Patent CA-2293536-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ADOLPH MICHAEL
IPC: G01C21/20
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A method and device for generating, merging and updating data for use in a destination tracking system which comprises, among others, the following steps:   Generation of data by mobile units (vehicles) to model reality concerning routes) and traffic and storing this data for further use. A highly up-to-date and extremely reliable database is built-up in a simple and efficient way by merging data from many units.    This database makes it possible to answer a number of complex problems, for example, about the passable route network and realizable travel times. On input of an origin and a destination node together with the intended travel time, destination tracking data is calculated from the stored data. Since the origin-destination relationships of the motions carried out by the mobile units in dependency of all conceivable parameters are known, the destination tracking recommendations for each individual participant can be given such that the sum of the times of movement of all participants is minimized.

Title: Circuit board side interconnect
Inventor: MASON JEFFREY W
IPC: H01R13/03
Filed: 2000-01-05
Abstract: The circuit traces of a circuit board extend to and usually outward from a side surface of the board for direct connection to contacts of a mating connector, circuit board or device. The contact portions of the traces are the end surfaces of the traces which in one embodiment extend outward of the plane of the associated side surface of the circuit board. The contact portion may be of greater cross-sectional area than that of the associated trace to provide a contact area of intanded size. The contact portion of a trace may be plated with gold or other appropriate conductive material to enhance conductivity and prevent or minimize oxidation or corrosion. Interconnection to the contact portions of the traces is provided by mating contacts which respectively engage the contact and surfaces of the traces.      Preferably, the mating contacts are resilient conducaive columns or elements which are maintained in engagement with the contact ends by suitable hardware.

Title: Resin multilayer molding method and multilayer molding device
Inventor: OKAHARA ETSUO
IPC: B29L9/00
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: A multilayer molding method and device for integrally molding in a mold a surface material having a resinous decoration layer on its surface and a core resin material, which comprises presetting a temperature relation of Tgs < Tc (where Tgs is the glass transition point of the resinous decoration layer and Tc is the temperature of supplying a molten resin as a core material, conducting the molding under the condition of Tsm > Tgs (where Tsm is the maximum temperature of the resinous decoration layer), and forming a pneumatic heat-insulating layer in a gap formed between the resinous decoration layer and the mold cavity surface facing the decoration layer at an arbitrary time preset within a temperature range wherein the temperature (Tce) of the core resin material being molded satisfies the relation of Tcc >= Tgs. This method ensures a stable supply of multilayer resin moldings of very high quality at a low cost without impairing the surface decoration performance at all.

Title: Prosthetic spinal disc nucleus
Inventor: DICKHUDT EUGENE A
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: This invention is an elongated capsule shaped prosthetic spinal disc nucleus body (100a, 100b) for implantation into a human intervertebral spinal disc made of a hydrogel core, and a constraining jacket surrounding the hydrogel core that permits the hydrogel core to deform and reform. The constraining jacket is configured to allow the hydrogel core to hydrate to a predetermined volume, and will deform and reform in a desired fashion in response to various loads placed upon the spinal tract. The prosthetic spinal disc nucleus assists in restoring the natural physiology of the human intervertebral disc. By implanting two prosthetic spinal disc nuclei side by side into a damaged disc of a human spine, both height and motion can be maintained.

IPC: A01B69/02
Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: field marker arranged for mounting on an agricultural implement at one side thereof includes a marker arm including a marker disk movable between a deployed position extending outwardly of the implement to one side thereof and a retracted position. The marker arm has an inner arm portion and an outer arm portion both of which are formed from two parallel beams with the disk on the outer end of a rear one of the beams. The inner arm portion is pivotal about a first horizontal axis and is supported on a ground wheel spaced outwardly to allow the marker arm to move upwardly and downwardly relative to the implement. The outer arm portion is mounted on the outer end of the inner arm portion for pivotal movement about a second parallel horizontal axis to allow the marker disk to move upwardly and downwardly relative to outer end of the inner portion which is supported on the wheel and to allow the outer portion to move to a retracted position on top of the inner portion. The whole marker arm is moved by a cylinder about a generally upright axis from the deployed position to the retracted position approximately 90° to the deployed position in which the marker arm trails rearwardly of the mounting member with the marker arm being supported by the ground wheel and free to pivot about the first horizontal axis in the deployed position, the retracted position and as it moves from the deployed position to the retracted position.
Patent CA-2299996-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLAHA WILLIAM E
IPC: H01R43/01
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: An insulation displacement connector has a plastic housing including a cover hinged to a case with a conductive clip mounted to the interior surface of the cover. Mechanical latches on the cover and case provide a pre-latch feature during installation of wires and prevent the easy opening of the housing after it has been closed. The housing has funnel-shaped wire entry openings with pre-closure retention members for holding wires inserted into a still open connector. The conductive clip has a base and tines extending from the base. The tines are arranged to impinge on the conductors in a plane normal to the axis of the conductors. The tines are coined to act as a knife edge to reduce the cutting force. The conductive clip's base is mounted such that the closing forces are distributed and the clip will break loose from the cover if an attempt is made to reopen the connector.
