Patent CA-2329374-A1 (CA)
Title: A pulse width modulated weighing platform
Inventor: MILLER KENNETH G
IPC: G01G23/37
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: An electronic scale uses an analog signal from a load cell which is converted directly to a pulse width modulated output signal. This pulse width modulated output signal represents the weight of an object on the scale and is sufficient to be directly read by a typical microcontroller. Therefore, no amplifier or analog to digital converter is required. The microcontroller then converts a signal representing the weight of the object on the scale to a weight value. A method of using the counter/timers on the microcontroller with synchronized overflow, is disclosed to enable a high resolution value of the pulse width modulated signal, which is then converted into a weight value for object's weight given that the pulse width modulated output signal is proportional to the weight of an object placed on the load cell.

Patent CA-2348173-A1 (CA)
Title: Waste water treatment method and apparatus
Inventor: LAMBERT LAWRENCE
IPC: C02F1/46
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: A method for separating contaminants from a aqueous source containing contaminants. In one embodiment, the method involves the use of a high powdered oxidant dissolved within the aqueous system. The gas is dissolved within a reservoir in the aqueous solution and the pressure within the reservoir is controllable. This allows maximum contact of the oxidizing dissolved gas with the contaminant material. Once oxidized, the outlet of the reservoir is adapted to permit hydraulic cavitation. The net effect of the cavitation is to induce a foam formation which foam transports a floc into a separate phase from the aqueous solution. In this manner, the process is effectively a dissolved oxidizing gas mass transfer process. In another embodiment, the process may be augmented by electrocoagulation. This involves the use of an electric cell which is disposed within the reservoir containing the oxidant material. By providing electrodes and exposing the electrodes to a source of current, the contaminants within the aqueous solution are either oxidized or otherwise degraded and this complements the oxidation by the dissolved gaseous oxidant. An apparatus is also disclosed to effect the methods set forth above.

Patent CA-2372845-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ACCADIA PAUL S
IPC: B26B27/00
Filed: 2002-02-19
Abstract: A device for unrolling a circumferentially extending portion of an outwardly rolled rim of a cup made of flexible material has a main body with spaced front and rear wall portions connected together at their upper ends to form a U-shape in side view to enable the device to be placed over the rim of a cup with the front wall portion inside the wall and the rear wall portion outside the cup. The main body has two laterally spaced blade members within the U-shape with downwardly facing cutting edges, the rear wall portion having a forwardly projecting unrolling member below the blade members. When the device has been positioned on the cup, downward movement of the device causes the unrolling member to pass below the rim and the blade members to cut through the rim at circumferentially spaced positions to form a cut rim portion. Subsequent upper movement of the device causes the unrolling member to engage and unroll the cut rim portion.

Title: Methods and systems for controlling computers or linking to internet resources from physical and electronic objects
Inventor: DAVIS BRUCE L
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: Physical or electronic objects are encoded with identifiers, which serve to trigger object-appropriate responses from computer systems that encounter such objects. The encoding may be steganographic (e.g., by digital watermarks), so the presence of such identifiers is not evident to persons encountering the objects. An exemplary application is a computer system that looks at a printed magazine advertisement (20) and initiates a link to a corresponding internet page. In one such implementation, the computer system senses an identifer encoded in the advertisement, forwards the identifier to a remote database, receives from the database (17) a corresponding internet address (18a, 18b, 18c), and directs a browser to that address (18a, 18b, 18c). The same arrangement can be used for on-line ordering from printed merchandise catalogs. Another application is a computer system that looks at a printed spreadsheet (20), and retrieves from disk storage an electonic version of the same document for editing.

Title: Sanitary absorbent article having a tear-resistant flange seal
Inventor: BRISEBOIS HENRI
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: A sanitary absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin, or incontinence pad having a cover layer that is fluid permeable, an absorbent system and a liquid-impervious barrier layer under the absorbent system to prevent collected liquid to escape therefrom. The fluid-permeable cover layer is attached to the liquid-impervious barrier layer to form a flange seal enclosing the absorbent system.  The flange seal includes two zones, namely a first zone and a second zone separated by a common boundary, each zone manifesting different mechanical properties. The first zone that resides closer to the outer edge of the flange seal is more resistant to shear stresses than the second zone residing near the inner edge of the flange seal. This arrangement reduces the likelihood of the flange seal being torn during use of the sanitary absorbent article.
