Patent CA-2178069-A1 (CA)
Title: Coin Handling Device with a Lubrication System
Inventor: MENNIE DOUGLAS U
IPC: G07D3/12
Filed: 1995-10-03
Abstract: A coin handling system comprises a coin-driving member (13) having a resilient surface (16) and a stationary coin-guiding member having a coin-guiding surface (12) opposing the resilient surface of the coin-driving member.  The coin-guiding surface is positioned generally parallel to the resilient surface and spaced slightly therefrom.  The resilient surface of the coin-driving member moves coins along the coin-guiding surface of the coin-guiding member.  The coin handling system uses a lubrication distribution system to reduce friction between the coins (c) and the coin-guiding surface of the coin-guiding member.  The lubrication distribution system includes at least one cavity (99) formed in the coin-guiding surface of the coin-guiding member.  A  reservoir (316) stores a lubrication fluid (314), and a supply tubing (352) is used to convey the lubrication fluid from the reservoir to the cavity.  A control system (318) regulates the flow of the lubrication fluid from the reservoir to the cavity via the supply tubing.

Title: Carpet extractor fluid supply system
Inventor: CROUSER DARWIN S
IPC: A47L11/30
Filed: 1996-08-09
Abstract: A gravity feed liquid cleaning solution supply system particularly suitable for use on an upright hot water carpet extractor having a free floating brush assembly is disclosed. The unique system generally comprises a stationary fluid supply manifold positioned above a free floating brush assembly having multiple laterally disposed rotary brushes rotatable about vertical axle shafts suspended from a laterally disposed brush support beam. The support beam includes open top troughs, one above each individual brush, into which liquid cleaning solution cascades from the overhead manifold. From each fluid trough, the cleaning solution is conveyed to the center cup of an associated rotary brush through a conduit integrally molded into the brush support beam. By this unique structure liquid cleaning solution is supplied to the free floating brush assembly without restricting the floating movement of the scrubbing brushes over the surface being cleaned.
Patent CA-2187122-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUILLARD PATRICE
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne un récepteur à large bande pour la mesure de distance par signaux de code pseudo-aléatoires. Ce récepteur comporte un traitement de signal utilisant la corrélation du signal composite reçu avec des codes pseudo-aléatoires générés localement, avancés/retardés. Le générateur de code (580) envoie ses signaux à une ligne à retard (582) dont les sorties régulièrement espacées (E2, E1, P, L1, L2) sont combinées selon la relation: C = E2 - 2E + 2L1 - L2 avant d'être envoyées à un des corrélateurs (C2), tandis que l'autre (C1) reçoit le signal ponctuel (P). Ceci réduit notablement l'erreur de position due aux retards de trajet multiple. L'invention s'applique notamment aux récepteurs des systèmes GPS ou GLONASS.

Patent CA-2187838-A1 (CA)
Title: Device for Monitoring a Predetermined Level of a Liquid in a Container
Inventor: GETMAN IGOR
IPC: B06B1/06
Filed: 1996-10-15
Abstract: For monitoring a predetermined level of a liquid in a container an ultrasonic transducer is fitted on the outer surface of the container wall at a measurement point situated at the height of the level to be monitored. The ultrasonic transducer contains a piezoelectric  element  which  generates,  when  excited  by  an alternating voltage pulse having a  given transmission  fre-quency, an ultrasonic transmission pulse which is transferred via  a  diaphragm to  the  container wall  and  which  converts ultrasonic vibrations transferred from the container wall to the ultrasonic transducer into electrical reception signals. The diaphragm comprises on the side facing the container wall protuberances which adjoin the  container wall.  Between the diaphragm and the container wall a coupling layer is arranged, the thickness of which is determined by the height of the protuberances. As a result of this the formation of a layer of air between the diaphragm and the container wall is prevented and a jump in impedance avoided so that a good acoustical coupling exists between the diapragm and the container wall.

Title: Transgenic animals expressing human coagulation factor viii and von willebrand factor
Inventor: LUBON HENRYK
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1995-09-21
Abstract: A non-human transgenic mammalian animal contains an exogenous double stranded DNA sequence stably integrated into the genome of the animal, which comprises cis-acting regulatory units operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding human Factor VIII protein and a signal peptide, where the cis-acting regulatory units are active in mammary gland cells and the signal peptide is active in directing newly expressed Factor VIII into the milk of the animal. The promoter may be a milk protein promoter such as for whey acidic protein, casein, lactalbumin, or beta-lactoglobulin promoter. The transgenic mammals are preferably farm animals, for example, cows, goats, sheep, rabbits and pigs. Concurrent expression of a gene for human von Willebrand's Factor into milk may be used to stabilize newly-secreted Factor VIII.

Title: Fuel supplying apparatus for internal combustion engine
Inventor: SUGIMOTO TOMOJIRO
IPC: F02D41/04
Filed: 1997-04-07
Abstract: An apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine is disclosed.  The apparatus includes an injector that is selectively opened and closed and a pump for discharging the fuel to the injector from a fuel reservoir.  The injector is open to inject the fuel to the engine when the engine is running and closed when the engine is idling.  The amount of fuel to be injected is adjusted based on the operating state of the engine.  A pressure sensor detects an actual pressure of the fuel to be supplied to the injector.  A controller computes a target pressure of the fuel to be supplied to the injector.  The controller determines a presumed change of engine speed based on the operating state of the engine and controls the pump based on the presumed change.

Inventor: DOYLE JUDITH L
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1997-06-12
Abstract: A hypodermic needle featuring a multi-beveled point geometry is disclosed. In one embodiment, the multi-beveled point features a primary bevel, a pair of tip bevels, and a pair of middle bevels each intermediate the primary bevel and a respective one of the tip bevels. The primary and middle bevels are provided at angles of inclination, measured between the central axis and a reference plane that are substantially identical. The tip bevels are formed at an angle of inclination respective to the central axis which is not equal to the angle of inclination at which the primary and middle bevels are formed. The resulting five-beveled point geometry contributes to a more continuous bevel face free of abrupt intercepts or transitions between the respective bevel faces, lessening the penetration force required to urge the needle point through skin, flesh, or other material.
