Title: To a vehicle mounted warning device
Inventor: SVENSSON LARS
IPC: A01M29/10
Filed: 1994-10-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor vehicle carried warning device for safeguarding against injury to animals from the knife blades or like cutters of a cutting machine which is towed by or carried by the vehicle, such as a mowing machine having rotary cutters for cutting crops such as grass, hay or like pasture, said crops particularly being intended for ensilage. The device includes one or more IR-detectors (1) which register the movement and body heat of an animal located in front of the vehicle and send a first signal to an acoustic unit (2) which produces a sound, preferably a high frequency sound, which is frightening to the animal, and sends a second signal to an operating unit (6) in the driver's cabin of the vehicle, which activates another acoustic unit (3) which produces a sound that is audible to the human ear, and also a light unit (4), for instance an illuminating warning lamp, these units remaining activated for as long as an animal remains in front of the vehicle.
Patent CA-2177663-A1 (CA)
Title: Hinge lock
Inventor: ZELNIK DAVID D
IPC: E05D11/00
Filed: 1996-05-29
Abstract: A hinge lock has two opposing surfaces which, when placed in proximity to outside surfaces of respective leaves of a conventional, unadapted hinge, prevent the hinge from opening. The opposing surfaces of the hinge lock abut exterior surfaces of respective hinge leaves and resist movement of the hinge leaves apart from one another. A hinge knuckle cover portion is connected between the opposing surfaces and encloses the hinge knuckle when the hinge lock is placed over and around the hinge knuckle. When so placed, the opposing surfaces of the hinge lock resist hinge-opening force applied to the hinge. The hinge knuckle cover portion is substantially cylindrical and can have a substantially non-circular cross section which matches a substantially non-circular cross section of the hinge knuckle such that the hinge knuckle cover portion serves to resist movement of hinge knuckle elements of opposing hinge leaves from moving with respect to one another.  In one embodiment, at least one of the opposing surfaces of a hinge lock is a surface of a trimmable extension.  The trimmable extension is made of a relatively soft, friction-reducing material and can be trimmed with an ordinary utility knife to specifically fit a particular hinge.  The trimmable extension can be attached to, or integral with, a sleeve which lines the interior of the hinge lock and which facilitates placement of the hinge lock over and around a hinge knuckle and removal of the hinge lock from the hinge knuckle.

Title: Applying traps to a printed page specified in a page description language format
Inventor: DEUTSCH KEITH R
IPC: G06K15/00
Filed: 1995-01-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a trapping technique that accepts a Postscript or other page description language (PDL) file (300) and outputs a file (400) in PDL format having the correct traps.  The input page (300) is first divided into subportions,  or tiles (312), and the tiles (312) are individually  processed by evaluating  the input file (300) in a corresponding clipping window.  Each tile (312) in then analyzed to determine the presence of  boundaries or intersections  between page objects or color regions.  A trapping analyzer (214) generates trap vectors (710) in accordance  with a set of desired trapping rules (160) which take into account existing traps (734) and the proximity of other page objects. In the preferred embodiment,  the trap vectors (810) are then converted to PDL form.

Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: In a telecommunication system having a network switch capable of independently controlling inbound and outbound call legs,  a system for, and method of, redirecting in-band control of signaling pertaining to a call placed by a calling party and a system for providing automatic call completion from the calling party to a called party.  The control redirecting system includes:  (1) call control circuitry, associated with the network switch, for routing the call  from the calling party to another party through the network switch,  the call thereby having an inbound leg from the calling party to the network switch and an outbound leg from the network switch to the other party and (2) call control redirection circuitry for treating the outbound leg of the call as a second inbound  leg  from the  other party  to  the  network  switch and monitoring in-band control signals received from the other party via the second inbound leg.  The call control redirection circuitry thereby allows the other party to issue the in-band control signals to the call control circuitry.

Patent CA-2194410-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ABRANTES CANDEIAS JOAQUIM ANTO
IPC: G03B21/60
Filed: 1996-05-03
Abstract: Concave-shaped projection screen of great light gain, the light reflexion capacity of which is much greater than the screens currently used because, instead of the silver surface usually used as well as the screen's structural support (1), two pellicles with very different action are used. One (2) is slightly translucent and produces, almost without light absorption, the scattering of the light that passes through it, due to the micrometrical irregularity of its surface. The second one (3), which is completely mirrored, recedes the light in the opposite direction and, by crossing the first pellicle, scatters the light a bit more. Since the pellicles are thin, they can be adhesive, and the first one can also have other characteristics such as a fluted surface, in order to make the light diverge more on a horizontal level than a vertical level, since there is no use in wasting light on the ceiling or the floor.

Abstract: A three-dimensional structure of porous silicon considerably improves the anchorage of sensor-active material such as, for example, enzymes, antibodies, etc., on or in the substrate surface of chemical sensors, in particular silicon-based biosensors. This structure is produced by means of suitable etching which forms pore apertures adapted to the penetrability of the sensoractive material. The pore walls advantageously receive a non-conductive boundary layer which consists of oxides of Si and/or Al or Ta or silicon nitride and are preferably 1 - 100 nm thick. The porous layer is advantageously between 10 nm and 100 .mu.m thick and the pores are preferably in the form of branched ducts whose average diameter is 1 nm - 10 .mu.m and in particular 10 - 1000 nm. The sensor-active material can optionally be distributed in a glass, solid, plastics or polymer membrane.
