Title: Indicateur de conducteurs multiples
Inventor: KLINGER MARK
IPC: H01H85/30
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: Un mode de réalisation de l'invention concerne un fusible présentant une indication de fusible ouvert, deux ou plusieurs bobines ou conducteurs étant montés en parallèle et en contact thermique avec une matière d'indication. Les conducteurs multiples permettent à un faible niveau de courant de produire une chaleur ou une résistance électrique suffisante pour transformer la matière d'indication. Les conducteurs multiples peuvent également présenter un diamètre réduit, ce qui permet d'obtenir une protection contre la surtension à une température de dispositif faible. L'indicateur de conducteurs multiples d'un mode de réalisation comprend une matière de base. Un premier et un second conducteurs sont en contact avec la matière de base. Une matière d'indication est thermiquement reliée au premier et au second conducteur. Cette matière d'indication peut être sur l'intérieur ou sur l'extérieur du corps du fusible. Si elle se trouve à l'extérieur de ce corps, le corps peut définir un renfoncement, l'indicateur étant situé à l'intérieur de ce renfoncement. L'indicateur peut fonctionner avec des fusibles et d'autres types de dispositif de protection de circuit.

Title: A system and method for lifting a jeep axle
Inventor: DUNN SHANE
IPC: B60S11/00
Filed: 2005-02-18
Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a system for moving a trailer from an operable position to a raised position, and releasably locking the trailer in the raised position. The system is comprised of a supporting vehicle. A trailer is connected to the supporting vehicle in a manner that restricts movement of the trailer along a first axis that is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the trailer. Restriction members are able to restrict movement of the trailer along a second axis that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the trailer. A loading member has a surface area. An actuating member is able to apply a force to the surface area of the loading member. This force pivots the trailer about a third axis, generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the trailer, to the raised position where a releasable locking mechanism is engaged to help maintain the trailer in the raised position.

Abstract: L'invention vise à créer des poissons qui n'ont pratiquement pas de problèmes liés aux bactéries et qui gardent une coloration désirée, et notamment des poissons libres de bactéries Listeria et dont la décoloration peut être régulée, ainsi que des produits fumés obtenus à partir de ces poissons. Les poissons libres de bactéries Listeria et dont la décoloration peut être régulée, peuvent être obtenus par le traitement avec une culture liquide d'une bactérie lactique. Plus précisément, le poisson est immergé dans une culture liquide d'une bactérie lactique ayant des effets antibactériens et antioxydants ou dans une combinaison des cultures d'une bactérie lactique possédant un effet antibactérien et d'une autre bactérie lactique possédant un effet antioxydant. Il est préférable d'utiliser une culture de bactérie lactique pasteurisée ou stérilisée. En tant que bactérie lactique on utilise de préférence Lactobacillus sake D-1001 (dépôt NIBH No. 11708, IPOD FERM BP-08544) et Lactococcus lactis IFO 12007. On observe notamment un effet remarquable lorsqu'on utilise des poissons contenant de l'astaxanthine.

Patent CA-2525008-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AHMED FARHAD
IPC: H01M10/48
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A method and a system for accurately reporting battery capacity that do not rely on a coulomb counter are disclosed herein. The method comprises the steps of determining if the battery is in a transition phase and determining the battery capacity based on a transition phase battery capacity model when the battery is in the transition phase. The transition phase occurs upon one of attachment of the battery to a power source and disconnection of the battery from the power source. The behaviour described by the transition phase battery capacity model approaches the behaviour of real transition phase battery capacity so as to minimize the error of the determined battery capacity. The method and system accurately report battery capacity during a transition phase from discharging to charging and a transition phase from charging to discharging.

Patent CA-2529170-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMAKRISHNAN TERIZHANDUR S
IPC: E21B49/10
Filed: 2005-12-06
Abstract: A single probe system is utilized to quickly obtain uncontaminated formation fluid samples. The single probe includes an outer guard tube and an inner sampling tube which is slightly recessed relative to the outer tube such that the pressure at the front face of the probe is substantially uniform. Each tube is coupled to its own pump which controls the flow rate of the fluid moving through that tube. Knowing the size of the sampling tube relative to the size of the outer probe tube, and optionally based on relative viscosities of formation fluids and filtrates, the pumps are caused to generate a particular flow rate ratio through the tubes such that an appropriate pressure is maintained at the front face of the probe and such that the fluid flowing through the sampling tube is substantially uncontaminated.
