Patent CA-2484962-C (CA)
Title: Seat cushion
Inventor: AMBUEHL PETER
IPC: A47C7/02
Filed: 2004-10-15
Granted: 2010-05-25
Abstract: A seat cushion with a seat surface wall area and a bottom surface wall area has a bulge-shaped transition wall area which joins the seat surface wall area to the bottom surface wall area. Thus, there is a fluid-tight cushion which can be filled with air via a sealable fill opening. In two adjacent spaced apart areas the distance of the transition wall area from the middle of the seat cushion is increased, by which in overhead view lens-shaped areas are formed which project laterally beyond the essentially circular outline shape of the seat cushion which is otherwise determined by the transition wall area. These projecting areas are supports for the thighs of an individual sitting on the seat cushion. Even for a small diameter of the generally circular surface-shaped seat cushion this yields good sitting comfort, since the thighs are supported at least in the area adjoining the buttocks by the projecting supports, as would be the case otherwise only for a seat cushion with an altogether larger diameter.

Title: Process for implementation of a blind handover in an intersystem and interfrequency handover with mobile communications systems
Inventor: BRUCKEN REINHOLD
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2003-06-25
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a blind handover in an intersystem and interfrequency handover in mobile communication systems, whereby a mobile station is supplied by several base stations prior to the handover i.e. it can receive several other base stations in addition to the supplying base station. According to the invention, measurement of the propagation time of the signals received from the base station is carried out by the mobile station on the air interface. The measured propagation times are transmitted to one of the base stations. The location of the mobile station is determined using the transmitted propagation time measuring data by the mobile communication network. With the aid of a data base, at least one suitable base station for an intersystem or interfrequency handover is then selected using the determined location and the data necessary for a handover is transmitted to the mobile station from the selected base station.The mobile station can carry out the handover to the selected base station using said information.

Title: Multifunctional acrylate oligomers as pigment grinding vehicles for radiation-curable ink applications
Inventor: NARAYAN-SARATHY SRIDEVI
IPC: C08L75/14
Filed: 2004-10-12
Granted: 2010-08-03
Abstract: The invention detailed herein comprises a family of multifunctional acrylate oligomers which are useful as pigment grinding vehicles for use in radiation-curable coating formulations. The multifunctional acrylate resins are formed by the reaction of acrylate monomers and oligomers with .szlig.-keto esters (e.g., acetoacetates), .szlig.-diketones (e.g., 2, 4-pentanedione), .szlig.-keto amides (e.g., acetoacetanilide, acetoacetamide), and/or other .szlig.-dicarbonyl compounds or Michael "donors" that can participate in the Michael addition reaction. These resin vehicles have a built-in chromophore that enables ink formulations made from their dispersions to cure under standard UV-cure conditions with significantly less photoinitiator than commercial formulations. The resins also exhibit excellent pigment wetting characteristics and can be designed to function as a single dispersion vehicle for different pigments and different ink applications such as screen, flexographic, and lithographic printing.

Title: Safety chain and rotational devices and replaceable teeth therefor
Inventor: SZYMANSKI DAVID A
IPC: B27B33/14
Filed: 2007-01-23
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: Safety chain and rotatable devices, used on saws or other machines for cutting or abrading material, include a plurality of holding members on which replaceable teeth are retained. Safety lobes prevent the teeth from being dislodged during operation of the saw. The safety lobes may be disposed on a link located upstream of the holding member or disposed on a link located downstream of the holding member, or both. The teeth can include sharp edges adapted for cutting various materials including wood, plastic and metal and can be formed with abrasive surfaces for abrading materials including brick and concrete. The teeth are quickly removable from the saw without the need for fasteners. While the teeth may be retained by engagement between the teeth and holding member, the chain and rotatable devices may retain the teeth on the holding members using only the safety lobes or safety surfaces. The rotational device can include two blades each including holding members and safety lobes. The blades are positioned and fixed to each other effective to enable the safety lobes of one blade to prevent dislodging the of the teeth of the other blade. The chain and blades can include depth gauges or rakers. Saws or cutting or abrading machines are operated while preventing dislodging of the replaceable teeth. When the device is operated to stop movement of the chain or blades, damaged or worn teeth can be quickly replaced with new or replacement teeth.

Title: Method of processing mass spectrometry data
Inventor: LANGE OLIVER
IPC: H01J49/38
Filed: 2005-11-23
Granted: 2014-09-23
Abstract: A method of processing Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS) data comprises carrying out a Fourier Transform of a part of a time domain transient and identifying from that transformed data signal peaks representative of the presence of ions. Once the peaks have been identified, the full transient is then transformed, and the peaks identified in the partial transient transform are used to locate true peaks in the transformed full transient. The number of 'false' peaks resulting from random noise has been found to correlate to the resolution, so that using a partial transient to identify true peaks reduces the risk of false peaks being included;  nevertheless this information can then be applied to the full data set when transformed. As an alternative, different parts of the full data set can be transformed and then correlated; because any noise will be random, false peaks should occur at different places in the two partial transforms.
