Patent CA-2183346-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TERRY GLENN C
IPC: A61B17/16
Filed: 1995-03-13
Abstract: A surgical tool for use in preparing a graft path in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a knee joint in which aligned tibial and femoral osseous tunnels are made for a bone-tendon-bone graft or similar surgery where two bone tunnels are in alignment. The tool comprises an elongated guide body having a guide shaft capable of being positioned within the tibial tunnel and extending into the femoral tunnel, and an elongated channel-like main body which is coaxial with the guide shaft. The main body includes a rasping head and is rotatably and axially slidable on the guide shaft for guided rasping of bone surfaces along the graft path. The rasp head fully encircles the guide shaft and is capable of following the guide shaft to enter and extend beyond the tibial tunnel. The leading end of the guide body includes a guide head with a flexible structure for connecting the head to the guide shaft. The guide head is movable through the tibial tunnel and into the femoral tunnel to position the guide shaft for subsequent rasping of surfaces along the graft path by manually moving the rasping head along and/or about the shaft. The flexible connection of the guide head to the guide shaft enables the knee to be flexed, when the guide body is in place, for inspection of the graft path in the area of the intercondylar notch while the rasping body may serve as a trial prosthesis to check for interference.

Patent CA-2191329-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MITCHELL DONALD K
IPC: G01D5/38
Filed: 1995-05-25
Abstract: The apparatus disclosed herein employs a grating (13) which concentrates light at preselected wavelength into the positive (33) and negative (35) first orders while minimizing the zeroth order (31). The grating (13) is illuminated with monochromatic light (15) of the selected wavelength and a poly-phase periodic detector (25) has its sensing plane spaced from the grating a distance less than W/2tan.theta. where .theta. = arcsin (.lambda./P), where W  is the width of the illuminated region of the grating. The period of the poly-phase detector is equal to P/2 so that each detector element (51) or phase responds principally to the natural interference (37) between the positive redirection of the diffracted light. Preferably, the distance of the sensing plane from the grating (13) is greater than W/2tan where  = arcsin (3.lambda./P) so that the detector response does not include substantial components from diffraction orders higher than the first.

Patent CA-2211185-A1 (CA)
Title: Single tier dryer section with dual reversing rolls
Inventor: DESHPANDE RAJENDRA D
IPC: D21F5/04
Filed: 1995-12-20
Abstract: A paper drying section utilizes two reversing rolls (26, 28) between each dryer roll (22, 24) to extend the available time for vapor to flash from the web. A vacuum box is disposed between the two reversing rolls to support and dry the felt and paper web as it passes from one reversing roll to another. An air cap is used to blow high velocity air onto the exposed surface of the paper web which is held by the vacuum box. The spacing of the two reversing rolls increases the wrap of the single tier dryer by approximately twenty percent over that of a conventional single tier dryer with a single reversing roll. Another configuration dryer section positions the first of the two reversing rolls downwardly beneath its adjacent dryer roll creating a long draw between the dryer roll and the first reversing roll. This long draw is supported by a vacuum box adjacent the felt. The downward positioning of the first roll increases the length of the draw between the first and second reversing rolls, providing additional area for drying by an air cap.

Title: Tailgate ramp system
Inventor: IVES MICHAEL
IPC: B62D33/027
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: A tailgate ramp system comprising a pair of ramp members and an anchor bar which is removably attachable to the latch bolts or to the latch mechanisms on the tailgate of a pickup truck. The anchor bar of the present invention comprises a C-shaped, angle-iron structure having a stem member and two arm members pointing at right angle from the stem member, one at each extremity of the stem member. There is also provided an anchor rod affixed to the stem member for retaining the upper ends of the ramp members extending downward from the tailgate. In a first variant of the anchor bar, each arm member has an opening therein which corresponds in shape and location relative to the length of the stem to a configuration and spacing of one of the latch bolts on the tailgate relative to a width of the tailgate. In a second variant of the anchor bar, each arm member has a pin mounted thereon for engagement with pin-latching mechanisms of modern tailgates having such closures. These pins correspond in shape and location relative to the length of the stem member to a configuration and spacing of the pin-latching mechanisms relative to a width of the tailgate. The tailgate ramp system of the present invention including an anchor bar of a first or a second variant is thereby mountable on conventional tailgates having latch bolts or on newer tailgates having pin-latching mechanisms.

Title: Method of and apparatus for pilot channel acquisition
Inventor: STORM BRIAN D
IPC: H04B1/7117
Filed: 1997-08-12
Abstract: A wireless communication device (100) acquires a pilot channel before an assigned slot when the wireless communication device is operating in the slotted mode of a CDMA system. The wireless communication device comprises a searcher receiver (107) that determines the short-term average pilot strength of active and neighbor pilot channels. Finger receivers (107) determine the long-term average pilot strength of the active and neighbor pilot channels. A logic and control circuit (113) assigns the finger receivers to the pilot channels according to their short-term average pilot strength, determines if the long-term average pilot strength of a neighbor channel is greater that the active pilot channel's pilot strength, and determines to hand off to the neighbor pilot channel with the greater long-term average pilot strength. Moreover, an early detection correlation length can be dynamically adjusted according to the pilot strength of the active pilot channel to shorten the pilot acquisition process.
