Title: Saddle pad and method of making same
Inventor: KULOVIC SELVER
IPC: B68C1/12
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: The inventive saddle pads (20) are for placement between a saddle (20) and a  horse's back, or between a saddle (20) and the rider, for therapeutic and cushioning protection for the horse and for the rider. The saddle pads (20) incorporate a perforated honeycomb cellular structure (44) which contours to  the horse's back and/or the saddle (20) to provide uniform load distribution . The honeycomb cells (52) of the pad (20) are aligned perpendicular to the horse's back and flex with movement to reduce shear forces against the horse 's skin. The ability of the honeycomb (44) to contour and flex with the movemen t help keep the pad (20) security in place, eliminating rubbing and chafing.</ SDOAB>

Patent CA-2371111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAIDA HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: G01K11/00
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: Lors du laminage de feuillards d'acier et d'autres produits laminés, un broutage a lieu à certains régimes de fonctionnement. Il en résulte une altération de la qualité du produit laminé, une production de déchets et un endommagement du laminoir. Un freinage appliqué aux cylindres n'apporte aucune amélioration ; la commande électronique ne constitue, non plus, une solution satisfaisante. Etant donné qu'on peut concevoir qu'il s'agit, lors du broutage, d'une oscillation auto-entretenue, des détecteurs à résistance sont accouplés aux cylindres et/ou au produit laminé en vue de stabiliser les modes d'oscillations auto-entretenues modes à amortissement négatif par un amortissement supplémentaire. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 4, des détecteurs à résistance (44), également en forme de cylindres, entraînés en rotation, sont accouplés au cylindre de travail (41). Dans le cas le plus simple, les détecteurs à résistance (44) sont en une matière plastique amortissante. Des couches concentriques ou en forme de disques, en acier et matière plastique, du type absorbeur de vibration stratifié s'avèrent plus efficaces et plus faciles à adapter. L'agencement du cylindre de travail (41) et du détecteur à résistance (44), représenté à la figure 4, permet de supprimer les oscillations verticales ( = direction x¿1?), ainsi que les oscillations de broutage auto-entretenues en direction x¿2? et .PHI.¿5?, responsables des ondes de forme et d'épaisseur, dues au broutage, dans le produit laminé (42 : cylindre d'appui, 43 : produit laminé).

Title: Dual wavelength medical diode laser system
Inventor: NEUBERGER WOLFGANG
IPC: A61B18/22
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A medical diode laser system which allows for simultaneous transmission of at least two wavelengths radiation of a suitable wavelength for tissue cutting or ablating is coupled into an inner fiber core (16) to produce an output beam with sufficient power density for ablation. Radiation of a suitable wavelength for tissue (11) coagulation is introduced into an outer fiber core (15) to produce another output beam with a lower power density appropriate for coagulation. The outer fiber core (15) surrounding the inner fiber core (16) has a refractive index less than the inner fiber core (16), thereby functioning as cladding for the inner core (16).  Cladding that has a refractive index that is less than the outer fiber core (15) surrounds the outer fiber core (15). Material functioning as an intermediary cladding separates the outer and inner fiber cores. In this embodiment, the inner core has a larger refractive index than the inner cladding (35) which in turn has a lower refractive index than the outer core (15).

Title: System for distributed media network and meta data server
Inventor: SINCAGLIA NICOLAS W
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2001-02-05
Abstract: A system and method of operation for a distributed media network and meta data server provides a low cost, efficient, reliable and versatile alternative to traditional media network systems. Multiple media data file servers are designated as primary or alternate data file servers for different media data media files. Related or linked media data files may be distributed throughout a media network which results in lower peak bandwidth usage at each media data file server. Each server in the distributed media network responds more quickly and efficiently due to its limited functionality and scope of media data files that it must server. Media data file servers transfer low bandwidth meta data to client devices allowing a significant increase in the number of clients which can simultaneously log in to a dedicated network server. The distributed system also provides media data owners with greater control over the media data files that they own by allowing the owners to encode, post or remove files from servers that they control and maintain. The alternate media data file servers of the distributed media network also can act as primary file servers during catastrophic errors of the primary media data file servers, thus resulting in a more reliable and fault tolerant media network.
