Patent CA-2717589-A1 (CA)
Title: Shoulder rom orthosis
Inventor: BONUTTI PETER M
IPC: A61F2/68
Filed: 2009-03-02
Abstract: Therapeutic abduction of the shoulder joint is achieved using a hinged device, the hinge activated by a cable passed between pul-leys to increase mechanical advantage. The cable is wound on a spool mounted on a ratcheting mechanism, whereby tension is maintained as the spool is wound via a knob or computer controlled motor. A rotation control device enables rotation of the spool by a user, but prevents rota-tion due to a load. Mating shackles pivot in connection with the hinge, and are activated by the cable to increase the angle of the hinge. The hinge is connected to the body, one portion affixed relative to the body, the other affixed relative to the upper arm. As the hinge angle is expand-ed, the shoulder joint is abducted, stretching the tissue of the joint.  If re-silient, the cable imparts a dynamic tensioning force to the shoulder joint.  Medial or lateral rotation is accomplished by a second device disposed at the elbow, wherein the pivot point of internal/external rotation is along the axis of the upper arm.

Abstract: Downlink PDCCH is communicated in a manner that mitigates a UE from decoding the PDCCH on multiple aggregation levels. Ambiguous payload sizes are identified and modified through zero padding with one or more bits based on the payload size. Aggregation level scrambling sequences can be generated such that a receiving UE  can accurately identify the aggregation level on which to decode the PDCCH. Indicator bits that signal the aggregation level to a UE can also be included in the PDCCH.

Patent CA-2739420-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZUBRIN ROBERT M
IPC: F01K13/00
Filed: 2011-05-09
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for generating"clean" electricity from carbonaceous material, and producing high-pressure CO2 which can be easily sequestered or utilized for a beneficial purpose, such as fuel production. This system and method utilizes a reformation process thatreforms carbonaceous fuel with superheated steam into a high-pressure gaseous mixture that is rich in carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas. This high-pressure gas exchanges excess heat with the incoming steam from a boiler. Once cooled, the high-pressure gas goes through a CO2separator,after which the CO2-rich gas is sequestered underground or beneficially re-used. The remaining hydrogen-rich gas is used to generate power in a power generation subsystem, such as a gas turbine or a fuel cell.  Therefore, carbon-free power is produced from coal, biomass, natural gas, or another carbon-based feedstock.

Abstract: An seeder includes a frame on ground wheels defining tool bars for seeding elements spaced across the frame. Each element includes a pair of parallel arms connected to the tool bar bracket forming a parallel linkage for up and down movement of a support arm connected at a rear end and carrying the packer wheel.  A spring applies a downward spring force on the parallel linkage to apply a downward force on the packer wheel so that the spring force increases as the parallel arms pivot upwardly and decreases as the parallel arms pivot downwardly.  A control device is arranged to raise and lower the tool bar in response to a detected value of a sensor so as to change the angle of the parallel linkage and change the spring force. A cam controlled double rack adjustment of the height of the opener allows the user to change seeding depth.

Title: Reversible rod tong assembly
Inventor: PETTIT JOHN
IPC: E21B19/16
Filed: 2011-11-07
Abstract: A rod tong assembly has inner and outer rings. The outer ring has rollers disposed about a central opening. The inner ring disposes in the outer ring and has three jaws for engaging a rod element. The outer ring is rotated clockwise to make a rod connection and is rotated counter-clockwise to break the rod connection. When rotated, the rollers. pivot the opposing jaws pivot against flats of the rod element. Further rotation of the outer ring then rotates the inner ring to respectively tighten or loosen the connection. To return the assembly to its default condition, operators switch a lock disposed on the inner ring to a return condition.  When the outer ring is then rotated back, the lock catches on the outer ring and allows the inner ring to rotate in the same direction as the outer ring.

Abstract: Coded light has been proposed to enable advanced control of light sources and transmit information using light sources. Methods, devices and systems configured to operate a coded lighting control system, which is robust to interference from other sources of light are proposed. The method is based on sensing the light by a remote control device, and based on the sensing result adapting the identifiers used by the different light sources. By assigning a code identifier to the light source based on light received by the light receiver the code identifiers may be selected such that the influence of light interfering with the light source identifiers may be mitigated.

Title: Storm grate locking device
Inventor: TAYLOR JERRY D
IPC: E03F5/06
Filed: 2012-03-26
Abstract: A locking device for a storm grate which has previously not been secured to its associated frame, in order to help prevent theft or vandalism of the grate by unauthorized individuals. The device typically includes an upper plate, a positioning frame, at least one coupler nut, and a bolt. The positioning frame can include the coupler nut, a catch end for engaging the frame of the grate, a lower plate for engaging the underside of the grate, and a pliers handle for holding the device during insertion through a drain opening. The bolt passes through aligned holes in the upper plate and the coupler nut. In one embodiment, a second coupler nut is part of a wing wedge that secures a lower plate of the positioning frame to the underside of the grate.  A method of inserting the device includes holding the device with a pair of pliers, lowering it through an opening in the grate, securing the catch end around the frame or I-beam beneath the ground, and then tightening the bolt. Placement of the majority of the device below the level of the grate assures that only a small portion of the device is exposed above the level of the grate, and the bolt head can require a special wrench to screw/unscrew the bolt.
