Patent CA-2453026-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEPLEWSKI MAREK
IPC: B23P6/00
Filed: 2003-12-11
Abstract: A method facilitates replacing a portion of a gas turbine engine turbine support (100). The turbine support includes a body (102) including a forward leg (114), an aft leg (120), and a mounting flange (108) that each extend radially outwardly from the body. The forward leg is axially upstream from the aft leg and the mounting flange. The mounting flange is substantially axially aligned with respect to the aft leg. The method comprises cutting through at least one of the body, the aft leg, and the mounting flange, removing the forward leg and at least a portion of the body that is upstream from the cut (140) from the engine, and coupling a replacement spad to the portion of the turbine support that is downstream from the cut.

Title: Bar code reader stand
Inventor: BOUCHER CHRISTIANE
IPC: A47F9/04
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: The present invention provides a bar code reader support stand that is portable and easy to set up in addition to being stable and not easily tipped. The support stand provides a reading surface on which to place a coded medium. The support stand further provides a securing area for mounting a bar code reader, such that said bar code reader is held at a predetermined and fixed distance and angle with respect to said reading surface. The fixed position and orientation of the bar code reader with respect to the reading surface allows for a consistently reliable reading of the coded medium. Installation and usage of the device can be more efficient since the user need not adjust the bar code reader orientation at the time of set-up, nor re-adjust it during the course of usage. The design of the weight-stabilised base allows the device to be set up and used in an active environment without the need to rigidly connect it to a table top by means of screws or bolts. The bar code reader stand according to the present invention may also include a protective structure for protecting the cable interconnected with the bar code reader.  Said protective structure can provide protection for the cable itself as well as to the point of connection between said cable and the electronic device or bar code reader.

Patent CA-2464041-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STARLING JARED
IPC: G01N27/04
Filed: 2004-04-13
Abstract: A chemiresistor sensor probe for defecting target analytes. The probe includes a body having a first control surface and a second control surface recessed within the first. A sensor film comprises numerous conductive particles disposed upon the second surface. The film swells upon absorbing one or more analytes for which it has an affinity, thus causing the conductive particles to become more dispersed and increasing the resistance between the particles, The thickness of the film is equal to the distance between the first surface and the second surface, thus permitting the thickness to be controlled by varying the distance between the control surfaces. The robustness of the sensor probe is enhanced by placing a porous or mesh electrode along with, or in place of, a chemical binding agent between the film and the terminals. The robustness is also improved by placing a diode in series with the sensor circuit.

Patent CA-2472946-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STRANDJORD LEE K
IPC: G01C19/72
Filed: 2003-01-07
Abstract: A system and method is provided which suppresses relative intensity noise in a fiber optic gyroscope, by taking advantage of the frequency response of erbium fiber. In operation, the gain provided by the erbium fiber is added to the gain of the other components in the feedback loop to provide for stable loop performance up to about 250 kHz. The frequency response of the erbium fiber of about 3 kHz also provides a 6db per octave roll-off, which when used in a negative feedback control loop for controlling the current flowing to the gyroscope light source. THis, in turn, allows for a relative intensity noise control loop with a bandwidth much greater than 3 kHz, which may be used in high performance gyroscope applications.
