Patent CA-2499568-A1 (CA)
Title: Current controlled contact arc suppressor
Inventor: LEE TONY J
IPC: H01H9/54
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: The arc suppression system for electrical contacts includes a transistor, su ch as an IGBT, which is connected across the contacts. A control circuit contro ls the operation of the transistor such that the turning on of the transistor results in a current path around the contacts, thereby tending to prevent arcing across the contacts. A current sensor, such as a flyback transformer, is positioned in series with the contacts, wherein when the contacts open, current is interrupted through the contacts and the transformer, a secondary voltage results which is applied to the transistor, which tends to maintain the transistor on for a time which is sufficient to allow the contacts to either open or close without an arc.

Title: User interface for television schedule system
Inventor: ROOP JOHN H
IPC: H04N5/782
Filed: 1991-09-10
Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different television program lengths of one half hour to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of tree cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changes in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided. A conventional offset shadow (34) which is a black bar underlines the entire cell and wraps around the right edge of the cell. To tag the underlying position which defines where the cursor (32) is and thus, where it will move next portions (36) of the black bar outside the current underlying position are segmented, while the current position is painted solid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device in a cable tie. This comprises an elongate band part (2) of a certain width and thickness, which at one end has an elongate insertion narrower than the band part and terminates in a grip tab, and at its other end has a locking head (1). The locking head (1) has, on the one hand, a through-opening (6) which is intended for the band part (2) and has substantially the same width as the band part (2) but a height greater than the thickness of the band part (2) and, on the other hand, a slot-shaped recess (7) in one transverse wall of the opening (6), the width of which recess is such that it will allow the insertion part to be inserted into the opening (6) via the recess (7), forming a band loop. On the band part (2) there is toothing (10) and in the locking head (1) a locking tongue (8) provided with toothing (9), which are designed, by means of a positive interlock, to lock the band part (2) in relation to the locking head (1). In the area around the connection of the insertion part (3) to the grip tab there are wing-like projections (11) extending transversely and out from the insertion part (3), which are thinner than the grip tab (4) and which towards the latter terminate in a ridge (12). In forming the band loop, the ridge (12) is designed, with the projections (11) inserted into the through-opening (6) of the locking head (1) and engaging with the opposing walls of the opening (6), to abut the locking head (1). The fact that the projections (11) are of thinner than the grip tab (4) creates a clearance interval (13) between the insertion part and the locking tongue (8).
