Patent CA-2099581-A1 (CA)
Title: Removing metal from composite bodies and resulting products
Inventor: SONUPARLAK BIROL
IPC: C04B35/80
Filed: 1992-01-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for removal of at least a portion of at least one metallic component of a metallic constituent from a fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite body. Particularly, by providing at least one of an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere to be in communication with a permeable mass, which contacts at least a portion of a composite body, said metallic component of the composite body, when made molten, is caused to spontaneously infiltrate the permeable mass. Such spontaneous infiltration occurs without the requirement for the application of any pressure or vacuum.
Patent CA-2100319-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEANER MICHAEL J
IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 1993-07-12
Abstract: A polymer and wood composite structural members can be manufactured by extruding and injection molding a composition comprising polyvinyl chloride, wood fiber and optionally a concentration of an intentionally added waste stream. Such structural members have strength, workability, fastener retention, resistance to rot and insect attack, and thermal properties sufficient to constitute an advanced composite wood replacement material.      The advanced structural member can be used as a component in construction of any structure requiring sized lumber or specifically shaped wood products. In such an application, the structural members can be extruded in the shape of commonly available lumber. The structural members of the invention can also be extruded in complex shapes adapted to the assembly of windows and doors used in both residential and commercial structures. The structural members have a modulus, a coefficient of thermal expansion, a coefficient of elasticity, a compressive strength and other related properties ideal for use as a replacement for either metal or wood, window or door structural components. The preferred structural member is manufactured from a polyvinyl chloride and wood fiber composite that optionally contains an intentionally recycled impurity component.      Such components comprise waste materials common in~the manufacture of wood doors and windows. We have found that the cooperation between the amount of polymer material, the amount of an oriented wood fiber, and control over water content results in the improved structural properties of the composite structural members of the invention.

Patent CA-2105350-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KANOU HIROSHI
IPC: F16D9/06
Filed: 1993-09-01
Abstract: A coupling mechanism for a compressor of an automotive air conditioning system which is equipped with a safety mechanism for preventing damage to the engine due to compressor failure or malfunction. A front end plate with a tubular extension which extends in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft is attached to one end of the compressor housing. A pulley is rotatably supported on said extension by means of a bearing. At its terminal end, the drive shaft is connected to an armature which includes a centrally located hole through which the drive shaft extends. The armature is connected by means of a bolt and a nut and rotates with the drive shaft. The pulley transmits rotational motion from the engine to the drive shaft through an armature plate by means of coupling plate members which are interposed between the pulley and the armature plate. Coupling plate members include breakaway portionswhich may be easily broken if excessive torque is applied due to compressor failure or malfunction. If the compressor failure or malfunction occurs and the drive shaft stops rotating, damage to the engine is avoided because the excessive torque applied by the pulley causes the breakaway portions of the coupling plate members to break and allows the pulley and coupling members to be disconnected from each other. This allows each to continue to rotate independently without contacting or biting each other.

Title: A Catheter Tip for Intratracheal Ventilation and Intratracheal Pulmonary Ventilation
Inventor: KOLOBOW THEODOR
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1992-05-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for intratracheal ventilation (ITV) and intratracheal pulmonary ventilation (ITPV) in which a catheter positioned in a patient's trachea at the carina supplies a constant supply of fresh oxygen containing gas to flush anatomical dead space. By positioning the catheter in the patient's trachea, the dead space of the trachea is bypassed and the trachea is only utilized for expiration. The catheter includes a catheter tip which directs the constant supply of fresh oxygen containing gas in a manner so as to create sub-atmospheric pressures near the carina and thus allows control of intratracheal airway pressures during the entire respiratory cycle and prevents overinflation of the lungs.

Title: Dickory dock grandchild clock
Inventor: MAY STEPHANIE M
IPC: G04C3/00
Filed: 1994-09-27
Abstract: The clock appears to be a miniature Grandfather Clock. It stands 3'9" tall and 11" wide.   The clock, itself is battery operated.  The clock key, instead of winding the clock, turns a large inner wheel in the clock which forces a tape, to which a mouse is attached, to turn rapidly.  When the  child winds the clock, the mouse emerges  from the base of the clock where it is hidden, and goes up one side, over the top and then down the  other side.  Then it rests ( upside down) hidden from view, until more winding causes it to emerge again.

Title: Methods and apparatus for constraint satisfaction
Inventor: KAUTZ HENRY A
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 1994-02-17
Abstract: Abstract A technique for finding values which satisfy a set of constraints. The technique is used with local search procedures for finding such values and overcomes the tendency of such local search procedures to "get stuck" at local minima. The technique dynamically adds weight to constraints in the set which are not satisfied by the current set of values and uses the weights of the constraints to determine the next set of values to be used in the local search. In the disclosed embodiment, the technique is used in the GSAT greedy local search procedure. Also disclosed is asystem for controlling a robot arm which uses the technique.
Patent CA-2117624-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KATO KOICHI
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1994-09-02
Abstract: The present invention is intended to reconstruct or acquire the shape of an object without rotating it.  A TV camera 15 with a fish-eye lens 16 is used to conduct the image-sensing of a vehicle 12 as a moving object over a certain section of its path of travel and a background image is subtracted from each captured image to obtain a silhouette of the vehicle.  The loci of movement of vehicle's tires in each image are calculated and used to calculate the positions of the viewpoint of the TV camera and the vehicle relative to each other in each image.  The shape of the vehicle is reconstructed by projecting the silhouette for each captured image into a projection space while holding the viewpoint of the TV camera and the vehicle at the calculated relative positions.

Abstract: A fitting (10) for attachment to a tube (12,14) by swaging comprises a cylindrical sleeve (16) having a tapered outer surface (18) and an inner surface (20) for receiving the tube (12, 14). A cylindrical swaging ring (22) having a tapered inner surface (50) engages the tapered outer surface (30) of the sleeve (16) such that the axial movement of the ring (22) in a forward direction with respect to the sleeve (16) causes the ring (22) to apply a radial force to the sleeve (16) to swage it to the tube (12, 14). The swaging ring (22) is comprised of a lightweight, high strength material, such as a composite material, and is locked onto the sleeve (16) both before and after swaging by one or more protrusions (66, 74, 76) on the outer surface (18) of the sleeve (16) which coopera-tively engage an annular groove (68, 78) in the swaging ring (22).

Inventor: GNAUCK ALAN H
IPC: H04B10/152
Filed: 1994-04-28
Abstract: An optical communication system and method are provided which utilize dispersion-induced FM to AM conversion with nonlinearity-induced AM stabilization. The system and method utilize a frequency modulated optical signal transmitter, a fiber span, an optical receiver which receives the transmitted optical signal and detects an AM signal resulting from dispersion-induced energy overlaps and voids in the optical signal, and one or more in-line amplifiers spaced within the optical fiber span. By adjusting the number, position and/or output power levels of the in-line amplifiers, stabilization of the energy voids and overlaps and resulting AM signal can be achieved, yielding a substantial increase in achievable transmission distance at a given bit rate.
