Patent CA-2541475-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CERCIELLO ANTONIO
IPC: B05C11/10
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved spreading unit for bonding machines which is equipped with recirculation systems that take up adhesive from the base of the reservoir in contact with the take-up roller and return it to the storage tank, from which it is sent back to the reservoir; this continuous circulation of the product guarantees that the product will maintain the ideal temperature and viscosity characteristics.      In accordance with an advantageous aspect of the invention, the reservoir containing the adhesive taken up by the rollers is bounded by a pair of doctor blades which define an enclosed area in contact with the roller and are mounted on a sliding support, so that they can be moved away from the roller for cleaning, maintenance and similar operations. The reservoir is positioned at a height calculated so that adhesive is transferred to the reservoir by a calibrated gravity system, without being engaged by mechanical devices, and consequently without producing foam.      This guarantees continuous recirculation of adhesive without the risk of stagnation which could cause a variation in the characteristics of the compound, and above all without foam production. Moreover, in accordance with another advantageous aspect of the invention, the reservoir is mounted on a skid that slides along guides integral with the structure of the machine, so that it can be rapidly distanced from the rollers when required for maintenance or cleaning operations.

Title: Pressure off knee brace
Inventor: REZAZADEH MOSLEM
IPC: A61F5/052
Filed: 2006-05-01
Abstract: This leg brace is comprised of durable plastic material (used in its structural columns) and cotton material (used in its thigh and calf strap) to permit for a safer, lighter, and more comfortable brace. The structural design of this brace makes it multifunctional such that it is able to support the function of the thigh and the leg muscles, the knee cartilage, the kneecap, the foot and the arch of the foot. The pressure from the person's body weight and that extending from the lower legs and the feet are transferred to the hinges of the brace that help in taking off the pressure from the injured joints and reduce approximately 25% of the pressure from the entire the knee cartilage. This will then allow persons with weak leg muscles to stand up with ease and or climb steps.  The thigh and the calf strap of this brace allow for the uniform and accurate distribution of the weight pressure exerting onto the thigh and calf muscles. The lower structure of the brace allows it to easily glide into the footwear and takes pressure off the ankle.

Patent CA-2571120-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHAFFORD ARCHER R JR
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-06-30
Abstract: Processing is allocated within a distributed telecommunications (fig. 1) at two levels - the component level and the process level (120, 130, 140, 150, 160). At the component level, a virtual switch is employed to route service requests to one of a group of components that are configured to process the service request. The decision can be made autonomously by the virtual switch or entirely based on information provided by the component or even by a combination of both. At the process level, each component establishes multiple instances of the serving process and then selects one instance to process the service requests. The component monitors the processing burden of the instance of the process and if a degradation in performance is anticipated, the component selects an alternative instance of the serving process to handle subsequent requests.
