Patent CA-2432727-A1 (CA)
Title: Fiber optic displacement sensor
Inventor: FERSHT SAMUEL N
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: A fiber optic displacement sensor (10) includes a flexural disk (16) assembly affixed to mounting post (20) that extends from a support base (22). The flexural disk (16) assembly is mounted in a housing (101). Spiral wound optical fiber coils (12, 16) are mounted on opposite sides (16A, 16B) of the flexural disk (16) with optical fiber leads (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B) extending from both the inner and outer diameters of the optical fiber coils (12, 14).  Optical signals output from the coils (12, 14) are coupled together to form an interferometer (70, 114). An inertia ring (60) connected to the periphery of the flexural disk (16) has a plurality of peripheral slots (68, 92, 38) therein for routing the optical fiber leads (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B) from the first and second optical fiber coils to other components in the housing (101).  The inertia ring (60) has curved side edges (61, 63) formed such that the optical fiber leads (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B) may be spiral wound thereon between the first and second coils (12, 14) and the peripheral slots (68, 92, 98) to prevent damage to the optical fiber leads (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B) from sharp bends. The slots (68, 92, 98) in the inertia ring (60) are arranged to allow differing lengths of fiber to be wound circumferentially in different depth slots to accommodate mismatches in optical fiber lead lengths (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B), which allows the fiber leads (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B) to ultimately exit the flexural disk (16) together and take the same path to the coupler (76) to provide improved common mode rejection of extraneous environmentally-induced phase shifts.

Title: Temperature-sensing composition
Inventor: RUDZINSKI CHRISTINA M
IPC: G01K11/20
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: Temperature-sensing compositions can include an inorganic material, such as a semiconductor nanocrystal. The nanocrystal can be a dependable and accurate indicator of temperature. The intensity of emission of the nanocrystal varies with temperature and can be highly sensitive to surface temperature. The nanocrystals can be processed with a binder to form a matrix, which can be varied by altering the chemical nature of the surface of the nanocrystal. A  nanocrystal with a compatibilizing outer layer can be incorporated into a coating formulation and retain its temperature sensitive emissive properties.

Title: Method for producing rotationally molded parts from semi-crystalline materials
Inventor: SHUTTLEWORTH ADAM JOE
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: A method is provided for producing dimensionally stable rotationally molded parts from semi-crystalline materials. A test mold is constructed having dimensions closely approximating the desired dimensions of the final part. A test part is then molded in the test mold using conventional rotational molding techniques.  After the test part has partially cooled, it is removed from the mold, allowed to cool to ambient temperature, measured and annealed in an oven. During annealing, the part is heated to the crystallization temperature, midway between the glass transition temperature and the crystalline melting temperature. After annealing, the part is allowed to cool to ambient temperature and measured again. The post annealing dimensions are then compared with the dimensions determined before annealing to determine the amount of shrinkage. A production mold is then constructed to take into account the amount of shrinkage calculated. Production parts may then be molded in the production mold and annealed at the crystallization temperature to attain parts having a small dimensional tolerance and high tensile strength.

Title: Extending mobile phone networks
Inventor: LOVELAND SHAWN D
IPC: H04M1/715
Filed: 2004-01-27
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for bridging mobile phone networks with other telephone networks. A telephone network comprises multiple individually addressable telephone lines connected to telephones and to a gateway, which in turn is connected to one or more mobile phones and potentially to one or more landlines. When the gateway receives an inbound call from one of the mobile phones, or an outbound call from one or the telephones, the gateway applies routing rules to determine how to route the call. Routing may depend on a variety of factors, such as time of day, cost, the mobile phone receiving an inbound call. To help identify the mobile phone as the source of an inbound call, a distinctive ring may be selected. To account for differences in the mobile phone network and the telephone network, the gateway translates signals between the two networks.
