Patent CA-2501596-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DITTMAR EDBERT E L
IPC: A23G3/28
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: An icing dispenser having an expandable elastic reservoir on the handle proximal end which when loaded expands a reservoir bladder under an elastic bias that tends to return the bladder to its unexpanded condition, therein uniformly impressing constant pressure on the icing within the reservoir. A  reservoir neck extends from the bladder through a handle passageway to a decorator icing tip. A butterfly valve within the reservoir neck modulates an amount of icing flowing through the tip with butterfly ends angled parallel to the passageway and urged into the pliable neck at a preferred angle, slightly deforming the neck to effect a valve seal. The handle is adapted for operation in an operator's fingers as a writing instrument with icing extrusion modulated by a lever on the handle being adjusted relative to the handle by the fingers.

Title: Multi-channel flat valve assembly for use within a dunnage or cargo air bag, and apparatus and method for installing same
Inventor: DEONARINE VICTOR I
IPC: B60P7/06
Filed: 2005-03-21
Abstract: A multi-channel flat valve assembly comprises multiple fluid channels which are effectively defined within the multi-channel flat valve assembly by means of laterally or transversely spaced heat-sealed regions. Accordingly, when the dunnage or cargo air bag is inflated, whereby the forces acting upon the oppositely disposed plastic sheets defining or comprising the flat valve assembly would tend to cause separation of the oppositely disposed plastic sheets with respect to each other and cause the flat valve assembly to attain an OPENED state, the disposition or presence of the heat sealed regions defining the multiple fluid channels effectively intercepts the propagation of such forces whereby the flat valve assembly tends to remain in its CLOSED state so as to effectively preserve the INFLATED state of the dunnage or cargo air bag, or considered alternatively, the dunnage or cargo air bag does not undesirably or inadvertently achieve a DEFLATED state.

Title: Apparatus and method for distributing buffer status information in a switching fabric
Inventor: BENNING MICHAEL A
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-11-05
Abstract: Network switching and/or routing devices can use switching fabrics that gath er information about output port buffer status and distribute that information to various line cards for use in data frame congestion avoidance. The switching fabric can gather output buffer status information for all output ports and distribute that information to each line card in an efficient, in-band manne r. Individual line cards can use the information to determine from which line card virtual output queue to dequeue data frames destined for the switching fabric. Line cards can also gather output buffer status information associat ed with line card queues used for receiving data from the switching fabric. Suc h data is used in a manner similar to the output buffer data from the switchin g fabric.

Patent CA-2523114-A1 (CA)
Title: A fluid control valve
Inventor: MCINERNEY JAMES J
IPC: F16K11/07
Filed: 2005-10-12
Abstract: The invention provides a fluid control valve for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic pump to and from a plurality of hydraulic motors. The valve conveniently includes selector valve for selectively energizing a flow divider/combiner spool that controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to and from the motors. The flow divider/combiner spool has on its periphery lubrication grooves which also act as metering grooves. An advantage of the fluid control valve of the invention is that it regulates and equalises the flow and pressure of the hydraulic fluid delivered between a hydraulic pump and a plurality of hydraulic motors, thereby enabling each hydraulic motor to rotate in a synchronized fashion when traction control is required and without the operator having to deactivate the valve, the valve will disengage once traction to all wheels has been regained.

Title: System and method for the diffusion of illumination produced by discrete light sources
Inventor: ASHDOWN IAN
IPC: F21V13/00
Filed: 2004-07-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for the diffusion of illumination from discrete light sources (30) such that the illumination is blended and directed in one or more desired directions. The illumination system comprises a substrate (20) having a plurality of light-emitting elements (30) thereon which are arranged in an array, wherein these light-emitting elements produce illumination at one or more wavelengths. Proximate to the light-emitting elements is a diffuser (40), which collects the illumination produced by the discrete light-emitting elements and redirects this illumination in one or more predetermined directions, thereby blending together the one or more wavelengths of illumination and concentrating the illumination in the predetermined directions. The illumination system further comprises a power system, which provides energy to the light-emitting elements (30) thereby resulting in their activation. Through the blending of the illumination produced by the discrete light-emitting elements together with the redirection of the illumination in a desired direction, both of which are enabled by the diffuser (40) placed proximate to the discrete light-emitting elements (30), the creation of a blended pattern of illumination from these discrete light-emitting elements (30) is provided, wherein this pattern of illumination can be one or more lines or planes of illumination.

Patent CA-2537341-A1 (CA)
Title: Pipe coupling for a venting system
Inventor: BIBAUD ANDRE
IPC: F23J13/04
Filed: 2006-02-22
Abstract: A leak proof coupling is accomplished by the combination of the spreading of an end of a pipe and by the insertion of a silicone gasket over the female side of each pipe section. When the sections are put together, the gasket lip is deflected downward to a predetermined amount established by the dimensions of the joint. This deflection generates the compression required to seals the gap between the male and female sides of the coupling. Because of the choice of thickness of the gasket material in combination with the inside and outside diameter of the gasket, assembly of different components of the venting system with each other is facilitated without using special tools or fixtures. Disassembly of the same components for routine maintenance is also easier to accomplish with this coupling design.
