particularly adapted for laparoscopic surgery wherein the abdominal cavity is insufflated with a gas.

Patent CA-2424704-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BALDWIN CHARLES P
IPC: E02F3/815
Filed: 2003-04-07
Abstract: The present invention provides for carbide edge snowplow and grader blades that are durable and fracture resistant. The carbide along the blade edge and blade bottom which contacts the surface being treated is designed to limit the degree of fracture of the carbide. Carbide inserts along the edge and/or bottom are separated from each other by a steel alloy spacer/shim along the width of the blade. The spacer/shim reduces the potential for impact damage cracks that form in a carbide insert from propagating into adjacent inserts along the width of the blade. In one embodiment, the improved blade edge comprises an edge body having a lower edge with a recess and separate slot in the bottom surface of the edge. Within the blade recess and blade slot are positioned carbide block/bar inserts separated by spacer means made from a ductile material.

Patent CA-2431685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ELIASON KEVIN M
IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 2001-12-18
Abstract: The invention relates to compositions that incorporate surface modified, nanometer sized, inorganic oxide particles into energy curable fluids. The surface modification aspect allows the compatibility between the particles a nd fluid to be controllably adjusted to achieve a wide range of rheological characteristics. For printing, preferred compositions have favorable dot gai n and thickness build up. When the composition is cured, the presence of the particles also helps improve physical properties such as hardness, modulus, abrasion resistance, refractive index, and the like. The compositions are particularly well-suited for forming printed, radiation cured features on substrates such as paper, signs, walkways, roadways, motor vehicles, boats, aircraft, furniture, equipment, and the like.

Inventor: DELOREY DARREN G
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2003-09-09
Abstract: The Evil Eye is a Halloween mask with LED's, which light up the eyes when voice activated. The Evil Eye Halloween mask (Fig 1(1)) has several LED's (Fig 1(2)), that light up the eye sockets, or fake eyeballs if they are included in the mask design, when voice activated. An electronic module (Fig 1(3)) that includes a microphone for sensing the voice signal of the mask wearer produces this light up effect. This signal is then amplified and used to drive said LED's. The electronic module is either housed in a preformed pocket on the inside of the mask, or, glued directly to the inside of the mask. The electronic module is thin enough so as to be mounted on the inside of the mask and can be turned on and off by means of a single switch. The main function of the eye socket/ball sighting up is to provide the mask with a spooky effect. A secondary advantage of this effect is that the wearer of the mask becomes substantially more visible at night.

Inventor: BEARDSWORTH LOUIS JOHN COLMAN
IPC: B64F1/36
Filed: 2002-04-05
Abstract: A system is provided for managing the inbound flow of aircraft to an airfiel d by ensuring that aircraft are sequenced before departure into an arrival stream. Sequencing uses operational data obtained from airlines and then provides a methodology for sharing this data with the air traffic control (ATC) agency. The outcome is a daily arrival schedule providig a predetermin ed operational arrival time for each aircraft movement. The operational data us ed by the system relates to airline punctuality, taxi times at departure airfields and actual flight times predicted on a flight-by-flight basis by airline flight planning systems. This information is combined to effect a predictive arrival time at a desired navigational fix. When used in conjunction with an optimised sequencing process for the final arrival time, the system then creates a Tactical Arrival Time (TAT) for an individual flight. Airlines share proportionally in a measure of departures from requested TATs, such measures being optionally weighted.

Filed: 2003-10-06
Abstract: Oil is dispensed from a storage tank to a tanker truck using a kit which permits the dispensing valve on the tank to be operated remotely from the tank. The kit is usable with valves of the type having a rotatable valve member and a spout. The kit includes a driven member to be supported for rotation with the rotatable valve member, an actuator to be supported at the free end of the spout and a drive mechanism for communicating between the actuator and the driven member to drive rotation of the driven member responsive to actuation by the actuator. This configuration permits remote activation of the valve at the free end of the spout, and accordingly all the operations for aligning the spout and dispensing oil therefrom into a truck can be accomplished at the free end of the spout, eliminating the danger associated with operators commonly walking across the spout from the truck to open the valve on the storage tank.

Title: Anti-sabotage and anti-theft device for tire inflating valves
Inventor: BARBANTI GIOVANNI
IPC: B60B1/00
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: It is described an anti-sabotage and anti-theft device for tire inflating valves which is realised by a cap (10) with two main elements of Fig 7 at least, a member (15) with an internal thread and capable of screwing on the end of the valve (9) and the envelope (16) of the same cap, so that the connection between the envelope, on which the screwing and clamping torque is applied, and the member (15) is reached by a click device (Fig 7 section A-A) in order to allow the transmission of the torque between the envelope and the threaded member in the screwing direction only. So doing, when the clamping of the cap is obtained and a sufficient stopping torque is assured (capable of contrasting the unscrewing torque), it is impossible to unscrew the cap from the valve since the unscrewing torque applied to the envelope is not transmitted to the threaded body.
