Abstract: A computer controlled elliptical circular robotic super-transporter apparatus including a plurality of remotely computer controlled electric motor-generator propellers directly interfaced to hydrogen rotary combustion engines for combined propeller and jet-propulsion to achieve vertical takeoff and lading in all weather and high speed of travel radially. A tubular landing pedestal that extends down powered by a plurality of encoded electric servomotors engaged to linear gears for landing and to provide support of the aircraft having a plurality of lateral opening doors radially to provide access for cargo and passengers leading to internal elevators for cargo in the lower floors and passengers in upper floors. The modular metallic elliptical frame has a plurality of emergency exit doors with windows. Passenger and cargo floors are interfaced to a central tubular frame with a plurality of elevators leading to the respective sectors. The craft has the Ability to land on the water surface and to surf with the landing pedestal in the retracted position, with propulsion provided by the hydrogen rotary engines, or electric motors propellers. Emergency exit doors safely above the water level provide ramps for cargo and passengers and for rescue missions, and the aircraft to function as a recreation hotel inland, lakes and oceans, and to go site seeing. The propellers and jet rotary engines propulsion are directed by two remote controlled vane modules about 180 degrees of freedom according to encoded servomotors to provide vertical and radial propulsion in symbiosis and capable to operate according to manual or autopilot with reference to GPS. The hydrogen rotary jet engines are directly interfaced to ring shaped brush less variable speed electric servomotor-generators to generate electric power according to need and an alternative source of propulsion, which also provide a virtual self-contained electromagnetic bearing to support the combustion engine rotor. Optionally the super-transporter can be adapted for rescue missions, and with the Robotic Proboscis Pipeline and the Mining Ladle - for mining operations in land, lakes and oceans, and as a means to exchange inexpensive abundant renewable energy for dwindling fossil fuels, to protect the environment and unlock the great lakes and oceans space and their minerals to society. The basic hydrogen powered ring shaped rotary engine described, provides and ideal alternative propulsion source that can be adapted to all kinds of conventional aircraft, including airliners, and is capable of using fuels other than hydrogen.

Title: Medication package ejection mechanism
Inventor: WILSON RONALD H
IPC: A61J1/14
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: The ejection mechanism includes an elongated housing for storing medication packages of uniform configuration. An eject member moves between two positions, including a first, rest position and a second, eject position. An actuator moves the eject member between its two positions. A clamping member which forms part of one wall of the housing near the lower end thereof is spring biased so as to clamp the medication packages in place, except for the lowermost package, during the time that the lowermost package is begin ejected from the housing assembly. A cam member portion of the clamping member interacts physically with the eject member in such a manner that as the eject member moves from its rest position to its eject position, the clamping member is allowed to move inwardly, clamping those packages above the lowermost package. When the eject member is in its rest position, the clamping member is held away from the packages, permitting them to move downwardly in the housing assembly.
Patent CA-2359263-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHANSSON PER-AKE
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 2000-01-10
Abstract: Method of determining a surface illuminated by incident light. First the intensity (I1(x,y)) of light reflected from the surface is recorded in a first image of the surface. After this, the intensity (I2(x,y)) of light reflected from the surface is recorded in a second image of the surface, taken at a different angle of illumination. Only the diffusely reflected light is recorded. The difference between the recorded intensities of the first and the second images is determined to obtain a representation that emphasises variations in gradient of the surface. This representation is further processed by signal-adapted integration to a topographic description, that is, a height function of the surface.

A process (14) in communication with the sensor (13) receives the signal from the sensor (13) and generates spectral data representative of the bearing vibrational movement. A database (15) comprises data representative of an amplitude threshold, for at least one predetermined frequency, characteristic of a bearing fault. The processor (15) compares the spectral data to the amplitude threshold and generates a signal indication of the bearing assembly.
Patent CA-2381055-A1 (CA)
Title: Closure device
Inventor: BORCHARDT MICHAEL G
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The closure device includes interlocking first and second fastening strips.  The first fastening strip includes a closure element extruded onto a flange portion. The closure element and the flange portion are composed of materials having different densities to control the shape of the fastening strips. The purpose of changing the densities of the material is to reduce or eliminate the curve in the fastening strips which occurs during the manufacturing process. By providing a lower density material for the closure element, which has a greater volume, and by providing a higher density material for the flange portion, the flange portion will crystallize at the same rate as the closure element. This difference in densities results in a reduction or elimination in the curvature of the fastening strips.
