Patent CA-2463355-A1 (CA)
Title: Adjustable cover
Inventor: JOUBERT SEUN
IPC: A47J37/10
Filed: 2004-04-01
Abstract: An adjustable cover has a variable outside diameter for fitting in pots and pans of variable sizes and also cover plates of variable sizes. The cover can be used for keeping food hot on plates, preventing splatter from pans when cooking and retaining moisture in the pan during cooking. The cover comprises a circular nonporous top member with a plurality of apertures adjacent to a peripheral rim of the top member, the apertures being evenly spaced apart in a ring concentric with the peripheral rim. Each of the apertures has a tongue projecting radially outwards therefrom. A plurality of nonporous substantially trapezoidal vanes extend down from the peripheral rim and are curved and circumferentially overlapping to form a dome like shape. Each of the vanes has a tab projecting upwards into one of the apertures and rests on the surface of the top member. The tab having a slot to engage the tongue in each of the apertures and hold the vanes to the top member in a circular overlapping ring arrangement and adjacent vanes contacting each other. The tongue and slot form a hinge for each of the vanes so they move up or down together retaining the circular overlapping arrangement to vary the outside diameter of the cover.

Title: Underbalanced well completion
Inventor: CURTIS FREDRICK D
IPC: E21B21/10
Filed: 2004-04-20
Abstract: Equipment and methods which may be used in conjunction with an underbalanced well completion. In a described embodiment, a valve for use in a subterranean well in conjunction with a tool conveyed through the valve in a container is provided. The valve includes a passage formed longitudinally through the valve, a closure assembly which selectively permits and prevents flow through the passage, and an engagement device which engages the container as the tool is conveyed through the passage.

Patent CA-2469444-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical accelerometer or displacement device using a flexure system
Inventor: MACDOUGALL TREVOR
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 2004-06-02
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an accelerometer and/or displacement device that uses a mass coupled to a rhomboidal flexure to provide compression to an optical sensing element preferably having a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The transducer includes a precompressed optical sensor disposed along a first axis between sides of the flexure. The top portion of the flexure connects to the mass which intersects the flexure along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. When the mass experiences a force due to acceleration or displacement, the flexure will expand or contract along the second axis, which respectively compresses or relieves the compression of the FBG in the optical sensing element along the first axis. Perturbing the force presented to the FBG changes its Bragg reflection wavelength, which is interrogated to quantify the dynamic or constant force. A temperature compensation scheme, including the use of additional fiber Bragg gratings and thermal compensators axially positioned to counteract thermal effects of the optical sensing element, is also disclosed.

Patent CA-2484200-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLEN JOHN J
IPC: A61B19/02
Filed: 2004-01-15
Abstract: An automatically opening medical device package that includes upper and lower flexible sheet portions, each having distal and proximal ends and first and second peripheral edges. These flexible sheet portions are adapted to be detachably sealed together along their peripheral edges, thereby providing for the enclosure of a medical device. Also included is a collar attached to the distal ends such that a relative movement of the collar and the proximal ends, that decreases a distance therebetween, causes the flexible sheet portions to pull apart, opening the package. A method of manufacturing an automatically opening medical device package containing a medical device includes positioning a medical device on an upper surface of a flexible sheet of material that also has a lower surface, and first and second ends. Upper and lower collar precursors are attached to the lower surfaces of the first and second ends, respectively. The flexible sheet of material is subsequently folded end-over-end about the medical device, thereby forming upper and lower flexible sheet portions (each with distal and proximal ends) that enclose the medical device. The flexible sheet portions are then detachably sealed together. The collar precursors are rolled-back across the flexible sheet portions, operatively aligned, and sealed together to form a collar that is attached to the distal ends such that a relative movement of the collar and the proximal ends, that decreases a distance therebetween, results in a pulling apart of the flexible sheet portions, thereby exposing at least a portion of the medical device.

Filed: 2004-12-29
Abstract: A water runoff deflector for use at a loading dock includes a seal suspend ed from a wall-mounted frame. A truck can back underneath the deflector so that the seal rests atop the truck's roof. The seal helps prevent water (snow, rain, ice, slush, etc.) on the truck's roof from flowing off the back end of the truck and spilling into the building. The seal helps block any water flowing along the truck's roof toward the doorway of the dock and redirects the flow off to either side of the truck. The deflector can be used in conjunction with or without a conventional dock sea l or dock shelter. Unique front and rear bumper designs along with a pivotally yieldab le frame make the runoff deflector particularly useful in adapting to trucks of vario us heights. In some cases, the front bumper includes multiple panels of different rigidi ty to ensure smooth truck departures.
