Patent CA-2561242-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHELTON FREDERICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 2006-09-28
Abstract: A surgical severing and stapling instrument clamps tissue in a staple applying assembly comprising a lower jaw of an elongate channel holding a staple cartridge and a pivotally opposed upper jaw (anvil). A firing handle drives a rack in a handle connected to a firing rod and bar that pass through an elongate shaft and into the staple applying assembly to sever and staple tissue. Upon release of the firing handle, a retraction spring assists in withdrawing the rack and other firing components. To advantageously assist in firing, a spring biased plunger is cocked prior to firing to impart assistance upon depression of the firing trigger. Alternatively, a torsion coil spring ratchet mechanism is preloaded to act through a gear into the rack to assist. As a further alternative, a retraction spring is preloaded and disengaged until the rack is fully fired.

Further, the system preferably includes a document management component that allows for the electronic storage and indexing of required and/or preferred documents (e.g., w-2, 1099, articles of incorporation, proof of GST#, security clearance, authorship/ownership rights, contract, master service agreement, confidentiality agreement, etc.) relating to the work relationship. The document management component, in its most preferred form, further allows an entity (e.g., contactor, client, vendor or other system user) to examine, in real time, all required and/or preferred documents in a work relationship.  Moreover, the system preferably includes a market rate reporting component that allows an appropriate user entity (i.e., client, vendor, sub-vendor, contractor, etc.) to create and generate market rate reports providing the user entity with actual data showing current market rates and market rate trends to allow the client to better analyze and manage spending. The rates that can be tracked and reported on include but are not limited to requisition rates, submitted rates and hire rates. The status (i.e., active or inactive/past) of any of the foregoing rates can be tracked and reported. The market rate report aspect of the present inventions allows the user entity to customize the market rate report to meet the user entity's specific needs.
Patent CA-2570000-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GERICKE DEAN
IPC: B62D23/00
Filed: 2006-12-04
Abstract: An attachment mount apparatus connects a subframe component to the lower frame midrail structure for an automotive vehicle that is formed from a pair of tubular members manufactured through a hydroforming process. The two tubular members are formed with a pair of opposing semi-cylindrical depressions to receive a cylindrical mounting member internally of the frame structure. One of the semi-cylindrical depressions and the corresponding outer wall of the tubular member are pierced to receive the cylindrical mount and a mounting plate. The opposing semi-cylindrical depression serves as a stop to locate the cylindrical mount along the centerline of the frame structure. The mounting plate spans the entire frame structure and is supported on four wall thicknesses to provide a stable mount structure for subframe components. The cylindrical mounting member is threaded to receive a fastener for the mounting of the subframe member.

Title: Ventilateur autonome de transfert thermique
Inventor: REID RANDALL H
IPC: F24F7/007
Filed: 2006-12-12
Abstract: Un ventilateur autonome pour la circulation d'air est destiné à être utilisé en coopération avec une source de chaleur, comme un poêle à bois, et présenta un premier élément de transfert de chaleur thermiquement et physiquement relié à la source de chaleur. Les pales du ventilateur créent, lors du fonctionnement, un premier ou flux d'air chaud et un second ou flux d'air de refroidissement. Le ventilateur présente un second élément de transfert de chaleur avec une structure de module de thermocouple située entre les deux éléments de transfert de chaleur. Le premier élément de transfert de chaleur est constitué d'un matériau approprié et présente une taille, une masse et une forme appropriées de manière à procurer un gradient de température approprié entre la structure de thermocouple et la source de chaleur pour permettre, lors du fonctionnement, un tel transfert de chaleur suffisant du premier élément de transfert de chaleur vers le thermocouple, pour générer une puissance suffisante pour générer une rotation des pales, mais pas pour entraîner des dommages thermiques à la structure du thermocouple. Les pales du ventilateur sont construites et conçues de manière à amener une partie du second flux d'air à être entraîné au-delà du premier élément de transfert de chaleur pour permettre un effet de transfert de chaleur de refroidissement sur le premier élément de transfert de chaleur. L'amélioration réside dans le fait que le moteur situé sur le premier élément de transfert adjacent à un côté de la structure du thermocouple éloignée du second élément de transfert ne gêne pas le second flux d'air, et est situé de manière appropriée pour ne pas être thermiquement endommagé, lors du fonctionnement, par le premier élément de transfert de chaleur ou par la source de chaleur.
