Patent CA-2390517-A1 (CA)
Title: Medical device interface system
Inventor: FRANKLIN-LEES DAVID
IPC: A61B19/02
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: An interface device secures an instrument to a docking station having a casing having at least one signal port and a mounting rail mounted within a recessed portion of the casing. The signal ports may be power or data communications ports. A back panel forms part of an instrument housing for housing the instrument, a first portion protrudes rearward from the back panel and a first recess is carried by the protruding portion. The first recess is dimensioned to receive the mounting rail. A rail cam is rotatably mounted within the protruding portion and is aligned with the first recess to receive and retain the mounting rail and at least one first-portion signal port carried by the first portion. The first portion is dimensioned to fit within the recessed portion of the casing such that the rail cam is positioned to receive the mounting rail and the at least one first-portion signal port is aligned, in a complementary fashion, with the at least one casing signal port. A pole clamp assembly may be positioned near the first and second portions. A pivot member is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position and a post having an axis. The post is mounted to the pivot member for axial movement and mounted thereto such that when the pivot member is retracted the axis of the post is substantially parallel with the back panel and when the pivot member is extended the axis of the post is substantially perpendicular to the back panel.

Inventor: GRAF MATTHIAS
IPC: B27N3/00
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: In the manufacture of derived wood panels, especially those made on a continuous operation press, an undesirable glossy layer is often formed on one or both surfaces of the panel. This glossy layer impedes slip and adhesion qualities of the panel, as well as reducing the water absorptivity.   The object of the present invention is to remove the glossy layer on derived wood panels by means of partial or complete ablation.

Title: Decoding and decryption of partially encrypted information
Inventor: CANDELORE BRANT L
IPC: H04L9/28
Filed: 2002-10-01

Patent CA-2437835-A1 (CA)
Title: Fuel cell plate with variable thickness sealing beads
Inventor: SHAH KANU G
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: A fuel cell apparatus includes at least two facing, parallel plates, stacked together but spaced apart by resilient sealing beads disposed on at least one of the plates. The resilient sealing beads are adapted to facilitate control of fluid flows, such as electrolytes, between the plates and are thus called fluid sealing beads. Each plate contains at least one bolt aperture for securement of the two plates together in the described facing, yet spaced apart, arrangement. Separate beads disposed about the aperture(s) act as aperture load compensation beads. In one preferred embodiment, the fluid sealing beads have one uniform thickness, while the aperture compensation beads have another thickness less than that of the fluid sealing beads. In the same embodiment, the aperture compensation beads are wider, however, than the fluid sealing beads. In another embodiment, the thicknesses of the fluid sealing beads may be varied as a function of proximity of any portion of the fluid bead to the bolt hole apertures, with the thickness of aperture beads being less to accommodate anticipated normally higher stress loads at bolted connections. The invention thus results in an improved load stress distribution over the mated plates, as bolt loading is thereby more uniformly spread over the plate areas.
