Patent CA-2518537-A1 (CA)
Title: Hermetically sealed gas propellant cartridge for fire extinguishers
Inventor: WIERENGA PAUL H
IPC: A62D/
Filed: 2004-04-15
Abstract: A fire extinguisher includes a tank and a gas generator breech connected to the tank. The gas generator breech is provided with a hermetically sealed gas generator cartridge. The hermetically sealed gas generator cartridge avoids the need to have a release poppet or burst shims on the gas generator breech.  The enclosed space that contains combustion gas pressure is provided by the gas generator cartridge itself and not the gas generator breech. The gas generator cartridge is made from a container that can be the precursor to a beverage can used for carbonated beverages. The beverage can may corne in a thickness and material of construction that makes it a suitable, cost-effective container for the gas generator cartridge. However, other containers besides precursors of beverage cans can be used.

Title: Systems and methods for residue collection with improved letter handling capability
Inventor: STROHMEYER JAMES J
IPC: G01N1/02
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: Systems and methods for the detection of substances (particularly particulate substances) within mail pieces, specifically letters and other "flats" of mail. In particular, the systems and methods are for the detection of residues of Chemical or Biological Warfare Agents (CBWAs) which may be present within the mail pieces. The system is principally designed to be included as part of Dual Pass Rough Cull System (DPRCS) for the collection and detection of the residue when the contaminated mail piece first enters a mail facility and before it is intermingled with other mail pieces. The system also utilizes aerosol chambers using at least two arrays of pinch rollers to provide for decreased incremental changes on mail pieces and decrease the likelihood of mail piece damage.

Title: Memory built-in self-test (bist) architecture having distributed command interpretation and generalized command protocol
Inventor: AVERBUJ ROBERTO F
IPC: G11C29/16
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A built-in self-test (BIST) architecture having distributed algorithm interpretation is described. The architecture includes three tiers of abstraction: a centralized BIST controller, a set of sequencers, and a set of memory interfaces. The BIST controller stores a set of commands that generically define an algorithm for testing memory modules without regard to the physical characteristics or timing requirements of the memory modules. The sequencers interpret the commands in accordance with a command protocol and generate sequences of memory operations. The memory interfaces apply the memory operations to the memory module in accordance with physical characteristics of the memory module, e.g., by translating address and data signals based on the row-column arrangement of the memory modules to achieve bit patterns described by the commands. The command protocol allows powerful algorithms to be described in an extremely concise manner that may be applied to memory modules having diverse characteristics.

Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: A valve-moving device for an engine, where a valve for opening and closing a valve opening of a combustion chamber is opened and closed by transmitting drive force from a drive member to the valve through a drive force transmission mechanism. The drive force transmission mechanism has a transmission portion and a variable portion. The transmission portion transmits the drive force from the drive member to the valve. The variation portion continuously varies the state of transmission of the drive force at the transmission portion by the rotation of an eccentric shaft portion forming the oscillation center of an oscillatably supported control arm, continuously varying the opening time period and lift amount of the valve. At least part of the variable portion is built in the transmission portion, and the variable portion is operated by the rotation of a shaft forming the oscillation center of the transmission member.

Abstract: This invention relates to a seal for sealing a freight container. The seal includes, in its in-~use configuration, a shaft (18) and heads (20) on opposite ends thereof. It includes also an electronic circuit (40) including a radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitter (42) and sensing means (44, 46) for sensing severance of the shaft (18). Severance of the shaft (18), if sensed by the sensing means (44, 46), is detectable by interrogation of the RFID transmitter (42) via a compatible interrogation device. A basic embodiment of the seal comprises parts made mostly of a non-conductive, vulnerable material. Should operational requirements so dictate, additional parts are provided for effectively, in the in-use configuration of the seal, reinforcing the vulnerable parts to yield a tamper resistant seal which still may be interrogated to determine integrity of its shaft. Other embodiments of the seal permit also interrogation to determine the integrity of another part of the seal.
