Title: Interrupteur d'urgence sur lien telephonique
Inventor: BELANGER DANIEL
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: Il existe plusieurs systèmes téléphoniques pour demander de l'aide en cas d'urgence. Certaines compagnies de système d'alarme offrent de se brancher sur leur centrale, on n'a qu'à faire une touche pré-programmée sur un clavier. D'autres, offrent des boîtes mémoires pré-programmables qui retiennent des numéros de personne à composer en cas d'urgence. En Amérique du nord, il y a aussi le numéro 911 que la majorité des villes possèdent. (il existe d'autres codes pour d'autres pays). Dans la présente invention, il s'agit d'un interrupteur qui se branche directement au lien téléphonique. Un simple bouton. Des qu'il est actionné, il entre immédiatement en contact avec la centrale 911. Il ouvre simultanément la ligne ainsi qu'un émetteur-récepteur et il compose les 3 chiffres. La centrale d'urgence peut communiquer avec la personne dans la pièce. Il permet d'être branché instantanément dans n'importe quel endroit ou il y a un lien téléphonique sans frais supplémentaires. De plus, il peut être très facilement actionné dans la noirceur ou en état de panique, car il n'y a pas de touche à  identifier.

Ce camion pourra transporter l'asphalte, la déposer à l'endroit prévu, la niveler et la compacter. Toutes ces opérations se feront de façon mécanique.
Patent CA-2370176-A1 (CA)
Title: Threaded connection with high compressive rating
Inventor: COSTA DARRELL S
IPC: F16L15/04
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: The surface areas available for absorbing compressive loading of a threaded connection (30) are increased by increasing the engaged area of a torque shoulder (35) in the connection (30) and by reducing the spacing between the stab flanks of the threads (33, 34). The areas are increased by increasing the dimensions of the components and by decreasing the machine tolerances permitted in manufacturing the components. The gap (x) in the connection adjacent the torque shoulder is reduced so that the contact surface area of the torque shoulder is increased while the close proximity of the surrounding cylindrical walls of the connection reduces voids that can receive plastic deformation of the torque shoulder comers.  The surfaces adjacent the torque shoulder are cylindrical (37, 38) in shape rather than being tapered to reduce machining costs and increase the speed of manufacture of the connection.

Patent CA-2381891-A1 (CA)
Title: Flow rate measurement using unsteady pressures
Inventor: GYSLING DANIEL L
IPC: G01F1/7086
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: Flow rate measurement system includes two measurement regions (14, 16) located an average axial distance .DELTA.X apart along the pipe (12), the first measurement region (14) having two unsteady pressure sensors (18, 20), located a distance X1 apart, and the second measurement region (16), having two other unsteady pressure sensors (22, 24), located a distance X2 apart, each capable of measuring the unsteady pressure in the pipe (12). Signals from each pair of pressure sensors (18, 20) and (22, 24) are differenced by summers (44, 54), respectively, to form spatial wavelength filters (33, 35), respectively. Each spatial filter (33, 35) filters out acoustic pressure disturbances Pacoustic and other long wavelength pressure disturbances in the pipe (12) and passes short-wavelength low-frequency vortical pressure disturbances Pvortical associated with the vortical flow field (15). The spatial filters (33, 35) provide signals Pas1, Pas2 to band pass filterS (46, 56) that filter out high frequency signals. The Pvortical-dominated filtered signals Pasf1, Pasf2 from the two regions (14, 16) are cross-correlated by Cross-Correlation Logic (50) to determine a time delay ~ between the two sensing locations (14, 16) which is divided into the distance .DELTA.X to obtain a convection velocity Uc(t) that is related to an average flow rate of the fluid (i.e., one or more liquids and/or gases) flowing in the pipe (12). The invention may also be configured to detect the velocity of any desired inhomogeneous pressure field in the flow.

Title: Ultrawide-band light pulse generation method
Inventor: YAMASHITA MIKIO
IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 2000-08-29
Abstract: A method of generating light pulses in an ultrawide band ranging from the near-infrared region to the near-ultraviolet region. Fundamental sub-picosecond pulses emitted from an ultrashort pulse laser (1) are passed through a nonlinear optical material (6) to produce wavelength--converted pulses whose center wavelength differs from that of the fundamental pulses. The method comprises the steps of separating the converted pulses from the fundamental pulses, delaying the converted pulses relative to the fundamental pulses, adjusting the polarization of the converted or fundamental pulses, adjusting the energy of the fundamental and converted pulses, superposing the separated fundamental and converted pulses on each other, and allowing the superimposed pulses to pass through a nonlinear optical material (22).
